A person can’t see if they refuse to look. The core of MAGA are people who hid themselves from any information that might conflict with what they have led themselves to believe.
Remember, you are dealing with a cult and thus, cult mentality. They will literally have to be deprogrammed. Only a few very strong individuals will break away on their own.
Is what MAGA(not all the same),understands...is that since the harsh times of hyper inflation and Reagan/Volker's violent increase in interest rates...the middle class(that vanished economic class), has been begging to be heard. A RETURN....not to Jim Crow days, but wages that weren't stuck to costs of ten years ago. The promise of a better life through education, proved to be a good bet, but for only a fraction of the young(and older), that happened to catch the right wave of popular jobs of the moment. Meanwhile, State legislatures were busily cutting subsidizes to state and community education. Combined with the various financial, political scams perpetrated by various corporate and political parties...the individual didn't stand a chance. Of course there were the exceptions to the norm, and those few were happily paraded before the public and lauded by the media/politicians as EXAMPLES of bootstrap hard work....LOL! As if working hard was the ONLY thing holding back the masses from untold wealth! That part was true, untold wealth was what awaited the masses. Because, defined retirement plans were replaced by that big casino...AKA 401k casino bets!
Well as we all know the maggots are illiterate and totally uninformed! Fox propaganda channel should have its license revoked because THEY are the main problem spewing LIES and hate daily!!
Because they are grifting? Because they believe that's what their constituents want? Because they are afraid of becoming a nobody? Because they're afraid DJT will stop any grants or favors their state gets? Or is it because they have also caught the dementia bug?
You're right! I can remember at work, 30 years ago, we joked about him and made fun of him. But he's a media-made man. I never watched his b.s. TV shows. He's always been a disgusting human being. The whole Epstein debacle is proof positive.
You guys need to rid yourselves of this disease d administration.
I've hated him since the 90's, something about him creeped me out. In hindsight, with good reason. I never watched his stupid show either, I hated him so I didn't bother. I wish it were that easy to get rid of him but you can clearly see we are being cock-blocked by the GOP/MAGA party that is in full control of our government. Also, the far-right supreme court who are paving the way to the demise of the USA we once knew. Please keep in mind, most of us Americans love Canada/Canadians and appreciate your concern and support. 🇨🇦
Watching the morning news and I see nothing on the Saudi airspace restrictions or news on the hantavirus. We need independent news now more than ever. MTN is growing and filling a huge gap that billionaire owned media refuses to cover. Thanks Ben and your talented team for taking on the challenges AND the risks.
Mainstream media will NOT give you all the news. Been bought up by the filthy rich & they only report what trump wants. Don’t even bother w/them unless you’re just comparing. The independents, like Substack are good, foreign, pods, blogs, etc.
He would love another covid. Sick bastards. How easy it would be to shut down the country again because of another pandemic. We have nobody like Dr. FAUCCI on the job. Alll fired .
Where the majority of people, still receive their 'news' is the 3 major network sources. Cable news channels are in the minority, and have become silo sources unto themselves. Sadly, the major networks have become shadows of their former selves, reliant upon sensational moving pictures or explosions at night, but little on the ground reporting, unless something salable happens in NYC, LA and increasingly DC. Watch the news coverage, the next time Congress is on one of its many 'breaks'. The #1 reporting team also goes on vacation. Cute stories about pets, children and that ONE success story is aired to fill the void of lack of propaganda. Bombs still drop, Ukraine an after thought and Cuba awaits fuel from Venezuela. Asia, not China, are running out of oil/gas. Australia had many shortages. As usual...the poorer nations will pay a harsh price from the actions of a vindictive political 'leader'. Oh, I nearly forgot fertilizer and Helium. Perhaps eliminating the tariffs on those islands of penguins,will allow their guano to be imported, at this crucial time!?
“Barely playing checkers with unserious people.” I could not agree more. And being from Indiana, could not be more embarrassed of the idiots that backed his redistricting goons. Will say ONE positive thing is that I live in the tiny pocket that managed to keep Spencer Deery…
The role of Governor Mike Braun and Senator Jim Bank in helping Trump go after the Indiana Republican state senators who resisted redistricting needs to be front and center.
I told my husband last night, I can't believe we live in a red state! Braun et.all are the worst trump toadies there are! Braun and Banks are disgusting!
His only one true skill is to be a vulture and like a starving carnivore that sucks off the dead ends of life - he succeeds at pulling in those desperately flawed in needing access to power and money above all else. Then abuses all to fill his gullet.
Yes Kelly .i feel the same. The PA I see is all in for the demented grandpa and his BS. BRESNAHAN, MCCORMICK. Fetterman. Wake up PA. Embarassing doesn't cover it. All in on grift and lie.
Yeah, we will NEVER AGAIN be seen as the leader of the free world, the orange felon has made us 100% toxic to the rest of the world. I'm really grateful I'm 66 and my father died before the orange felon stole the last election-he would have had another heart attack and died as a result. I really feel for everyone under the age of fifty-your entire world has been irreversibly altered and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. Pretty sad.
My grandchildren will never know the country we knew. So sad. I can't even bring myself to fly my American flag or to participate in the 250th celebration of what was once a great nation.
I hear what you're saying. But having those bases there hasn't stopped Putin. At this point, as with our own authoritarian, it feels like only Mother Nature can.
Peace? Are you kidding or just plain stupid? The oligarchs have decided to split the whole world up into three pieces American, Russian and Chinese. The rest of us are just vessels meant to serve their whims. If we act out they will take away our food and medical. Then they will let us die.
The greed of the ultra wealthy is boundless. We have entered the worldwide Depression. The ultra rich just want us dead. Welcome to reality. Resistance is futile or so they would like you to believe. There are still good leaders out there. You just need to listen with your brain turned on. People like Obama, Carney in Canada , AOC and Bernie in Congress.,Some of the state governors from the Blue states know what to do. We just have to listen. Oh and turn off FOX and AXIOS..
Communicating like that is precisely why people hate Americans.
Perhaps, a thinking person might have taken a beat before rushing to prove how knowledgeable and assertive they are. Nope - rush right to insulting, instead of stopping for a second, taking a breath, and actually trying to understand what a comment like that means. You don't know me. Is it so hard to listen to someone else's opinion that you don't share? Even when it's spoken softly?
If you think for one fucking second that I am either naive or plain stupid...
If you think for one fucking second that I'm not realistically staring down the same dystopian motherfucking future for me, my kids, my grandkids as you're looking at...
If you think for one fucking second that only your perspective is correct...
Then maybe, just maybe, you're not fucking thinking.
We don't need angry voices hurling insults. We need people who can imagine peace.
Thanks for always speaking the truth. It’s what WE THE PEOPLE and the world need, not the manipulative lies from this evil regime. You are greatly appreciated for all you and your team do daily. Great job!
Iran only needs to follow Trump on Truth Social and interpret his lies, bravado and posturing. As I said elsewhere it’s in Iran’s interest to nurture the common interests of the other countries in the region and work with them to setup an association that keeps the Strait open and Israel at bay. Not a trivial solution or one that can be done instantly but in the best interests of all countries in the Middle East. At this point Trump has made the US in the region a pariah and unlikely to play a significant role in the region
Yesterday I was at a restaurant that was showing the news in Hong Kong. They showed the clip of the Mad King talking crazy to the children in the Oval Office. So the world is seeing what most Americans do not. Thank you for all you do.
Ah yes.... "Operation Bullshit" is going as planned. The Trumpies are making a fortune and the politicians and mainstream media act like the orange king is actually president and not a mafia boss. In fact I'm surprised tRump has not called himself "Godfather" yet.
You said it so well. I'll never understand how Maga can't see it too. This effects them as well.
A person can’t see if they refuse to look. The core of MAGA are people who hid themselves from any information that might conflict with what they have led themselves to believe.
That’s an understatement..
Remember, you are dealing with a cult and thus, cult mentality. They will literally have to be deprogrammed. Only a few very strong individuals will break away on their own.
The Retribution Rethuglican Regime.

So true
Well as we all know the maggots are illiterate and totally uninformed! Fox propaganda channel should have its license revoked because THEY are the main problem spewing LIES and hate daily!!
Amen sista.
Exactly
Because they are grifting? Because they believe that's what their constituents want? Because they are afraid of becoming a nobody? Because they're afraid DJT will stop any grants or favors their state gets? Or is it because they have also caught the dementia bug?
For someone who claimed he had the best “mental”, he’s failed at everything and now he’s gone completely mental. Impeach now!
He's always been mental, Mike. His insanity is only intensifying with each failure.
And yet he still has a 37% approval rating, Joanne. Which tells us all we need to know about Trump voters.
Right. I've always said, Trump voters are mental as well. Crazy gravitates to crazy.
And they say we have TDS lol
Exactly!!! 🙄😆
Birds of a feather flock together through thick and thin.
Indeed!! 😒
And he has the approval of the Supreme Court and the majority in Congress. Those are our targets.
You're right! I can remember at work, 30 years ago, we joked about him and made fun of him. But he's a media-made man. I never watched his b.s. TV shows. He's always been a disgusting human being. The whole Epstein debacle is proof positive.
You guys need to rid yourselves of this disease d administration.
From your concerned Canadian neighbour.🇨🇦😐
I've hated him since the 90's, something about him creeped me out. In hindsight, with good reason. I never watched his stupid show either, I hated him so I didn't bother.

I don't even turn the news on anymore. Not even our local news of which the majority their broadcast time is about the weather.
Weather every ten minutes on my local station interspersed with ads. What are they hiding?
EVERYTHING KIT
Same.
And they never get that right anymore either
Same here. I don't even bother with them. Why should I?
Not yet a new Covid but something to watch that a gutted CDC and NIH aren’t well prepared to deal with as Americans return home that were on the ship

My fear exactly. Another pandenmic could be in our midst soon.
He would love another covid. Sick bastards. How easy it would be to shut down the country again because of another pandemic. We have nobody like Dr. FAUCCI on the job. Alll fired .
Bang on, Rusty!

Agreed. Funny how they hid behind generic PAC names in their endless attack ads.
His only one true skill is to be a vulture and like a starving carnivore that sucks off the dead ends of life - he succeeds at pulling in those desperately flawed in needing access to power and money above all else. Then abuses all to fill his gullet.

Thank you MTN for all your hard work and keeping us informed with truth..
Thank you for keeping us informed.
The media makes it so much worse. Thank God for your guys 🇺🇸

There's a whole lot we can do to reverse the damage of the Drump administration. Let's come together and do it.
My grandchildren will never know the country we knew. So sad. I can't even bring myself to fly my American flag or to participate in the 250th celebration of what was once a great nation.
Good morning.
I'm not being naive - hell, I'm a military mum. But ... what I see when countries close military bases or access to airspace? Peace. Imagine that?
No I believe it's one step closer to Putin taking over Europe.
I hear what you're saying. But having those bases there hasn't stopped Putin. At this point, as with our own authoritarian, it feels like only Mother Nature can.
Peace? Are you kidding or just plain stupid? The oligarchs have decided to split the whole world up into three pieces American, Russian and Chinese. The rest of us are just vessels meant to serve their whims. If we act out they will take away our food and medical. Then they will let us die.

Thanks for the clear-eyed summary of how well and truly f**ked we are.
