🤞🏼 I love the idea of the 45-47 Presidential Library in a blue city!

Peggy Raines's avatar

Why build one when he can't read anyway.

Carol's avatar

He needs a place to park his Qatar airplane gift. (grift)

Virtuous Lady's avatar

Djudas need to repent, get baptised, and live it, as well as his minons, then sell the plane and help the less fortunate. He cares for only criminals and himself.

Thomas Thompson's avatar

He plans to paint "TRUMP" on the side of that whale and use it like a taxi!

Sylvia Arrowood's avatar

You know it's probably going to fall apart at some point.

Sarah Hearn-vonFoerster's avatar

I do not really think he will be keeping anything when he departs from our White House. , although I doubt he will be aware by then. No criminal may profit from his activities.

Margaret's avatar

😂 😂 😂

Christina C's avatar

I like the idea, but I doubt we'd be able to be sure to include actual facts rather than these conspiracies this administration is living in!

we could have a people's library about 45 & 47, maybe right next door, where it tells you of everything he/they tried to remove from our history because some rich old white people are sad because things are too honest/woke - and it's hurting their kids feelings!

Elle's avatar

No library for him, nothing for him.

Sarah Hearn-vonFoerster's avatar

I agree...Felon-Trump deserves no recognition for 2 administrations of smoke and mirrors, theft, graft, and corruption...probably murder.

Ann M.Halvorson's avatar

Sure, a library for the illiterate. I see folks putting sardines amongst the picture books he'll have, plugging toilets, pissing in corners. I'm ok with that.🤣

Ron Bailey's avatar

What a dumb ass comment!

Elle's avatar

I hope you are correct and they do not find a way to rig that election.

Sarah Hearn-vonFoerster's avatar

MAGAS, you mean, of course..

Mike Hammer's avatar

Trump wants peace like Hitler wanted peace. A piece of Canada, a piece of Venezuela ….

maZ's avatar

And anything under 18.

Suel J's avatar

Makes me sick. And filled with rage

Virtuous Lady's avatar

lies, deceit, hate, all sorts of evil, and pooping in his diaper...so sad. This is why I call him Djudas-he betrayed the American people.

Annika Irving's avatar

Or anything over 11 🤮🤮🤮

maZ's avatar

Yuuuuup…let’s not him get away with it!!! Resign, Impeach, Remove…just Go!

Shaba's avatar

Don’t forget Greenland and Ivanka.

maZ's avatar

OMG! Actually watching several of dt’s previous tv spots …w/ivanka…thru newly informed eyes, we can view it knowing the recent ‘Barron’ issues and his parentage. I really don’t know what it’s gonna take to get dt gone from DC. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Linda's avatar

If we can get as many Dems into Congress is our best defense against Trump…He won’t be able to pass anything….

Leah Baum's avatar

Don’t forget Panama.

Stephen Basile's avatar

Don't forget Karoline "machine gun lips" Leavitt.

Steve's avatar

The pentagon made a brunette version of her their press secretary.

teresafbrooks's avatar

And not to be outdone, HHS will have redheaded twins who contradict each other from the podium

Virtuous Lady's avatar

Karosense lying Leavitt...lol

Catlady's avatar

Karolying Level it

LynseyFS's avatar

So gross ... just another 🍊"ewww" moment from The Short-fingered Vulgarian

Penny A Hachey's avatar

Hi Mike! I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your profoundly truthful insight on Trump. You summed up that bastard in such a spot on, as well as, consice comment!! I loved it, so thank you!!

Mike Hammer's avatar

Hey Penny! Just trying to get by with laughter, anything to lighten things up. 😊

Donna R.'s avatar

Monroe doctrine. They want the entire western hemisphere.

Virtuous Lady's avatar

lolololol...this is a good one and so true....lololol

Pat Robinson's avatar

Don't forget he's supported by almost the entire GOP.

Sue Stjohn's avatar

And controlled by The Heritage Foundation!

Virtuous Lady's avatar

The s-court/scotus and most companies too. Even yt supports him.

StebbinsGirl's avatar

More like they are afraid of the 🍊💩🤡 for whatever reason! 🤦‍♀️

Virtuous Lady's avatar

The toddler Djudas makes death threats is why.

Linda's avatar

Just like a Mafia Boss…

Pat Robinson's avatar

I think they just use being afraid as an excuse to cover up the fact that they are just as cruel and bad as he is. If they are indeed receiving death threats, they can show some courage, report them hire their own security and call out the trump supporters who are making the threats and then resign if they just don't have the spine to pass legislation that does not support trump's corruption and cruelty. Iin talking about health care they only say if they don't pass something they will take a beating in November...not a one says goodness if we don't pass something my constituents will have to go without insurance...they do not care at all about their constituents. I think those who say they will retire just have such big egos that they don't want to get beaten in an election and that's the only reason.

Donna R.'s avatar

Thank you! Well said. Do something about your death threats! Band together, make them public, report them to the FBI. Bring it into the light of day and force the FBI to reveal the truth. 😡

Pat Robinson's avatar

Yeah, why don't they do something, make these threats public.....as I said it just seems like an easy way out for them.

Marie Pisula's avatar

Keep doing what you are doing Ben. I hadn’t seen anyone one reporter or journalist ask him to name those wars!!! I should have known it would be you who would actually give us the full details. Thank you for all you do!

Pat Robinson's avatar

And when he rattles off the wars he's stopped not one reporter fact checks him, not to he face and not when doing a story on it.

Susan Raquel's avatar

I had to laugh when it was pointed out that one of the wars he stopped were between countries that were a thousand miles apart. If I am remembering it "right" he got the name of one of the countries "wrong".

Pat Robinson's avatar

And yet all the mainstream media let him slide on this. None called him out. Let's do all we can to help their viewership continue to decline.

Linda's avatar

Like to see CNN reveal his lies consistently like they did before….

Pat Robinson's avatar

Does anyone in the GOP Congress watch any of this? If so, how do they continue to worship and adore trump???? Do they just love a liar so much they are fine with it??? Do they not believe what CNN and every other reliable news source through out the world says????

Susan Raquel's avatar

Is this the straw that breaks the camel's back? I think that it is not. Questions probably asked: What is the return on the investment? Is it worth the risk? Will it accomplish anything? Of all the lies that trump tells where does this one sit?

I suspect that is considered to be pretty minor compared to Epstein, the Abrego/ICE issues, etc.

Maybe the best that they feel they can do is to quit. If 20 of them actually leave that opens the door for them to possibly be replaced by Democrats. If that happens then Congress can resume working. As it stands right now no useful, positive progress is being made.

If you were a Republican Congress person who could you trust?

Do you want to go through what MTG (like her or not) is dealing with?

So, to answer your question I think Congress watches this and outwardly do as you say, profess to worship and adore trump, not because they are fine with it; but, out of self preservation.

BF's avatar

Dear Ben,

Perhaps you might consider suggesting to Trump & Fox that they should apologize to the families of the two humans whom they vaporized after watching them, for more than 40 minutes, struggle not to drown.

Other than that, tell them to ESAD.

Calamity Jane's avatar

I am familar with that ESAD haven't heard ayone else mention it.

Andrew Waters's avatar

Gulp... I had to look it up. Showing age my age!

Debbie Dean's avatar

I know it - I just never made alphabet soup out if it😜

BF's avatar

My request that I hope you will support, Ben.

To the 47 Members of the Democratic Caucus, US Senate I ask that YOU:

Visualize the 47 Minutes of Video of two humans struggling not to drown and, at the FINAL MOMENT OF THEIR LIFE being vaporized.

Visualize 47 Separate photos, one from each minute.

Visualize each of you holding the image of 1 of those LAST 47 MINUTES of those two humans’ lives.

Each of you are seated at your desk.

One of you - Every Minute for 47 Minutes - Stands and holds your photo for CSPAN to broadcast & record.

Do you have the Courage to Apologize, on behalf of ALL Americans, to the Families of the 2 humans MURDERED by the United States of America?

If so, you may make a difference beyond anything you’ve ever accomplished.

Thank you

Hendrik Gideonse's avatar

Score TWO!!

{Edited comment: I apologize for this impetuous post which could be misinterpreted as flip, or even disrespectful of the two human lives or the nine preceding them. I meant only to convey my heartfelt endorsement of BF's proposed exercise.}

Edward McLoughlin's avatar

Dont every apologize for speaking the truth

Virtuous Lady's avatar

Edward McLoughlin----AMEN>>>I sure want, not even about the Bible.

Penny A Hachey's avatar

I'm with Edward. NEVER apologize for being truthful. Trump and his adoring cult, formerly known as the Republican Party, are trying to make truth a distasteful, neurotic trait. Actually (IMO) it's a 'grown-up, sane' thing. Obviously with a group of pre-K mental level toddlers occupying the white house, we now have the responsibility of countering the childish fantasies of the Regime with actual American grit and loyalty, which means being the adults, and telling the TRUTH.

I couldn't take this bullshit without all of you here on Substack! I love this community ❤️!!

Noly Garland's avatar

Sorry…NOT sorry!

Let’s go MeidasMighty!

He can apologize politely…to all the women reporters he has been insulting.

He can apologize to all the people he has made fun of, all the childish name calling over the years.

Yea..thought so.

maZ's avatar

And don’t forget the fool he has made of America…in the eyes of the ENTIRE world. Don’t EVER forget that dt (lower case intended) is working right out of hitler’s playbook…watch how he repeats things 3 times, how he selected a specific group to brutalize, how he goes from one mess to the next (creating chaos) making sure we stay distracted and hoping we will get tired or just throw in the towel.

NO! Not this time! NEVER FORGET … especially since it’s being playing out AGAIN!

Stay Engaged.

Stay Informed.

Stay Strong.

We’ve got this!

Hendrik Gideonse's avatar

If you want to see the fool he's made of America read the NSS document on internatioanl relations that he posted Friday (you know that 'bury the lead day'!!) I did and it negates every thing we have meant to the rest of the world for the last eighty years. Directly and simply put, It is a traitorous document.It is also self aggrandizng and conceited (trumpetting all the wars DJT has ended!!!)It tosses, NATO, turns oyr embassies into intelligence operations for American businesses, divides the world into spheres of influence, has undoubtedly made Putin insanely happy, . . . it made me feel like, as an American, I should step out into my woods and puke. Whoever wrote ft needs to pay deep penance to the Nation.

Pat Robinson's avatar

This should be pointed out to the GOP Congress members who will then say they haven't read it, never heard of it or some other excuse to cover up that they support it.

Donna R.'s avatar

I saw a very good revealing video on YouTube. I'd attach a link but don't know how. Narrator is Ben Norton. GE, Geopolitical Economy Report. It's titled "This is Trump's new plan for U.S. global dominance." Very straight forward and puts the pieces of the puzzle together. It's 1 hour long. Enlightening! Air date 12/7/25.

Connie Larsen's avatar

Can’t wait to see the Epstein names!

maZ's avatar

Honestly Connie, I just want his but if any of the players he put into office are in there…whoa…all the better.

Marcia Fierro's avatar

Trump is absolutely a RUSSIAN asset! PERIOD!

maZ's avatar

Putin has something in him…for sure…the emails are VERY informative.

Sue Stjohn's avatar

He owes Russia lots of money!

Pamela's avatar

Didn't Putin just make some big statement about how America is now aligned with Russia? Or something to that effect? I only saw the headline on one article, didn't read it as I know that krasnov has been a Russian asset since the 80s. I believe the 2 ex KGB guys who came out separately and told the whole story of how they were looking for an American that they could cultivate and they decided on trump.

Sukey Pett's avatar

Keep fighting the good fight, Ben.

Tina Fagan's avatar

I support your reporting and your refusal to apologize for telling the truth. Someone has to tell the truth since the mainstream media won’t. Keep up the good work

Susan's avatar

Never apologize for speaking the truth. Trump is a snake oil salesman who can never be trusted

Ellen McKenzie's avatar

Standing with you!

Susan's avatar

Cover it more. And more. And more.

Cruz Rios's avatar

Finally truth reporting. A novelty in this orange era.

Calamity Jane's avatar

You tell them Ben. We've got your back

Cat's avatar

Thank you! Keep telling the truth! Never back down!

They can't lie in court. Stand your ground in a non-violent way.

Hendrik Gideonse's avatar

They can't? Whatever gave you that idea . . . \s
