He is the typical Republican, extreme and far right, pedophile maybe. That is the common threads that bind them. I’m from Arizona and Andy Biggs and Paul gosar along with scary Kari are extreme Arizonans. Our outstanding senators and our fierce attorney general and our wonderful Katie Hobbs as governor.

100% they are great. Unfortunately, my east side Tucson representative, Ciscomani, is almost as bad as Biggs and Gosar.

We have a lunatic running the country in to the ground. We lost EVERYTHING we know to be honest, caring, and good...

How did we get here? If you did NOT vote for Kamala Harris you are fully responsible for everything that Trump MAGA GOP dictatorial regime is doing. Period.

I am tired of his demands, his threats, his narcissism, his corruption, his anger, his cruelty. I am tired of the extortion. I am tired of the endless babble of nonsensical word salad. I am tired of the constant lies. I am tired of the attacks on free press. I am tired of the attacks on our democracy and freedom.

Just got my t-shirt which reads "We the People" are PISSED OFF! This one 👇

https://libtees.dashery.com/products/78782439-we-the-people-are-pissed-off-t-shirt

That's how I feel now. This pissed off feeling that doesn't go away is what's going to power "We The People" to save our democracy. We have to resist the fear this administration is trying to inflict upon the citizens of the United States.

Resist! 💪

I was reading a story this week of how Lebanese-Americans in Michigan are being brutalized. What did they think would happen when they voted for Trump over Biden like petulant children who didn't get the lolly flavor they wanted...only the results are life/death.

And then you have places like NC where, thanks to a complicit SCROTUS, have entrenched gerrymandering to the point that the Berger/Moore cabal in the legislature are stripping our governors of all their rights to maintain checks/balances.

He's caused hundreds of millions of Americans to suffer just so the rich can get richer. The greedy can get greedier. How do they sleep at night causing so much harm and devastation?

Now, PLEASE, remind the governor to shout those accomplishments at the top of EVERYONE’s lungs from now until re-election!!! We have got to show our traction in AZ as even more MAGA fools try to get AZ.

Thanks for featuring Gov. Katie Hobbs on your podcast. We support her campaign for reelection, especially given that Magas like Andy Biggs are running for governor. Gov. Hobbs represents many Arizonans who want smart, practical government that focuses on improving the lives of the marginalized.

Ben, thank you for that excellent seminar on effective governance by the masterful Gov Hobbs!

As we begin to formulate the tasks that our 21st Century 'Democratic Constitutional Constituency' will need undertake to restore and, essentially, restructure our system of Federal Government, I think that MeidasTouch has a central role to contribute to that process.

So, perhaps you're already considering forming a group of subject matter experts (of which, I am not one) to serve as the 'Constitutional Congress' of the Constituency.

Among suggestions I have for legislative reformulation of current roles and practices, are the following:

Eliminate Presidential Pardons for anything other than proven false convictions.

Extract the DOJ and FBI from the Executive Branch. It must operate as a Fourth Branch of Government. The AG & FBI Director and their Senior Reports should each have to be approved by a 2/3rds vote of both the House & the Senate. The Supreme Court, not the President, should nominate individuals for those positions.

Supreme Court Justices should be term-limited to 12 years.

Annual Medical Examinations of both the President and Vice President need to be conducted by an Independent Medical Group and ALL Examination and Test Results released publicly.

Tabulation of Votes in all Federal Elections need to be certified by a non-profit, non-partisan group of computational systems security experts. Both Senate and House Oversight of those experts would be required for the development of the budget and approval of funding for that group.

I agree. Elon Musks StarLink uploaded corrupted Election Results in Wisconsin. Trump announced he had won the Wisconsin Election LONG before the results could have conceivably been available. Then 5 Months later the Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate of Elon Musk and Trumps was rejected. Elon Musk offered 2 - 1 Million Dollar Lottery for anyone to Vote for their candidate. Also Elon Musk also offered anyone $100 dollars to Vote for his Candidate…. Wisconsin totally rejected the Trump and Elon Musk candidate . If after only 5 months after Trump supposedly won Wisconsin, how could the Wisconsin Voters totally reject Elon Musks candidate ?

Trump lost his mind many years ago. 🤷‍♂️ why he hasn’t been impeached yet or why the 25th Amendment has been invoked. He’s clearly incapable of running the US at all. 😟 He just keeps doing illegal things over and over again. I wish he would get got on national TV!

We have our "supreme"court majority to thank for giving trump the immunity from anything he does in office. We now have a brain addled "president" completely controlled by unelected, extremists who are implementing their own vile, self serving, christian nationalist agenda.

Yes I know I wish sotomayor could be cloned and take over the Supreme Court. The MAGA 6 needs to just wake up and stop talking Trumps money. He is totally deranged and delusional and needs to be removed from office immediately.

I like this Governor from Arizona. In Wisconsin our Governor Evers has had to fight a Republican Controlled Legislature his entire 2 terms. Governor Evers is not seeking another term and I for one am worried that a Republican candidate might win and take Wisconsin backwards as the Republicans want to do.
