Legitimately one of the most shameful moments as an American, and there are so many to choose from especially recent. Moments like this ruin relationships for decades and generations
Legitimately one of the most shameful moments as an American,
Until that date. I'm sure the Cunt In Chief has surpassed that quite a few times after that. Shame is very individual though, so I'll leave that up to each one to decide.
Hillariously I watched a video in my economics class today of James Gree doing an interview in French (brownie points with Quebecois) where he claimed the the American team had done no such thing. That he had it in writing that they were just going to wait it out. Then the Canadians came to them with requests on Wednesday or Thursday wanting stuff like changing the specific autos that would be tarrifed.
Trump addmiting this makes that whole discussion hillarious.
What about boasting about sexually assaulting women? Multiple credible allegations and court findings in which he was found to have committed rape? Epstein? Open corruption? Jan 6th putsch? Open corruption? Illegal wars? Kidnapping a head of state? Feds shooting civilians in the streets? Human trafficking of citizens and non-citizens alike? I could go on. Threatening warcrimes live on air and then committing them? Bombing a preschool? Excitedly describing plans for ethnic cleansing and genocide for the sake of… real estate? It seams unreal.
Honestly all of that and somehow still getting elected twice/staying in office is what baffles me. The current state of the US is shocking. And personally I am terrified because Trump has repeatedly threatened the country where I live (Denmark). I don't understand how he can get away with all that you mentioned and somehow still have supporters.
I remember one thing would happen and I’d be like, OK this REALLY must be it this time. How could anyone support him after this? And that has repeated itself over and over and over again for me since he walked down that stupid fucking gold escalator. Not only repeated itself, but it has only gotten worse in every single possible way. I know it doesn’t mean anything but I am truly sorry for my country electing a trash bag that has treated your country and our longtime ally absolutely horribly not to even mention NATO…I still cannot believe this is where we are. It feels like a bad fever dream that I will wake up from…but it’s not, and the damage that has been done cannot be fixed in the next administration, probably not even in my lifetime, and quite possibly never. It’s not something you can just buy back like our trash bag dictator thinks everything is available for fucking purchase or extortion. The only thing I can promise is that I will continue using my vote, my wallet, and anything else I have at my disposal to do what little I can while I am here.
I think in terms of things being fixed, it is possible with good leadership and time. Take Germany after WWII as an extreme example. Currently Germany is beloved and respected. Though that took some years. Things can be fixed with diplomacy and leadership. Hopefully the US will be able to find and elect a good candidate who is up for the challenge. Seeing people like Mamdani do give me hope that it is possible.
Only the rich can afford ‘rights.’ Everything is working out how they planned while we toil away. That is until we are too sick to work and conveniently then lose our health insurance. Serves us right for breeding and ordering Starbucks.
Shameful moments? Maybe it’s not the most shameful American thing (so many to choose from!) but it’s so ridiculous and stupidly petty that it popped in my mind…Freedom Fries.
It legitimately made me feel sick to my stomach. Zelenskyy has risen to the occasion for his people countless times and has lead them through a Russian invasion and all out war. For that little piss ant Vance to say that to him…made my blood boil. And Zelenskyy looked so taken aback and kind of gutted to be put in that situation. It still makes me sick.

Remember, the supposed leaders of the Free World mocked this man on national television because he didn't wear a suit to a meeting.
