All of these governors would make fine presidents. Thank you for organizing our defense of democracy. I wrote a poem inspired by the bravery of mighty Meidas: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/meidas-touch-poem

AGREE..an excellent town hall for all to hear. I was not familiar with the Massachusetts governor and she impressed me. But all four governors are from Progressive states working to improve the lives of their constituents.

She’s my Governor!! Although I do not agree with some of her issues, I have always believed to agree to disagree! I know that we can not make everyone in this world happy but as long as you are here trying to make the world a better and safer place, then I will support you!

This speaks to the team needed. It’s as necessary to run a country and be a leader in this vast and complicated world as it is to run a company vested in not just its employees and share holders but customer satisfaction and product reliability.

Right now we are the laughing stock and vilified traitor to an American Standard of excellence. Our standing has been in decline except for the wealthiest garnering more money and power.

The con’s game is to portray us used for a long time. Fits perfectly into the alternative facts.

The lesson is not acknowledged -still yet (but the needed protest is growing). The disenfranchised bought the con, evil doers played long, voted for the perfect puppet , and played right into Putin’s long sought goal ..eradicating threat #1.

For as many times as I’ve heard the various spiels -be they conspiracy theories, lies, or manipulate reasoning, it all boils to selling the spoils.

A.better.word.there.is.not.

That we could help neighbors by reciprocal trading, shore up their defenses against internal discord or bolster their inhabitants is tricky . A team of experts (not exploiters) is as necessary as a good president. And that requires people of creditable accomplishment of good standing, positions of notable, successful advice/support.

This current presidency #47 same ‘as the old boss’ #45 and chosen team now (and then) couldn’t misrepresent that criteria better ..but assuredly they’ll try by doubling down ( on their lies) or double talking any answer requiring accountability let alone the truth . It’s sad funny- such caustic insidious polish.

Yes we’re not eye catching , rarely drama quality the soap opera mentality loves, except when rolling up our sleeves.

The Democratic history of cleaning up a mess is classic and historic.

The tech quality of the governor-fest last night was top drawer! It was visually clear, the audio was practically flawless and Ben did not make it about himself AT ALL! Perfection, MTN! Congratulations! Do another with 4 other governors. No doubt they are chomping at the bit to be featured. MTN is the place to be! Go MTN! 🩷😊

Ben, the Town Hall was great! Governors Pritzker, Walz, Hochal, and Healey, gave wonderful answers to all the questions, that were asked. JB is my Governor, and he always has our best interests in mind. I posted the link for the Town Hall on Facebook, in hopes my friends would watch it. I’ve also been posting your videos on Facebook, so my friends can get the facts, and not listen to the lies that they hear on the regular news outlets. I love the Meidas Mighty! ❤️💙🇺🇸🇺🇦🦋

Fantastic town hall with these four strong and intelligent governors! You showcased the fact that we have great people who could become President and lead our democracy in an admirable, positive way!

You are our leader in this anti-autocracy fight. We need to save our Constitution since it is slowly ebbing away. Just wondering … worse comes to worst … can the president with a “yes” Congress and SC change the constitution? What is the recourse of the citizenry?

PETITION UPDATE- As of this writing, we have 1266 SIGNATURES! +BIG NEWS! Michigan Democratic Rep. Shri Thanedar, announced Monday, 4/28, that he HAS FILED ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT AGAINST TRUMP! I have added him to the petition along with Representative Green of Texas who plans to file articles of impeachment by May 5th. Thanks to everyone who has signed and shared the petition, and so generously contributed! If you have not signed, please consider it! www.change.org/impeach_now I am convinced that: We must stay loud. We must stay visible. We must demand accountability. If there is a local protest or town hall, I am making the effort to go. I’m still calling my Representatives multiple times a week. Here are the links in case you need them:

This is OUR democracy. Let’s defend it.

More signatures. More calls. More pressure.

In solidarity and strength, SCSM

Great work! Now he's toying with saying he wants to be the next Pope. God in His infinite mercy preserve us! I want to see "the threat neutralized." That can happen once he starts to turn on his hand-picked cabinet members. Betrayal is who he is. We can only hope he does that to one or more of them or scares them to get away from him and pull support from him. He needs to be gone.

After Trumpolini’s performance celebrating first 100 days in Michigan isn’t it time for the men in white coats to take him away in a straitjacket. This madness has to end soon.

He lives in a fantasy world. He’s such a pathological liar that he has lost touch with reality. What a dangerous position for us all 😱
