I’m an American living in Germany. I am so very embarrassed of both what Hegseth and Vance have said in recent days here. I applaud what Herr Pistorius (German Defense Minister) said about Vance’s shameful speech.
I reported Kim the scammer troll. Do we really have 11 idiots on here that like, falls for this scam? It’s away for scammers to demand your bank account numbers to steal all you have.
Thank you for saying that - as a German who has many US friends I have not a single one saying they agree with or support the orange felon, Musk, Vance, Thiel, and his sycophants. Germany has to do more to cooperate with NATO, but there is a historic reason why Germany, after the second WW, was pushed towards a very peaceful country that used to be sceptical when it comes to the military. That changes more and more, particularly after Russia started its war against Ukraine. Further, as someone who is very much interested in US culture I came (once again) across a song that may become more and more relevant IF Trump's regime is getting stronger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DGY9HvChXk
That is exactly why Ukraine was backed by Biden. A lot of the American people believed it was senseless to aid them because it’s “not our war.” They could never see the big picture…🥲
Trump’s cult members weren’t smart enough to realize that last time. Maybe some of them will wake up; the rest will blame Biden and Obama because President Musk will tell them to.
This would trigger NATO Article 5, and I do not think that Russia can afford to have another frontline, irrespective of the US's likely abstention. After all, the UK and France are nuclear powers, and Russia's economy is already down the toilet - so another war would threaten Putin's survival (he does not care about Russia, but about his own and, perhaps to a certain extent, his family's well-being). However, if Ukraine is given up by the US, Putin will use his then renewed and increasing power to destabilise more and more countries of the EU. Hungary is essentially a Russian ally, the same seems to apply more and more to Slovakia even though there is more opposition than in Hungary. Also, most radical parties (in Germany, Italy, France, Austria, Romania, Bulgaria,...) are very pro-Russian/Putin. I'd rather expect these countries to adopt Russian policies and lose strength as a Union, in the NATO, and this is cheaper and perhaps more effective than waging another war. However, on the short run, I do expect Russia to start another invasion of Ukraine from Belarus. That country is much closer to Kiev and the industry centres of Ukraine. Russia will try to get hold of Ukraine, because the current US administration will most likely abandon it, unfortunately and very, very sadly, blaming Zelensky for his refusal to accept Putin keeping the occupied territories, not returning the stolen children of Ukrainian parents, and not paying restitutions. Already, Trump has never condemned Putin, but rather Ukraine for the war...what do you expect?
Didn't Poland have an extensive training program in the early days of the war? Many civilians were taught how to use and care for rifles and other basic survival skills.
The Polish civilians did this because they didn't want a repeat of Sep 1, 1939.
I am not talking about Russia ‘s intent. I am talking about their ability to actually “roll” through Poland. Do you think Poland will just say “uncle”? And that the other Baltic states, Czechia and Finland will just watch?
While Poland is working on possessing a robust and modern military, the combined strength of Poland, Finland, and Czechia alone may not suffice to counter a full-scale Russian invasion. (Finnish military is ranked 48th globally and I think Czech Republic is 53rd; USA is ranked 1st, then China, then Russia). However, the strategic advantage lies in their NATO membership.
You keep good company. There really is an amazing number of good people fighting this regime here in the US. Let’s hope we can build on it to get organized for the coming storm. Thankful we can rely on Meidas and so many other independents to show integrity and bring the truth.
Yes, we must not give up HOPE - tyrants hate almost nothing as much as their oppressed people's hope and unwillingness to surrender. Meidas is one of the most important sources of hope, I think.
I feel I, as an American, should apologize to all of you for that. Please let people know they only represent the 30% brainwashed, evil, dangerous extremists
I didn't listen to the whole speech as whenever Elon's Bitch, Muskrat or Vance talk, I throw up. But I did get the main points. Why aren't there death threats against them? Oh, right, because democrats don't do that. We need to fiercely protect our Constitution and democracy.
There are probably many threats against them. But, as I've said before the folks assigned to protect them may have a different agenda if and when someone they love and care for suffers under Trump's regime. Dangerous environment to be in.
I am new to substack and was browsing sites. I was shocked to find one that criticised Pistorius for attacking trump . I wanted to comment but wasn’t eligible. In what alternate universe is it OK for trump to verbally attack our allies and they should not call him out. MAGA is insane.
Unfortunately, it is not an alternate universe where it is OK for Trump to do this. It is here and now, and we are having to live in it thanks to the stupidly loyal Dems who did nothing to get that arrogant egotist Biden to fulfill his promise to be a one-term "bridge" President. I know Trump could have still won had Biden stepped down in 2023 as he should have, but Blue chances would have been so much better with an elected rather than appointed nominee.
As an American living in America I was embarrassed during DT’s first term and doubly embarrassed that this incompetent fool was elected again in spite of his lies, insults, felony convictions and obvious mental disorders. We all have reason to shake our heads in disgust and do everything we can to reverse this massive blunder.
Dana, if you are embarrassed for the spectacle given by the VP and the secretary of defense, just imagine how we feel. I know I'm speaking for many, please, accept our profound apologies.
It was very encouraging to see European leaders like Defense Minister Pistorius immediately take the stage and rake JD Mouthpiece over the coals. Stay strong, Europe! MOST people in this country are NOT appeasers.
Thanks Dana, yes, our Pistorius speak inmediately and very clear.
Comparing Hegseth and Pistorius: their competence have a big difference.
Now we in Germany and Europe have a big problem because Russia is invited to continue with taking more pieces of Europe...and the precious friendship with USA is broken.
This article of n-tv is one hour old (in german language) :
Agree. Not sure if you’ve seen the video of him, how he explained to Melania how he didn’t participate in the ‘golden showers’ Putin has on him. Saying she believed him because he is such a germophobe. Well, he outed himself when he allowed Satan’s spawn to wipe snot all over his ‘beautiful resolute desk’. Can’t get much germier than that. But we also see, as long as there is something in it for him, whether money or pleasure . . . then hey what’s a little bodily fluid swapping between friends, amirite? 🤣🤢
Yeah, saw it. She's just as stupid as he is. Greedy as well. I'd like to hear his pet name for her when he's angry. It's got to be a real zinger! First Tramp we've ever had in the WH and she had the nerve to compare herself to Jackqueline Kennedy.
Vlad's going to put them out after he totally outmaneuvers the orange one, takes over Ukraine, and before he goes out on his next assault. Poland? Belarus? Who knows.
I hear things like this and feel so very discouraged for the future. Families are divided; friends break up. It’s unbelievable that this is happening and yet it shows no signs of slowing down or improving.
I can’t get through to them because they won’t read anything negative about tRump. They won’t even acknowledge it. Instead they say I need to chill and I’m following the wrong outlets.😞Thank you for your support. 🤜🤛 in unity 💙🇺🇸💙
Same here, I have family and friends that are part of the Fox News cult. I have learned that there is no hope with trying to reason with them. So for my mental health, I have chosen to not communicate with them.
Give it time. When they are foiled in obtaining assistance (of any kind) and their phone calls to Frump go unanswered they'll be "speaking" loudly--probably with hat in hand.
I hope somehow you can let everyone there (well I know you can't reach everyone) that the majority of Americans are embarrassed and disgusted by them also and we applaud the Defense Minister for stating the situation so well.
I would venture to say that the Germans know that many Americans do not agree nor support the current administration. Maybe that’s just my wishful thinking 🤔 though.
Us too, please be patient, I’m sure there are more of us that side with NATO and Germany than side with MAGA. They are the enemy within IMHO. Totally embarrassing and I think much of what they say cannot be taken seriously. Look at his comment to GAZA threatening “All Hell Breaking Loose” if they don’t return all the hostages by Saturday. What happened? Absolutely nothing.
I communicate regularly with friends from Germany and they are appalled by what Hegseth and Vance said and even more appalled by Elon Musk giving a Hitler salute and supporting the Nazi party running for office in Germany. The good thing though, is they said that this has magnified how destructive the afd party really is.
AOC,Jasmine Crockett,Maxwell Frost !! Ben,please have them on Meidas !
Thanks,Meidas/Ron Filipkowski for this….😂
Rep. Jasmine Crockett responded to a post by a DOGE account claiming that she has a net worth of $9 million: “These people either have no relationship with the truth or really are dumber than bricks or both. I know one thing is true - they are intimidated, otherwise they wouldn’t waste their time trying to come up with outlandish stories. PLEASE POST the tax assessor links to my lavish cribs. I need to see the addresses and see if these people will give me keys since the properties are mine lol. I see y’all have dropped the fake husband scandal. Next I guess y’all will make up some kids and baby daddies - can’t let your feeble leader be the only one with a bunch of ex wives and baby mommas!”
He and Hawley are allegedly mountain an assault against banks and interest rates. Good but, I can't unsee Josh Hawley running for cover on JAN6 with his fist in the air supporting the attack on the Capitol. The bone I have to pick with Bernie is how his wife bankrupted a private school and got away with it.
So, I think they're trying to "do something" to get into the good graces of folks like us or keep the allegiance of others who believe in them.
Unfortunately, right now we need a leader who is a white, Christian male. As much as I think Biden was a truly great president, in hindsight, his biggest mistake was selecting a black woman as vice president. I loved Kamala. She would have been a terrific president but there are still too many bigots in this country who either voted for trump because they hated the idea of a woman president, especially a black woman or sat the election out for the same reason. I believe if Bidens VP pick had been a man, trump would have lost. I think it will be decades before another presidential candidate selects anyone as VP who is not white, Christian and male. It boggles my mind that Mexico can have a woman president, Germany did, Israel did in the 50s, even India did and yet the US is still stuck in the 19th century
yes, that's a huge problem. And the republicans are making sure they stay that way, cutting education funding, injecting religion into education and constantly inciting fear of anything that is not white, Christian and straight.
Interesting take. This white male patriarchal society is one reason we're in the cooking pot right now. I believe the winds of change are about and it's high time we stop looking for a white guy to "save" America. I'd go for a bunny rabbit if s/he had the moxy to get this Titanic 2.0 mess back on track.
I wish I was wrong with my take. Women leaders for the most part have been very effective, going back to the golden age of queen elizabeth l but right now there’s this wave of mysogeny going on in America that has turned a lot of young white men into crude women hating assholes. They want to go back to the dark ages where women were nothing more than unpaid servants with no rights. Re the white thing, undeniably whites men have been responsible for a large percentage of the world’s modernization. But could it be because POC and women weren’t given the chance to do likewise?
I completely agree with most of what you're saying, except regarding Biden's biggest mistake. His biggest mistake was not keeping his promise to be a one-term bridge President. That could and should have been addressed by the Dem leadership on 21 January 2021, so that in 2023 there would have been a real convention with an elected nominee for President. However, if Biden's hypothetical male VP had become the appointed nominee, you could indeed be right that he would have been elected.
I do think you are correct about electing a woman President now. While many Americans are open to a woman President, America (= Electoral College) is not. And that's the reality we have to deal with unless and until the Electoral College is gone. I hope if there is another election that the Dems will put aside their ridiculous loyalty/legacy mindset and nominate someone who can win.
I’d forgotten about the one term promise. Yes, that was a huge error on his part. He left the democrats with no time to pick a viable candidate and run an aggressive campaign.
We have many brave leaders in the House and the Senate, in independent media, in legal defense coalitions... WE THE PEOPLE MUST STAND UP. Looking for someone to "save us" is not a winning position.
And this welcoming every one is among the reasons the Blues were defeated. What do you think most Americans care more about: feeding/clothing/housing their families or provided gender-affirming treatment for prisoners?
If you think the right results "in a gradual loss of campers," you haven't been paying attention for the last 4 years. Trump got more votes in 2024 -- and more votes from groups that used to lean Blue -- than he did in his previous runs.
Both, I would hope. We can show compassion to all, can’t we?
King Donald is making you choose, which is divisive.
Yes he did get more votes, but the backlash to Covid, high prices and Me Too was widespread and not particular to the US.
In Canada, where I am, the rightwing party was all in on Rump, until our citizens got a look at the cruelty and chaos. Now they can’t run away fast enough. Better late than never I guess. We have a federal election coming in the spring, and the polls are swinging rapidly back to the status quo, the centre left. Best, Ter
It's likely Kamala actually won, but she was stuck with the "honorable" Democrat syndrome. It's a shitty (I could think of worse words, believe me!) situation we are in because of "honor" but if they had questioned the "integrity" of the election we would have been in Limbo. Catch 22...
no. not michelle. We'd have the same issue as with Kamala, actually probably worse. Same thing with Gayle's list below. Sadly, as much as many of these people are highly qualified, America doesn't seem to be ready to vote for a woman, or another black candidate. Obama was enough to send them over the edge which is why i believe Trump got elected in the first place. I really like Josh Shapiro. He's a man who gets things done. He'd be a terrific president. But he's Jewish. This country is full of bigots who would not vote for him simply because he's Jewish. I actually wish Andrew Cuomo would run. He was watched all over the world during covid. It ticks me off that his career got blown up because of the harassment thing, especially when EVERYONE knows that Trump is essentially a rapist. what's a little harassment compared to that? He would not only be a terrific president, he's a man that wouldn't let MAGA intimidate him.
Couldn't agree with you more, except about Shapiro. As bad as Harris was, I think had Shapiro been the VP, the Blues would have won the election. I have no idea who actually chose Walz, but he was most definitely the wrong choice. He brought nothing to the team and weakened it with his lies. And yes, they were lies. But then, I think Shapiro also lied . . . Guess that's just the reality of being a pol: you have to be a liar to even get in the door.
Hmm. Hard to say about Shapiro. Right now there is so much antisemitism. I don’t get it, really. If I had to rate a Jew against what passes for Christian these days and human kindness, willingness to be tolerant and intellectual curiosity were the measure, the Jew would come out on top every time.
Yes, the lying tends to be endemic in politics but the democrats lies seem to be pretty tame compared to the republicans which are toxic and in so many cases, outright dangerous.
You're so right about the quantity and quality of the lies. But MAGA seems to relish Blues getting caught lying about anything and use it to their advantage. Why the Blues feel the need to lie about some of the stuff they do is beyond me, but it's out there and it will be used to their detriment. Were I picking a candidate, one of the first things I'd ask is what have they lied about so it could be addressed immediately rather than trying to do damage control at critical times during the campaign.
What a great idea. It seems like a big part of democrats problem is they are forward thinking, naturally, which makes them idealists but also makes them naive. I’m like that. I get caught all the time by lies or dishonesty or outright criminality and it’s because, I would never do that kind of things so I’m shocked when other people do. I think democrats tend to be a bit like that. Remember when Michelle Obama said, when they go low, we go high? That’s what I’m talking about and that is so naive. The Republicans are laughing all the ways to being elected when we do that. I say bullshit. Sadly, we need to get down in the trenches and be willing to fight a little dirty
She's done her duty and says she no longer considers herself a "public person" which supposedly is the reason she skipped former President Carter's funeral. After what she, Barack, and their daughter went through as they tried to represent all of us I don't blame her for sitting this fight out.
I like AOC but as a senior citizen I think Jamie Raskin or Sheldon White House also speak to my generation. I think we need both, moderate and Progressive voices.
You're in the right place for truth, transparency and leadership. Don't despair. There's more going on behind the scenes than what is publicly known. Hang tough. Never give up!
The Blues don't have a leader. The Blues lost when the Dems went with loyalty to the arrogant, egotistical Biden instead of demanding he step down as the "bridge" President he promised he'd be. The Blues scorn the loyalty of Trump's base, but then the Blues get Jill Biden knocking Nancy Pelosi for saying Biden needs to go because Pelosi and the Bidens were friends for more than 20 years. So the good of the country was supposed to take a back seat to loyalty to Joe. Yes, the election still could have gone to Trump, but the Blues would have had a far better chance with an elected nominee rather than an appointed one.
Good morning Ben and Happy Sunday!! How is the family I hope all is well as usual!! I am a southern lady and I will always ask about your family and you that’s just my Nature!! I had a cup of coffee this morning and it was straight up black no sugar or cream my taste buds changed after having and surviving Breast Cancer!! Listen trump is not a Rottweiler you know not a big dog!! He’s lil Puppy and you’re right all damn bark and no bite!! I come simply as a MeidasMighty and to say Thank you unofficial Mayor of SubStack!! You and your family enjoy your Day, Many Blessings and as Always Thank you all for what y’all Do!! That’s All!!
Fantastic work Ben but do take time out to spend with your wife and daughter. We know you’re very passionate about the cause, and we appreciate that, but not at the expense of your family. Blessings and do be safe.
Isn't there something our country can do to oust Elon Musk? Then we can work on IMPEACHMENT of Trump? Oh, I'm enjoying my cup of French Vanilla Cappuccino 😋
Musk was given the go-ahead to “go wild” by Trump. So this carte blanche allows him to go anywhere he wants and break any laws he wants — I keep reading that the rule of law will prevail and he and his band of Lost Boys will be put out of business . . . When?
Word on the street (WOTS) is there is a behind-the-scenes effort to get his racist butt out of America. The problem is Trump has no control over him. We saw that recently when Trump was in "time out" seated at his desk with handles clasped while Musk's son insulted him.
Trump underestimated Musk just as Moscow Mitch underestimated Trump! Trump doesn't own his own butt right now and Musk has the receipts to "prove" he purchased the presidency leaving Trump little more than a PINO.
The people catering to Trump and Musk are doing what they believe will hold sway with one or both of them. Power in the hands of a maniac can be frightening. Some folks I assume hate them both, but the Dark Duo is driving the bus. The pushback is ongoing and the results will likely be unveiled in the not too distant future. Yesterday would have been just fine.
Let's not wait. We should be supporting Valimont and Weil in the Florida special elections NOW. Even if we aren't Florida.residents there are volunteer opportunities and of course donations always help for people that are able.After that, the NY special edition as well as any state elections.
On Pod Save America, they spoke about discussing personal stories of how these cuts, etc. affect regular people. That’s what Bill Clinton did and he was able to reach people that way
I'm sure I'm not the first one to float this idea, but here goes: could Meidas (or the Bulwark, or anyone) set up daily press briefings, open to all capitol correspondents, conveniently close geographically and immediately following Karoline Leavitt's briefings? Maybe get Private Citizen Pete Buttigieg or even Private Citizen Adam Kinzinger to conduct the briefings? Who could spearhead such a media onslaught of actual truth-telling? It's just a thought.
I came across this idea and absolutely love it...what if all of the Democrats boycott the State of the Union address AND AT THE SAME TIME hold their own address to counter all the lies that will be coming out of the SOTU. They don't show up to listen to the lies but hold an event to talk about the REAL state of our Union. Bring in the fired employees, the Inspector Generals, the heroes that have been standing up for the rule of law....How do we get this message out to them universally to make it happen???
Love this idea! Thank you. I hope it happens. We are in desperate and immediate need for a unification on the left, no it's in fact the need of unification of sanity, truth and to safe our great democracy! So grateful for Medias and everyone who cares and takes action!
Everyone needs to relay the idea to their representatives. The people can push to make it happen. The hell with tradition and decorum! We’re in a different place right now and all stops have to be pulled!
I have emailed my senators and told them "we the people suggest all democrates boycott trumps state of the union address". That'll be good press around the world.
Morning! Glad to have some coffee with you Ben! I’m always up at 4:30 am. Seizing The Day! See you on MTN, you Tube for the Videos! All things Meidas. Always.
Propaganda from The Right, we remain focused on Pro Democracy. No Kings!
Some of the finest legal minds in the nation are right here with us. Trust and believe they're not waiting for 2028 to take definitive action against Trump and Project 2025 actors.
Hi. I’m in UK. Watch you every night. As do couple of my mates. You keep us up todate with what’s going on in the madness of your leaders. This affects us here too, we are worried. I’m a post war babe, I’ve studied modern history academically, it’s scary what’s happening now is so similar to Hitler pre WWII.
I’m reading your post as I too have my black coffee. Thanks for bringing us the news of the week and standing up and for decency and truth telling in journalism. I’m grateful each day to be able to come here and know I can trust what you post to be true.
I’m an American living in Germany. I am so very embarrassed of both what Hegseth and Vance have said in recent days here. I applaud what Herr Pistorius (German Defense Minister) said about Vance’s shameful speech.
Believe you me, we are all embarrassed!
Spam. Reported.
Thanks Jane. 👏 It's getting old and tired.
This poster keeps changing names and reposting the same spam as if none of us are smart enough to notice. 🤦♀️

Exactly! What a dunce.
Yup, I reported it as well.
Yes, Ma'am, Jane and Ditto!
SCAM
Make sure you report this as spam. Substack will remove it.
Give up already you loser
Report as spam so it will be removed.
I've reported it as well as it pops up in so many substacks.
I reported Kim the scammer troll. Do we really have 11 idiots on here that like, falls for this scam? It’s away for scammers to demand your bank account numbers to steal all you have.
I just wanted to clarify I was calling the bot a loser. Not my MeidasMighty friends.

I am slightly concerned that without the USA’s direct involvement, Russia will roll right into Poland and … right into us!!!! What are your thoughts ?
That is exactly why Ukraine was backed by Biden. A lot of the American people believed it was senseless to aid them because it’s “not our war.” They could never see the big picture…🥲
My feelings exactly. Isn’t that exactly what hitler did?
Yes, you are right. And that raised arm salute by musk was no accident. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Yup welcome to Hitler 2.0
Today Poland, tomorrow the world
Poland always gets screwed.
Whuut we too nice?
I heard Germany conquered Poland by marching in backwards and Polacks thought they were leaving.
Those Americans who couldn’t see what could happen.. also couldn’t find their ass with both hands in a dark room
Zalenskyy said just this in his interview on Meet the Press today.
They complained about our helping Ukraine financially. Wait till they realize who is helping the RICH ONLY.
Trump’s cult members weren’t smart enough to realize that last time. Maybe some of them will wake up; the rest will blame Biden and Obama because President Musk will tell them to.
They are brainwashed to say that . But but but Biden, Obama, Hillary, that laptop of Hunters . Not us ,anybody else but us. Hypocrites
This would trigger NATO Article 5, and I do not think that Russia can afford to have another frontline, irrespective of the US's likely abstention.

Let’s get down to BUSINESS. Great coffee talk.
I’m not so sure they’ll be able to just “roll right into Poland.”
They will, and with The Orange Turd's total blessing!
(Just a side note. Many of the Polish people in Chicago voted for the Turd.
I just can't understand why, especially if they lived through the years when the Soviet Union had control over Poland.)
Mary not dead yet?
Bullets still cheap.
It took Nazi Germany only a few DAYS to "conquer" Poland. We must be vigilant!
Didn't Poland have an extensive training program in the early days of the war? Many civilians were taught how to use and care for rifles and other basic survival skills.
The Polish civilians did this because they didn't want a repeat of Sep 1, 1939.
Unfortunately, I disagree. And I am not alone in feeling that this is a very real possibility.
I am not talking about Russia ‘s intent. I am talking about their ability to actually “roll” through Poland. Do you think Poland will just say “uncle”? And that the other Baltic states, Czechia and Finland will just watch?
While Poland is working on possessing a robust and modern military, the combined strength of Poland, Finland, and Czechia alone may not suffice to counter a full-scale Russian invasion.

I’m
Concerned as well !! Trump is acting on behalf of Putin’s wishes.
I am also very concerned. Trump and Musk and Vance are handing the US to Putin.
I think it’s way past time to be slightly concerned.
Get an Ar 15 they’re cheap !
Make it automatic!
Ask any red state asshole how to do that!
Then blast any Republican u see.
Three of them assholes in my family.
Oh well Civil war is going on right now.
It’s fucking war!
You gonna fight?
Kill em!
Or ur kids die.
We share your fear, Dana.
150000 troops are being amassed in Belarus. Maybe to invade Poland and the Baltics. Maybe to invade Kyiv.
Damm right get ur guns!
You keep good company. There really is an amazing number of good people fighting this regime here in the US. Let’s hope we can build on it to get organized for the coming storm. Thankful we can rely on Meidas and so many other independents to show integrity and bring the truth.
Yes, we must not give up HOPE - tyrants hate almost nothing as much as their oppressed people's hope and unwillingness to surrender. Meidas is one of the most important sources of hope, I think.
Thank u Peg it’s up to us 😊
Absolutely.
Yea
Yes
Yes
… please
That song always gets me…😢
Wow. I had never heard that powerful ballad. She was amazing. Heaven help us all.
Have you heard Nina Simone's "Mississippi Goddam"?
Yes. She also said: "You have to learn to get up from the table when love is no longer being served."
Yess! Nina S, MS Goddamn!
Vielen Dank! We, who Think Critically (Some of US remember...) stand awestruck at the Realpolitik before us! Ich werde Mexikanisch sobald möglichst!
I would go Canadian. But, Mexico is beautiful.
I feel I, as an American, should apologize to all of you for that. Please let people know they only represent the 30% brainwashed, evil, dangerous extremists
In Sweden we know, and we feel for you. 💕 I guess both of us are in a troublesome postion. The orange clown is spreading misery all over.
Do not worry Cecilia.
We know
We are forced to put every one in the same “cauldron”, but … we know that there are some making use of their one minds and common sense.
We, around the world, appreciate and praise you all.
Please keep “fighting” in our usual not violent way.
That will save us all from the “doom”
Thank you, Cecilia.
Sincerely appreciated
In unity🤜🤛💙🇺🇸💙 We are the free world!
Renato. I appreciate your phrase, " (our) one minds"! Thanks for grouping us together in One Mind!!
Thank you! We all need to show the resistance to this regime! 💙🇺🇸💙🤜🤛
That 30% is TOO DAMN High! Kick that TURD Leg Off the Three-legged STOOL that they are Wallowing in!(KerSpatt!) Da TURD Reich REEKS!!
Hawaiian sovereignty. Cascadia, Northern states join Canada. Abandon the red state Confederacy to FELON tRump and / unelected president Musk
I apologize as well. Please do not lump us in with the Maganuts.
I didn't listen to the whole speech as whenever Elon's Bitch, Muskrat or Vance talk, I throw up. But I did get the main points. Why aren't there death threats against them? Oh, right, because democrats don't do that. We need to fiercely protect our Constitution and democracy.
How easy to understand you and share your feelings
There are probably many threats against them. But, as I've said before the folks assigned to protect them may have a different agenda if and when someone they love and care for suffers under Trump's regime. Dangerous environment to be in.
I am new to substack and was browsing sites. I was shocked to find one that criticised Pistorius for attacking trump . I wanted to comment but wasn’t eligible. In what alternate universe is it OK for trump to verbally attack our allies and they should not call him out. MAGA is insane.
The cult responds poorly to when Dear Leader is called out.
Unfortunately, it is not an alternate universe where it is OK for Trump to do this. It is here and now, and we are having to live in it thanks to the stupidly loyal Dems who did nothing to get that arrogant egotist Biden to fulfill his promise to be a one-term "bridge" President. I know Trump could have still won had Biden stepped down in 2023 as he should have, but Blue chances would have been so much better with an elected rather than appointed nominee.
Should, Would could, but ALAS, Here we are, and r.e.s.i.s.t. we MUST, PPL!
Hindsight is always 20:20.
Which one was this?!
As an American living in America I was embarrassed during DT’s first term and doubly embarrassed that this incompetent fool was elected again in spite of his lies, insults, felony convictions and obvious mental disorders. We all have reason to shake our heads in disgust and do everything we can to reverse this massive blunder.
Dana, if you are embarrassed for the spectacle given by the VP and the secretary of defense, just imagine how we feel. I know I'm speaking for many, please, accept our profound apologies.
I join you in apologizing to the Germans - as an American living here in Germany, I felt ashamed. I … cannot believe this is happening.
It was very encouraging to see European leaders like Defense Minister Pistorius immediately take the stage and rake JD Mouthpiece over the coals. Stay strong, Europe! MOST people in this country are NOT appeasers.
Jane, thanks for the "j.d.Mouthpiece" epithet! I Collect such names regarding daTURD REEK!
Thanks Dana, yes, our Pistorius speak inmediately and very clear.
Comparing Hegseth and Pistorius: their competence have a big difference.
Now we in Germany and Europe have a big problem because Russia is invited to continue with taking more pieces of Europe...and the precious friendship with USA is broken.
This article of n-tv is one hour old (in german language) :
https://www.n-tv.de/politik/Die-USA-stellen-Europas-Sicherheitsstrategie-auf-die-Probe-was-steht-fuer-Deutschland-auf-dem-Spiel-article25566279.html
Thanks for sharing the article. I can only pray that this will not happen -
Oliver, Danke vielmals!
Yes, he gave them a good spanking! Glad to see the couch potato was a flop!
Good one! And, he's not done "flopping."
Best thing to do is ignore anything anybody in Trump’s orbit says. It’s all bluster cuz Putin has Trump’s small dick piss tapes.
USA is only half what it was a month ago. And power is draining fast.
Don’t be afraid.
Just fight these assholes.
Agree. Not sure if you’ve seen the video of him, how he explained to Melania how he didn’t participate in the ‘golden showers’ Putin has on him. Saying she believed him because he is such a germophobe. Well, he outed himself when he allowed Satan’s spawn to wipe snot all over his ‘beautiful resolute desk’. Can’t get much germier than that. But we also see, as long as there is something in it for him, whether money or pleasure . . . then hey what’s a little bodily fluid swapping between friends, amirite? 🤣🤢
Yeah, saw it. She's just as stupid as he is. Greedy as well. I'd like to hear his pet name for her when he's angry. It's got to be a real zinger! First Tramp we've ever had in the WH and she had the nerve to compare herself to Jackqueline Kennedy.
TrAmp! Good one!
The pee pee tape lives !!! Sooner or later it is going to "leak" out 😆
"Just fight these assholes." Great sentiment that millions undoubtedly feel, but where's the specifics on HOW to EFFECTIVELY fight them?
Vlad's going to put them out after he totally outmaneuvers the orange one, takes over Ukraine, and before he goes out on his next assault. Poland? Belarus? Who knows.
I can only imagine what you’re feeling—here in the USA, we get ridiculed by the magats and their supporters. Some by their own family.💙🇺🇸💙
I hear things like this and feel so very discouraged for the future. Families are divided; friends break up. It’s unbelievable that this is happening and yet it shows no signs of slowing down or improving.
Truth. Two of my brothers and two of my sisters no longer speak to me.
I can’t get through to them because they won’t read anything negative about tRump. They won’t even acknowledge it. Instead they say I need to chill and I’m following the wrong outlets.😞Thank you for your support. 🤜🤛 in unity 💙🇺🇸💙
I get a similar message, but it's for my mental health, to calm down. But but but... gotta DO something...
Same here, I have family and friends that are part of the Fox News cult. I have learned that there is no hope with trying to reason with them. So for my mental health, I have chosen to not communicate with them.
Give it time. When they are foiled in obtaining assistance (of any kind) and their phone calls to Frump go unanswered they'll be "speaking" loudly--probably with hat in hand.
I am so sorry.
That is so very sad. I'm sorry you are going through this.
What signs? I'd really like some good news for a change.
I hope somehow you can let everyone there (well I know you can't reach everyone) that the majority of Americans are embarrassed and disgusted by them also and we applaud the Defense Minister for stating the situation so well.
I would venture to say that the Germans know that many Americans do not agree nor support the current administration. Maybe that’s just my wishful thinking 🤔 though.
I think you are right! Hope so anyway!
I know several GOOD Germans, and I am pretty they know we're not All turdheads
Us too, please be patient, I’m sure there are more of us that side with NATO and Germany than side with MAGA. They are the enemy within IMHO. Totally embarrassing and I think much of what they say cannot be taken seriously. Look at his comment to GAZA threatening “All Hell Breaking Loose” if they don’t return all the hostages by Saturday. What happened? Absolutely nothing.
I communicate regularly with friends from Germany and they are appalled by what Hegseth and Vance said and even more appalled by Elon Musk giving a Hitler salute and supporting the Nazi party running for office in Germany. The good thing though, is they said that this has magnified how destructive the afd party really is.
Glad to hear that!
Yes. His speech was horrifying and surreal. I hope the world is boycotting all U.S. products.
Yes, WORLD: BOYCOTT US!( UGLY amurrkunz DESERVE Such Treatment!!!)
With 4 million Meidas subscribers and 20 million regular monthly Substack users I’d say the word is out. Hot coffee and cool beans! 🫘
Uplifting. Thanks for pointing that out
Hot Dang! Yeah!!!
We need a leader! Kamala went crickets. So did Liz. We are running out of time to get the ship corrected.
AOC,Jasmine Crockett,Maxwell Frost !! Ben,please have them on Meidas !
Thanks,Meidas/Ron Filipkowski for this….😂
Rep. Jasmine Crockett responded to a post by a DOGE account claiming that she has a net worth of $9 million: “These people either have no relationship with the truth or really are dumber than bricks or both. I know one thing is true - they are intimidated, otherwise they wouldn’t waste their time trying to come up with outlandish stories. PLEASE POST the tax assessor links to my lavish cribs. I need to see the addresses and see if these people will give me keys since the properties are mine lol. I see y’all have dropped the fake husband scandal. Next I guess y’all will make up some kids and baby daddies - can’t let your feeble leader be the only one with a bunch of ex wives and baby mommas!”
Bernie!
I'm a Vermonter and got word that he's going out on tour this week!
My sister lives in Vermont! Canadians are embedded all through the US.
We really think (thought) of the US as family, until Trump shivved us.
Making connections through communities like this, is how we win!
Stronger together!
Yes half of my family lives in the USA and has done for generations. This turd came along and tried to destroy us. America, you can’t let him. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Spot on!
Watch Bernie Sanders rallies from this weekend. MAGA Republicans don’t have a plan they just revolt against what the decency that Democrats want.
He’s just the other side of tRump.
I disagree. He fights for the working class. He's independent but progressive and recognizes the underlying problem with the money going to the top.
He and Hawley are allegedly mountain an assault against banks and interest rates. Good but, I can't unsee Josh Hawley running for cover on JAN6 with his fist in the air supporting the attack on the Capitol. The bone I have to pick with Bernie is how his wife bankrupted a private school and got away with it.
So, I think they're trying to "do something" to get into the good graces of folks like us or keep the allegiance of others who believe in them.
In an angel/devil kind of way?
If he's got a reputation of being a voice of the people, why wouldn't we want him shouting from the rooftops right now??? Why would that hurt?
Unfortunately, right now we need a leader who is a white, Christian male. As much as I think Biden was a truly great president, in hindsight, his biggest mistake was selecting a black woman as vice president. I loved Kamala. She would have been a terrific president but there are still too many bigots in this country who either voted for trump because they hated the idea of a woman president, especially a black woman or sat the election out for the same reason. I believe if Bidens VP pick had been a man, trump would have lost. I think it will be decades before another presidential candidate selects anyone as VP who is not white, Christian and male. It boggles my mind that Mexico can have a woman president, Germany did, Israel did in the 50s, even India did and yet the US is still stuck in the 19th century
Sadly too many racists, white trash , uneducated.
yes, that's a huge problem. And the republicans are making sure they stay that way, cutting education funding, injecting religion into education and constantly inciting fear of anything that is not white, Christian and straight.
Agree.
Don't forget Canada! The Honourable Kim Campbell.
Oh, forgot about her. yes, add her to the list.
Add England to the list 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Yes! See, what the hell is wrong with the US that they are so backwards. I forgot about the Iron Maiden.
Interesting take. This white male patriarchal society is one reason we're in the cooking pot right now. I believe the winds of change are about and it's high time we stop looking for a white guy to "save" America. I'd go for a bunny rabbit if s/he had the moxy to get this Titanic 2.0 mess back on track.
I wish I was wrong with my take. Women leaders for the most part have been very effective, going back to the golden age of queen elizabeth l but right now there’s this wave of mysogeny going on in America that has turned a lot of young white men into crude women hating assholes. They want to go back to the dark ages where women were nothing more than unpaid servants with no rights. Re the white thing, undeniably whites men have been responsible for a large percentage of the world’s modernization. But could it be because POC and women weren’t given the chance to do likewise?
I completely agree with most of what you're saying, except regarding Biden's biggest mistake. His biggest mistake was not keeping his promise to be a one-term bridge President. That could and should have been addressed by the Dem leadership on 21 January 2021, so that in 2023 there would have been a real convention with an elected nominee for President. However, if Biden's hypothetical male VP had become the appointed nominee, you could indeed be right that he would have been elected.
I do think you are correct about electing a woman President now. While many Americans are open to a woman President, America (= Electoral College) is not. And that's the reality we have to deal with unless and until the Electoral College is gone. I hope if there is another election that the Dems will put aside their ridiculous loyalty/legacy mindset and nominate someone who can win.
I’d forgotten about the one term promise. Yes, that was a huge error on his part. He left the democrats with no time to pick a viable candidate and run an aggressive campaign.
We have many brave leaders in the House and the Senate, in independent media, in legal defense coalitions... WE THE PEOPLE MUST STAND UP. Looking for someone to "save us" is not a winning position.
Plus our left leaning tent always has it's flap open. We welcome every one.
The right kind of limits entry to their tent, resulting in a gradual loss of campers!
We've got this!
Love Canada
And this welcoming every one is among the reasons the Blues were defeated. What do you think most Americans care more about: feeding/clothing/housing their families or provided gender-affirming treatment for prisoners?
If you think the right results "in a gradual loss of campers," you haven't been paying attention for the last 4 years. Trump got more votes in 2024 -- and more votes from groups that used to lean Blue -- than he did in his previous runs.
Both, I would hope. We can show compassion to all, can’t we?
King Donald is making you choose, which is divisive.
Yes he did get more votes, but the backlash to Covid, high prices and Me Too was widespread and not particular to the US.
In Canada, where I am, the rightwing party was all in on Rump, until our citizens got a look at the cruelty and chaos. Now they can’t run away fast enough. Better late than never I guess. We have a federal election coming in the spring, and the polls are swinging rapidly back to the status quo, the centre left. Best, Ter
Agree. I am very annoyed at Kamala’s inaction during the vote counting when some results seemed suspect and now. Very disappointing!
It's likely Kamala actually won, but she was stuck with the "honorable" Democrat syndrome. It's a shitty (I could think of worse words, believe me!) situation we are in because of "honor" but if they had questioned the "integrity" of the election we would have been in Limbo. Catch 22...
Point well taken.
We can still pull Michelle up.
no. not michelle. We'd have the same issue as with Kamala, actually probably worse. Same thing with Gayle's list below. Sadly, as much as many of these people are highly qualified, America doesn't seem to be ready to vote for a woman, or another black candidate. Obama was enough to send them over the edge which is why i believe Trump got elected in the first place. I really like Josh Shapiro. He's a man who gets things done. He'd be a terrific president. But he's Jewish. This country is full of bigots who would not vote for him simply because he's Jewish. I actually wish Andrew Cuomo would run. He was watched all over the world during covid. It ticks me off that his career got blown up because of the harassment thing, especially when EVERYONE knows that Trump is essentially a rapist. what's a little harassment compared to that? He would not only be a terrific president, he's a man that wouldn't let MAGA intimidate him.
Couldn't agree with you more, except about Shapiro. As bad as Harris was, I think had Shapiro been the VP, the Blues would have won the election. I have no idea who actually chose Walz, but he was most definitely the wrong choice. He brought nothing to the team and weakened it with his lies. And yes, they were lies. But then, I think Shapiro also lied . . . Guess that's just the reality of being a pol: you have to be a liar to even get in the door.
Hmm. Hard to say about Shapiro. Right now there is so much antisemitism. I don’t get it, really. If I had to rate a Jew against what passes for Christian these days and human kindness, willingness to be tolerant and intellectual curiosity were the measure, the Jew would come out on top every time.
Yes, the lying tends to be endemic in politics but the democrats lies seem to be pretty tame compared to the republicans which are toxic and in so many cases, outright dangerous.
You're so right about the quantity and quality of the lies. But MAGA seems to relish Blues getting caught lying about anything and use it to their advantage. Why the Blues feel the need to lie about some of the stuff they do is beyond me, but it's out there and it will be used to their detriment. Were I picking a candidate, one of the first things I'd ask is what have they lied about so it could be addressed immediately rather than trying to do damage control at critical times during the campaign.
What a great idea. It seems like a big part of democrats problem is they are forward thinking, naturally, which makes them idealists but also makes them naive. I’m like that. I get caught all the time by lies or dishonesty or outright criminality and it’s because, I would never do that kind of things so I’m shocked when other people do. I think democrats tend to be a bit like that. Remember when Michelle Obama said, when they go low, we go high? That’s what I’m talking about and that is so naive. The Republicans are laughing all the ways to being elected when we do that. I say bullshit. Sadly, we need to get down in the trenches and be willing to fight a little dirty
She's done her duty and says she no longer considers herself a "public person" which supposedly is the reason she skipped former President Carter's funeral. After what she, Barack, and their daughter went through as they tried to represent all of us I don't blame her for sitting this fight out.
Malcom Nance. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes, Jasmne Crocket, Swalwell, Kenyatta . . . there are a few emerging.
I like AOC but as a senior citizen I think Jamie Raskin or Sheldon White House also speak to my generation. I think we need both, moderate and Progressive voices.
I'm a co inventor of the Internet.
1980.
I've got a new Outernet idea Sam Altman hopefully helping me.
I agree! So disappointing. Katie Porter is a tough one - maybe she will step in?
You're in the right place for truth, transparency and leadership. Don't despair. There's more going on behind the scenes than what is publicly known. Hang tough. Never give up!
The Blues don't have a leader. The Blues lost when the Dems went with loyalty to the arrogant, egotistical Biden instead of demanding he step down as the "bridge" President he promised he'd be. The Blues scorn the loyalty of Trump's base, but then the Blues get Jill Biden knocking Nancy Pelosi for saying Biden needs to go because Pelosi and the Bidens were friends for more than 20 years. So the good of the country was supposed to take a back seat to loyalty to Joe. Yes, the election still could have gone to Trump, but the Blues would have had a far better chance with an elected nominee rather than an appointed one.
Good morning Ben and Happy Sunday!! How is the family I hope all is well as usual!! I am a southern lady and I will always ask about your family and you that’s just my Nature!! I had a cup of coffee this morning and it was straight up black no sugar or cream my taste buds changed after having and surviving Breast Cancer!! Listen trump is not a Rottweiler you know not a big dog!! He’s lil Puppy and you’re right all damn bark and no bite!! I come simply as a MeidasMighty and to say Thank you unofficial Mayor of SubStack!! You and your family enjoy your Day, Many Blessings and as Always Thank you all for what y’all Do!! That’s All!!
Congrats on beating cancer! You're obviously a fighter. My sister went through that, and she is one of the strongest people I know. Stay healthy!
Thank you so so much! Blessings to your sister!! It was a hard road to haul as we southerners say! Happy Sunday!!
😊
Fantastic work Ben but do take time out to spend with your wife and daughter. We know you’re very passionate about the cause, and we appreciate that, but not at the expense of your family. Blessings and do be safe.
Yes, yes. Agree!
Isn't there something our country can do to oust Elon Musk? Then we can work on IMPEACHMENT of Trump? Oh, I'm enjoying my cup of French Vanilla Cappuccino 😋
Musk was given the go-ahead to “go wild” by Trump. So this carte blanche allows him to go anywhere he wants and break any laws he wants — I keep reading that the rule of law will prevail and he and his band of Lost Boys will be put out of business . . . When?
Word on the street (WOTS) is there is a behind-the-scenes effort to get his racist butt out of America. The problem is Trump has no control over him. We saw that recently when Trump was in "time out" seated at his desk with handles clasped while Musk's son insulted him.
Trump underestimated Musk just as Moscow Mitch underestimated Trump! Trump doesn't own his own butt right now and Musk has the receipts to "prove" he purchased the presidency leaving Trump little more than a PINO.
The Rule of Law won't touch Trump and his thugs. It's a myth that in America no one is above the law. That's never been true.
Many of us north of your border are wondering the same thing. From everything I understand, he has no authority yet so many are caving before him.
The people catering to Trump and Musk are doing what they believe will hold sway with one or both of them. Power in the hands of a maniac can be frightening. Some folks I assume hate them both, but the Dark Duo is driving the bus. The pushback is ongoing and the results will likely be unveiled in the not too distant future. Yesterday would have been just fine.
Stay safe. Dems need to start a new campaign for 2028 now by having candidates paint a better picture for Americans.
Let's not wait. We should be supporting Valimont and Weil in the Florida special elections NOW. Even if we aren't Florida.residents there are volunteer opportunities and of course donations always help for people that are able.After that, the NY special edition as well as any state elections.
I live in New York. This is a democrat state but I need to volunteer and make sure democrats do a sweep of this state.
So important! People throughout the country need to throw support their way so that the boots on the ground have EVERYTHING they need!
On Pod Save America, they spoke about discussing personal stories of how these cuts, etc. affect regular people. That’s what Bill Clinton did and he was able to reach people that way
New slogan “A Better Picture for Americans”.
I like that - let’s roll it out!!!
#ABetterPictureforAmericans 🇺🇸
😁
I'm sure I'm not the first one to float this idea, but here goes: could Meidas (or the Bulwark, or anyone) set up daily press briefings, open to all capitol correspondents, conveniently close geographically and immediately following Karoline Leavitt's briefings? Maybe get Private Citizen Pete Buttigieg or even Private Citizen Adam Kinzinger to conduct the briefings? Who could spearhead such a media onslaught of actual truth-telling? It's just a thought.
I love this idea! It would have a twofold effect:
1-TRUTHFUL REPORTING OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN DC
2-Bring the fight to them. Go on the offensive. So sick of being on the ropes all the time.
Another benefit would be to take away the tv performer’s spotlight. I think he would finally have that stroke.
What a great idea ladies. Thinking outside the box.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Great idea!!! Fact check her every syllable.
Excellent idea
Love that idea! Anything to get the word out to the masses.
💯 AWESOME idea!!!!
When is the grifter going to pay 450 million to NY now that they stole 80 million and the 83 million to EG Carroll
His bank on Elon should have already taken care of that. I guess he’s waiting to hit the trillion mark after he pillages us
I came across this idea and absolutely love it...what if all of the Democrats boycott the State of the Union address AND AT THE SAME TIME hold their own address to counter all the lies that will be coming out of the SOTU. They don't show up to listen to the lies but hold an event to talk about the REAL state of our Union. Bring in the fired employees, the Inspector Generals, the heroes that have been standing up for the rule of law....How do we get this message out to them universally to make it happen???
Love this idea! Thank you. I hope it happens. We are in desperate and immediate need for a unification on the left, no it's in fact the need of unification of sanity, truth and to safe our great democracy! So grateful for Medias and everyone who cares and takes action!
Everyone needs to relay the idea to their representatives. The people can push to make it happen. The hell with tradition and decorum! We’re in a different place right now and all stops have to be pulled!
We need a leader in the Democratic party to step up ASAP
I'd love to see Ben pick up on this idea and give it some national attention!!!
@ Julie ... Yes, Ma'am, and you've got my vote. Brilliant idea.
I have emailed my senators and told them "we the people suggest all democrates boycott trumps state of the union address". That'll be good press around the world.
Fabulous!!!
Another AWESOME idea!
Morning! Glad to have some coffee with you Ben! I’m always up at 4:30 am. Seizing The Day! See you on MTN, you Tube for the Videos! All things Meidas. Always.
Propaganda from The Right, we remain focused on Pro Democracy. No Kings!
Again there are too many Constitutional lawyers that can bring these massive layoffs to court
Especially when it’s Elon Musk and his minions doing this
Some of the finest legal minds in the nation are right here with us. Trust and believe they're not waiting for 2028 to take definitive action against Trump and Project 2025 actors.
Hi. I’m in UK. Watch you every night. As do couple of my mates. You keep us up todate with what’s going on in the madness of your leaders. This affects us here too, we are worried. I’m a post war babe, I’ve studied modern history academically, it’s scary what’s happening now is so similar to Hitler pre WWII.
Thanks for your perseverance and encouragement.
I’m reading your post as I too have my black coffee. Thanks for bringing us the news of the week and standing up and for decency and truth telling in journalism. I’m grateful each day to be able to come here and know I can trust what you post to be true.
Coffee is great on this end as I update my resume for a probable shift in job/career. Let’s keep up the good fight! ☕️
