Everything he says and does is for optics. He has crowned himself "king." Well, kings used to have their counting houses or counting rooms. Trumpy the Dummy likely believes he's entitled to see, handle, and own a piece of gold.

But, I have a suspicion there are moves about in secret to prevent him from showboating at Fort Knox. He's done enough damage already by giving away Top Secret docs in his bid to join his dictator pals. He is a clear and present danger to the entire World.

He's a complete court jester--dangerous, deranged, ignorant, arrogant, selfish, greedy, sociopathic, and on his way to an end he never envisioned. He should research how his heroes of the past wound up.

He and his motley crew of thugs can go live with Putrid. This is America and, thank God for MTN and the MTN network. We are The Meidas Mighty and we are not bowing down to anybody's idea of a dictator or a king.

Our voices are making an impact in the “Blood Red State “ of Idaho where our freedoms, liberty and pursuit of happiness has been chipped away .. but today we have a victory for the 62 percent of voters who will not let the 1 percent crush us.

Dear supporters of Medicaid in Idaho

I have big news to share.

Minutes ago in the House Health and Welfare Committee, Representative Jordan Redman introduced a new bill related to Medicaid Expansion that does not include a mechanism to repeal the program. Representative Redman described the bill as a compromise in response to debate and testimony.

It appears that House Bill 138, a bill that would have REPEALED Medicaid Expansion, is now dead. This is a huge win for the 90,000 Idahoans who rely on Medicaid Expansion for their healthcare, and a major victory to all who have joined this fight.

But let’s be clear: We are not out of the woods yet. Representative Redman’s compromise bill is not a full-blown repeal, but it does include many of the original provisions that would still result in thousands of Idahoans losing healthcare.

Today’s hearing was only a brief introduction of the bill. We’ll provide updates once a public hearing is scheduled and the details of this bill emerge. Stay tuned.

In the meantime, please chip in if you can and help us hit our end-of-month fundraising goal.

Thank you!

I changed my tax with holding to zero. If everyone did it would send a message. Money talks…let’s see the charts of presidents since Eisenhower on corporate tax rate, income tax rate, deficit, and budget. I know Reagan grew the deficit to be the largest in history with his crony star wars program and cut taxes. Also a column for GDP growth rate and S&P 500 growth. GOP ransacks the government for money and then leaves the mess for Dems to clean up. Now the GOP isn’t just ransacking, they are raping and pillaging too. Let’s see how much gold is left after Trump visits. He will take some you can bet your bottom dollar. That’s like crack cocaine to him.

We do a class action lawsuit where we, as the harmed, sue the individual Representatives for harming us through inaction, or supporting the invasion of our personal information, the illegal firings of government employees that impacts our safety and security, and that compromises our national security. We sue them individually and personally. Fifty lawyers across fifty states filing 271 individual lawsuits for maybe $100 million each or more. It may be a wacko idea, but these are wacko times. And if we can get even 10% of them to start doing their jobs, maybe it's worth it.

Below are the comments I intend to read to our rep Clay Higgins in his telephone town hall tonight if I get to speak at all:

I’ll be 70 this year. I am a former registered Republican voter who up until 10 years ago, voted for more Republicans than Democrats regularly. 10 years ago I would never have believed THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WOULD JOIN WITH RUSSIA AND NORTH KOREA in refusing to condemn Vladamir Putin’s lawless and unprovoked invasion of a sovereign democratic country!

Ten years ago, I could not have imagined and would have NEVER BELIEVED the metamorphosis of the Republican party that I have witnessed since Trump came down that escalator. Ten years ago, NO ONE COULD HAVE CONVINCED ME, that the Republican party would not only reject FACTS, the TRUTH, and THE RULE OF LAW, but would adopt ALL the attributes of a Neo-Nazi party!!! SINCE 2016, Democracy has been under attack RELENTLESSLY, in one way or another, either BY elected Republican officials directly, or by the fascist mainstream media who support them.

Representative Clay,

The harsh truth is that you have been complicit in ALL of these actions against our democracy up to this point, but I am begging you to PLEASE stand up NOW for TRUTH that is BACKED UP BY FACTS, rather than conspiracy theories or simply outright LIES! It is NOT TOO LATE for you to be on the RIGHT side of history!

In any case, it is my duty to inform you that if Republicans continue to aid and abet Elon Musk (who was not elected by ANYONE), and Trump (who recently declared himself KING) to continue with their illegal executive orders, and the firing of lifelong public servants, lawyers, and judges who REFUSE to go against the rule of law, KNOW THIS SIR...WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT OF FASCISM...

So again, I beg you sir, to please recall your oath of office, and I leave you with the immortal words of General Mark Milley ‘We don’t take an oath to a country, or a tribe, or a religion, or to a king or queen, and we don’t take an oath to a dictator or to a wannabe dictator’...

Thank you...

While Dementia is not my 'go-to' diagnosis, it is very clear Trump is not managing as well.

I suspect that as a 'rich boy' his whole life he has usually relied on the people he paid to do his thinking for him, and taking care of him so they could keep living off of his wealth.

Problem is, Trump has burnt so very many people who helped him, from lawyers to contractors, to department heads and certainly a lot of his customers. He goes through life like a mid-scale con-man, always confident there will be more people he can sucker, but that kind of con-man does not play well in a small town, because eventually everyone knows who and what he is.

Trump found very few competent people for his administration this time, in part because he tossed them aside last time when they weren't willing to do EVERYTHING he wanted, no matter how horrible it was. He deliberately surrounded himself with people who were either delusional or liars willing to say Trump won in 2020 and in general willing to say everything Trump says, as though they mean it. Those type of people do not tend to be competent or ethical and he will soon burn through those who either find some tether to reality and/or a line they are not willing to cross. Does not help that Trump is deferring to Musk who is not even remotely as charming as Trump and knows about as little as Trump in how to get things done in government.

This time through Trump is untethered to reality and unrestricted in his actions. He still does not know how much his prior administration sought to both protect and enable him. Trump relies on lawyers (who he insists on micro-managing and then not paying) to protect him and compulsively attacks any who 'get in his way', it does not matter how small a way that may be. The Republican Congress is thoroughly filled (on the Republican side) with cowards or the corrupt, afraid of both Musk and Trump to have them 'primaried' if they do not just fall in line.

Interesting to note the department heads are starting to learn a little self preservation, but Trump will not tolerate that for long, since his fear of jail will drive him to spiral ever more out of control.

Trump is a bully, a cheat who never learned to study, a 'B' class con-man and Mob Boss wannabe, who dreams of becoming a Dictator, just like his Idol Putin. The fact that he is 78 years old and barely one step away from a jail cell means he is both very afraid and is not able to learn any new tricks. This will not end well for the convicted felon, and he people will suffer more before they react with sufficient force to end him.

Meidas did it before us and thankfully are here strong to keep us informed and carry us thru. But it is our movement today. Not the media, not the pod casts, not government or judges or representatives or senators. They are hog tied and do not have our power. We have enormous power once united and in their faces.
