Ben Meiselas and Michael Popok are back on the top-rated Legal AF podcast to discuss the Trump DOJ’s assault on justice and the mass resignation of career prosecutors in protest. They break down how the courts may respond to any insubordination by Trump and his officials in defying court orders, the early failures of the Trump presidency and its incompatibility with American values, and much more at the intersection of law and politics.
I am worried about the resignations…they absolutely did the right thing BUT does that not make it easier for Frump and his band of criminals to come in and fill those positions with more incompetent maggots
Competent people warning us about Trump and Musk's minions did nothing to save Democracy and this country, the alarm bell was rang in 2016 and they didn't listen, unfortunately. The NY prosecuter that resigned over Trump was appointed and somehow voted for Trump but yet she is somehow a hero for resigning but voted for a convicted criminal...how does that work? I'm so tired of hearing people say that even Trump voters are mad at him. What's even worse are videos of Maga people that say they regret their vote for Trump even though they voted for him multiple times. They and the insurrectionists get more air time than the people that voted for Democracy.
Understood. The wife and I "took the cure;" i.e., we abandoned legacy media in favor of MTN. No regrets--and no going back either!
Same here, Ed.
The coward disappeared I see.
Spamming the Meidas Touch comments? Really?
To me, it's not that there's some great redemption in what they are doing, only that it shows the Felon's regime won't hold. I agree this isn't where all the airtime should go, we need to follow the path of competence & BEST ethics. We each will decide some people don't hold to that enough & aren't trustworthy, but it still has to be about principles. These people are not demonstrating that they are perfectly principled, but they are showing that principles hold, that holding to competence & ethics is what works. It's important that that be reported more than lies.
Many of the people resigning are, and always been, registered Republicans who are known to be very Conservative. Yes, they will be replaced by attorneys willing to bend or break the law. The attorney who has agreed to file the request to cancel the court case volunteered because even more attorneys were ready to resign. He will file the paperwork with the hope that the judge will refuse to accept cancelling the charges.
We don't know that she voted for Trump.. That doesn't mean that her decision has no merit
I surely didn't vote for him.
Your point is what? It is important what they lawyer did. It is fucking more than you have done.
How do we know she voted for Trump? I do understand she is a republican. Can you please cite your source that verifies that she voted for Trump?
The attorney who volunteered to file said he was retiring soon anyway. She’s a member of the Federalist Society and clerked for Anthony Scalia. I doubt she voted for Harris or anyone else.
Why did they have to resign? Why couldn’t they just say no we won’t do it?
resigning is a way to take a principled stand. And, if they refused they would have been fired immediately.
In a normal democracy there would be principled people in the Senate who would choose the citizens & country over party & one man. Senator Dirksen and a group of senators went to Nixon and told him straight up that they weren’t going down with his ship & would throw him overboard if he didn’t resign. Sadly that level of patriotism no longer exists in the GOP.
Disappeared with John McCain.
Thank you!
And that , Mr. Kaufman, is what an honorable person with morals, integrity, and trustworthiness do when it is needed. I am proud to call them United States Citizens.
Then they probably would’ve been fired.
To have control over their actions and not be subject to termination?
Rather than being fired!? Thought that Was explained
Hoping they are reforming on their flank.😒
And rightfully so.
It will be interesting. I had read he had a hard time finding good attorneys in many states to help with the election if needed.
“They” are the ones with the fog - of the worse king - not you.
Why are you posting this here?
You need a full name to be someone
At 73 I got here for information. For 50 years I watched morning news. Not any more thanks to meidastouch. Our place to find folks to unite with.
Amen
Amen!
Ever notice that the only prominent women in the Republican Party are vapid blonde bimbos?
Almost. Don't forget Kimberly Guilfoyle. But take a look at her before and after fotos. She's had some shockingly bad work done for someone whose former "fiancé" could afford better.
Self-esteem needed.
What's on the inside manifests itself on the outside. Fugly.
Well, sometimes. There are some very beautiful men and women who have ugly souls.
No souls aka lost souls.
Yup, exclusively!
If competent and ethical people resign and are replaced with people on a par with the current AG, what hope for “Checks and Balances”?
It exposes the people doing the harm by themselves, with no scapegoats to blame.
Ben, you have no idea what an unethical lawyer Pam Bimbo is! Just the worst!!!
But why did they have to resign? Why couldn’t they just refuse to do what was being asked of them.
Why are you asking same question as earlier. It was answered.
That wasn't nice of you. Be kind.
5. Remember professional ethics. When political leaders set a negative example, professional commitments to just practice become important. It is hard to subvert a rule-of-law state without lawyers, or to hold show trials without judges. Authoritarians need obedient civil servants, and concentration camp directors seek businessmen interested in cheap labor.

20 Lessons on Fighting Tyranny
It was their choice, not the pseudo government’s choice.
Pseudo government indeed
The only hope for "checks and balances" is that lawsuits will continue to be filed fast and furiously against Dump and that federal judges will continue to serve as guardrails. If cases proceed to the SC, it anybody's guess about what will happen.
Donald Trump needs to take a trip to Dallas in a convertible
I was thinking that too. OMG 😆
I would never actually advocate violence.
Now, now. 😄
Did you know there were over 46 attempts to get Hitler "out of office" ? That's persistence!
@ Daniel Jacobs ... "You ain't nevuh lied!"
She’s a GOP witch and a Trumpler tool.
His cabinet picks a clear reflection of his singular rule over America. No one to check power!
Patience
@ Phyllis, I hear you, however, mine is on backorder.
Afterthought: If Christopher Wray had stepped it up we would be rid of Dumpty. Wray slow-walked, slow-crawled, and delayed putting his fat butt in the hot seat. Had that not been the case Trump would be in prison.
Yup. He'd better get his PSA checked.
Bondi is an incompetent moron
Perhaps, but that's irrelevant. She's blond!
Indeed… I would hate to play the game RANK THE CABINET SECRETARY.
MAGA Congress, what have they done? They’re submitting a new budget that adds $4T to national debt. How outrageous; further gutting the middle for the elites.
Democrats will REFUSE to raise the debt limit, and Trump is screwed! Musk realized he would have all his billion dollar contracts cancelled for cause, so he spent $300M to rig the election, knowing Trump would shut down investigations of his wrongdoing! Corruption at its worst! Musk must go! Fine him for his corrupt practices!
We’re going to get them at some point. They’re asking for it.
Just hope we don’t crash before their day of reckoning.
The MAGA morons are giving their assassin bullets.
It’s extortion in front of the whole world.
But we got plastic straws back🤦🏻♀️. The poor sea turtles
Don’t forget the Gulf of America. Quite the accomplishments.
That was bigger than the Superbowl. Many people said…
People who value themselves and their integrity will not work under this lying disgusting lawless baffoon who's in the White House.
Or people who value themselves and their integrity will work under this lying disgusting lawless b[u]ffoon who's in the White House to try to change things where they think they can be most effective. I'd rather have someone in the WH trying to change things than someone sitting on their couch congratulating themselves for giving up their iPhone.
Keep up the great work!
Two effin fools on a couch.
American grifter in chief.
Corrupter in chief
The USA will just have thousands of idiots who no nothing about there jobs in the future. Will take decades to undo what this guy with the orange face has accomplished. The dumbing down of our society.
I flat do not understand how they are getting away with doing these things. I am 65yrs old and I can not understand why he was not stopped from even running no less then being elected. I am sick over all of this crap.
Pam Bondi is corrupt, just like Trump. She needs to be disbarred.
Absolutely corrupt incompetent person Pam Bondi no professional
Which countries are accepting freedom-loving American immigrants..?
I wish they wouldn’t resign I wish they would stay there and fight back
They would be fired from what I understand.
They wouldn't be allowed to stay because they would fight back.
It’s either that or ruin any future career they might have where integrity, morality and a sense of legal responsibility are key attributes of the job. In other words they are counting on better days ahead.
Wishful thinking king. Higher powers will overrule. World waiting.
They would have been fired
I think they're resigning rather than participate in something that gets them disbarred. Meaning, they think there's a country remaining after this. That's a bit encouraging.
Make sure to read Jim Acosta’s post today about AP’s losing its right to have a reporter in press briefings and on Air Force 1 because they refuse to call Gulf of Mexico ( 400 years that way) Gulf of American. Rump et Al says it was “ legally” changed. By what law I ask???? How dare pompous , jackass , JD lecture Germany and others about Freedom of Speech!!!!
Pam Bondi portrays herself as a total idiot.
I’d really like to see the notes she was reading from… she acted like there was literally only one word per page
All these gains are illegal and need to be returned with interest and fines. Our legal system will be restored along with justice. I am hoping.
Heartbreaking that we even have these catastrophic cases. The families are in good hands with Popok; congratulations on pursuing your calling.
This is a mess. She is completely incompetent. She would have failed my clas, period.
*class
In this corrupt presidency, we’ll next see
P Diddy and Menendez released.
The outrage… Criminals run free, while I innocents are attacked - unfortunately some won’t survive.
The only "breaking news" I want to hear about Trump is that he is dead!
But whose protecting us from the DOJ?
She is one dumb blondie is Bondi
I’m subscribed to legal af!👍🏽
Keep it up, Meidas Mighty. How about encouraging Democratic congressmen to put forth bills that Trump said he would but hasn’t. Like no taxes on tips or Social Security payments. They couldn’t vote them down. They will, however take credit for them happening in Trump’s administration. I say, make it loud and public that Democrats proposed it and GET SOME STUFF DONE!
She's protecting Trump PERIOD! Also trying to change history. Every person in place are trump yes me (women)
It doesn't matter if he loses in court because Trump is ignoring the rule of law, and now, ALL the honest, truth-telling, ethical judges and lawyers are leaving our once-was US government. Where does that leave us, We the People? No one left to defend us any more. (The SCOTUS sure won't.)
On another note: I don't think Trump etal have their eyes just on American Democracy. I think Trump, etal, have their eyes on All World Democracies. Crash our economy (nothing will be spent if nothing goes in) (and soon, no FDIC), then change the USDollar to crypto, which will then be the global standard (as the USDollar is now). Funnel all our secrets to Putin (and other totalitarianist/ authoritarian governments) via Gabbard. Insert Patel as head of our safety net ('homeland' terrorist groups will take care of us citizens AND God please help undercover agents working overseas). USAID is gone (insert China) AND (God please help current USAID workers overseas. Were I one of them, I would quietly disappear). Trump controls our military (the most powerful on this planet. etc etc. AND, Voila--Trump etal takeover this planet. So, and in my opinion, We the People are not just fighting for this Democracy, we are fighting for our world.
BTW, Trump is just the figurehead now because they know MAGAs adore him. He's addled. He has dimentia. They tell him what to do. He's mostly not even in there anymore.
Great podcast!
Can you believe what it's like for those of us who were born during WWII? We lived in fear of Russia and then China -- Now, we have The Trump love affair as our government's policy toward our enemies.
What you just described about Eric and Don Junior sounds exactly like what was said happened concerning Hunter. Am I wrong?
I'm really hoping that once it gets to the Supreme Court, the lawyers fighting against Trump lean on the argument that while they gave the man complete immunity, they didn't give the office complete immunity.
Ben and the entire MeidasTouch family. I hv been a subscriber for as long as I can. I'm on SSDI due to injuries that happened while contracting overseas. I am no longer guaranteed a check to expenses are cut including my small donation. I will always follow MT and all the Meidas Mighty family on YT!! Please keep up the amazing work as America needs you all more than ever!!!
I agree completely.
I’m also afraid that my regular SSI is not going to come.
Terrified might be a better word.
Thanks Guys!! She is so stupid!!
Why would anyone say that Danielle Sassoon is stupid?
I’m asking an actual question.
Pam Bondi took a bribe from Trump when his Trump University was sued.
I'm not sure if this helps but it gives me at least a little bit of hope. I never knew thatn one of my cousins has a friend that is a US Marshal. She asked him about something that I think most of us are questioning regarding how a court order from a federal judge is enforced when it is blatantly ignored. He said that although he couldn't speak for everybody, they are bound by the law to execute and enforce a federal judge's order, unless the DOJ provides a valid reason, under the law, not to. Again he said he can't speak for everybody, but because they take their responsibility seriously, their duty would not be to an unlawful order from the DOJ; it would be to the federal judge who had the power to also hold them accountable for not executing a federal court order, as the consequences could be severe.
However, I think we all know by now how unpredictable every day seems to be, but due to the recent events involving the resignations of so many prosecutors, that sliver of Hope is where I choose to hang my hat today. Having hope just feels better!
I love Popac!! He makes it oh so clear and kudos to all the brave prosecutors who have refused to break the law!!
pretty bad that she could not be bothered to pre-read the printout. How pathetic and what an insult on her law degree.
Who is writing Pete Hegseth's speeches? Wow. The ignorance runs deeps.
Happy Sunday MTN fam 🌞
No weapon formed against us (meaning from Chump and the rest of his crooks) will prosper. We will overcome. IJN, Amen
Bondi is an idiot and needs to be disbarred.
The Supreme Court better get their shit together.
We have had a front-row seat to Trump's narcissistic personality disorder for decades. He's a snake. Snakes can't fly.
Just play that clip of Adam's on Fox over & over again nationally proving he took a sweet illegal deal!!!
So, MAGA-heads & others who voted for the fascism ticket... What are you actually going to DO about it? Might you join The New Resistance? 💙
Thank you!
Can Popok talk?
That Indian reporter(?) was so grossly sycophantic, she would do well on Faux News.
Now he can blame the judges and tell his base that he tried...
He will pardon musk so he can't be brought up on charges
Next is he going to fire the Supreme Court Justice's?
Trump new lawsuits 68 case against him must very hard hurts him slap him in his face under high nuclear crime Terror charges and torched the American people for their freedom take away their jobs civil rights no tax and tips social security our country is praise democracy about 250 years we are a ultimate power of different cultures a melting pot Trump will destroy what he has never have jealousy about lucky people they will life their American dream 💙🗽
I’m just saying stop Donald Trump maniac narcissist criminal permanently he damaged our democracy destroy people our country with his other narcissistic friends Elon Musk nobody need his billions of dollars is blood money
Those who want to steal from their country, gets fired and sued
Nobody in America of a healthy mentality can will support fascist sick person Donald Trump or JD Vance fascist group
Trump will lost his not legal presidential again in 25 days he is in office at this short time each day a new order of justice against him he is a narcissist and absurd person for a president of the United States of America
Following the money is where more clarity lives, IMHO, and tax cuts being the desired outcome for the billionaires, while breaking systems that can't be recovered so as to be able to say "government is broken" and then replace it with unchecked privatization as the solution. We have to hold firm on not allowing this budget to get through until after mid term elections.
Breaking News, TRUMPT TO HAVE PEACE TALKS IN SAUDI ARABIA AND EXCLUDING EUROPE.
BEN, Europeans are holding emergency meetings tomorrow to address this current piece of crap from TRUMP.
This conversation today is the best I've seen posted regarding trump's fiasco presidency. I learned so much from Ben and Michael. Thank you both so much. It's educational and honest.
Blondie is so embarrassing, both as a lawyer (not least by confusing "charges" with "civil suits") and as a human being (everything she says & does).
Appreciate your efforts! I’m with you. Link up America and stop the REAL steal!
What does AF mean in Legal AF?
Nobody can trust in this corrupt Trump Mafia organizations their lawyer are all corrupt people lies to the judges or violating the constitution of law
It does not make any difference whom he hires. He is running out of indebtured servants. This is America, In spite of what you might hear we have a history of when puch comes to shove doing the right thing. Election 2024 is exception
I am seeing it
Also: Can we deputized vetted military police temporarily ( as an example) to go in and drag Musk and the Musk Rats out of the treasury??!!! It is the MOST important piece of this in my mind.
thanks for your great work
There is intelligent life on the right, indicated by their exodus from the Republican cabinet.
This is insane
He won't obey court orders anyway
..he's the king..remember ?
Michael You Raised A Good Question !! For Me !!??? 🤔🤔 Besides The Trillion's That Trump Is Going To Cost Us !!??? How Much Are These 69 + Law Suits !! Going To Cost The US Tax Payer's !! Along With All The High Money !!? Trump Is Spending Saving Us Low Money !!? On Department's With No Fraud !!? Or Corruption !!?? I've Been Telling People It Will Take 25 Years !!?? To Fix This Mess !!? 😔 Maybe I'm Wrong !!? Maybe It Will Take A Lifetime !!?? 🤔🤔🤔 !!?
Boycott all non essential U.S. goods from corporations that are complicit. Especially on February 28 (especially from midnight the 27th to midnight the 28th).
Voice your concern by voting with your dollar that’s the only way this mayhem can be controlled.
No amount of funding or dollars or donations or gifts or anything can compete against Elon Musk and his trillions. Boots on the ground vote with your dollar.
Go grassroots
Yes. We are less than fleas to them. We're just collateral damage.
Personally, I think musk is the ventriloquist, with his hand up Trump's..um...backside.
Our DOJ is a joke!! But also dangerous as are the rest of his nominations!! I’ve never been this worried in my life! MAGA are just ignorant racist & they are to blame for all this chaos!!
Trump is a pathetic weak narcissist!!
JD Vance is just a huge EMBARRASSMENT!!
Can we file a class action suit the stress of having Elon Musk rifling through our personal information without having a specific status? I see he is now breaching social security? This doesn’t feel right and it’s stressing me out.
Shame on everyone who did not vote because you were mad a Biden, or worse, couldn't bring yourself to vote for a woman.
Since Trump is above the law, why does it matter that he loses in court? Why doesn't someone have a real plan with real action to tie his hands up from doing more damage to the USA.
Well, to be fair, if you don't get Social Security anymore you won't pay any taxes on them...
Can we start a class action lawsuit against Elon Musk and DOGE for stealing our personal information?
I'm wondering if when DT posted that - He who saves his country does not break any law - if that statement will be read by his followers and they might be emboldened to act with violencia justifying their actions in the same way.
Notsees are marching in Ohio.
💯 they will. They already are. A transgender person was held captive and tortured for weeks & when they died his capturers dumped his body in NY.
Love your passion.
Impeach the rapist felon and fire the Nazi misogynist. enough.
I'm sorry I'm trying not to laugh at how much Trump is screwing his own voters!
How can the Supreme Court handle all these cases?
What the hell does him losing in court have to do with anything? He says, fuck you to the courts with the rest of the GOP. What have we done to stop one fucking law that they have broke? The answer is whine and bitch about it. It is time to get in the gutter with these mother fuckers.
Pam Bondi a MAGA hoe. Has been a Republican and Trump hoe for many years.
Read about her dismal past…… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pam_Bondi
Meidas Touch Network is not enough We need to reach more people to mimic what the Right wing Sinclair radio network has done to reach more people through radio communication A lot of people listen to the radio commuting etc
None of this matters unless SCOTUS holds. If SCOTUS backs Trump, that's the end. The first case is there now, and the ruling will be pivotal. If they let Trump's administration do what they want, there will be no stopping him.
She sucks
These press conferences are stupid and pointless.
Gee, all those fired (& perhaps rehired, soon-ish) NUCLEAR experts at the National NUCLEAR SECURITY Administration just might know a thing or two about safeguarding our NUCLEAR arsenal. Who could have detected any kind of clue about that, & where, & how...?
The new administration will have to fix so much stuff up and change some things back it wont be easy.
Danielle Sassoon is honest and awesome! As are the others who followed her lead.
They will never get anybody to work there. The people who resigned were dead blood MAGA advocates
Hi, you have tons of followers, so awesome. You're doing an amazing job!!
I have an idea and I think it's a good one to protest Musk doing what he's doing. My hope would be that if you agreed you'd share and encourage others to follow suit.
Let me know if you get this comment.
Thanks!
Jenny
Regarding the fired, IG’s: why are they not staying in their positions, pending the suits for unlawful termination? Is that not the way due process should work? They certainly have every right to be there!
In competent and vile.
@Ben - we need these people to NOT resign and instead insist on staying out and thwarting their ‘masters’. Because if they all resign, then they’re replaced by incompetent and complicit fools. Isn’t that more dangerous?
I've about had it with DJT. He's worse than a spoiled brat. Always craving attention. Enough is enough already. Put him to bed with his teddy.
While disturbing news I’d love everyone to hear it. The fast speaking lingo is hard to keep up with. Can you slow down just a little. It’s one thing to hear a core dump of info and a little time to assimilate the information.
I realize that the information in this podcast is important, but the only thing I kept wondering about is where is Popok? That’s a different background.
I like Micael Popok's shirt, it's cool 😎😎😎😎
I like Michael Popok's shirt so cool.😎😎😎😎
Dear Ben, I love your politics but your vocal delivery drives me crazy with your exaggerated "thees" and "AAs" and weird emphasis. Try a more natural speaking tone, like Popock please. I can't watch. I'll read it instead.
Seriously? The rest of us don't all love it. You likely have narcissistic tendencies that make you think you speak for everyone.
Your name suits you, Dick.
Narcissistic is going after someone for their tone and telling them to change it. Narcissistic because I find it flagrantly rude to say something like this publicly instead of mentioning it privately? You can kindly fuck right off.
Popok’s has analyzed this perfectly. Share this clip widely. This is Government by Theft. They are stealing from us, the public, to enrich themselves. Criminality, corruption, contempt, conspiracy… that’s what the Trump regime is all about. Band together everyone, and fight back!!!
And Musk is a Nazi and a South African racist pro Apartheid. These policies are being introduced.
Thank you for keeping me sane. I so need to hear voices of reason. Amen!!! Keep up the good work.
Amen, Popok, about your comments regarding Russia being thrilled that Trump and Vance are doing Russia's work for them. I, too, am of an age where this is absolutely unprecedented. If you grew up during the Cold War era, you would never in a million years expect Russia to be celebrating a speech by the American VP because it plays right into their hands.
she looks like she came from the..... H house Bleached... no not the white house....
Emoluments……‼️
Who knows if these DOGE bros aren't up to something subversive.
Beauty an inside thing.
Why did Popok move to Florida? I find that very odd.
A lot of MAGA don’t understand the way executive orders work. Maybe the US needs a civics lesson.
Do we have a case regarding DOGE actions at the IRS (per Under 26 U.S.C. §7213A unauthorized access of taxpayer records is punishable by fines & imprisonment. Unauthorized disclosure of taxpayer info is a felony (26 U.S.C.§7213), w penalties of fines & 5 yrs in prison. Taxpayers can seek civil damages (26 U.S.C. §7431) if their info is unlawfully accessed)
THE MORE THEY WALK OUT THE BETTER,THAT LEAVES THE PATHETIC`S LEFT TO BE OUT OF THE DEPTH WHO WILL GET EATEN ALIVE IN FRONT OF JUDGES
You shouldn't have skipped school. You can't even make a sentence that actually means something.
The barrage of self-promotion is understandable and maybe even necessary but sometimes I wonder if we're building a Pro-Democracy movement or promoting media careers and private law firms.
I like the FO phase the red states are feeling. Hoping the midterms will bring major changes.
I like the fact
If you check the photos of the Inauguration you will see that Trump deliberately does NOT have his hand on the bible. First time for a president ever. And now, we can understand why.
And Congress does absolutely nothing???says absolutely nothing????Who will save America?????
I'm wondering if a HUGE "Letters to the Editors" campaign to various "big" mainstream press such as NYTimes, etc might help put some pressure on them to actually REPORT more truthfully and describe what is happening more accurately. For example, call what we're witnessing a COUP!!! Imagine if MSM spoke out MORE, the effect that could have? Letters to CNN as well, or whatever TV stations accept letters.
One day voting is a joke - the country is far too large these days. And what exactly does the new fascist regime declare qualifies as voter id - that's another trumpian hiccup!
Love your podcast. Thank you!
Let's do this! Contribute now, please. As one of my friends said “Let the real work begin”!
First Installment: My Traffic Solutions as NYC Mayor As your mayoral candidate, I'm Mike Pelinkovic, and I'm dedicated to transforming NYC's traffic crisis. While our current mayor remains inactive, I'm proposing eight concrete solutions to get our city moving again.

🖐️QUESTION: is there a transcript for these episodes? I’d love to see a top 1, 2, or 3 action list for each episode included. Best would be from you—a shareable notecard. Meanwhile, a transcript would help me comb back through after listening to grab the most urgent shareable talk points or actions to push out through my Indivisible and other groups. For instance, from this episode, I’ll bullet point the $200M (and Michael’s itemization of that) the Trump grifters have pillaged so far, Elon’s $250B gain paired with APNews itemization of public subsidies to Musk, and Popock’s main points that demonstrate the illegality of the Eric Adams extortion BS. We need to carry pocket (phone) notes for quick responses when talking to people who, as you say, could conceivably drop the scales from their eyes. I’m an attorney (retired). Alas, my young attorney’s memory has been usurped by a rabidly democratic but forgetful grandma. Flashcards on the go help many of us not fumble the pass. (Seriously, even the young attorney or non-attorney brains are overwhelmed now). Thanks for providing a news outlet to fill the void.
Don't worry we have a system of checks and balances. What? We did? I didn't get the memo. My bad!
Olis do not think non olis are human. They worship wealth and believe they earned everything they have. Why do non oli people vote against their interests and vote to bring misery and death to their children and grandchildren? Because 1. people working harder for less don’t have time to gather facts, even those who want to; 2. a win at all costs (or look like a winner) mentality is instilled in the culture from toddlerhood; 3. Right wingers have increasingly diluted the quality of public education; 4. some are just plain ol fascists, racists, misogynists, transphobic, pick your ist or ic (ick).

This summary of Trump might be interesting
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18aMYn9Uu5/
I totally love you guys and I know we have a lunatic for President
Agree with you, Ben. These caes will go to the supreme court. Curious.....
Will the attorney’s that signed the order to rescind the charges face ethics violations from the bar?

She's so full of it! Everyone will find out.
She's awful! What a disgrace!
Love your analysis, but please Ben, stop rambling so much with the detailed minutia that we already know. You are taking up too much airtime in what we expect to be equal reporting between both of you. I have read comments elsewhere from other people who have said they stopped watching your reporting because you are too wordy. I would hate to see your network lose viewers because of your enthusiasm to give us details. Michael Popok has a better delivery in this regard. Thanks for all you do!
Now they are leaving it open for puppets to be hired. 🫤 Does that track?
Hmm...I subscribed to Meidas. I've been reading it instead of watching the videos. Now I just logged in, clicked on the video and I got no sound. I checked my laptop. My computer isn't muted. I didn't mute the video either. What's going on?
Thanks, Sandra Blessman. DJT really deserves a time out don't ya think? At least that!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
https://www.nationalreview.com/bench-memos/the-justice-department-takes-a-welcome-stand-against-humphreys-executor/ can you talk about the likelihood of humphreys executor being overturned?
Sorry you wasted your money Michael.
I tried to subscribe, "But something went terribly wrong" is said. What's with that?

Actually We're Glad to See them go...our Opposition Supports Joe/KMala whose method is to HELP the working class by increasing their taxes so she can handout cash to the “poor” who don’t have jobs because businesses went overseas in the wake of higher taxes that mean businesses can’t pay as much wages and their prices have to go up because they “HAVE” to pay higher wages.
