Alexei Navalny was an extraordinarily courageous man. And now he is dead, undoubtedly murdered by Putin. But as Steve says, it was Donald Trump who encouraged that murder by telling the world that he will in effect, tear up NATO and give Putin a free hand to attack any country he wants to attack, and to murder as many people as he wants to murder.
Trump is a man who will get revenge on all his perceived enemies, a man who says that if he is again POTUS he can assassinate and murder anyone he wishes to murder.
Donald Trump is as sick and evil as Putin, and he is making too many Americans sick and evil too.
He is working hand in hand with his buddy, Putin to make the world an extremely dangerous place.
But now Navalny is tragically gone from this world.
May his courage live on in our minds and hearts, and inspire our courage and determination that Donald Trump will never again be POTUS. Never Again!
Yes you said it like it is as always Steve. Ive been sick all day about Alexei. I do think it's rather ironic though that the Prince of Capitalism got slapped with a $355 million verdict on the same day another man 1000 times more courageous gave his LIFE for the cause of Freedom. There is a tiny bit of a justice in that. Not much. There needs to be a whole lot more. We need to stop this cancerous MAGA movement and Trumpism in it's tracks. And continue to fight for the cause of Freedom around the World. ❤️🇺🇸💙
Putin murders anyone who gets in his way. Just like he is trying to "murder" America, by supporting Trump and sowing division in America. He has learned that he does not need to defeat America on the battlefield, just get Americans to fight against each other and use and support a monster like Trump and he is on his way. Trump and any and all of his supporters need to be defeated everywhere and all the time. They are TRAITORS to America and all America stands for and that needs to be hammered home all the time everywhere!
There is no doubt that Putin had his hand in this murder. The world has lost a man so determined to stand up to his greatest nemesis that it cost him his life. Navalny was not only a brave man, he showed the world that fighting for one’s country often comes with unbearable pain and suffering. I hope there is a country willing to honor his memory with a posthumous award for bravery. There would be no better way to punish Putin for his evil behavior. May Nalvalmy’s soul rest in peace and may his family’s sorrow and outrage be assuaged by the outpouring of affection for a man who showed the world the meaning of courage.
I like the idea of a post-humous Nobel for Navalny. That would also give a middle finger to those idiots who really, really, really want TFG to get the prize, of which he certainly is not deserving.
Steve, as my dad used to say: "Truer words were never spoken". You are the second person, who has a public voice, who spoke about having a WWIII, if trump wins in 2024. It was also stated today, on "Morning Joe", when we woke up to the news about Navalny's death. As you stated, Navalny was and will remain a hero for the cause of democracy! Might I add, that he is also a saint, who will continue to fight and pray for those who are truly for democracy. Maybe Navalny's death will give the Russian people the strength to stand up to Putin, and fight for democracy, as Navalny did.
Unfortunately, we have several members of our congress, who would rather follow Putin's puppet, Trump, rather than fight to keep our democracy safe under the leadership of President Biden! To me, these members of congress, should not be in our Capital, "representing" the citizens of America. Instead, if they love Trump and Putin so much, then ship the all (including Tump, his family, and Tucker Carlson) to Russia and leave them there! let them try to build up their empire, that they just lost today in New York!
As soon as I heard the news of Navalny's death, I emailed President Biden, my representative, and my
senators, to OK the request for money to be sent to Ukraine, to help keep up the fight for democracy in Ukraine. I hope that others reading this will do the same. The Ukrainian people, unlike some members of congress, don't want to be under a dictator's rule. Instead, they look to America and other democratic countries, as examples of how their country can be! They want, and are fighting for, democracy! The same democracy and freedoms that Navalny wanted for his family, and for all of the people of Russia; not just for Putin and the oligarchies in Russia. A democracy that Navalny fought and died for! However, they will not gain freedom and democracy without the help of America!
I wonder how many members of congress would fight and die for our democracy, if Trump wins in 2024?
May God bless Navalny's family and the people of Ukraine and Russia. May the people of both Ukraine and Russia, one day be able to live in a democratic country.
May God bless America and its people. Take the scales off the eyes of those who want a dictator as America's leader; especially those of our political leaders, who took an oath to protect and defend our Constitution and democracy! And if Trump does win in 2024; give us, who love democracy and the freedoms that we often take for granted, the same kind of strength that Navalny had, in order to fight to keep our democracy and our freedoms!
(I apologize to my nonreligious friends; however this note flows from my heart.)
Can you imagine the contempt a guy like Putin must have for entitled frat-boy Tucker Carlson? And on the flip side, can you imagine the adulation Trump must have for a guy like Putin, who summarily disappears his adversaries.
Steve, thank you for this powerful video today. I hope you're taking it easy and feeling better. One thing came to my mind that I haven't seen in any comments: By killing Navalny, maybe Putin is trying to scare Americans away from standing up to Trump? Trump was in two trials today. One judge had a bomb threat. Threats and intimidation are one of Trump's main tactics. Putin and Trump are a team. Putin's future is inextricably intertwined with Trump's future and that of the U.S.A. and Democracy.
It is difficult to think our nation which freed the world of tyranny in the 1940s is heading down a path similar to that which swallowed European and Asian nations for more than a decade.
If there is a "Day One" it is our children who will bear the brunt of this social miscarriage. Whatever short sighted self satisfaction may be felt by Mr Trump's rabid followers will be short lived as they too will join the millions already feeling the effects of our nation's wealth disparity.
Political crackdowns will become the norm, our public educational system gutted and replaced by one that pays homage to our president fo life. Some sects of Christianity, those which agree with their de facto leader will prosper, while others who question him will become outcasts. It is the way of dictators and those who consider themselves kings. I can only trust it is not the way of our citizenry.
Those of us without rocks in our brains should get steeled to the fact that war is coming. Putin and Xi are on the March, and they have 5th Column Traitors in Trump, Johnson, Graham, and many others. Traitors. All of them.
What do you think, if anything, that Putin has on Trump? The only explanation I can think of is that Putin told or showed Trump in that infamous meeting exactly what dirt he had on Trump. Do you think it’s blackmail, or is Trump just plain ignorant. What could possibly be in it for Trump to bow down to Putin?
KGB Putin has plenty on Trump because Trump is a nasty, sloppy, narcissistic, grifting crook who likes young girls. He was part of the Epstein crowd. He likes Russian women. He likes money. He likes secrecy and deception. Putin has plenty!
Classified intelligence. Heck yes. Putin has it all. The waters are deep. IMO
If Putin set traps for Trump over the years, Trump walked right into them.
He's the most loathsome shallow narcissist. Putin's agents have been flattering Donald for decades. He started parroting the talking points in the 1980's.

Putin can murder anyone he wants. It won't be the last. In fact, he is murdering Ukrainians every day.
Thank you for calling it what it is: murder.

Mitch McConnell got his judges, but he never realized he would become a card-carrying member of the Party of Putin in return.
There is no doubt that Putin had his hand in this murder. The world has lost a man so determined to stand up to his greatest nemesis that it cost him his life.

No surprise coward Putin murdered Alexey less than a month before elections. I propose a Nobel Peace prize for Alexey.
As for the MAGA crowd , I don't know what to think other than what Steve said before : " Stupid is as stupid does ".
The Nobel Peace Prize! What a wonderful jester that would be for Navalny's widow and children! Let's hope that that will happen!
I like the idea of a post-humous Nobel for Navalny. That would also give a middle finger to those idiots who really, really, really want TFG to get the prize, of which he certainly is not deserving.

Well said, thank you.
Very well said Donna!! ❤️🇺🇸💙
Great piece. Keep banging that drum!!!
Can you imagine the contempt a guy like Putin must have for entitled frat-boy Tucker Carlson? And on the flip side, can you imagine the adulation Trump must have for a guy like Putin, who summarily disappears his adversaries.
It would be nice if this could sink in with the Maggots, but brains made of rock are impervious.
That adulation will become emulation if Trump returns to the White House.
Steve, thank you for this powerful video today. I hope you're taking it easy and feeling better.

Putin felt emboldened by Tucker, Trump and the Republican Congress. If no accountability in America, why shouldn’t he enjoy it too
This.
Those of us without rocks in our brains should get steeled to the fact that war is coming. Putin and Xi are on the March, and they have 5th Column Traitors in Trump, Johnson, Graham, and many others. Traitors. All of them.
Steve,

Do you think it’s blackmail, or is Trump just plain ignorant. What could possibly be in it for Trump to bow down to Putin?
Nothing of any significance. Donald's THIS loathsome.
I agree he’s loathsome, but I’m not sure that alone explains his fealty to Putin…
KGB Putin has plenty on Trump because Trump is a nasty, sloppy, narcissistic, grifting crook who likes young girls. He was part of the Epstein crowd. He likes Russian women. He likes money. He likes secrecy and deception. Putin has plenty!
Classified intelligence. Heck yes. Putin has it all. The waters are deep. IMO
If Putin set traps for Trump over the years, Trump walked right into them.
Trump: "Money, women, unlimited power? What's not to like?" He wants to BE Putin.
He's the most loathsome shallow narcissist. Putin's agents have been flattering Donald for decades. He started parroting the talking points in the 1980's.
Thanks Steve. The warning indeed!
That is exactly what I was going to write.
