Please don’t be offended by this but don’t you think that the POTUS, he should be more concerned about the going’s on in the world that what a guy is saying about him on the Internet? It speaks volumes about the levels of his insecurity, vanity and priorities!

Well, of course he should, but he doesn’t. He knows he’s in those files and even MAGAs want him to show them. He’s always been about himself. He should be more concerned about what’s happening in this country too, but he doesn’t give a shit about anyone, not you, not anyone. That’s not an offensive question to ask, but one most of us believe you already know the answer to.

The point is—when one says, “Epstein associates are currently unimportant”—because children died in Texas floods; and because politicians were shot on their doorstep—but ALL these terrible things? Were preventable if they were and are HANDLED by a person whose job is to prioritize public need.

Trump administration wants SILENCE on his indecency, based on his inept reflexes of short-changing personnel who action weather warnings, or safety in communities.

Our reflex is to prioritize mourning (over warning), and Trump knows it. We would protect communities including systems of mental health intervention when a person KNOWS a potential assailant is a danger, including need to prioritize action in open-carry states, where there IS no crime until someone pulls the trigger.

So Trump and his reportedly creepy friends and statements, are not to be spoken of, because of more timely and serious priorities? ALL that (we feel), is stuff Trump OUGHT to have been championing. His priority is ratings.

Like ensure STAFFING is in place to action directions to evacuate when massive weather events are predicted—Trump’s administration got RID of systems they don’t personally value—as cost-savings, “waste, fraud, abuse.”

DOGE lists FIRED, paid out for early retirement, and did NOT fill (left vacant) current positions that measurably help with safety, positions that exist for people to be in place to do the job; like the Texas floods, and protection, health, and safety on the issue of guns, politicians, communities, and individuals affected by society’s anxieties! Report on Trump, and “you” have Trump’s interest.

Trump is USING tragedies—to avoid accountability for his role in Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking women for money from wealthy men. The young women understood money and power belonged to someone, not them. They were used, vulnerable, bought and sold.

But we feel guilty—because eyes, hearts, and minds ought to be on natural disasters (but not mitigating future harm), and not on antics and actions, “reported on the Internet,” stuff Trump would rather not see, reports he disrespected people, his past errors in judgement.

There ARE people whose job it is to DIRECT funding by Trump’s administration—but Trump shut-down those expenditures, to minimize taxes wealthy people pay for their lucky success, based on community that is foundation for profits (as workers and consumers).

Manipulation is Trump saying, “Look! Over there!” directing attention at “bad social media coverage”!, calling media inaccurate. Backslapping with powerful people over how they ESCAPED with future further fortunes, unmolested.

Trump’s strategy is deciding what to prioritize. HIS lousy judgment is NOT to be questioned—and pot-shots at popular social media opinion moderators is effective at distracting.

TRUMP defends his involvement with Epstein’s crimes with, “What is REALLY important? Here and now?” including by causing the problems in disasters, carelessly, possibly inadvertently, but it stems from the same place. Cuts and not planfulness or vision.

Scorn, malice, reactive knee-jerk “decisions,” and always an, “us versus them” personal philosophy. Divisive and not community minded. Lousy judgement.

Yes, his priority (over Trump’s focus on ratings and pundits), ought to be in getting effective people back in position.

Trump’s done so much to destroy prudent safety—people delegated were once in place, ought to have been.

But self-appointed saviour AND destroyer wants all the responsibility and money, and none of the accountability and cost. Trump picks on social media opinion platforms, because it’s something he understands, i.e., talking about himself.

You mean concerned with doing it job of POTUS, right? Yeah, many of us VERY MUCH feel that that job & other leadership positions need to be done competently. But, the felon convinced enough people, that those weren't real jobs, to cover his scam of putting 2-bit actors into our government & ripping off what little working people had for him & his criminal buddies. TBH, I don't think a lot of us knew how a lot of government worked, but EVERYONE is going to Find Out when it doesn't. Thank Goodness we have the Truth & Meidas Mighty! 💪

Nope, and just before Cruz left, part of the bill that was passed clawed back funding to help with weather forecasting.

"Cruz inserted language into the Republicans’ “big beautiful” reconciliation bill, prior to its signing by Donald Trump on Friday, that eliminates a $150m fund to “accelerate advances and improvements in research, observation systems, modeling, forecasting, assessments, and dissemination of information to the public” around weather forecasting."

How horrible. I hope that the residents of Texas all know this. His campaign funding comes from the NRA. He lies to his constituants and they applaud when he tells them lies about people who vote differently than them. He says "They want to take your guns away." NO ONE and no Democratic bill has ever requested to ban all guns !! That is a lie. Many Democrats own guns. What many of us want are background checks and red flag laws, which would have prevented hundreds of deaths! Would it really be that difficult to have tougher background checks? Maybe the problem is that there are people who are afraid they won't pass a background check.

Please pass this around to people and if they don't know he did that, maybe passing it around will get the word out.

In regard to guns, the biggest threat gun owners have is an authoritarian dictator-wannabe. He is the one who is going to want to have all their guns and if he lasts long enough to get to the point where guns have to go so he can be in control, he is the one going to be attempting to take them away. Right now, that is not in the immediate future - but Authoritarians cannot have a population of gun owners and there are 393 million estimated guns in this country in private homes.

Yes - I see it right now with ICE raids. They raid companies with migrant employees as well as the immigration courts where people are abiding by the legal process. Six or seven ICE agents wearning masks with guns, not presenting their badges, which is illegal, all have guns, while the poor victim they are holding on the ground has no weapons or had intended to do anything wrong.

Ben, I'm very happy to see that your back is feeling better. I love your podcasts with you and your brothers. I wish that I could subscribe, but unfortunately, I can't. My husband and I live paycheck to paycheck. All our money goes to paying for bills etc. I'm afraid that we will be helping my brother and sister pay for their bills. Both of them are on disability, get Medicaid, and SNAP. Thanks for telling us the truth. 💙💙⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I hope the republiCRAPS (millions of so-called Christians) are satisfied electing this Nasty, Deranged, Disgusting, Evil, Selfish Power Grabbing Psycho. They were so scared of having a well-educated, caring, decent woman as president. MCPs to the "T." Now there's no way to kick him out of office. He has his own Gestapo and just look at Los Angeles and The Dump's private army. This is going to spread worse then smallpox ever did. Welcome to Germany: 1930's through 1945. It's going to be a miserable end to our once-wonderful democracy/republic.
