Sorry to all Canadians reading this. The majority of Americans hate dump and many regret their vote.

“Many regret their vote” as soon as it directly affects them, otherwise they are okay with Trump and his actions.

9. I wish that I could give you some sources, but

right now it is just antidotal from all the places that I am looking at, the comments, etc., there really doesn't seem to be any real regrets unless it is happening to the MAGA people directly.

I wonder, what could be a 'source' that could validate that point???

No offense taken

Either Amanpour is acting to underscore the drama of this moment for her audience or she is just not paying attention to the political landscape, which is supposed to be HER JOB.

12. I'm not sure. I think she understands. She is nobody's fool. One of the best.

But she works for CNN, and the corporate American media is in the business of normalizing Trump.

I am so happy to hear a sane, informed and articulate voice (the Canadian Minister) after hearing so much both-siderism garbage for all the American corporate media non-stop for a decade. I guess we can call that a silver lining.

But I don't think she is taking this 51st state thing seriously. I don't think trump would try to take it by force. I don't think he'd try to cut t heir usage of the Great Lakes. I don't think she's imaging the lengths trump would go to to annex Canada.

16. Amanpour is much like Maddow, IMHO

Both very smart, but everybody has some big blind spots.

I agree with you that Amanpour (and Jeffries and Schumer and lots of other people) are not taking this nearly seriously enough. They have NEVER taken Trump seriously enough, and that's why we are here, facing the end of our Constitutional government.

10. Why did Amanpour's jaw drop ???

Isn't she aware of what is happening ???

Doesn't she know how serious this is ???

I have heard at least 4 foreign leaders give tremendous speeches scorching trump's actions.

I am glad countries around the world are finally waking up and standing against trump.

The current US government are the bad guys.

I'm rooting against them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lives inside that bullshit bubble where every issue is given the both-sides treatment and every day is another step toward normalizing fascism.

Maybe it did shock C.A. a little bit to hear the rare voice of sanity.
