I can't express how much I despise this horrible, corrupt, deranged man and his entire government and supporters. The damage he has caused and will continue to cause is irreversible. The USA has forever been transformed into a criminal dictatorship. I sympathize with all good, humane, honest and empathetic Americans and wish them strength.

I am a Canadian veteran. I’m a disabled veteran. Our veterans affairs cannot give us enough. They are contacting us to give us help. Then we read about you. Poor Americans having to apply for your benefits over and over again on a constant basis being treated like third class citizens benefits, being hacked away. A lot of us Canadians were side-by-side with you, Americans. You have our empathy and our sympathy.
