Sounds like the Germans during WWI, before Hitler. I'm reading "Intimate Voices - from the First World War" and in it you can see the beginnings of Hitler's way of doing things. One town in France that was occupied by the Germans and the people were ordered to pay them - half a million francs then several days later, one million francs, several days later, they took their flour, several days later they took other food items, then they took their cows, then they put up signs that said the men were to come to a certain place at a certain time because they were going to be prisoners, then they forced people to pay them a pet tax or else they had to kill their pets, etc. I feel a little freaked out because it feels like that is what is happening to us, just a lot slower, but it's about to go faster in January when Trump is back in there.
Biden is a statesman who has been in government for 52 years. He is going to honor protocol regardless of Trump. He will go out in what is in his mind a dignified way. What struck me was Melanie (as Trump called her) not accepting Jill's invitation. Yet Jill handed Trump a very gracious letter that she composed and asked that he give it to his wife. I could not have done that and it was unnecessary in my opinion. Melania is as repulsive as Trump by all accounts of those in the know.
Thank you, Mr. Flannery! My husband and I agree with you on all points. Additionally, the American flag should not be seen as a symbol for a convicted felon who should never have been allowed to run for president in the first place. As such, he's not my president either, and the American flag does not represent Trump. I can't believe the Founding Fathers didn't explicitly state in the Constitution that convicted felons cannot hold the office of president! 🤦🏻♀️
Totally agree with you, John. Back in the day, I said Tricky Dicky was *NOT* my president. Now his wrongs look like nada compared to the orange dude. I too love Our Country. 🇺🇸We're not perfect but we *DO NOT* deserve what lies ahead. Heaven help us.
I have taken every COVID vaccine I could. Since 2021, I have had 7 COVID vaccinés. At 70 now, I plan to take one every six months and continuing flu shots annually.
Somehow I too have escaped Covid with caution & the help of vaccines; very grateful. mRNA vaccines are showing great promise in the treatment of pancreatic cancer; heretofore a death sentence & now offering hope for many. Means the world to me as I lost my mother at 47 years young to this awful disease 🥺❤. Thank you science & research 🙏.
Isn't the person that is president elect, required to meet the requirements for Security Clearance? Let alone any Insurrectionists, in any Government Offices...
Well, there should be new laws across the board to correct all of the “gentlemen’s agreements” our forefathers thought were enough. But it won’t happen under Dump. 😢
The only way I can stomach that "meeting" between Trump and Biden, is the shred of hope that it was for show, and behind the scenes, the administration is working hard to come up with a plan to at least ATTEMPT to block this regime from completing its coup and taking power. I am afraid that it is a fool's hope...regardless, it is horrifying to witness, and feels like a knife through the heart of every American who loves freedom and democracy.
Canada is not immune to what affects Americans at 82 years old it's concerning. Thank you for sharing info and reassuring walks . Love and respect to you!
When I saw President Biden smiling, grinning, and shaking hands with " Donald," all cozy with Trump, i wanted to immediately vomit. As an American who deeply loves my country , it was the ultimate arrow and blow to my heart. Although I have respected Joe Biden and what he has done in the past for our nation, Biden has to be 1. Spineless. 2. Naive. 3. Mentally less strong. 4. Complicate. 5. Knows something we don't know. We Democrats think we can play fair and by the "rules."
I know the old saying about keep your enemies closer but IMO he didn’t have to shake his hand I pray wish with every fiber of my being that Joe does know something and is keeping it close to the vest until the appropriate time ⚖️🇺🇸💙
Thank you, John Flannery. I agree with you 100% that the orange menace meeting with Biden in the White House, both smiling, did a dis-service to our democracy. As you say, the gesture 'normalized' the orange menace. Just heaved a big sigh here! The madness just keeps on coming.
Absolutely agree with you100%! I think it made Biden and our Democracy look weak to acknowledge Trump in any way as a legitimate leader of this nation.
Yes, it turns out cool looking sunglasses are no substitute for balls…sorry to be crude, but it’s beyond civil words! There evidently was NEVER a Dark Brandon with a spine!
You put into words what many of us have been feeling about the meeting between T and Biden. Many of us don't understand why. It's actually heartbreaking
Thune was among the seven Republican lawmakers who went to Moscow for some unknown reason on July 4, 2018. Better Senate majority leader than Rick Scott, perhaps, but the American people should be told what that trip was about. Is the entire elected and appointed Republican Party, with few exceptions, compromised?
We've been wondering for years, though and at the very least the administration does not appear concerned about it, or have no intention of doing anything. Many things, including what I suspect was a quid pro quo between Justice Kennedy and Trump. Maybe the CIA wasn't what I thought it was, as I was led to believe growing up.
It concerns me that they all think they can control him. They think the checks and balances in place will be enough to keep him under control. I fear for our country and our sanity. Strength to you, John
I have been following history for a long time; we are at a perilous place, Weimar 2.0 at warp speed. I feel a bit of pity for those who will experience the full force of the foolish bargain they have entered into. I am old and quite heartbroken with all the ‘what may have been’ I have seen. Thanks for the good words. We need to hear others whose voices are like our own.
I so agree with you- Biden should not have been smiling with Trump like business as usual...this man is going to do real harm to all Americans, excluding his family & friends. Elon Musk makes my skin crawl!! We need to resist and fight for what is right. This election did not change who WE are. Be safe . Thank you John.
I felt exactly the same way on Wednesday, when I watched Trump with Biden. I felt betrayed by Biden, what message does it send not only to us but the rest of the world…like we’re accepting this ass. I, like you John, never accepted or called him my President or ever will.
When President Biden said that his outgoing administration would "accommodate" T.H.E. Rump, I was dumfounded, thinking back on Jan. 6. and all that entailed. Then, I saw the symbolism in front of me: The Roaring Fire. To me, it was a message, one that signified that the citrine carbuncle would burn the White House down, as under Project 2025, he will everything else. He would raze the White House and erect an ugly tower bearing his name; and his supporters, including those in the other two 'houses', would be just fine with it.
I can only imagine that Biden has something up his sleeve and was trying to pretend he does not. One thing that I have always liked about Biden is that he is a bit of a hot head and will blurt things out.He isn't as polished as some politicians and thus has been more relatable.
That is my greatest sadness, that Biden met Trump as an equal😢. Sadness, because I have no energy to try to be angry when it is Biden-who has immunity to do…something. But nothing…😢
I agree completely, President Biden should not have stooped to that level with tfg. He doesn’t deserve to share airspace with a true American president who “upholds and defends” the Constitution like Joe Biden. 💙🇺🇸💙 Thanks for the walk and talk. It’s good to see you outside. The leaves are almost gone. Winter is coming in more ways than one. Stay safe and warm, DRG. 💞
Joe is providing an example to trump that this is how it’s done properly. If course he won’t ever give up when he loses and sick his dogs on us. So this needs to be watched carefully. Biden is a gentleman and he’s retiring. It’s our mess now
@ Thanks for your comment. I’m sure you’re right about Joe taking the high road and leading by example. I suppose there are those viewers of their meeting who might recognize and appreciate Joe’s role modeling, but I’m fairly certain it’s lost (or considered weak) by the orange one. Appreciate your perspective. And I hope Joe has a peaceful retirement while we deal with our “mess”. Enjoy your weekend! 💞
@@SaraShockley I think he was also setting an example to the rest of the world that this is how things are properly done, and sending the message that he is the bigger and better man.
Greetings to "Dirt road Gang"....I Hope that Honest Legal minds stand up to this Madness were seeing , Our checks and Balances work when the law works.. Thanks John for your discussion tonight always feel better after hearing your chat.. God bless 🕊️
I never wished to compare Joe Biden to Neville Chamberlain (UK Prime Minister prior to Churchill). But, the pictures of their meeting at the White House brought the comparison strongly to mind!! Thank you for your sane (and educational) words in a completely insane situation!
Completely agree with you!!., Biden has lost the last shred of his dignity to be sitting by the fire with him. I love Joe, but it is time to retire. Orc
Seems to me that since DT has demonstrated that he has no respect for the "rule of law" in this country, why would he really want to or intend to follow those rules and processes? I expect that he intends to intimidate to the point of getting what he wants. Be damned the consequences.
Carry on John for standing up and advocating for the America that we know and love. We don’t have to acquiesce to the debased version so many are being conditioned about. 👊👊👊
Thank you, John, for your running I mean walking commentaries. I will not fail to listen to you. Keep up your timely talks as you have our democracy as center force.
He cheated to ' win ' again. Last time by paying his affairs hush money, and this time by musk promising money. He deserves no handshake or even the time of day.
Memory is a function of intelligence. I remember Biden building a fine record then dropping the ball on the Trump meeting. I remember Liz Cheney defending democracy and also voting with Trump 93% of the time. Biden criticism: 98; Cheney criticism: 0. Keep screaming for fairness while wondering how we got here.
Mr. Flannery's criticism of Biden for sitting with Trump reminds me of the famous 1939 photograph of Berlin Philharmonic conductor Wilhelm Furtwangler responding to Hitler's Heil gesture after a concert with an outstretched handshake instead of reciprocating the Heil Hitler salute-- a brave act of courteous defiance and resistance which, by Mr. Flannery's implication, President Biden lamentably failed to replicate in his fireside meeting with Trump. Furtwangler's prestige was so great (and Hitler was a classical music lover) that he got away with this dangerous but powerful gesture of passive resistance.
Well said, John. When I saw reports Biden and Trump met ans spent 2 hour together I felt sick and very angry. 30 minutes would me more than enough. What a shame!
How could Joe do 2 hours w/Dump? What for? Dump’s been in the White House before! What did Joe think he needed to speak w/Dump about? What DID he yak about for that length of time? It hurt my heart to see Joe sitting there smiling to Dump.
@jayneneewing2369 cause he's dumb. Playing mice with someone so nasty! It's beyond my comprehension. Joe is one of the major reasons we are where we are today. But what do we expect from this walking corps: ua-cam.com/users/clipUgkxxdZWO1UXrXw-HIkou_RNI9oIsvZWxOxg?si=O6owHosMg63XF_eV
I heard a quote about our elections that says, America always gets what she wants. I’m torn between standing back and letting her get what she asked for (with trump).. and trust that what doesn’t kill us shall make us stronger OR Adamantly opposing trump and feel as you do.. that he will not, nor ever will be my president. One way can be as simple as watching a scary movie OR I can put time and energy into trump. I honestly don’t know how to proceed. ThanksMr Flannery.. see you tomorrow, Thomas Jefferson permitting❤
I’m worried about t taking hold of the military. And it’s my understanding, there isn’t much laws there to prevent him. Yeah, military swears oath to constitution, but that means nothing if he has loyalists in there and no soldier is going to protest and there is always the threat of what they’d do to him if he does.
OUR government is going to be taken over by a bunch of thugs. I can't watch what's going unless I watch u. You make it short and sweet...but I wish it was sweet. Nameste John
I have not turned on Main stream media for two weeks no news no papers no Television. News at all .Going on line to the few folks I trust . And family members who know what they are talking about . ( smart decent people so happy i have them. )
Thanks for again providing clear analysis. I really appreciate the time you spend with us. And regarding that fire--sure was raging! Roaring in disapproval maybe.
I agree with you 100 percent! I am so disgusted and disappointed in Biden inviting the criminal to the white house. It was not necessary to be polite. It WAS necessary to support those of us who are devastated and supported him and Kamala with everything they asked of us. I’m so glad you spoke to that issue. I’m part of the resistance but the resistance needs leaders who STOP enabling the criminal and criminality. Did Biden forget January 6th? We haven’t. I just subscribed and I thank you. Keep well and safe.
About the Trump/Biden meeting, it was distasteful but 1/2 of Americans voted for Trump. For Biden to refust to shake Trump's hand is an insult to them. That is not a good idea. Attack his actions, but being gracious is a win.
I completely agree, sir, about Joe welcoming Dump into the White House, let alone shaking Dump’s nasty little hand and smiling all the while! I was disappointed in Joe, and wondered how he squared that in his mind. Lo, how far we have fallen. Thank you, Mr. Flannery for putting this out there.
More disgusted and terrified than ever for our country. Completely agree with you that Biden should not have met with Trump. He met with a man who could try to arrest him the moment after he (Trump) takes office. The meeting normalized the most horrid person to ever be elected.
I watch every day, and appreciate your talks. I'm so disappointed about people in this country for the hell that's coming. I'm hating l'm a political junkie right now.
“We are sleepwalking into a dictatorship” - Liz Cheney
Unfortunately,You are right 😢
And she helped.
Thank you Liz, you are my hero and I’m a Canadian who has no words for what is happening in your country.
She’s totally correct. Yes, her and her Party put us here, but she’s trying to help save our country now.

I completely agree with you about Biden meeting with Rump. I am disappointed that Biden would treat him with anything but disgust.

OUR government is going to be taken over by a bunch of thugs. I can't watch what's going unless I watch u. You make it short and sweet...but I wish it was sweet. Nameste John
I have not turned on Main stream media for two weeks no news no papers no Television. News at all .Going on line to the few folks I trust . And family members who know what they are talking about . ( smart decent people so happy i have them. )
Thanks for again providing clear analysis. I really appreciate the time you spend with us. And regarding that fire--sure was raging! Roaring in disapproval maybe.
I was thinking, when I watched President Biden shake Trump's
hand, it's like shaking
Hitler's hand.
Or Satan👿
Or shaking the hand of the very devil himself.
You're right; you can't legitimize evil in any way. To do so, you become part of it, and you will lose your integrity.
Precisely.
I agree with you 100 percent! I am so disgusted and disappointed in Biden inviting the criminal to the white house. It was not necessary to be polite. It WAS necessary to support those of us who are devastated and supported him and Kamala with everything they asked of us. I’m so glad you spoke to that issue. I’m part of the resistance but the resistance needs leaders who STOP enabling the criminal and criminality. Did Biden forget January 6th? We haven’t. I just subscribed and I thank you. Keep well and safe.
About the Trump/Biden meeting, it was distasteful but 1/2 of Americans voted for Trump. For Biden to refust to shake Trump's hand is an insult to them. That is not a good idea. Attack his actions, but being gracious is a win.
I completely agree, sir, about Joe welcoming Dump into the White House, let alone shaking Dump’s nasty little hand and smiling all the while! I was disappointed in Joe, and wondered how he squared that in his mind. Lo, how far we have fallen. Thank you, Mr. Flannery for putting this out there.
More disgusted and terrified than ever for our country. Completely agree with you that Biden should not have met with Trump. He met with a man who could try to arrest him the moment after he (Trump) takes office. The meeting normalized the most horrid person to ever be elected.
HEY JOHN! 💯 AGREE WITH YOU! ENJOY YOUR SATURDAY EVENING!🇺🇸⚖️🗽🙏🌏💙
The destroyer of souls, that's a great description.
Thanks. As usual I agree with everything you said.
That's DEPLORABLES...
I watch every day, and appreciate your talks. I'm so disappointed about people in this country for the hell that's coming. I'm hating l'm a political junkie right now.
Thank you for a message of clarity in this time of confusion. You are the kind of patriot we should aspire to be. Keep shining your light!
I agree with you about Biden and trump. He should have never met with him. You said it better than I ever could though.
Thanks, John. I wholeheartedly agree with it all.💙
Thank u for the walk after ur long day!!
I was looking around the room and thinking hell had frozen over when I seen that 🔥
Solid points, John! Totally agree! Thanks for venturing into a breezy Cathedral of Trees to speak to us. Evening greetings to the Gang!
I strongly agree with your position. I don’t want to see President Biden at the inauguration.
Thank you. Now we know just a tiny bit how it feels to live in a country where we can't believe in honesty and justice. I don't like it!!!
Thank you, John.
So good. Thank you John. 🇨🇦
Thank you for all you do.
I totally agree with everything you said. I have always liked Joe Biden, but today I am disgusted with him! Kindest regards to you and Holly.☸️❤️🙏
