Since Trump won I have stopped watching main stream media and rely on sites like yours, Robert Reich, Heather Richardson and DU. It's the only way I will be able to keep my sanity during these next four years. The people texting you are bullies and are attempting to intimidate you. We all know that standing up to them weakens them. Laughing at them helps too. You do a great job. Keep up the good work.

They are more than bullies. They are domestic terrorists.

Exactly. Like the one who attacked Paul Pelosi. We have to be safe. I live in Washington State but even here...one day in October as I walked my dog on a nearby nature trail, I passed a man with his dog, enjoying the day. He looked back as he went by us and told me that it was good that I had protection. (My pitbulll, I guess). I was wondering why he said that and then it hit me. I had a Kamala 2024 t-shirt on that day. So, even here, Trump has emboldened people to say things and to feel things that they used to feel ashamed to say or feel.

They aren't even domestic terrorists. They want someone else to do their work for them. There's more illegals then there are border agents or military

They are. Ugh, watching Jim Jordan talk about needing someone heading the DOJ that won't name Catholic folks domestic terrorists...I remember why they did. It was the people harassing teachers in Florida. Well, not for long, right? The Department of Education is on the way out. Where is the FBI and DOJ now? Or during the election while Elon bought votes and ran ads pretending to be Harris?? WTF?

I wanted to know if he did. Maybe he didn't want to say it publicly to assure the person wouldn't know beforehand, so a knock on the door would be a surprise. That makes sense to me. I wouldn't tell anyone publicly if I were threatened, only close family or friends. Then it would be limited.

Message for Ben: MeidasMighty.....

During WW2 is took a coalition of many countries to make up the force that defeated the Axis powers. All progressive media sites NEED to form a type of coalition quidkly and stop being so fragmented.......show support for each other and know that we stand as ONE!!!!

If we form a mega alliance and then we can hold the line against Morons Are Governing America.

United we stand...divided we fall.........it is as simple as that.

We have 2 months to store supplies, plan strategy, research and infultrate the enemy.

Maggots want civil war.........We are fighting for our children...protect our women from mass rape and incarceration....protect innocent people seeking refuge.....save our environment from total degradation and again...rape......"AND WHEN WE FIGHT...WE WIN"

No. You mean killing the unborn. Some of those victims are female, but at the stage of development you're talking about "women" isn't appropriate.

> big increases

Bull shit.

> Orange killed Roe

You're a fanatic. TRUMP didn't do anything except appoint judges. SCOTUS took it from one battle to fifty. You should celebrate, as we are that much farther from an outright ban.

You voted for A RAPIST, you idiot. You voted in favor of rape culture and total misogyny. This is WHO YOU ARE. You can’t hide it anymore. We know you hate grown women - you see them as your property, for you to have sex with, and make you sandwiches, and obey you or some shit. You have no right to pretend any other way because you aligned yourself with woman-hating SCUM. So STFU. We SEE YOU.

Too many factors point towards something is amiss but yet all we do is list what dems did wrong & label some of us election deniers. I will concede but need to know we at least tried. Giving up & blaming ourselves feed right into trump/musk hands. How about some hand counts in certain voting areas? Red on top and blue all the way down a ticket is not logical...they nullify their own blue boxes with one red. You may believe in "a woman's choice" & vote blue on that box but trump's choice will be a "universal ban" when you vote red on that box. The 2 things that make me need to know these machines were not altered via Musk is Joe Rogan on his show Wednesday marveling at the fact that elon declared trump won 4 hours before the call was made... watch it , he's talking about the constant checking elon (on his phone?) was doing first... & of course Rachel Maddow the night of the election making her statement .

I believe you are absolutely right. The same brain power that has allowed all of us to see that man and his followers for who they truly are all this time (and the minority in this country) is also telling us that if he did win, it would have been by a very close margin. Not the majority vote for sure, so something is very amiss. It's his ego showing. He not only wanted to appear to take all of those states (but truly didn't) but his rampant narcissism pushed him to make it a majority by 4 million people. Don't buy it for one second. They are investigating now, but we already know that millions of votes for Kamala are just magically "missing?"

Even someone like me, who's not that politically savvy, but have been following as much information (on Meidas & a couple of other YT channels) as I can during the campaign leading up to the election, can feel that something is amiss about the results.

I've looked hoping that this was the case. It seems that people just didn't vote for one reason or another. I couldn't find any evidence of significant voter fraud. I really wanted to find it too.

Makes me fuckin’ angry. Ben, you may or not be familiar with Keith Olbermann who has had a long career as a liberal broadcaster. He has a podcast now. This morning he was talking about the dearth of progressive media. As he said, there is no progressive corporate media at all. In talking about what’s promising for our side the first and I believe the only thing he mentioned was the MeidasTouch Network! Also, he wants to retire but feels that no one wants to take the reigns. He wants to find someone who may use his expertise in production, for free. If you can, try to get hold of him. Also listen to his podcast on YouTube today. You will hear what I just told you. Good luck. Ps. Olbermann lives in New York City.
