This 67 year old granny is ready for the fight. I have so much to fight for - the honor of my veteran husband's memory, our children and grandchildren. We will fight with truth, honor and love. I will be joining the rally on January 20th. I have a whistle. I am an election inspector so I will make sure that the election will not be tampered with.

Ditto for me at age 74 who cut his chops in the social and political turmoil of the 60s. I too am an election judge, determined to ensure there won't be any midterm fuckery in our precinct.

Hey, add me to the group. I’m 73 and I echo everything y’all said. (I was an election judge for 34 years, but had to give it up when I broke my hip. I was replaced by a good liberal friend, though, so I’m not worried. ) Just wanted to say Hello and Keep on Fighting!

Same here at 72. I am also starting an voter registration sign-up table at our local university to sign up new, young voters.

I'm at 73, and will also fight to the end to save our country from Dictator Dimwit Don and his gestapo. I don't have any grandchildren, but there's no way I'd leave our future generations to a dictatorship like the Deranged Moron Dimwit Crazy Psycho and his cronies are desperate to establish.

The walkout will be a powerful message. Let’s spread the word, promote it in every way that we can, and make it a statement that will eclipse even No Kings Day.

Absolutely ready to start the rebuilding of our country and our democracy. Absolutely ready to end MAGA and its corruption. Absolutely ready to see the most incompetent group of vial people get theirs. Couldn’t have been done without independent media like yourself and some judges who have followed the actual laws on the books.

A lot of work ahead to fix the damage that has been done by the regime. But there is nothing that hardworking Americans of all backgrounds can’t get done.

I'm ready from Australia Ben. Let's go! Get that orange smear of duck shit out of "your" Whitehouse. Cheers mate 🍻

Thanks for your support, it means more than you know to feel that we are not alone.

The days of letting shit go is over. This is the peoples fuckin movement you work for us

WE THE PEOPLE will prevail. We will never give up!

Thanks Ben for your leadership, honesty and integrity in speaking truth to power.

Your fight is international. If the US succumbs to a corrupt ultra right-wing dictatorship and an alliance with Russia what happens to Europe - where I live - and the rest of the democracies? I am afraid for my grandchildren's future. Keep fighting the good fight, we are with you all the way.

Agree! This message needs to be spread—what happens if Ukraine falls to Russia and Putin keeps going? We can’t let it happen.

Merry's avatar

Putin, like Trump, will not stop until he’s forced to stop. That’s a given. I believe trump and Putin are collaborating and that they will continue to consolidate their efforts and their power. If allowed unhindered. It could get very messy…

Sharon C Storm's avatar

I agree! The felon is, fortunately, not very bright, and does some really ridiculous things that will help us to bring him down. Unfortunately, Miller and Vought are smarter, but they are subject to laws that the felon isn’t because of the SCOTUS immunity decision. I know the felon can pardon them, but they have also broken state laws.

Geri Cochran's avatar

But, he's trying to change the law, because he wants to pardon that Tina woman in Colorado. Because her crime for which she got 11 years, was a state crime, he cannot pardon her until SCOTUS gives him that power, I guess. But this is something his regime is working on: for the president to be able to pardon state crimes as well. :(

Susan Raquel's avatar

I read how he was pressuring/threatening the governor to grant the pardon; but, didn't know he was trying to grab even more power over the states. Not that it surprises me, just that I had not seen any reports about it.

Merry's avatar

“Trump has already issued a "pardon" for Tina Peters, a Colorado official convicted of state crimes related to the 2020 election, an act Colorado officials have publicly stated is invalid. Ms. Peters' lawyers plan to use this "pardon" to file a motion for her release, which will likely trigger a legal challenge that could make its way to the Supreme Court.”

“While the current legal framework prohibits a presidential pardon for state convictions, Trump is expected to initiate legal challenges that would force the Supreme Court to make a definitive ruling on the matter.”

And then there’s THIS DOOZY by Jonathan Turley - “ Yes, Donald Trump Can Pardon Himself, But It Would Be a Disastrous Idea” -

Trump rode into 2025 like he was king of the world and he managed to spend the limited political capital he had in a matter of months - in Trump like fashion he’s managed to fuck up what little faith the independents had in him to fix things along with his entire party. His goons and oligarchs thought they had this shit made but they grossly underestimated the people, and the people are done with his ass along with MAGA “grindr” Mike, “Gym” Jordan and the rest of these freaks… if any of them were smart enough to read a history book they would have seen it coming, lucky for us they are all a bunch of morons. We can’t get complacent though, if anything we gotta continue to build the momentum and break some records come mid terms.

Framob's avatar

Ben can I ask if there is any truth to him trying to make deals with putler already ?

I’m not American but I do have some family I don’t think I’ve spoke to for over a decade through FB which i demolished after finding out were supporters bc I’m a Scot & we just know that type of sob .

trump tried to regurgitate Putin's message, but President Zelinsky held his head high.

Catherine Voight's avatar

Bring it on! Congress has started to reject all things Trump, the courts are ruling against this regime, and yes, Meidas and others bring us facts, figures and the support the people need to denounce all Trump’s objectives. 2026 will finally bring Trump-ism to a halt.

RISE UP!!!! RESIST✊🏽!!!

Deborah Newman's avatar

Trump et al are still forging ahead with Project 2025. They have accomplished 50% of their plans already. So we need to focus on this as well as not letting them deter us from getting justice for the Epstein victims.

Douglas Gilligan's avatar

True, but we need to play offense as well as defense.

Good reporting, individual actions, mass demonstrations sure, but also organized methods of helping people see how terrible Trump really is, in every way, and that if we just do it RIGHT, it is still possible (in early 2027) to impeach AND remove him finally. We also need to build our own Project 2029, because building and fixing our problems is a lot more work than what MAGA has done.

Pam Humphrey's avatar

I like that idea. A lot of minds working together to come up with solutions to the problems Dimwit Donnie will leave and plans to prevent anything like him happening again could be the answer for America’s future.

Lou B's avatar

Yes indeed!!

Michele Larocque's avatar

I am ready. 100%. Won't stop. Can't stop.

Gina's avatar

We are ready!

Athena's avatar

Brit here. Please rid the world of the scourge of Trumpdom which threatens us all everywhere. We need you, America. We're deep in the doo-doo ourselves, but hope you need us, too. We'll try to do better. We're pinning our hopes on you.

Angela Dahm's avatar

Rest assured we need you too! We fight together for democracy in Europe and all countries .

Irene Finn's avatar

Most of us love our allies, we need you, too. Trump needs to be gone. Thank you for your support.

Watchout for that guy, Nigel Faraheg.,(sp?).

Jean Conley's avatar

Not familiar with that guy, but of course if he's a dump supporter, he's a criminal and totally useless.

elliemae.padme66's avatar

He's a Right-wing, British, Nigel Farage. He helped get the Brexit through.

Jean Conley's avatar

Oh! One of my cousins lives in England. She's told me all about Brexit. Need I say more????????? Didn't mention him, however. This was some time ago. As you probably know, we have a LOT of sympathy from across the pond having the Dingbat and his morons in charge.

DBella's avatar

Great morning read Ben. Yes we are ready. Ready to take our country back!
