Who do you trust more, the KGB mafia dictator of invader Russia who has lied to you repeatedly and broken every international agreement, or the elected leader of Ukraine who keeps his word and has never lied to you? 🤷♂️
Ross Douthat: Who do you trust more, President Putin or President Zelenskyy?
Trump: I'd rather not say... There's tremendous hatred between Putin and Zelenskyy.
Douthat: Isn't it more understandable coming from Zelensky given that his country was actually invaded?
Trump: There was great disrespect shown to Russia.

It's a good question--one we've been asking for a decade now--but there needs to be a "and what are we going to do about it?" call to action. We all know. We all wonder why. But acting on it is most important. Tell your new Congress to kick the KGB out of the Oval Office.
Billboards reading "WHY IS TRUMP SELLING OUT AMERICA TO PUTIN?" have been spotted in Illinois, Atlanta, and Florida.
The message and imagery are directly linked to recent geopolitical decisions that have drawn significant backlash from critics, including Ukrainian-American and Eastern European communities.
Reportedly the organization behind the campaign is called Home of the Brave. It has also produced a video ad and launched a dedicated website titled "Why Is Trump Selling Out America to Putin?" You can visit the website here: whyputinfirst.org
The organization also published an article explaining the reasoning behind the campaign:

I don't know much about this organization or where else these billboards have appeared. If you have any additional information, please share it in the comments!

10 years ago today @HillaryClinton nailed the bleak future ahead if Trump was elected.
“Clinton: Putin would rather have a puppet as president. You won't admit the Russians engaged in cyberattacks against the US, that you encouraged espionage against our people, that you spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants you to do.”
Every word is true. Tragically, his capitulation to Russia is even worse than imagined.

Trump: "Putin has no respect for this person."
Clinton: "That's because he'd rather have a puppet as president of the United States. You're willing to spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants to do."
October 19, 2016. She was right.

Interesting to hear that 71% of Canadians have been constant in their boycott of USA products and USA travel. It has now been over 6 months that we have stayed the course. Shows our determination and grit! Time for Canadian producers & sellers, to get in line and be clear about "made in Canada" designation, which is still fuzzy. Get with the program! Support Canadian farmers and businesses 🇨🇦

Even Fox Business News just destroyed Trump's stupid tariffs on Canada.
"We need more cooperation with our Canadian friends rather than picking these unnecessary and damaging fights. And this trade deficit that's got the White House in a lather comes mostly from heavy crude that we import that we need for gasoline and other products that we sell here and elsewhere. "We're shooting ourselves in the foot and also other places by putting a tariff on. It's just one of these inexplicable things, especially on a Monday morning, almost leaves one speechless at the absurdity and the destructiveness of the whole thing. Stop it, stop it. Stop it."

🚨Trump calls JB Pritzker a "dumb, stupid slob."
Just a reminder that JB Pritzker balanced the Illinois budget with a $0 deficit AND has signed relief for groceries and gas.
Trump is a 5th grade bully who apparently needs to look in the mirror.

Chantal Hébert: "What I see today is that those polls that show 75% of people backing Mark Carney are quite extraordinary. But the opposite is not true in the US. That is not happening to President Trump and his crew. No one is saying, 'Good for you. Please stand up to Canada and hit them more.' They are losing that PR battle at home."
