Trump once again failed to meet the moment and tone down the rhetoric. He embarrassed the country to the entire world. There not a single country that can take us seriously and rely on us to do good and we the moral authority in the world.
DJT made an utter fool of himself at the UN assembly. His entire incoherent rampage brought shame and humiliation on America. His remarks, his dimwitted claim that “Trump was right about everything” was the height of arrogance, self absorption and self-aggrandizement.
In fact, what the world witnessed at the UN yesterday was Delusional Donny on full display - A deranged, narcissistic madman’s condensed version in “how to win friends and influence people”. All he needed was a chainsaw, a blowtorch and a few canisters of teargas. And maybe a few MAGA red hats to toss at the audience.
The gravity of this moment in our history alarms me and deeply sadness me. Both. As if I weren’t already losing my friggin’ mind. He’s a monster!
The world is watching to see what we the people of the United States do to counteract what the current administration is doing to our country. The time for apathy is over. We must stand up and resist in every way we can. Call/write your congressional representatives, join a post card writing group, turn out for the protest on Oct 18th, make your voice heard. The world will hear us as well.
Agree. We must stand united and firm in our resolve to not allow this maniacal tyrant define who we are, even when we’re exhausted. And I suspect that countries around the globe can see clearly who DJT is and that a vast majority of Americans do not support him. In fact, the US secretary general made these remarks following trump’s tirade…
“In his speech, the UN secretary general, António Guterres, made a pitch for the UN’s continued relevance, but he acknowledged the pillars of peace and prosperity were buckling, and multilateralism was suffering. “Multipolarity without effective multilateral institutions courts chaos – as Europe learned the hard way resulting in world war one,” he said.
By the end of his speech he was left to comfort himself by insisting “we must never give up”.
“But the efforts to develop a strong anti-Trumpian alliance bringing together the global south and Europe has been weakened by the issue of double standards – the belief that Europe’s outrage with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is not matched by similar outrage at Israel’s destruction of Gaza.
“Pedro Sánchez, the Spanish prime minister, in a speech to 500 Columbia University students on Monday repeatedly warned his fellow Europeans to realise how much damage the double standards charge had caused to their image.
“Indeed Sánchez is rapidly becoming the European leader most willing to stand in Trump’s way. At Columbia, he drew applause defending the positive virtues of migration and said: “Open societies are the best antidote to fanaticism” – remarks that had a special relevance given Trump’s attempts to silence the Columbia campus protests.
“He added: “When the voice of a society is silenced, it ends up dying. Open societies thrive on words. Freedom of expression, of belief, the right to participate in public life empowers citizens. Losing the freedom to dissent is opening the door to tyranny”.
I just fished my NY Times newsletter, which I never read anymore, out of the trash to see how they handled it. It was the second story after his politicization of the Justice Department and demand that it manufacture charges against his "enemies" (arguably an equally important story) but it's reported in the blandest terms, like it was nothing really.
I read them less and less. I have app on my phone for alerts and sometimes a deep article. But they are not the paper of record anymore. Everyone is scared of being targeted by the regime. If they all banded together, they could do some good for the country.
Yes. If EVERY news source that DJT has sued, would simply turned the table and IMMEDIATELY counter-sued Trump for defamation, harassment or malicious falsehoods, in proportion to his damage lawsuit against them, TACO would likely immediately back down.
EVERYONE needs to fight for their country NOW. It's too late to fight against USA becoming a dictatorship... BECAUSE USA IS NOW A DICTATORSHIP. EVERYYYONE needs to stand up for their country in MASSIVE WAYS NOW ! ! ! ! ! ! Or there may be nooo coming back from this... everrrrrr.......
I wouldn’t say we are a dictatorship but we have eroded so many checks and balances. But Meidas Mighty from other countries need heed your words to not allow this to happen to them
USA is running VERY much like a dictatorship now. And it gets moreso every single day. It's horrifying. AND EVERYONE SHOULD BE TAKING ACTION TO GET THEIR DEMOCRACY BACK. It is INSANE what is happening.
Adelita Grijalva was elected to Congress last night and as soon as she is sworn will sign the resolution petition on Trumepstein, which will force a full House vote.
Add Massie, delete Mace. Adelita makes no 218, the magic number.
Privately dozens of Republican House members admit Trump is nuts, and will have to announce on the record whether they want the files opened. Last week Patel probably perjured himself, alleging that there were no co-conspirators. Massie says he has the names of 20 identified by the victims.
I am sick of hearing what Republicans say in private...they are just trying to look good to whomever they are talking to...it's better to be seen as a coward than to show your true colors, that you support every single thing trump does and stands for. Massie is the only one with any "moral clarity" as Ben talked about and I don't know if it goes any further than the obvious right path of supporting victims of child sexual abuse. We need to start calling them out for the either cowards or reprobates they are.
Spineless is an understatement for these people, moral cowardice is a sin, is what is allowing this seriously deranged, hate filled being to destroy the country that so many fought and died to protect us from…someone exactly like what now occupies The People’s House…and HE is destroying even THAT! HE never plans on leaving, and we must make that happen sooner, rather than later…our time is short!
You say that. But if they vote to open the record, it may lead to stopping the Trump administration in its tracks.
I lived through at least three periods when Republicans did the same to us. My congressman in Pennsyltucky switched from Dem to R when oiffered committee assignments in 1982, and here in Baghdad By the Sea, 2 of our 3 MAGAT House members had once been Dems and switched allegiances.
We don't need them to switch parties -- just to stand up and observe their oaths. Check out those who say they want to talk. https://problemsolverscaucus.house.gov/
Do you think the problem solvers is real or are they too just pretending? Several years ago there was a group and right now I don't recall the name of the group and they presented themselves as being folks who considered legislation rather than party but it turned out they were all Republicans.
I love the read but more importantly I love the posts, agreeable we got a PREZNUT and a 34 Felon, top leader making an ass of himself and USA, you know those other nations were shaking their heads saying quietly this guy is a Con artist and Nut job! 34 Felon is declining even more mentally right in front of the cameras , globally stage at least in my eyes and what I see .
I hope the other world leaders were indeed shaking their heads and thinking this guy is a con artist and a nut job and nothing he has said is true. Unlike our GOP who continue to say he is the smartest person in the world. And yet they don't seem to explain why everyone else, the people that actually buy groceries is saying groceries are higher than a year ago.....
Look tRump’s embarrassing speech is all on him!!! For those of us who would never ever vote for him it was no reflection on us!!!!! HE is the embarrassment and it is all on him and his cult!!!!
They will only win if they change their approach. They have to think outside the box because of the way they lost the last election. We don't need a repeat!!
That is so true, Laura. And the world leaders and the people living in other countries know and see it to. They’re just sorry there’s nothing they can do to help us get Cockwomble and his crooked regime out.
Agree ! Everywhere I read it always says he's an embarrassment. For some reason I don't feel embarrassment; this is all on him. Sure the world may say that we American's are all alike, but I know they are intelligent enough to know that that's not true. The world population is so much smarter than ours. I can only hope they know that there are more of us than the orange one and his MAGATs.
I get how embarrassed you feel. However other nations need to see how bonkers Trump is for themselves. Here in the UK there’s little news about how awful it is in the States, driving me nuts. So just maybe his making a total ass of himself might start to deliver the message.
I hope you are correct. On the other hand, it's nice to know that what goes on in the US is not the main topic of conversation in the rest of the world...we are not the center of the universe. I hope all other nations are moving on from looking to the US for anything..we are no longer a beacon of democracy or anything except corruption and fascism.
So what? Not every donor source will be pure enough. I've never liked AIPAC going back decades, but the jackshit pulled by the so-called "Pro-Palestinians" in the last election (not voting for Kamala to "teach Democrats a lesson" when it was obvious Trump was joined at the hip to Netanyahu) has made this whole thing a non-issue to me.
And that is why I have found a church that is a Jesus follower and we volunteer within our community. I love that you said we need moral clarity Ben. We need that. And I do pray every day for that. I know that Jesus is not happy with the so called Christian movement led by Trump because they are not Christians. All the hate and vile that they spew is something Jesus is against. I know the movement is growing stronger as We the People are growing stronger. United we stand, together we do much.
Good for you. After leaving one church for illegal breaking of its own bylaws by a controlling bully pastor I’ve just left the next church for flaunting Charlie Kirk from the pew. They’re pretty much all “Satan Nationalists” in OK. Just Republican branch offices racketeering destroying any holiness churches were intended to have.
Good for you for finding an honest church that practices what it preaches!!! I am not a religious person but after watching the video from Alfred Street Church and the pastors speaking about charlie kirk and the reaction of the congregation I thought if I lived near there I'd be going to that church just to be around good people who are doing their best to follow the words of Jesus (and actually those of Muhammad and the teachings of Buddha). Please please please do all you can (and I have no idea what that could entail) to get the words and works of your church and similar churches "out there". I liked James Talarico's sermon where he talked about why beer is better than religion and he said you don't have to go door to door selling beer. I've always thought that people should seek out a faith because of the actions of the followers, not because someone knocks on the door and threatens them with going to hell if they don't repent and follow that church. There is so much news coverage of the white christian nationalists and let's face it, lots of people see through their cruelty (I mean goodness, rejoicing when anyone gets beat up....wow that's not very Christ like is it?) and I wish somehow more churches that truly support the words of Jesus would get more vocal and in the public's eye. This would be good for everybody, the folks that find a comforting home in the church and the recipients of the good deeds of the church members.
Trump's dementia was on full display at the UN meeting. His ideations of grandeur, the anger over everything, are all part of this condition. This administration castrated the Biden administration over the same thing. Biden was nothing like Trump, forgetful, yes, most people by this age are forgetful. Trump is dangerous because he has so many angry outbursts. He is not mentally fit to be the President. It is time to submit the articles of Impeachment again.
People with dementia may experience anger and aggression as a result of cognitive decline and the challenges it poses. Here are some common symptoms:
-Verbal aggression: Yelling, shouting, swearing, making threats
-Irritability and frustration: Easily becoming annoyed or upset over small things
-Delusions and hallucinations: Believing things that are not true, which can lead to anger
-Grandiose delusions in dementia are false beliefs of having superior qualities, importance, or powers, driven by underlying brain damage from the disease
And yet the entire GOP Congress except maybe Massie adore him (don't believe what they may claim "in private" that they don't agree with him...they'd rather be seen as cowards than to let folks know they really are just as despicable as trump, and they know everything he does hurts their constituents except the few very wealthy. )
Pat, you are correct. Trump is the puppet; the administration is pulling the strings. They know how to work DJT, they incite his behaviors. The administration knows Trump has power; the administration without Trump does not. They need him to continue to steal and degrade America. I'm afraid it's going to be a long road for the rest of us. Laws will need to be enacted in order to stop this from happening again. I'm concerned about midterms and the 2028 election. Trump is not healthy.
I agree - the felon is the Useful fool of the GOP. Quid Pro Quo - Keep me out of prison and enable me to make billions and I will be your face of hate! There are not that many people that can just lie as often as breathing like the sexual abuser felon and leavitt.
If he does indeed have dementia which so many real experts think he does (as well as so many regular people who have seen this in their own families) he may not think/know he is lying. He may actually believe everything he says...like that 300 million Americans died from drug overdoses last year...and we only had a population of 346 million..... He has said so many times that grocery prices are down with all the proof showing just the opposite that maybe he believes it in his dementia. Experts say that not being able to tell reality from fantasy/falsehoods is one of many indicators of dementia and maybe that is why he is able to lie so easily and so often. He obviously started out as a liar in all his business deals (and marriages considering his infidelity) but I don't know if in his early years he was as persistent as he is now. I don't think he was lying when he said he can grab a woman by her privates and there are no consequences or when he said Epstein was a very nice guy.... What gets me is that all the GOP members of congress support him and his lies and I don't think many or even any of them have dementia, so they have no excuse. I also wonder that in addition to being a sociopath if trump isn't somewhere on the autism spectrum...the way he simply cannot let go of something is sometimes a symptom of autism (which can make folks with that particular type of neurodivergence really great at research as they won't give up till they find an answer!).
The Heritage Foundation is running the show! They need to be called out and not be allowed to continue being silent behind the curtain. It makes me wonder how many other people are threatened.
I can only stomach a few minutes of any of his speeches. From reports I'm glad i didn't watch fully. Just hearing b his voice ramps up my anger and anxiety which in turn cause me extra pain. ( I have a chronic pain disease, no cure.)
I can only take Trump in low doses!
Kudos to all of you journalists who do this work for a living. You must live on excedrine and antacids!
I am sorry to hear about your chronic pain diagnosis. That is a silent condition and sort of like depression, lots of folks don't think it's a real thing. I hope you have a lot of support and want you to know that I emphasize with you. While I do not suffer from Chronic Pain and cannot totally understand what you are going through, I had a very close friend who had chronic fatigue syndrome (now it has some long fancy name) and I have a family member who has clinical depression and the disbelief and lack of support they have experienced might be similar to what you have to endure, in addition to being in pain all the time. Please do all you can to take care of yourself, and I think it benefits all of us if we limit our trump time!
My disease is RSD/CRPS. , a. Injury from a car accident led to this. Just google it, you'll be surprised at the war we fight each day. 23 yrs live been battling. My support person was my late husband. Thank you for your comment❤️
I googled it...wow it's just awful..... Isn't it a shame that we have to fight over whether or not a proven medication like tylenol is safe and no one (or very few folks) are fighting to find cures (or at least relief) from conditions like what you suffer from. I believe there are answers. We are making so many advances in the field of medicine (well maybe not "we" in the US since the GOP does not believe in science or medicine, but "we"in the world) that there is a way to adjust the nervous system so it's back to normal. I recently read about a study where some patients have regained the ability to walk after being paralyzed and then having the spinal cord painted with stem cells (that's a bit of an oversimplification). That's a huge step in the right direction (no pun intended) and I think is an example of medical issues we can cure or treat better with more research. Sadly, "we" meaning the GOP Congress just choose to not put the resources where they need to be to find them, and instead the rest of us have to spend so much energy fighting trumpism.
Thank you for taking the time to google RSD. So many people even in the medical field don't know about it or think we make it up. More awareness is greatly needed. Thanks again.
So true!!! Moral clarity is key and I cannot fathom the lack of it in our society. I’m grateful to you and your family for all you do to keep everyone informed about the truth. Y’all are my, and I’m sure many, guiding light in this stormy sea that we’ve been thrown into. Much respect, appreciation and gratitude 💙✊
I totally agree with the thanks for being the guiding light. I really don't know how great the lack of moral clarity is in our nation. It is for sure what mainstream media reports on and fosters by normalizing, but I wonder if the everyday man/woman on the street really embraces the immorality of the trump administration and the entire GOP Congress. On a one to one basis, I don't think most Americans would steal your wallet yet all the maga folks are fine with trump et all stealing all they can...most Americans, even maga folks, really do not support the sexual abuse of kids or anyone, but they are fine with trump doing it...most Americans, not even maga folks would not beat up a person of color just because of their skin color, but they support ICE doing it, most Americans would like to see rich people treated the same as they are in the justice system, but they are fine with trump violating every law and every part of the Constitution he feels like violating. I don't know what that says about the moral clarity of our nation. But I do think it past time that those of us who believe in the rule of law, in not beating up people, not stealing and so on, that it is not ok for us to do these things, for our neighbors to do these things or for trump and the GOP Congress to do to stand up for moral clarity.
This unsubstantiated idea that taking Tylenol during pregnancy causes autism is reckless and dangerous for women. Again, the blame falls on women. The woman must have done something wrong or the child would be born without issues. What is it?? Vaccines or Tylenol? Or did she not smile enough while giving birth??!!
In my unprofessional opinion, that due to Trump not having a nurturing, loving, attentive mother because of her illnesses, he's seeking revenge on women. They say that everything starts at home.
Trump was a bully towards other kids at a young age.
There is some indication that some of the problem may be older fathers. I think there are some studies on that, but nothing that's been published widely, however. It's not just a conspiracy theory. It seems that there is a biological clock for men, too.
I wonder if the Meidas Touch Network could start offering the Jimmy Kimmel Show, along with Late Night with Stephen Colbert to people who live in Nexstar and Sinclair broadcast areas? Maybe that isn't practical, given the costs that might be involved, but I would hate to see their voices cancelled by right-wingnuts. Sometimes these guys shows are the only things that help me get through the days now...

And corrupt SCOTUS & republicans in congress giving him lawlessly the hammer & mirror.
But remember, the Democrats SHOULD WIN the midterms next year and don't forget to VOTE FOR JON OSSOFF THIS NOVEMBER!!!!
They will only win if they change their approach. They have to think outside the box because of the way they lost the last election. We don't need a repeat!!
Isn't it NEXT November? His isn't a special election and this is an odd year.
No, it's November 2025. He's the Only Democrat this year..
It's 2026. No senate seats are up in odd years except for special elections.

We loved Jimmy last night. He is truly a class act and so funny. Thank you Midas- keep reporting! You are my hero and so is Jimmy!
Using Trump and Carr's own words, Kimmel showed the MAGA free-speech hypocrisy yesterday in his return. It was an excellent comeback!
I get how embarrassed you feel. However other nations need to see how bonkers Trump is for themselves. Here in the UK there’s little news about how awful it is in the States, driving me nuts. So just maybe his making a total ass of himself might start to deliver the message.

He's such an embarrassment to our country. Thank you Ben ❤️💙
RELEASE THE PEDO-FILES!!!
The resistance is frightening them. Their timeline speeding up is proof of this; it’s more important than ever to keep the pressure on. Keep fighting!
Jon ossof needs our Money and our VOTE IN NOVEMBER!!
Ossof is receiving $783,344 from the Pro-Israel lobby.....AIPAC.
Demand he put America first in this pivitol election.....if there is one.
So what? Not every donor source will be pure enough. I've never liked AIPAC going back decades, but the jackshit pulled by the so-called "Pro-Palestinians" in the last election (not voting for Kamala to "teach Democrats a lesson" when it was obvious Trump was joined at the hip to Netanyahu) has made this whole thing a non-issue to me.
Your opinion is totaly correct. When one sees Democrats and GOP doing the Satanic wailing wall BS together...people should take note.
Hats off to John Fugelsang!! His book "Church and Hate" just hit the NYTImes bestseller list.......without corporate media attention.
I just checked AIPAC tracker. I don't see AIPAC listed for Ossoff.
J Street is listed for Ossoff differs from AIPAC check it out.

They’re pretty much all “Satan Nationalists” in OK. Just Republican branch offices racketeering destroying any holiness churches were intended to have.
Please keep looking. Presbyterian Church USA- not other offshoots- is usually liberal.
Good for you for finding an honest church that practices what it preaches!!! I am not a religious person but after watching the video from Alfred Street Church and the pastors speaking about charlie kirk and the reaction of the congregation I thought if I lived near there I'd be going to that church just to be around good people who are doing their best to follow the words of Jesus (and actually those of Muhammad and the teachings of Buddha).

This would be good for everybody, the folks that find a comforting home in the church and the recipients of the good deeds of the church members.
Trump's dementia was on full display at the UN meeting. His ideations of grandeur, the anger over everything, are all part of this condition. This administration castrated the Biden administration over the same thing. Biden was nothing like Trump, forgetful, yes, most people by this age are forgetful. Trump is dangerous because he has so many angry outbursts. He is not mentally fit to be the President. It is time to submit the articles of Impeachment again.
People with dementia may experience anger and aggression as a result of cognitive decline and the challenges it poses. Here are some common symptoms:
-Verbal aggression: Yelling, shouting, swearing, making threats
-Irritability and frustration: Easily becoming annoyed or upset over small things
-Delusions and hallucinations: Believing things that are not true, which can lead to anger
-Grandiose delusions in dementia are false beliefs of having superior qualities, importance, or powers, driven by underlying brain damage from the disease
And yet the entire GOP Congress except maybe Massie adore him (don't believe what they may claim "in private" that they don't agree with him...they'd rather be seen as cowards than to let folks know they really are just as despicable as trump, and they know everything he does hurts their constituents except the few very wealthy. )
Pat, you are correct. Trump is the puppet; the administration is pulling the strings. They know how to work DJT, they incite his behaviors. The administration knows Trump has power; the administration without Trump does not. They need him to continue to steal and degrade America. I'm afraid it's going to be a long road for the rest of us. Laws will need to be enacted in order to stop this from happening again. I'm concerned about midterms and the 2028 election. Trump is not healthy.
I agree - the felon is the Useful fool of the GOP. Quid Pro Quo - Keep me out of prison and enable me to make billions and I will be your face of hate! There are not that many people that can just lie as often as breathing like the sexual abuser felon and leavitt.
If he does indeed have dementia which so many real experts think he does (as well as so many regular people who have seen this in their own families) he may not think/know he is lying. He may actually believe everything he says...like that 300 million Americans died from drug overdoses last year...and we only had a population of 346 million..... He has said so many times that grocery prices are down with all the proof showing just the opposite that maybe he believes it in his dementia. Experts say that not being able to tell reality from fantasy/falsehoods is one of many indicators of dementia and maybe that is why he is able to lie so easily and so often. He obviously started out as a liar in all his business deals (and marriages considering his infidelity) but I don't know if in his early years he was as persistent as he is now. I don't think he was lying when he said he can grab a woman by her privates and there are no consequences or when he said Epstein was a very nice guy.... What gets me is that all the GOP members of congress support him and his lies and I don't think many or even any of them have dementia, so they have no excuse. I also wonder that in addition to being a sociopath if trump isn't somewhere on the autism spectrum...the way he simply cannot let go of something is sometimes a symptom of autism (which can make folks with that particular type of neurodivergence really great at research as they won't give up till they find an answer!).
The Heritage Foundation is running the show! They need to be called out and not be allowed to continue being silent behind the curtain. It makes me wonder how many other people are threatened.
I can only stomach a few minutes of any of his speeches. From reports I'm glad i didn't watch fully. Just hearing b his voice ramps up my anger and anxiety which in turn cause me extra pain. ( I have a chronic pain disease, no cure.)
I can only take Trump in low doses!
Kudos to all of you journalists who do this work for a living. You must live on excedrine and antacids!
Thank you for your dedication to truth.
I have to read transcripts. I can't stand listening to him.
I am sorry to hear about your chronic pain diagnosis. That is a silent condition and sort of like depression, lots of folks don't think it's a real thing. I hope you have a lot of support and want you to know that I emphasize with you. While I do not suffer from Chronic Pain and cannot totally understand what you are going through, I had a very close friend who had chronic fatigue syndrome (now it has some long fancy name) and I have a family member who has clinical depression and the disbelief and lack of support they have experienced might be similar to what you have to endure, in addition to being in pain all the time. Please do all you can to take care of yourself, and I think it benefits all of us if we limit our trump time!
Hi Pat
My disease is RSD/CRPS. , a. Injury from a car accident led to this. Just google it, you'll be surprised at the war we fight each day. 23 yrs live been battling. My support person was my late husband. Thank you for your comment❤️
Niw we must focus on the EPSTEIN FILES!!!
I googled it...wow it's just awful..... Isn't it a shame that we have to fight over whether or not a proven medication like tylenol is safe and no one (or very few folks) are fighting to find cures (or at least relief) from conditions like what you suffer from. I believe there are answers. We are making so many advances in the field of medicine (well maybe not "we" in the US since the GOP does not believe in science or medicine, but "we"in the world) that there is a way to adjust the nervous system so it's back to normal. I recently read about a study where some patients have regained the ability to walk after being paralyzed and then having the spinal cord painted with stem cells (that's a bit of an oversimplification). That's a huge step in the right direction (no pun intended) and I think is an example of medical issues we can cure or treat better with more research. Sadly, "we" meaning the GOP Congress just choose to not put the resources where they need to be to find them, and instead the rest of us have to spend so much energy fighting trumpism.
Thank you for taking the time to google RSD. So many people even in the medical field don't know about it or think we make it up. More awareness is greatly needed. Thanks again.
Keep up the essential work you and the network are doing such a terrific job at. Thank you for guiding the arc of The Meidas Touch towards justice.
So true!!! Moral clarity is key and I cannot fathom the lack of it in our society. I’m grateful to you and your family for all you do to keep everyone informed about the truth. Y’all are my, and I’m sure many, guiding light in this stormy sea that we’ve been thrown into. Much respect, appreciation and gratitude 💙✊
I totally agree with the thanks for being the guiding light. I really don't know how great the lack of moral clarity is in our nation. It is for sure what mainstream media reports on and fosters by normalizing, but I wonder if the everyday man/woman on the street really embraces the immorality of the trump administration and the entire GOP Congress. On a one to one basis, I don't think most Americans would steal your wallet yet all the maga folks are fine with trump et all stealing all they can...most Americans, even maga folks, really do not support the sexual abuse of kids or anyone, but they are fine with trump doing it...most Americans, not even maga folks would not beat up a person of color just because of their skin color, but they support ICE doing it, most Americans would like to see rich people treated the same as they are in the justice system, but they are fine with trump violating every law and every part of the Constitution he feels like violating. I don't know what that says about the moral clarity of our nation. But I do think it past time that those of us who believe in the rule of law, in not beating up people, not stealing and so on, that it is not ok for us to do these things, for our neighbors to do these things or for trump and the GOP Congress to do to stand up for moral clarity.
This unsubstantiated idea that taking Tylenol during pregnancy causes autism is reckless and dangerous for women. Again, the blame falls on women. The woman must have done something wrong or the child would be born without issues. What is it?? Vaccines or Tylenol? Or did she not smile enough while giving birth??!!
In my unprofessional opinion, that due to Trump not having a nurturing, loving, attentive mother because of her illnesses, he's seeking revenge on women. They say that everything starts at home.
Trump was a bully towards other kids at a young age.

There is some indication that some of the problem may be older fathers. I think there are some studies on that, but nothing that's been published widely, however. It's not just a conspiracy theory. It seems that there is a biological clock for men, too.
Thank you Ben
I wonder if the Meidas Touch Network could start offering the Jimmy Kimmel Show, along with Late Night with Stephen Colbert to people who live in Nexstar and Sinclair broadcast areas? Maybe that isn't practical, given the costs that might be involved, but I would hate to see their voices cancelled by right-wingnuts. Sometimes these guys shows are the only things that help me get through the days now...
You know, you echo my thoughts. Thank you for speaking out in favor of this idea1
