SPEAKER 4
Waking up in the Trump regime, it's like idiocracy, fascist groundhog day. You wake up, Trump makes a stupid offensive post, the markets tank, he then hosts some world leader, he says the most offensive things, then you rinse and repeat. So you wake up in the morning and Donald Trump posts the following, the US doesn't have free trade,
0:21
we have stupid trade. The entire world is ripping us off. Then he posts this. The European Union, one of the most hostile and abusive taxing and tariffing authorities in the world, it was formed for the sole purpose of taking advantage of the United States, has just put a nasty 50% tariff on whiskey.
0:39
If this tariff is not removed immediately, the US will shortly place a 200% tariff. on all wines, champagnes, and alcoholic products coming out of France and other EU-represented countries. This will be great for the wine and champagne businesses in the US. Oh, Donald, tell me about all of those champagne businesses in the US.

Here is what is happening, and why they are letting Trump say all those insane things on the world stage (they will declare him incompetent and replace him with Vance):

(I did not write this)

"Elon Musk and Peter Thiel cofounded a company that became PayPal.

Other executives at PayPal went on to found or lead other huge tech companies including YouTube, LinkedIn, Reddit, Affirm, and many VC firms.

This group became known as the PayPal mafia because they basically controlled Silicon Valley.

Peter Thiel mentored a young JD Vance and helped him get set up in his first VC firm.

Peter Thiel and the PayPal mafia funded JD Vance's successful Senate run. Amazing because he had absolutely zero political experience.

Thiel and Musk all but forced Trump to choose JD Vance as VP in exchange for funding his presidential campaign.

The three of them, plus a lot of other tech billionaires subscribe to an ideology called the Dark Enlightenment espoused by this super weird, creepy dude: Curtis Yarvin aka Mencius Moldbug.

Yarvin preaches that the media and academia represent "The Cathedral" that secretly controls power and must be dismantled.

He advocates for a corporate run, monarchy, led by a CEO-Dictator. If Trump is gone from office, perhaps by Vance organizing a 25th Amendment removal due to claims about Trump’s cognitive decline, Vance moves in and that process begins.

Remember, it was just a couple of years ago when Musk said Trump was too old to even be a CEO, let alone the president.

Yarvin says that Democracy is an "outdated software" and openly opposes it and that:

- Government agencies should be dismantled and The U.S. should be broken up into "patchworks" controlled by tech oligarchs.

- That the elite tech billionaires should rule because they have the intelligence to "fix" society

- That the "masses are asses" too dumb to govern themselves.

The strategy is to gut the government via R.A.G.E - Retire All Govt Employees to make government incapable of operating.

Then to replace government with private corporations.

To eliminate elections because they are "obsolete"

To use distraction and chaos to prevent public resistance.

Trump is their useful tool to be disposed of as soon as they can wrest control.

This is why Elon wears a black MAGA hat. They are not Trump supporters, they are "Dark MAGA"

This isn't a hypothetical. The plan is already in motion:

- Musk, Thiel, and their network are actively dismantling democratic institutions.

- JD Vance, the “MAGA heir,” is being positioned to help implement this transition.

- The public is too distracted to realize what’s happening.

- If successful, democracy in America will be permanently replaced by a corporate-run authoritarian state." -unknown

I was raging about this to family and friends before, during the traitor rapey felon’s first term- the ultimate goal of his agenda was to remove all restrictions/legislation/ regulations and rule by whatever came into his conspiracy bent orbit, never mind the damage to the country. However a few sane people in his administration stood up for the rule of law and the constitution. But now It’s all or nothing for the republican traitors and the rapey felon/ muskrat and they are living their best wet dream with voters succumbing to 24/7 propaganda and giving them the blank check.

Trump is illegitimate. 14th Amendment, paragraph 3. Musk and DOGE are ultra vires. Plus he and all of his opertives are a threat to national security. Most probably, to any degree of probability, they are liars and imcopentent.

Trump was Putin's Manchurian candidate. Yesterday, he ordered DOD to plan for an invasion of Panama. Adventures in Greenland can break NATO. Attacks our most loyal and trusted allies, i.e. Canada, Mexico, UK, EU. Markets crashing. All to the benefit of Putin and to the detriment of our country.

Big march today in DC..

22 Republican senators and dozens of Republican House members voted to fund Ukraine. Some of them call Trump a liar.

When he put tariffs on China, they blocked sales of beef. The entire industry is in panic. So should 20 Republican senators that represent cow country. Even Rand Paul fears for the boubon industry and called out Trump.

You're absolutely correct, Terry. Here's a more detailed timeline:

2000: X.com merged with Confinity, another online payment company.

2001: The merged company was renamed PayPal.

2002: eBay acquired PayPal for $1.5 billion.

He attended school, but he really didn’t learn anything, and when he was in university, his sister Marianne, the judge who recently died, took all his tests. He went to big universities with auditorium size classrooms, and auditorium. Seating and professors were not there to babysit and there were no lanyards back then. And Donald Trump’s father had a lot of money and could pay off these schools just to get him a degree because he’s stupid as stupid can be. I’ve read so much about Donald Trump after he came down that escalator I started with one book. It was astonishing. Shocking.

Secretary Lutnick complained on CNN that Canadians were not thankful enough, didn't say thank you enough for the trade relationship with the USA. Perhaps it is the other way around. Here are meaningful facts from 2024.

Each Canadian worker purchased an average of $20,235 usd of imported US goods and services in 2024. In that same timeframe, American workers purchased $2,450 usd of imported Canadian goods (including oil and gas). This points out the reality of the relative different sizes of the trading parties. Clearly Canadians are doing much more to support the USA than the other way around. You're welcome. ELBOWS UP.

Meiselas Brothers (and your guests) Thank you for what you do. I listen to and read what you provide every day. It is sometimes difficult, due to the barrage of crazy, scary, psychopathic actions. However, I believe it is my / our responsibility to stay informed so that when we communicate, we are armed with the truth. There are enough people who do not expend the energy to think critically. Who make things up, do not research what they pass on and contribute to the 'disinformation highway'. I also agree with your exhortation for people to speak out. If we do not raise our voices, do not spread truth, do not educate ourselves to our current day problems, we are then a part of the problem as opposed to the solution. Thank you again.

He is ignorant but not stupid.

So he is not stupid, he is just laser focused on retribution, garnering wealth, destroying all that makes life beautiful, compassionate and generous (golden toilets are not beautiful). Do not underestimate his deal-making abilities with similarly unethical goons, and that he is fighting still to stay out of jail, out of having to bear any consequences for his rapacious greed.

I think Musk is feeding Trump some of his Ketamine. The president is on drugs, and so is Musk, who admitted he has a prescription for Ketamine. Musk was very high the night he did his Nazi-salutes. So the USA is being led by drug addicts, but the MAGA and Congress don't care. Do you think I'm wrong? See if Dear Leader and Musk will take a drug test. That's right; the king pays no taxes.

"Trump voters: We told you this was coming — and you have no one to blame but yourselves.

In just seven, short weeks, the traitor, Donald Trump, has crashed the economy, taken us to the brink of recession, wrecked the government, lost the respect of our friends and neighbors around the world, and surrendered to the murderous Vladimir Putin.

It is EXACTLY what was expected from the proven America-attacker by anybody capable of thinking about anything but themselves heading into November’s disastrous elections." (Raw Story).....

I attended a small, but mighty, protest today to push for refunding the VA. I live in a red state in a bluish/purplish county. While there was a decent response, I left feeling that too many people that drove by our busy intersection simply didn't give a shit. After all, 90 million people didn't vote. That's disgusting.

Is anyone reaching out to those 90 million? Is anyone asking why they didn't vote?

As hard as we try, and as much as we care, these 90 million are just bystanders who must be doing well enough on their own that they don't bother doing their civic duty. It's the easiest thing to do.

Fighting the conservative right is fine and good, and I will keep doing what I can. But we are never going to pull ahead if we don't figure out what is in the head of those 90 million.

Schumer's point:

The CR is terrible.

But a shutdown is worse.

Here's why:

During a shutdown all decision-making power legally goes to the president, so there is NO WAY to legally challenge anything Trump/Musk do.

With the government open their unconstitutional actions can be fought in court.

We need to be very careful. Are we sure that shutting down the government is the right move? My understanding is courts would shut down 2 weeks later, and the judiciary is the only semi-functioning branch of government at the moment. There is no win for the Dems either way in this, but we do need to lose in the best way we can. I don’t know what the correct position on this is. I just advise caution.

Barbara Gierzak's avatar

"NOT THE FIGHT DEMS WANTED TODAY: Ahead of a midnight deadline to fund the government … at a moment when escalating tariffs and raging economic uncertainty have put the Dow on track for its worst week in two years … as President Donald Trump is expected to invoke the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to carry out mass deportations as soon as today … with the president due to speak this afternoon at the Justice Department amid ongoing concerns about its independence and the rule of law … Democrats are seized by a debate over Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s reluctant support for the House GOP’s continuing resolution to avoid a shutdown.

The summary: On Tuesday, the House approved a stopgap that would keep the federal government funded through the end of the fiscal year, 217-213. … On Wednesday, Schumer announced that the House-backed CR did not not have the eight Democratic votes needed to overcome a filibuster — which some observers interpreted to mean that Schumer was going to go all-in on opposing the CR. … Yesterday, Schumer announced that he will support the CR.

What Schumer said: “As bad as passing the continuing resolution would be, I believe a government shutdown is far worse,” he wrote in a Times op-ed, launching into four primary reasons for that calculation:

(1) A shutdown would give Trump and Elon Musk the ability to “destroy vital government services at a significantly faster rate than they can right now;”

(2) Republicans could use the shutdown to “cherry-pick which parts of government to reopen;”

(3) it’d mean “real pain for American families,” and;

(4) it would distract from the “chaos” reining across government and the economy.

Cue the outrage. While it’s almost a certainty that there are a sufficient number of Senate Dems who privately share Schumer’s thinking, you sure didn’t hear from them in the ensuing maelstrom of reactions.

Today, you’re going to want to watch a few different things …

1. The split within the Senate Dem caucus. Support for the CR does not break down neatly along ideological lines. Yes, Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) will vote for cloture. Yes, the most prominent lefties are nos. But it’s striking how many early-tenure Democratic senators — especially those from states Trump carried in 2024 — have lined up in opposition to the CR across a wide spectrum of views.

Consider this: In the hours after Schumer told his colleagues his position on the CR, Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.), and Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) all reiterated their opposition to the CR. Add to that mix a few freshmen from bluer states, like Andy Kim (D-N.J.), Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.), and Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.), and you start to see a breakdown that is perhaps less ideological than generational. These younger, newer members view the world differently, Senate insiders told Playbook last night.

2. The House Dem reaction. One of the most surprising developments of the last 12 hours is that late last night, House Democratic leadership — repeat: not backbenchers — felt compelled to release a fiery statement that does not give Senate Dems who support the CR much of any room for cover.

From the statement: “The far-right Republican funding bill will unleash havoc on everyday Americans, giving Donald Trump and Elon Musk even more power to continue dismantling the federal government,” read the joint release from Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Whip Katherine Clark and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar. “House Democrats will not be complicit.”

Thought bubble: When was the last time that fellow Brooklynites Jeffries and Schumer seemed on such different pages in such a public manner?

And the caucus seems unified: “Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) noted last night. The gentlewoman from Queens was at a House Dem retreat in Virginia, where some members were “so infuriated with Schumer’s decision that some have begun encouraging her to run against Schumer in a primary, according to a Democratic member who directly spoke with Ocasio-Cortez about running,” CNN’s Sarah Ferris reports. “The member said that Democrats in Leesburg were ‘so mad’ that even centrist Democrats were ‘ready to write checks for AOC for Senate,’ adding that they have ‘never seen people so mad.’”

3. If not fight now, then when? On some level, this is a debate about what an effective resistance looks like. “In a political economy that requires attention and friction, we are passing up a huge opportunity to fight an unpopular president and his billionaire buddy,” posted Mike Casca, AOC’s chief of staff. “Fights define you. FDR knew this. Harry Reid knew this.”

But but but: Former Reid right hand Adam Jentleson sees it quite differently: “Schumer is right. Dems are understandably spoiling for a fight but this was not it. … Fight — but pick smart fights.”

What would a “smart” fight look like? The “oppose the CR” argument is more or less as Casca laid it out. But there are, of course, other ways to see it. Matt Yglesias offers a different view: The House Dems’ approach failed to bring Republicans to the negotiating table because they ruled out giving any votes to the CR. As a result, the party-line bill had to placate conservative Republicans, and as such, shifted “public policy to the right somewhat.” Senate Dems were left with no cards, and keeping the government open is the less-bad option.

Or, as Senate Republicans see it: “The Democrats have A or B: Keep the government open or yield the authority to the president,” Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.), told my POLITICO colleagues Jennifer Scholtes and Megan Messerly.

That’s the calculation Schumer made: “Musk has already said he wants a shutdown, and public reporting has shown he is already making plans to expedite his destruction of key government programs and services,” Schumer said on the Senate floor last night. “A shutdown would give Donald Trump the keys to the city, the state and the country.”

The question now: How many other Senate Dems are making the same calculation?" (Politico)

It amazing how uninformed Deadbeat Donnie is. How does someone live as long as Donnie has and has accumulated zero knowledge about anything? He's always trying to reinvent the wheel when there's nothing wrong with the wheel he was given to roll forward. All he had to do was leave the growing economy that he was handed alone and we'd be doing fine, but NO LET'S TRY SOMETHING THAT EVERY ECONOMIST SAID WAS THE WRONG THING TO DO. Every executive order has been made out of spite or vengeful petty action to undo everything that Joe did right. Lord save us from this MAROON 🙏

"How to Fight Back, with Messaging Guru Anat Shenker-Osorio.

Messaging mastermind Anat Shenker-Osorio joins Ben Meiselas for a powerhouse Meidas Meet Up, on Substack Live. I just wrapped up one of the most invigorating, mind-expanding conversations we’ve had yet on our Meidas Meet Up Substack Live series—and I couldn’t be more fired up.

This week, I had the honor of sitting down with one of the sharpest minds in political messaging: Anat Shenker-Osorio, a strategist whose work shapes the very foundation of how we frame the fight for democracy. And let me tell you, if there’s ever been a time we need to reframe the conversation and own the narrative, it’s now—when the MAGA clown show is crumbling under the weight of its own lies and delusion."

"Trump Begs World Leaders for Eggs.

While Trump threatens our allies, he's secretly begging them for help behind the scenes.

You really can’t make this stuff up. While Donald Trump stomps around pretending he’s the tough guy on the world stage—bashing our allies, threatening NATO countries, floating imperialist nonsense about annexing Greenland—he’s also sending people behind the scenes to beg those very same countries… for eggs.

Yes, you heard that right. Eggs.

According to a report from Reuters, the Trump administration has been quietly pleading with countries like Denmark to export eggs to the United States to deal with skyrocketing prices and supply shortages back home. It’s a humiliating contradiction: in public, Trump mocks and threatens Denmark, slaps tariffs on European goods, and calls for the annexation of Greenland. Behind closed doors? He’s groveling to the same people he insults.

This is what Trump calls “the art of the deal”? More like the art of the desperate beg.

And the hypocrisy doesn’t end there. Trump promised lower egg prices on Day One. Instead, prices have surged over 59% year over year. He’s failed at home, failed abroad, and now wants Denmark—the country he’s trying to bully—to bail him out with breakfast food.

Let that sink in." (MeidasTouch)......

If this tariff is not removed immediately, the US will shortly place a 200% tariff. on all wines, champagnes, and alcoholic products coming out of France and other EU-represented countries. This will be great for the wine and champagne businesses in the US. Oh, Donald, tell me about all of those champagne businesses in the US.
