Ben Meiselas and Michael Popok, hosts of the #1 law and politics podcast on YouTube, dive into a packed agenda tonight: Trump’s meltdown over his recent court losses and his attacks on the Federalist Society and Leonard Leo; his failing legal strategy surrounding tariffs and the courts’ response; his corrupt pardon scheme and blatant influence-peddling; and his bizarre claim of severe emotional distress in a court filing aimed at pressuring CBS to pay him tens of millions to settle a lawsuit. All this and more at the intersection of law and politics.

Donald Trump is the most successful criminal that the US Department of Justice has ever produced, thus far.
And protected from accountability, and whitewashed TACO47’s heinous betrayal of America.
Precisely my point, and how delicious it is going to be to watch their monster turn on, and destroy them all. 🤣
And THEY ALL will go down just as hard....
As a criminal defense attorney, my opinion of a 'successful criminal' is one who never gets caught. Fungus 47 almost always gets 'caught', but he has been terribly successful in dodging accountability.
lol "fungus 47" Have you been watching "The Last of Us?"
Haven’t been watching, no.
It's about a cordyceps fungus that has adapted to infect people and turns them in zombies, more or less. 'Fungus 47' fits pretty well.
The DOD didn't produce the lying, scheming Dirty Diaper Don. Its the other way around.
His admission as to declining mental and physical state is true, but cannot be attributed to CBS. Now, that assertion is crazy!
I have no respect for them. TACO lover.
THIS ☝️
Someone needs to translate 5 speeches from 1930s germany into english and play them against steven millers rants. I’m betting they’re more similar than even I think.
You're dissing Miller's mentor...
No need for ellipses, finish your thought.
I’m suggesting anyone who thinks this hasn’t happened before needs to see that comparison.
If they think it’s not happening now, they’re just being obtuse at best.
If you read “Mein Kampf”… English version) You will see that Trump’s slogan “Make America Great”… in 30’s , Hitler’s slogan was “Make Germany Great Again”. ICE has become America’s Gestapo. I could go on and on. I was 17 years old when I, a young Jewish girl,read and did a book report on Mein Kampf” ( know your enemies). Now I see Nazi Facism come to fruition in our USA through Trump, Stephen Miller, and his Cabinet. Breaks my heart!!!!
I can't imagine how you and yours must be feeling having read Mein Kampf. It would have highlighted the amount of damage thinking the way Hitler did and - I suspect - trump must be far too real for you and your family to feel any safety at present. I am driven to wonder were you born in Germany? Are you old enough to have any memories of the war, or were you born in the US with your family's experiences?
Whatever, It must be disturbing a great number of Jews that already know, and in some cases remember those days.
I truly hope none of that horror will be landed on your doorsteps this time.
I feel that, no matter what, the rest of the world will stand back and watch until someone steps forward and takes trump away.
It would be a lowdown mean, cowardly and a nasty mind that would bring about war because of one demented old man. :)
Carolyn, thank you for your empathy. I came from immigrants who endured Russian pogroms and Hitler’s reign of terror. I once asked my grandmother if she thought a “Hitler-type” regime could form a govt here in USA. She had faith in this country, but told me if someone like that came in this country…if I had a family, I should take them and go to a country that would take us in. I am in the process of leaving this country with my family. Trump/Stehen Miller may believe they are for the Jews… but there are many anti-Semitic running this country.
Not just that, I can’t stand to see Trump/Miller policies being cruelly implemented on people who come to this country for asylum or a new life. Maybe the faces have changed… but the cruelty is still the same!!!!! Be well and safe.
You are stronger than me. I don’t think i could even touch that book.
I started in 7th grade english class, tho, w portions of the rise and fall of the third reich. Excellent schools back then.
I finished a degree in german, language mostly, but it was hard not to tell that story’s impact on german lit, esp. after the war.
Thank you John. The fact that you see Trump and his cohorts for what they are and represent AND are on this channel, I would say you are a very intelligent person.
You are absolutely correct about “know your enemy”—friends close, enemies closer.
I believe this has been a plan for over 30 years, and it started with the failure—throttling, actually—of our education system and funding.
It has allowed their propaganda to take deep roots.
I absolutely agree.
I think you have hit the nail on the head there. :(
Absolutely.
They're paying off anyone they can find to get the power they need. That includes ICE AGENTS! If we reveal the names and faces of these people, they will start to jump ship also!
I think a lot of the "ICE" agents are actually ProudBoys/Bounty Hunters, as of late. Hence the facial panties.
Exactly and the 1500 pardoned jan6 insurrectionists.
They got caught by not wearing masks.
You guys are so awesome 😎 thank you❣️
What a joke and never ending LIE, LIE, LIE, LIE, LIE, LIE, LIE..........! This CORRUPT regime says it is all about going after crime and THEY ARE THE BIGGEST CRIMINALS IN AMERICA!!! The time is coming for ALL of them to be in JAIL, be held responsible and accountable, and be forced to pay back restitution to EVERY AMERICAN they have swindled!!!!!!!! Including, Donnie, his family, his entire regime, the Project 2025 members and Republicans, and the corrupt Roberts (Roberts, Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett) court.
That would be worthwhile, after Felon47 not having to have one damn bit of accountability for any of his crimes, then holding us hostage in this unending attack on our safety & everything we value, the LEAST we are owed is the prosecution of him & every single one of his enablers.
NOT ONE OF THEM should EVER be allowed to escape from their Accountability or Responsibility for the damage they are doing.......NO PARDONS FOR THEM!! And if the Dictator pardons them, they should be ignored as coming from an ILLEGAL Dictator......
💯 there isn't ANYONE that can get away with this, if any of us failed to do our jobs, let alone breaking the law & doing harm, the consequences would be HARSH. We have to STOP this behavior sliding & being rewarded!

If Popok says it, I believe it. He is intelligent and honest.
He has admitted he has the symptoms of elderly mental homicidal psychosis. It is time for America to remove him from office and place him in an institution for the criminally insane. If, by chance, they can cure him and Trump becomes humanely sane, he may also return to office. Because his entire cabinet and associates have been complicit in allowing this behavior to destroy a once-prosperous nation, they, too, shall be removed from their positions and jailed.
Did Trump really admit this? I must be wrong. Otherwise there would be shouts full of glee a racing to help the thousands he’s crushed.
I believe he admitted to be in poor mental health, depression, and worrying too much and he was tired. I think it was from one of the commentators on this episode.
Suing people/companies, signing your name so many times and golfing sure tires trump out. I imagine just about anything would tire him out. How would he handle working on an assembly line 8 hours a day? How would he be able to work a 40 hour week and if Musk had his way, it would be 3 times that. He doesn't know what real work is and thinks that he is working so hard. Poor Donnie, no wonder he wears diapers and cries so much. So overworked!!!
I had read in a psychiatric journal about this condition in very depressed older people because I was showing signs of increasing anger. An example: a thermometer that's rising with anger and not talking to anyone or exercising to level off one's feelings, and the mercury in the thermometer keeps increasing. Hence, you blow out the red bulb at the top. Homicidal would be a personality trait of a person who has always had anger issues for years, and finally kills someone or themselves.
Thankyou John. I remember way back when Trump was getting started in politics, one of his sisters had commented his father was a real son of a bitch. And I imagine this young boy, possibly limited from some kind of ADHD or other disorder began filling out his fairy tale of wealth and power. He is a lost soul, and a great danger(so apparent!). And that so many enablers have jumped into this party, is frightening or just pure ghastly.
It is so clear. Congress must acknowledge!
And for all who are enraged by his actions: anger is not useful leading as it does to depression. He really needs treatment at high level.
Our USA is in crisis, first principals of humanity are being crushed because of one man bouncing off the walls.
One man and his cabinet.
The Supreme Court needs to step in and stop this criminal from further destruction of the welfare of our Nation…They need to know we are serious…Protests, Protest, Protest…
They won't step in. Remember.....they gave him immunity....... he's unhinged. They let the genie out of the bottle and it's gonna take a miracle to put him back in.
We won’t know unless we try….
I know. I'm always that person where the cup is always half full and full everybody's bucket with happiness . But..... I'm afraid this is too big and the MAGA is so full of hate.... nothing will ever happen. I feel doom. 🥹
Understand that the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade it would seem that they could also cut on his immunity….We’ll have to protest because I found out today they are allowing Doge to see our Social Security data…We need to stop them at whatever it takes…
More liars and scammers Steve Geobbels Miller and Howard Nutlick!
What a dickkkkkkkkkk
Are you sure?
He’s more like the slit in the TACO.
My aunt wants to know if she can sue the felon president for causing her severe mental anguish.
I am proud to be on the left according to them. Women's rights are human rights.
How about all of us sue Trump for "mental anguish and confusion" for $20 billion?
We could use the money to re-employ government workers, USAID, veterans, and protection for immigrants, and on and on!
Severe and emotional distress.
Keep pushing him over the edge, guys.
HARDER!!! Every fucking day. Relentlessly.
Trump is suffering from mental incapacity. He's clearly insane, evil, and demented.
I read another post today that called Trump TACO and Karoline Leavitt TACO Belle.
Histerical! 😂🤣😂
Mr. Popok,
I am sad to hear about the death of your mother.
Deepest sympathies.
It will be interesting to see how this develops. Project 2025 is foundational to Trump’s policies and administration. How can he walk away from the Federalist Society? I’m interested to see how/if Leo responds. Has the Federalist Society lost control of Frankenstein?
I’m hoping you’ll investigate & comment on (or have a guest do so) the legalities, corruption, and ramifications of Palantir being hired to extract, track, compile & combine personal data of all Americans? I’m concerned about the lack of privacy, the tightness of founder Peter Theil with JD Vance and Elon Musk, and that the company got the contract to do this without the administration considering any competitor tech companies.
Miller talks like a playback of a tape recorder. He is a weirdo.
Millers wife just left with Musk?!?! Complicated?
Stephen Miller gets more insufferable every time I see or hear him (which I really try to avoid doing). But it just amazes me how many people seem to think he is some sort of legal scholar. He should have been drawn & quartered many times over already, for purporting to practice law without even a law school education, much less a license to practice.
We need to shut Musk's data mill in Tenessee the heck down. He's machuning our stolen data. He's puking toxic waste out on the neighborhood. This is a 911 situation.
Debra I agree, the data mill is not being talked about enough!
Dumpf says the same thing about everyone. Facts don’t matter. He will even tell us what the person he is attacking thinks and feels, as if he can read minds and souls. He can’t even read English!
“The border is wide open, terrorists are pouring in!” Clarion call of fascists while they plunder our government and stifle our liberties. Demagogues are skilled in finding the most emotional populist message to convince the naive electorate. Not unlike the clickbait messages that grift millions from those who fall for nonsense. Truth is always more difficult to digest than bullshit and bullshit is the destroyer of free societies and murderer of millions. “Power in the hands of one [person] is the very definition of tyranny.” - Thomas Jefferson
This last episode of Legal AF was extraordinarily insightful—particularly its discussion of the Federalist Society’s role in shaping the current judiciary. It’s important to acknowledge that, while the organization has undeniably advanced a conservative legal agenda, many of its members are distinguished jurists and scholars who are deeply hostile to what Donald Trump is doing.
For example:
Steven Calabresi, co-founder and co-chairman of the Federalist Society, has sharply criticized Trump’s actions, even calling his suggestion to delay the 2020 election “fascistic.” (https://newrepublic.com/article/182542/decline-f);
George Conway, a prominent conservative attorney and Federalist Society affiliate, has been an unwavering critic of Trump’s disregard for constitutional norms. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Conway?utm_source=chatgpt.com);
Danielle Sassoon, a rising legal figure, demonstrated great integrity in resisting political interference during her service as a federal prosecutor. (https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-lede/danielle-sassoons-american-bravery?utm_source=chatgpt.com); and
Most significantly, Judge J. Michael Luttig, a former federal appellate judge and long-time conservative legal thought leader, has emerged as one of Trump’s most forceful critics—warning of the profound danger Trump poses to American constitutional democracy. (https://www.vox.com/scotus/415103/supreme-court-federal-society-donald-trump-leonard-leo?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
These examples underscore that fidelity to the rule of law and patriotism can—and often does—transcend ideological affiliations.
I have learned over the years that generalizations can often undermine credibility. Thank you, my former classmate and partner John Vecchione, for allowing me to see this more clearly, even though I disagree with the goal of most of your organization’s causes. See https://nclalegal.org/personnel/john-j-vecchione/.
___________________________________________________________________________
Now, allow me to clarifying something that may be obvious to regular viewers, but is important to restate: in “Trump-speak,” the phrase “hates America” often means “supports the rule of law and opposes the Trump Administration’s unconstitutional, illegal power grabs.” These actions—frequently carried out through institutional manipulation and disinformation—are consistent with patterns described by historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat in her essential book, Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present.
Professor Ben-Ghiat has contributed her expertise to several important documentaries now available on PBS and Netflix, and her Substack newsletter, Lucid (https://substack.com/@lucid), is indispensable.

🧠 Personal Note
Allow me a moment of pedantry—as an attorney and academic who has specialized in Russian legal affairs, transnational financial crime, and corruption for more than 35 years (and who also loves ChatGPT), I wanted to share a legal-political analysis that may resonate with Michael, Ben, and the Legal AF audience.

Authoritarian Judicial Capture: A Comparative Analysis
Authoritarian rulers have increasingly used judicial appointments as a central strategy to consolidate power, neutralize opposition, and shield themselves from accountability. Over the past 25 years, this tactic has spread across hybrid democracies and autocracies alike, with global consequences for the rule of law.
I. Tactics of Authoritarian Judicial Capture
1. Appointing Loyalists Loyalty trumps legal qualification. Authoritarian leaders appoint judges expected to uphold executive priorities and marginalize dissent.
Russia: Putin’s Constitutional Court helped abolish presidential term limits in 2020.
Turkey: Post-2016 purge led to Erdoğan stacking courts with allies.
Hungary: Orbán manipulated retirement rules and appointments to shift court ideology.
2. Restructuring the Judiciary Restructuring courts dilutes independent voices and tips the ideological balance.
Poland: PiS party expanded and packed the Constitutional Tribunal.
Venezuela: Chavismo stacked the Supreme Tribunal with party loyalists, rendering it an executive rubber stamp.
3. Fast-Track Appointments Bypassing vetting processes accelerates judicial capture.
Philippines: Duterte removed Chief Justice Sereno to install compliant successors.
El Salvador: Bukele purged and replaced Constitutional Chamber judges within days of gaining legislative control.
II. Strategic Benefits to Authoritarian Leaders
1. Legal Shielding of Executive Power High courts validate laws restricting dissent and civil liberties.
Russia: Judicial approval of laws curbing free speech and NGOs.
U.S. (Trump era): SCOTUS appointments enabled efforts to reinterpret the scope of executive power.
2. Immunity from Prosecution Judges block accountability for human rights abuses and corruption.
Kenya/Uganda: Selective judicial interference in international legal investigations.
Brazil: Bolsonaro allies received protection through strategic court influence.
3. Electoral Manipulation Courts resolve disputed elections—often to the regime’s benefit.
Zimbabwe: Constitutional Court upheld Mnangagwa’s controversial win.
U.S.: Trump’s failed attempt to weaponize the courts in 2020 highlighted a broader authoritarian impulse.
III. Institutional Consequences
Erosion of Judicial Legitimacy: Public trust collapses when courts are seen as partisan tools.
Chilling Effect on Lower Courts: Deference and fear cascade down the system.
Weakened International Norms: Global erosion of standards as regimes imitate each other’s authoritarian playbooks.
IV. Looking Forward
Judicial capture is both a cause and a consequence of democratic backsliding. Whether courts become guardians of constitutional order or facilitators of autocracy will depend on legal culture, civic resilience, and transnational pressure.
Rogue judges??? Cone on here!!! Just because Trump is not getting his way??? They have to follow are laws, but Trump is lawless and wants to do anything he want's
And HE CAN't!!!
PROTECT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE??? Really? SIR??🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🍷🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣That is Laughable!!!! When has TRUMP EVER CARE FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE???!!!
Trump is for: ME, MYSELF, & I !!!!
Howard Lutnick is such an embarrassing idiot.
I will have lost the last bit of respect I have left for MSM if CBS settles the “severe emotional distress” case out of court. There is no court in this world who would side with the felon on this one!
Which he is a master at, delay, slow, appeal, more delay and so on, and so on. A great deal of damage can be done from now until wherever! 16 months away from the mid-terms! 16 months of egregious damage.
Supreme court needs to stop taking these fake emergency cases from Grump & send back to lower courts where most of those judges are doing the right thing!
Us citizens need to have massive lawsuit against this regime for "emotional distress" and abuse!
Wait for more emotional distrust, TacoMan - No Kings Day is coming.
I watched all of the Christley's shows from the past & thought they were a phenomenal, funny family before they were found guilty of fraud. I will not watch another thing they put on TV ever!!!!!!!!
Criminals are going to lie. Bottom line they’re criminals like rump. Pardons are incredulous. Rump took bribes for the pardons.
What other Fn dumbass thing does he have to do before America does something about El Taco
Trump doesn't give a crap about anyone but himself.
I have a question for any Constitutional legal brains. IF the Dems take both the house and senate could they impeach Trump? Assuming they can, how would they remove him? Would they need to physically remove him? Who would do the heavy lifting?
Absolutely they could, but Vance is a smarter version of DJT. Better to just thwart all of Trump's efforts. The only way to control what is going on would be to impeach Trump and Vance, which would put the Speaker of the House in the seat. Not a very likely scenario.
Total bullshit "stress"
People who are sad excuses for human beings they deserve to be in jail, not out on the streets, spouting bullshit
Shouldn't the people of the US be able to sue trump for false information from his campaign? He lied all during his campaign and has caused a lot of anxiety and confusion for the citizens. If he can sue, we should be able to do so.
These people are disgusting.
I can say no more.
Fucking sociopathic grifters being enabled by a fucking sociopathic grifter.
I wouldn’t worry they will fuck up again and get arrested again. They always do when they dont learn the first time
What a felonious clown!
THANK YOU BEN & MICHAEL! finally someone talking about Leonard Leo who is part of Opus dei which is like a white Christian nationalism cult! Leonard Leo has been stacking supreme court for decades! Bought & paid for! Nothing they do is true Christianity! Miller represents MAGA & THESE 2 ARE bucking heads! All very dangerous!
So when Trump submits an emergency application, just say no and send him packing back to a lower court!!!
So today is the first time I've heard about Leonard Leo and the federalist society.
We need a giant graph of all the traitors groups and how they help the trump rogue regime, so we can work together to expose them and defund them.
Leonard leo helped stack republican supreme court for decades! Bought & paid for! Not enough people know this!
His mental anguish is caused by his dementia and his lack of basic understanding of almost everything.
No one hates America more than deceitful rump and his BS regime.
Donald Trump will each proceed lost his steel Nippon deal is by high tariffs a big lie USA has end in the 1930-1998 finish by producing steel in USA Pennsylvania and other state wide is not producing steel in USA Trump is blocked all what he can food price is so expensive Steel comes from China and Canada technology chips act by INVIDIA Apple is producing in China Donald Trump has no power in his terrible trade war
Well done gentlemen!
The so called "country club Republicans" created and continue to maintain fertile ground for MAGA. As far as I'm concerned, in practical terms there is little daylight between Leonard Leo and a run of the mill MAGA.
Are transcripts of podcasts available? I hate them and can read the information twice as fast. I always delete podcasts.
Now this trump crap. I wish you supported Joe Biden and you could stay.
Exactly. WAKE UP SUPREME COURT.
Do your job.
SAVE THE REPUBLIC FROM THIS MENACE and his illegal deeds!
Hope our more decent Supreme Court justices manage to stay healthy .
I wouldn’t bet against Steven Miller assisting a medical emergency to fall on one of them .
Our Supreme Court is already heavily
Heritage Foundation certified- Another Clarence Thomas would be Trumps sure pick - and Republicans would roll over to install a really abysmally corrupt unqualified justice .
That Florida Justice who heard the Trump Mar A Lago top secret documents comes to mind .
One entitled family. ☹️
You were found guilty and are felons ..nothing will ever make that go away
Take your pick you TRUMP SUCKINGCRIMINAL….Go to Hell…or Go back to Prison
Humility goes along Todd. Love your show. But you’re an ass !
These are awful people who deserve to be in prison.
Bless his heart! Crying about bowing down to the DOJ—without mentioning the bowing down to the “king” that’s been done on their behalf! Might as well buy new knee-pads before the next price increase.
The ONLY 2 people I want to see pardoned. Love the chrissl’s and I'm a blue blood Democrat so glad your family is back together.
Fucking scum is all they are
They don’t need people like you and I and everyone else to constantly remind the world what trash they are let’s expose their crimes one by one and let’s keep them in the public eye. You have to do this. It’s annoying as they are.
These people need viewers to stay on the air
These people are irrelevant and serve no practical purpose. Desperate for attention
Entitlement!!!! They are the only corruption and should be in prison!
So disgusting.
Sociopaths have no remorse.
Asshole stole $30 million.
Two duchebags
But…..in order to get a pardon don't you need to admit guilt?
Is he telling his woman to shut up? Interesting…🤔
Total condescending a-holes!
BS. No just kiss the ass of TACO
UNBELIEVABLE 😡🤬🤬🤬
Appreciate your complete coverage on all the happenings with the current government. OMG it just never ends and it is most serious and worrying to everyone.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I know he’s insignificant in the grand scheme of what we’re going through, but, for some reason this guy just pisses me off.
These two fraudulent reality show actors are Trump’s people.
I'm sure Trump is ok with the financial crimes, but I wonder if he's caught on that Chrisley is a gay man masquerading as a straight married Christian? His Project 2025 theocrats would surely disapprove🤨
I don't know the details of their crimes, but the smugness doesn't come off as people relieved that justice has prevailed.
Weirdos.
Please God, install a straight-to-hell slide. Just hide it behind a pretty fluffy little cloud.
Gross
You hadenty of time to show your evidence at your trial. You are the corruption!
💙💙💙
Un-effing believable!!!
BS. How much did you pay?
Fucking cunts.
Omg here's the billboard for GREED using “Jesus” as the catalyst. Sick sick sick.
Revised Q2 US GDP = 5.6%. More than double the annual GDP of any year from 2022-2024. That’s bidenomics for ya!
Ju$tice $erved by Otto-Pardon!: https://bsky.app/profile/opsan.bsky.social/post/3lqjepvxm4c2e
Criminals gonna crime, project, whine about being victims and not provide restitution to the victims of their greedy thievery. Punks. Go USA!
Fuck them and the network that has hired them.
The money that has been paid to trump for these pardons should be given to the people that were swindled out of it. Can these people sue trump to get their money back because of the pardons?
So Regan wasn't a strong trade guy - what does that make trump? A no trade guy?
What amount should we, the people, be suing him for because of the things that he is doing to us. I think it should be all off his money and business's. Anyone up for that lawsuit? Wouldn't it be nice to take every thing away from him? Wish it could be done.
AND YOU Must be GUILTY!!! Accept YOUR Responsibility!!!! #FDJT and #FtheCrissleys!!!
I don't get why nobody has pardoned Edward Snowdon. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Stop airing his face. Stop broadcasting that family.
Why is anyone listening to this pantywaist……
The American Dream !
What do you expect from a white man they never take responsibility for any of their lying, cheating, and stealing. Facts…see the last 309 hundred years in America.
Btw, He will probably get a cabinet position in the trump administration.
So basically the cuban & Venezuelan legal immigrants who can vote, voted for trump who is now deporting their own family/friends on TPS ! WAKE UP & EDUCATE YOURSELF BEFORE SUBMITTING A DAMN BALLOT!
Can we get pardoned from our mortgages?
Ethan thank you for all this info! Not enough people aware of all this!
That guy is so far in the closet he don’t know which way out is!!!
They're still as cringe worthy and disgusting as they ever were. They were horrible television and people then and will be worse now.
Dude, you defrauded banks when you take out business loans and don’t use them for what they are Intended for that’s fraud
Dirtbag
Can’t be MAGA if you ever take accountability. They’re always the victim.
These people will continue to commit crimes and will end up in jail again.
Bow down and accept RESPONSIBILITY
That’s it their ilk don’t want to be held accountable for their actions real piece of shit 💩
A little late to the party but here now! I had to chase you guys down by gifting myself with a subscription! Keep it up, Meidas!
Poster children for white privilege and entitlement. Go away
You have got to fucking kidding me!
Trump should be investigated for blackmail regarding the whole 60 minutes lawsuit...shameful nonsense!
Why didn't the Dems mention this little significant court IEPA?
Oh, you did it, you POS.
Resist the regime. We need the numbers! Don't sit this out. We are all at risk.
Insanity. Restitution swept away.
What a dirt ball!
Fucking liars
Please let’s stop showing these criminals. Thanks
Would criminal referrals of Trump's staff & Cabinet members (to DOJ?) by members of Congress be proper? I know they wouldn't go anywhere procedurally but maybe a march to the Hill with a lot of them would make the news and open some eyes. Trump's toadies and lawyers would be fair game.
So the crissleys sold one of their properties last year for $6M.
How much did they pay for their pardon? $5M seems reasonable for leaving prison 10yrs and 3yrs earlier and without any convictions.
I wonder if they'll sue the govt now? Would not surprise me at all.
ALOHA...
EAT THE NOVEAU RICHE.
Tariffs are the same grift he learned from his father. All County Supply, an LLC to mark up all materials for their business. He is the same type of falsifying business records Felon!
We are supposed to believe there's no way that a fraud and criminal would lie about their fraud and crimes.. produce this evidence that you say is fraudulent or shut the f******
Out with colored people and in with white people. If you don't see that you're color blind.
The white Africans will be working for trumps ICE Gestapo. They're musks friends and know all about apartheid. It only ended in late 1990's.
They don’t mind kissing Trump’s ass though. Hope they plan to stay on that path. Or back they will go where they belong. God will tend to them later since they obviously have no remorse for their sins.
So disgusting 🤢
Horrible people
Liar
I've been suffering from mental anguish ever since Trump has been in politics. Can I get any compensation for what he has done to my complete family? You don't dare talk politics and you're walking on eggs at family functions.
"Trump’s meltdown over his recent court losses and his attacks on the Federalist Society and Leonard Leo; his failing legal strategy surrounding tariffs and the courts’ response; his corrupt pardon scheme and blatant influence-peddling" Worst is yet to come. Donald "The Beast" Trump is building a wall once again. Colossal tariff wall that is the beginning of the end for the system of down. At first the beast will pull the plug out of the global economy. The worst financial crisis of human history will pull a swarm of the banks underwater and the bank run begins. Then the beast will collapse a mountain of debt shattering the backbone of the monetary system causing a systemic risk to realize. Finally the beast will cast American citizens into a system slavery under the name of Ronald Wilson Reagan, just to "honor his legacy" count the number. After the destruction a new world order will be established in the US. And the Golden Age begins from the ruins of the world wide collapse. All of the system slaves will love it. No more cash - just digital transactions. No more traditional criminal activity. No more tax evasion. No more transactions without the "all seeing eye". Outcasts will hate the world without freedom, hope and privacy. To cover up the mess and distract the public by smoke and mirrors, the beast will engage in a war with Iran. Lies and deceit, corruption and decay, dancing on the graves will continue. Until; Black hole sun, won't you come, won't you come... I want to play a game. Time has come to opt out of the empire of filth. Live or die...
If I hear more blather and meme posting about our disgusting TACO pres or rehashing the flying palace without NEW facts or a new angle, I'll be extremely disappointed with MTN.
Don't forget a;out his $5.1Billion deal to allow them to mfg AI chips with American technology. Who got the $$$5.1Billion?
Joni Ernst, and the other leaders need to spend two weeks as a homeless person living in a car and see what their laws and changes to health care, etc is like.
As a college student I spent three weeks in a third world country!!! Changed my life forever and how I view the USA. I really saw what a free USA means.
Ask those that were swindled to come on Fox screws! 👵🏻
Chrisley is sucking Trumps wang.
They are criminals and now they're LIARS just taco tRump
What would it take to have scotus reverse the immunity case?
I see we learned a lesson from all of this. 🤔🤨🤦🏻♀️
This is not the type of plastic that is recyclable. They’ll have to go in the landfill.
When he starts calling out Vought or Thiel or any member of the Heritage Fund...how long will they put up with it? Putin's usual method of putting down a rabid dog is some poison...let's see what the HF choses maybe they'll reveal their connections.
Trump is an amazing lunatic. And a useful idiot. If he wasn't surrounded by such clever and wealthy scumbags he'd be mopping floors.
These fucking buffoons are gloating!!!!
Shameful and disgusting MF’S!!!
Trump has no feelings to hurt; i.e., frivolous lawsuit. The two versions will be compared, any deletions will be found to have had no impactful on the statement. And, once again, Trump, as son Eric would claim, he will have poured enough concrete into the gears as to bury Jimmy Hoffa. No one doesn't already know this. Trump is constructed of Mike Lindell's pillows.
Thank you Ben from all us true Americans. We love you and pray for your health. Keep up the great fight.
Love you guys! Thank you!
Miller is evil and crazy.
Time To Go TACO
5150-47
Dammit JUST DO IT!!
Well, he is right about Leonard Leo. He is a scumbag! It takes on to know one!
Why is strumpy suddenly using talking points against his handlers? He's been bashing Putin lately in what I'm convinced is bs, now he's suddenly against the Federalist Society? It makes one wonder who else has gotten inside his head...
💙🇺🇸💙
He’s got no remorse because of all the great dck and a$$ he met behind bars.
Hey Benny Instead of talking to some huckster quasi assole attorney..report on what is happenning in the world... Trump is Trump...we all know that , What people do not know is the criminality of the fucking Jews.... Think abouit this,,,people as you order Taco Bell, and bitch about too much salt in your diet,,and the price of a Porsche tire pump
Israeli forces have demolished the Noura al-Kaabi Dialysis Hospital in northern Gaza, the only facility in the area providing life-saving treatment to kidney patients.
The hospital, located near Beit Lahiya, served dozens of patients from surrounding areas, including Beit Hanoun, Jabalia and the village of Umm al-Nasr.
Before today’s destruction, the facility had already been struck multiple times, damaging most of its dialysis machines and leaving only eight operational. The hospital has now been wiped out, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reports.
This latest attack comes amid a broader pattern of Israeli strikes on Gaza’s healthcare system. Hospitals and clinics across the besieged enclave have been repeatedly bombed, raided and rendered nonfunctional, leaving Palestinians with extremely limited access to medical care.
Instead of reporting on this why not talk about Trump using the alleged college persecution of Jews to usher in martial law... My god,,, you people are scary stupid, and I bet you send Benny Bullhit money to listen to his shit... Fucking amazing Who the fuck can stand his voice??? He fucking named his child after a weed he saw in his wedding garden
False advertising that this is advertising-free. We are subjected to The Popak Firm ambulance-chasing ads.
Fast forward past it if you don’t like it. It’s not an advertisement, but info. However, their show does have advertisements including discount codes if you wanna buy from advertisers. They never said they don’t have ads. Don’t understand English much? Or just like to complain?
Don’t watch then, petty jerk! Anything to whine and complain about. Must be a MAGAt troll.
Hey Benny... Your voice is intolerable You want to talk about something??? Talk about this shit.. Your clan of fools are always so concerned about being simpatico , fair, and pleasant see what the fuck they say about this.... Maybe suggest prayer Fuck u.. you are a fraudster
This is news
Israeli tanks and drones open fire on Palestinians gathered at aid distribution sites run by a US-backed group in Gaza, killing more than 30 people in Rafah alone.
That would be old ladies, orphans, dogs, rabbits cats etc.... You people bitch about yout cell phone dying. You are such a bunch of screened in porch shit balls..
This is Legal AF, about judicial and legal concerns. They don’t cover wars and things they aren’t experts in. They only do the law. If you don’t know that then you don’t know what Legal AF is about and are just aggressively being an a$$hole. There are plenty of organizations that cover the genocide, ask for donations, etc. Legal AF is not the place. Go help someone instead of bitching where it doesn’t belong. Jerk troll!
Thankyou, I've reported him twice
“You people “ a dead giveaway to an angry hostile noise machine .
Take your meds!!
Senator Ernst should get inline behind Sara Palin with the 2009 claim of death panels as part of healthcare reform. Shallow understanding of a healthcare safety net shines brightly in the MAGA world.
Ha the Saudis has help Trump in his first term for billion weapons deal between USA for invested in crypto market in Abu Dabi for Öl crypto exchange trading platform for his son’s children
💙💙💙
Even if those people mentioned were approved as federal judges, couldn't they be impeached and removed?
What does that say about the stupid fucking supreme shit court having given in full immunity. SHIT!
The citizens birth right in USA is a constitution of rules strong law if you’re born by American by parents or stay in USA long enough in USA more than ten twenty years you’re a American citizen Trump can not dismantle or remove this rules from the law
Donald Trump is a narcissist will trying deported Cuban documents Haiti Nicaraguan Venezuelan to El Salvador prison what come next maybe he will next deported millions immigrants coming or stay in America by generations in USA is born in USA has parents and grandparents in USA the white nationalist Trump party is a minority small group of Nazis is absurd he can not deported this citizen American
I still don't understand why SCOTUS keeps letting TOT (The Orange Thing) "stampede" it with phony "emergency" petitions. The Court is not obligated to take up every such petition, is it?
The so called budget bills' blatant applications will not pass. The bill will be decontructed and this entire charade will come to an end starting at the beginning of July up to September. Anonymous, ETA, Nato and many others will reveal that TACO is not a legitimate president. Smokey eyes won't take his place either. Drums will be rolling. Cannot wait.
thanks
If this nightmare Trump white MAGA extremists must protests in midterms and primary election early by impeach him for next election for president
No, don’t mince words, Ben. lol!
As always, Trump whines about everything. He's like a toddler.
Million Americans said when come the midterms elections or general elections will more fraud corruption in USA by Trump nationalist Party for 2028 we has saw in last election how corrupt is Trump spent millions dollars and seats in a Corrupt Supreme Court this court must smash down Donald Trump can’t a third term as President this will come a next nightmare for decades we has not a candidate for democracy elections is qualified candidates will defeat stop Donald Trump in 2028
Just for all you morons out there... The fact that she is popular does not mean that anybody takes her seriously. Paul McCartney is popular.That does not mean that he could be President. You people are really fucking idiots If this vamp twat is the face of the Democrats OMFG It has not even been a year since they were embarassed by a psychotic felon elected
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is more well-liked than President Donald Trump, former President Joe Biden, and former Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a new poll.
Despite the fact that Ocasio-Cortez can be polarizing even within her own party, she is still more popular than most currently active U.S. politicians, Newsweek reports.
This is scary insane But she is seen as a rock star not a serious politician,,, I am sure she makes too much noise when she fucks animals
That fake piece of shit , his wife also , I hope they suffer with that money.
ITS CALLED GENOCIDE!!!
Jesus fucking christ Benny... you have a horrible voice... Why the fuck do you think it is important to revisit three day old news... This gets very old... the entire world knows that Trump is a shit This is fucking nit news Talk about Zionist genocide!!!
Once again this was news Wednesday Morning... The people who are on this site are Kool Aid drinking morons, Popok is a fraud assole with his 7 pairs of glasses and chin pubic hair
Pete, what have you been drinking? 🥴🍺
It ia truly amazing You people all have the same comments all the time,,, It is fucking scary with your bottled water, backpacks, grub hub orders and Kool Aid sheep attitudes. No wonder we are fucked. It is as if all of you share the fucking same brain,, It is really astonishing
Talk about projection. You’re really talking about the cult of trump. Head in the sand until it directly hits you. Or you’re being paid to stir up crap. You won’t change minds by being condescending. Tell us why trump? What has he done that has made your life better?
You have no idea what projection is... What in the fucking world makes you think I like Trump... That is your mental illness. You people are all the same and that is you are very black and white. You think that there is only one sacred truth and it is what you believe. To point out the reality of slick Benny being a fraud does not mean pro Trump. If you fucking assoles were less preoccupied with manners and courtesy, maybe we would not have a fascist as President, I was protesting for the Democratic Party ,since before you were waiting for your teats to sprout... so have a great day,,,eat shit and go fuck yourself with meaning... Personally I think you need more oral sex in your life.
Petrov, is it Vodka? 🥴
You are truly angry. Why lash out so hysterically toward people that share, at least, some of your disdain for trump? If you'd like to adrs the genocide in Gaza...express yourself. Make a point. Yes MTN is missing the opportunity to highlight many issues. Call them out! The self inflicted genocide in Sudan is another source of horrible behavior. Hardly anyone is mentioning that. Cutting off USAID at the knees was insane and criminal. There are plenty of other podcasts...pick a few, expand your education. How many causes can MTN pick up the banner and run with? And yes there are a lot of people commenting here that apparently are not as in tune with the depth of what's going on in front, or worse, behind the scene. Maybe they're not at the same level of activism or anger or understanding. People have been lulled into satisfaction with the crumbs they're tossed. Waking up is a process. Racism...shit, 200 yrs and we're barely facing the issue, STILL.
Pete is 🥴
Pshaw
What's the word I'm looking for, he's wrong!
That was the funniest thing I've heard all day.
When I open your link, I get a pop-up saying you are a malicious site! So what's up?
Probably because it's not https: the 's' stands for secure.
