Trump is the head of an organized crime family. He is a mobster, a gangster and a monster.

In times of crisis, we are desperate and as a nation we crave for a leader to show themselves. History has shown the strongest of them are women. History has been re-written to ignore this fact. We take no prisoners, and this is true across race, creed and color. Women must unite. And men must accept us as leaders and equals.

Do not let anyone divide us. Not today for they fear all of us the enemy we must take on. The leaders are rising, and the people are getting louder and ever more present. My comments are meant to shine a light on the strength of women which number half of all of us and to point out we are a gas tank half full if women's voices and leadership continues to be not palatable based on what is ancient misogyny and something we can no longer afford for the sake of our children.

We need more women in positions of power and leadership. As an example, look at the recent gathering of NATO leaders in London. Not only was the meeting led by a female Prime Minister it was notable how many female Prime Ministers were amongst the other leaders.

In Europe and nations across the world women blend seamlessly into all parts of each Nations's community. They are accepted and seen as partners, equal partners. Are we ready yet? There is not time for debate because what needs to be done will be done by men and women led by men and women.

United we stand. Divided we fall in a pile of shit that will bury us.

When it comes to women in leadership roles this country is very backwards ! ItтАЩs shameful that the ERA still hasnтАЩt been passed! What is wrong with this country? We always brag that we are the greatest country on earth but we canтАЩt even pass the Equal Rights Amendment? ThatтАЩs pretty pathetic and Americans voted in a very backwards thinking Trump!

I firmly believe the exclusion of women and disenfranchisement of all people no matter their race, origins, language/accent, age, gender, sexual orientation, disability or any diversion from тАЬthe collective usтАЭ versus тАЬthose buried by what is a visceral response and categorizing as the otherтАЭ is the basis of the downfall of our democracy.

For centuries our societyтАЩs culture has been burdened by discrimination; and most especially burdened by the exclusion of women from power, and as a result we remained stuck and never matured or changed despite much talk and legislation.

Today we are there. Today is the result of our nationтАЩs inability to mature and reach self-actualization, and today all of us will suffer physically, mentally and financially and literally become impoverished and made vulnerable.

Not simply because the richest amongst us are rising and seizing all power, but because our culture unlike the democracies across the globe is fermented upon the oppression of females and discriminatory visceral response to all the тАЬothersтАЭ from participating fully in the strengthening and potential of what was in fact a nation from its beginning built on the premise of inclusion.

Save women of course for women fall into a тАЬspecialтАЭ and inescapable role of discrimination deeply baked into our culture over hundreds of years when the first error in judgment was made and that is in the writing or our Constitution which never mentions us.

Remember the words spoken but ignored of Abigail AdamтАЩs in her plea to her husband, one of the authors of our Constitution тАЬDonтАЩt forget the ladies.тАЭ We тАЬladies of todayтАЭ 250 years later are assigned to a double role which is being allowed to run in and fix immediately all that is complex and broken after which we are once again consigned to our positions under the bus.

Our nation did not listen. Those in power did not listen. No one is listening and we now witness and experience the inevitable fall of our democracy. We will fall because we were weakened by edging out women and all the тАЬothersтАЭ.

So today, my fellow Americans, we stand together in utter shock upon a landscape that is our reality living under the cruelty of an oligarchy.

But we can watch from our destroyed democracy the glowing landscapes of the more enlightened and self-actualized democracies united and growing stronger while we pine and wish for their assistance, seek their harbor and sanctuary.

We and our children and their children have lost what was once ours and neglected and taken for granted, for we will be the starved and we will be the oppressed and we will be the immigrants seeking escape from what was once a democracy.

We did not listen to the words of Abigail Adams тАЬDonтАЩt forget the ladiesтАЭ while we assumed the work of her spouse and the founding fathers would continue without any work or concern by us.

We did nothing to grow our democracy. We neglected our civic duties. We turned away and then we were manipulated by those who wanted it all; those who own our media (namely Fox News and The Washington Post and medica outlets and our social media and sell us their goods for which they admit have been programmed to addict us to the blue screens).

We lost to them without even knowing we were at war with them. We lost to them who give not a hoot for democracies or you the people. With TrumpтАЩs speech yesterday we have been defeated, and they won. And there was much applause by their well cared for and manicured hands.

All the while across the globe democracies did listen as exemplified by their acceptance of тАЬothersтАЭ and their embrace of women in power and their recognition of need by providing for their citizens (health, education, day care, housing, elder care).

They will rise and unite launched by their culture of acceptance, and by necessity under threats issued by our leaders, they will defeat us and those governments that once were our тАЬenemiesтАЭ for we today have more in common with our enemies than we do our allies. In fact, we have over time and sealed by the last election aligned with our enemies and now will be abandoned by our allies.

What Trump tried to do to Zelensky is what he insists on from his adversaries when coming to a тАЬdealтАЭ. He insists in a final humiliation. ItтАЩs a game. ItтАЩs a pattern.

He is a bully. He miscalculated and became the humiliated one!

Trump stomped on America that day for Putin. ThatтАЩs the message. He is a Russian asset. Treat him as such! DonтАЩt treat him like heтАЩs the POTUS.

If everything heтАЩs done and behaved are not the actions of a Russian asset, tell me what is. ЁЯдФ

The GOP now supports Russia over America.

ItтАЩs going to be a long and dangerous four years and I will be wearing these kinds of shirts everyday until this nightmare ends ЁЯСЗ

This is right to the point. Trump changed his mind about the deal which IтАЩm pretty sure Zelenskyy wasnтАЩt too happy with. But Zelenskyy was subjected to abject bullying and meanness, in public. Trump pivoted, perhaps pirouetted to spoil the deal and humiliate Zelenskyy rather than take heat for what some might have felt to be a bad deal. For Putin!

The felon had no intentions on any agreement with President Zelensky, he was only going to take the minerals and help putin with the war, after all, putin owns the felon and musk. Even musk's son poke what he heard his father state more than once, he told the felon he was not the POTUS, he even said after that, he told the felon to shut his mouth.

Trump is playing Putin's cards. Trump is afraid of Putin. Mark Meadows told that to Congress after January 6th insurrection. Its Putin who wants all of those precious minerals in Ukraine. Hitler wanted to get his hands on it too. The people of Ukraine burned down their cities and set the oil wells on fire so Hitler wouldn't have access to it. Russia has always hated Ukraine. Also, Ukraine in history never was under the Russian government until the end of the second world war. Ukraine belonged to the Mongolian Empire. And Russia was never able to defeat Ukraine until the end of the second World War.

They supported Russia Over America since before Trump became president the first time. That's why Trump visited Putin while he was campaigning back then. When I saw that trip in real time I decided right then I would never vote for Trump. Why in the world would a non-politician go visit the head of another state while campaigning?

Putin probably gave Trump illegal campaign money. Putin and Trump have been having dealing all the way back to the 1970's. KGB buddies! I read that one in the Irish paper. The land areas that Putin is holding right now and Ukraine is trying to push Putin's Army out of, is where the mines and the minerals are located. Ukraine could be a very wealthy nation. Europe will deliver Ukraine. It's just a matter of time when one of Russia's drones makes a mistake and hits Poland or Romania or some other NATO country. I am praying that it happens. That will get America off her ass and force the stinking Republicans to oust their rotten master in the White House.

You are so right and itтАЩs up to us to get rid of him because there isnтАЩt one decent person in the Republican party who wo admit that they are after a dictatorship with Republicans only. This is their goal they are all TRAITORS ! It doesnтАЩt appear that there is even one Republican who is an honorable person! We have to protect our country with help from the Democrats we must volunteer! I am still stunned that Trump with all his crimes was allowed to run for the Presidency! Not that many years ago a candidate from Colorado a Democrat was demonized for being in a boat with a woman not his wife but with others too! His campaign was over big scandals! Now we have a rapist felon, monster who wants to impoverish millions of American citizens so he can give the money they earned through Social Security to multi millionaires!

Thomas, that's what the people of Germany thought. They didn't believe that a rotten man would get elected and destroy their Constitution and rule their people like a mad man. Hitler destroyed all of Germany. The same thing that Trump is doing right now to America. Where the hell are our Army Generals?

They knew Russian reporters with camera were filming the event directly to Putin. Only we, the people, didnтАЩt know it was happening. They were pleasing their Kremlin master. A big win for Putin and for Trump as well as he can gladly say to our European allies: F**k you! Over the weekend repugnant GOP demanded Zelensky to resign.

Zelensky will never resign. He has a 54% approval rating from his people. And Trump showed just how ignorant he is on the cameras. Ukraine is under Martial Law because they are at war. When a country is at war and under Martial Law, there are no elections. It can't be done. This is the reason President Roosevelt remained in office till he died during the second World War. And Churchill continued as the Prime Minister of England. Trump is truly unfit for office. He has no idea of how to run a country or anything except to destroy everything he touches. And like Zelensky said to both Trump and stooge Vance, you don't care because you are protected by 2 oceans. But when World War 3 gets started, then you will care. Our oceans will no longer protect us.
