We don’t allow religious nutcases to stand outside abortion clinics intimidating women……we believe in women rights, we consider Americas conservatives to be freaks and weirdos …….what’s wrong with your country?!!!!

I get it and I apologise to the decent Americans who are undoubtedly there, but it’s so frustrating to watch just how many stupid stupid nasty racists and misogynists are fucking your country over

No apologies necessary. It's great to get the perspective of someone viewing this from outside the US

Our view is America is split……half are decent kind moral people who should probably get to fuck out of there if they have the means……the other half are racist women hating fake Christian gun toting child murders with over inflated egos…..a caricature of a Texan redneck !!!! sorry to be brutal but that’s what the rest of the world is seeing!!!!

Americans with their eyes open here, view it in much the same terms, however, we are confounded by how "reasonable" people here are normalizing the insanity. So many seem afraid to confront the obvious.

I have the means and expertise to leave, however, I will remain and do my small part to push back against these crimes and injustices.

Well, Ms Scotland, I would love to move out of this white racist, misogynist country. And how do you suppose we do that? Just because the US is run by oligarchs right now, the majority of Americans do NOT have the money or resources to move. I have researched several countries but I don't have the finances. Instead of your snide remarks, what about having some compassion for the millions of Americans who are scared, grieving, angry, and have lost family and friends because of the hatred of other Americans. I, personally have lost family and friends because they are so full of hatred. I, and millions of other Americans, would never downgrade you and your country because part of your country supports tyranny. Are you aware this is not just an insanity in the US...this is world wide! Where is your compassion for the innocent of any country?

You have a very valid point Linda….. I apologise and you’re right…..their poison could go viral, but it’s so frustrating watching a people self harm the way the US has and it’s frustrating to watch. I can feel your pain and anger and I certainly don’t blame you……I would be beside myself if my own country went the same way. 100 years of fighting for human and particularly womens rights down the fucking pan because of these MAGA morons

I appreciate your apology more than you know. I have been a working nurse for 40 years and all the professionals like me are helpless to the hateful take over of the CDC and RFK who has NO experience of any kind. What you know from outside the US is nothing like the horrors we are living. To know that our allies hate us. To know that Canada is being attacked by the felon in office. It is beyond comprehension to millions of Americans! I despise both political parties for every part they play. And.... the politicians are not paying the price for the insanity. They are not suffering like the rest of us. If you pray, please pray for us who are suffering the greatest losses in the history of this country. Please show us compassion and understanding!

Thank you for your words and your honesty. It's so frustrating. People seem to worship the evil and have just caved.

You named the biggest atrocity! I despise every woman who voted for this.

If you have the answer to that question, please let all of us Americans who DID NOT VOTE FOR THE PIG IN OFFICE KNOW!

If you don't know that half of the US are racist, misogynists who are telling us they rule our bodies…you are NOT INFORMED! I worked for Planned Parenthood and fought for women's issues for 50 years! Don't criticize those of us who are living in HELL right now!

I didn't know Scotland was the perfect country to live in. Are you taking American refugees from the fascist regime?

Expand full comment

I honestly hope we do…..Scotland isn’t perfect, no country is but I look over the ocean and thank F I live here, I hope your country comes to its senses soon or I really worry for you and I’m scared the Bastards will infect the whole western world with their poison

I'm of Scotch/Irish descent and I wish to God I'd have been born where you're at.

The United States government seems to be getting worse and worse every 4 years. The democrats are always trying to be "Goody Two Shoes" and in turn, we get walked all over by the Republicans and then we're caught in a whirlpool that we can't get out of.

I stand corrected. Thank you. What the heck do I know? My father always said we were Scottish. LOL

Do you have a Scottish last name?

That’s exactly how I see it…….how many generations do you go back ?, have you heard of the Highland clearances ?, that may be how you ended up there…..search it…..it might give you a new perspective on the immigration crisis.

Look closer! The whole western world is already affected! What do you think is going to happen if Europe has to defend Ukraine when the the felon pulls the US out and partners with Putin?

It’s actually unbelievable, I honestly lie awake at night worrying where it will all end and when the madness will come to our shores, because you’re absolutely right……..it will

Many are all about power and control. It's a laughing stock. People are going to do what they do no one can control any of that. The trump regime hasn't come to terms yet.

As a Canadian citizen who lives just a few miles from the US border, both US and Canadian politics are so interwoven into the fabric of my daily conversations with family and friends on both sides. I find listening to Michael and MeidasTouch, and others dedicated to sharing the truth with integrity, invaluable. I've lived on both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, but here in Eastern Canada is home. I feel like those of us on this side of the country have a unique connection to the pulse of both nations. In fact, locally we say we're going 'over across' when we go to the States. (Our grandparents called it 'across the line'). When someone says they're going to 'the States' it sounds too formal and impersonal. I could literally walk a couple of miles and shake hands with an American cousin who is 'over across'. You are helping us to keep the candid and informative conversation going so that line between our 2 nations doesn't become a divide. It's a conversation that just keeps getting louder.

This is for Michael Cohen: I appreciate all your efforts to make it right and I know your motives are altruistic.

CHASING THE TRUTH, NOT CHASING THE PARTIES, IS WHAT COUNTS, NOT VOTING FOR THE SAME PARTY TIME AFTER TIME, IF THEY ARE WRONG YOU GOT TO SAY SO NOT LOOK THE OTHER WAY, THEY HAVE TO EARN MY VOTE AND IF NONE OF THEM HAVE MY STANDARDS THAT I EXPECT I WONT VOTE FOR ANY OF THEM, TRUMP WANTS TO BE DICTATOR OF DICTATORS AND WE ALL HAVE TO DO OUR BEST TO SAY NO

Cohen, you've talked for a long time about running for congress, contingent upon whether you got your family's support. So glad to hear the time has come & that you are moving forward. You have all of our support too.

Cohen,

Is Trump capable of ordering a lethal hit, or a beating?..of course..he probably would say it in mob talk.
