In this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down Trump’s disastrous indoor inauguration, which he tried to blame on the cold while being surrounded by oligarchs in what was the weakest swearing-in ceremony in history. Meanwhile, Trump says people don’t care about inflation, even as prices soar and MAGA Mike Johnson admits Republicans have no real plan to fix it. Over at the fake government agency DOGE, Vivek Ramaswamy has already been forced out, and the agency is getting sued. Then there’s the Trump MEME Coin debacle, where Trump launched a crypto meme coin right before his inauguration, only for Melania to release her own competing coin, crashing both and leaving his supporters holding the bag. Plus, Trump’s phony “Day 1” promise to bring peace to Ukraine falls flat, and we expose the bizarre TikTok stunt where Trump and TikTok pretended to shut the app down for a day so he could take credit for “saving” it. Spoiler: It didn’t work. Ben, Brett and Jordy break it all down.
Thank God for you guys! I’m deleting my FB, IG, WhatsApp today. Can’t live with myself if I keep any of those sites. THIS (and #BlueSky!) is where I get my news!
Who owns BlueSky?
Former owner was Jack Dorsey, co-founder and former CEO of Twitter.
He stepped down from the board in May 2024 and deleted his account in September. Which is why everyone who has an IQ higher than a 3rd grader has made #BlueSky their home 🦋
BlueSky is a paid-for service...wish I could afford it; however, living on (and too often beyond) a SSI fixed retirement income, some months even $10 is unaffordable. I want to speak truth-to-power, ardently! Yet, sometimes just speaking to the electric company about my bill takes precedent.
Bluesky is NOT a paid service. It is totally FREE.
I don't pay for it.
It is free at least I don’t pay for it.

I'm on BlueSky and it's a breath of fresh air compared to X.
Agreed 🦋
Jay Graber and other employees.
No more Amazon for me!
Nor me. Wiped my accounts.
And tt... instagram.
Yup. Instagram too. If Meta owns it, I want no part of it. pELON either.
Fuck em all.

Shame on this country, booing former presidents. This is what Trump has brought to us. He's turned us into a cesspool.
How dumb of former presidents etc for allowing themselves to be treated like trophies and roadkill - who sent them to the arena? Why THERE?
Just stay away - do/make something else!
When you elect a clown you get a circus....
Thank you for all you do... you are literally saving my life and saving me from insanity
The Maga stupid . Hi I’m a maga politician vote for me and the stupid do. Vote for people who will steal your money and screw you over and you are stupid and the stupid do it willingly. Same stupid people who send money to TV Preachers you know the ones just send me $2000 and your blessed and saved. Trump says just send me money and your groceries will be cheaper (sure if you live in China LOL.) NBC loser main stream media full of non journalists
Network.
Absolutely no class the MAGA scum booing the Past Democrat Presidents. They disgust me to no end
Watch Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth, Colbert and the Daily show. You need to laugh …..thru your tears perhaps.
Believe me, you need to.
I danced while “Rome” burned once……. It will help you.
Mojitos are good also, but specially vodka…..if you only knew how funny that is.
That sorry inaug was a low budget Lawrence Welk show including the top of the ceiling pan down to the cruxifix formed by the seating configuration (Praise Be! His truth is marching on!). Orange Tyrant survived 2 assassination attempts and still refused to change his ways, even equating himself to God. I ain't no evangelical but that's tempting fate. His end will be swift and bad.
"In a fitting sign of the times, the legacy media spent a portion of Monday afternoon struggling to say whether Elon Musk offered a fascist salute during his remarks at a Trump event." Marc Elias
Boo-ing at the inauguration? Guess the capitol is just a frat house now? No class
The MEIDAS MIGHTY WILL PREVAIL ESPECIALLY IN THE MEDIA WORLD BECAUSE THEY ARE TELLING TRUTH AND DON’T BOW DOWN TO CORPORATE MEDIA LOSERS . Attention corporate America if you support mainstream media you will be boycotted as much as possible until you tell the truth and quit pumping up Trump and his Maga Minions You billionaires like Musk Bezos Zuckerberg will be boycotted as well. This is just getting traction but mark my words corporate America but your business will be boycotted as you support Trump and his minions. Eventually the negative PR WILL HURT YOU. Let’s start with Tesla and Facebook, instagram and Amazon. We’ll all feel better dumping these companies.
Thank you Brett Ben and Jordy for providing us accurate news! Great job on the Humane Society fundraiser. Keep up the great work!
Booing at former Presidents and VP is inexcusable but what would one expect from the uneducated MAGA
Feces on the walls.
Thank you all! You are the only news I watch with Demacracy Now. Prayers for you safety and strength! Katy ARCWP
It's obvious MAGA has no class.
"We seem to recall Jesus cautioning, that camels have an easier time passing through needles, than rich men do entering the gates of Heaven. Dunno' if that extends to Donnie and his many crypto bros, but we have our suspicions..."
"Hamburgler" Melania will never get through the eye of of the needle with that black UFO hat on........Matthew 7:22-23..........."did we not prophesy in your name......cast out demons......do many deeds in your name........Then I will declare to them....I never knew you......go away from me you evildoers."..........Gods message to the false Christofascist fake Christian Nationalists that attended yesterday.
If you have FB or Instagram, you need to delete and block Trump and his goonies because they have you automatically following him. Or just deactivate and delete accounts. Remember to be a good citizen and report their accounts, too.
Even if you only post to your friends?
No one should use the products of these traitors to democracy.
Can anyone who was injured in J6 file a civil lawsuit even if pardon?
Good question.
I believe they are already doing so...
I am more concerned about what he is doing to drug prices for seniors. Don't care what he says care what he is doing.
I agree, I want to know about the drug prices. Wondering if he also took the 35 dollar for a months supply of insulin.
If he hasn't he is going to.
Emptying the prisons of domestic terrorists was the first thing Donald did.
Maga is s disgraceful and embarrassing.
Love you guys!!!
If we are going snarky, maybe, we see the First Lady outfit looked to me like a Romanian general's -- OK enough...
I thought she was doing an Eva Peron.
We want to go back to 2021
Trump said they rigged the election at his rally last week. He said Elon knows all about the voting machines in PA. Trump is notorious for letting things slip and given Elon's obsession with PA during the election, I believe this to be true. This needs to be investigated.
Also, trump dud not have hus hand on either Bible during the oath of office. A small technicality, but a technicality all the same. He is an illegitimate president, his executive orders should be voided and he should be removed from office until a full investigation can be made.
I have sent MSNBC a copy of a letter that was written by a Stephen Spoonamore who is a professional hacker. The letter was sent to Gov. Shapiro et al in regards to the cheating.....ALso a letter was sent to Kamala and Pres. Biden........Not sure why nothing is being done. I have written to them also and asked for a forensic audit to be done on the swing states. Arizona and North Carolina for example....the dems won their seats but Trump was voted president in those states? No....The % of bullet ballots is higher in all 7 swing states. Normal in the other 43.......Long story short, there WAS hacking done! I will do what it takes to get something done!
Trump can't keep a secret. He loves to throw out the tease or prove what he actually knows. No one is covering it and I doubt under the Trump reign anything will be done.
is there a video of this?
The statement Trump made about Musk being able to manipulate votes in Pa. was made at his Rally on Sunday. There is video but no news networks used it.
I don't remember anyone voting for President Musk. The executive orders are nothing more then dictorial decrees are illegal and will be fought. Its all distraction
Dont get side tracked. Great lawyers are.on this. Stay with independent media, MeidasMighty. We must stand up.
Jordi, it was 1 degree here in Venango County. I admire you walking in it.
This was a huge wrestling event. Of course the MAGA crowd acts like this was a game - football,wrestling, NASCAR etc. 🙄
Corporate owned media obeying in advance by normalizing MAGA's behavior.
Just became a subscriber! Thank you for keeping us informed.
Yes it looks like a funeral. The nation is in mourning.
I'm so scared for the repeal of the lower drug prices. WTF is that about? How are the stupid stupid senators and reps going to be cool with screwing over the rest of us? Now I'm terrified for what will really happen to our VA benefits.
Now. Did you vote for him! I hope not. Anyone who did is to blame for this. And those who didn't vote at all, shame on you
I mean are you asking me if I voted in 2024 presidential election fk yeah I did. I vote in each and every single election there is here. Even in the weird months if April and August. I campaigned for the dems.
GTFOH....
Me too. Sorry, I have no intent to offend
. You just never know
Did i vote for who???
Good. Just checking
Not knowing is a big problem.
My heart is so heavy at the booing. At an inauguration viewed by the entire world. The world now knows our government is in chaos. Our behavior is abhorrent displaying our vulnerability.
Tariffs and sanctuons will lead to Russia and China hacking our vital infrastructure and more.
They already do hack our vital infrastructure. Biden strengthened cybersecurity going out the door. I have no doubt DJT will repeal it, because Biden did it. How can he possibly justify raising drug prices that saved the govt. hundreds of billions of dollars?
WHY would those boo-ed give MAGA the satisfaction? They were in the equivalent of a school gymnasium because they weren't allowed into the Big Kids Room.
Dems keep offering themselves up as High Road Roadkill - no sense. Now they have provided themselves and their images as propaganda trophies.
Seriously, people: be serious; know what the game is, and which currency the hustlers are playing in.
Can see Trump fabricating more “disasters” so that he can get credit for “fixing” the problem (note that he will obstruct anyone else who genuinely tries to fix his problems and steal his credit).
Eventually he will create a problem that he won’t be able to fix even with all the money he can leech from others. That will cause a meltdown, and if an outside presence does help, Trump will have to pay A LOT in exchange for that assistance.
He has been doing that for decades. Now he will get away with it. Already has. WE ALL LOST
With a 41% approval rating, I don't see how he won the presidency.
Susan Klemetsen,
Very likely the Independent voters participated in this survey. Not just dems and repukes.
The nineth circle of hell opened up and now resides in the White House. President Putrid is already fast tracking the destruction of our democracy. We must continue to fight and take back what belongs to the American people..not billionaire scumbags!!
It s a disgrace that mo respect was shown to past presidents.
Maybe the Democrats have been too nice and decent. Time they showed their teeth. MAGA just took delight in humiliating good men. How dare they!
People already made same mistake of the past by voting trump back into office.
Ben, I’m exhausted. The next four years of threats and constant chaos south of the Canadian border are more than I can take. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
If I had millions and billions screw politics I’d be laying on a beach on my island saying to Trump FU YOU DIRT BAG.. I’d travel and enjoy the world and one day give it all away do others could get ahead like a scholarship program for as many as I could help or free day care for people who need it to get ahead some thing helpful. And some billionaires do that because my step daughter got free college from the Gates Foundation and she now works in a state government job that helps people with medical disability. people like Trump steal from their charities and use it as a personal piggy bank and grift off it. All you greedy POS and you know who you are eat shit and die.
TUESDAY, 01-21-2025: "Today is National Hugging Day, so consider this your reminder to hug someone you love — or someone who looks like they could use a hug."
Back to when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris winning the election can we just go back in time and keep them in 2025. Yesterday should have been a day of celebration having our 1st woman president. Remember we have seats up for grabs in 2026 35 seats including 33 class 2 seats. understand the assignment
Yes, Ben, Dirtbag pardoned all the convicted felons. But WHY. Isn't it because he dreams of having his own militia. So many times facts are stated without the follow through of What It Means to us.
And seriously WHY did the Clintons and Obama even attend this farce of an inauguration. Michelle understood and refused to subject herself to those lessor humans. Why do the Dems continue to refuse to wake up. It reminds me of the British forming two lines of battle with their muskets while the other side uses gorilla tactics, and they kept doing it!! That's what the Democratic Party looks like to me today. How many times do you walk down the street and fall in a manhole before you open your eyes to reality. Michelle did.
Vivek just found out that despite being a billionaire, he just isn't the right color for Musk and Trump. Too bad soo sad..it couldn't happen to a better guy!!
The Capital police should be allowed to bring civil suits against these terrorists.
Many of them have. The greater part of Sicknick's partner's suit was just dismissed because she didn't have standing because they weren't married. She is the executor of his estate.
Such an uncivil obnoxious group of MAGA idiots: they are without respect or appreciation for hard work of individuals who gave their lives to public service. Corporate Media needs to STOP inflating their ratings with this utter nonsense.
Thank you for what you are doing. I am grateful for you guys. I am done with mainstream media
I thought it was because of crowd size but after his pardons I think it was a nod to his base that they won, he's king. This is a nightmare
The most un American responses to former PresidentsVPs I’ve ever seen. Disgusting. This country is more of an embarrassment every day. I too am sticking to Bluesky, Substack and YouTube from here on out. Screw the billionaire oligarch boys club.
The reason he comuted sentences and pardoned the insurrectionist is he knows how he's screwing over the country and wants them available to protect him when he needs it. Don't ever think Trump is doing anything other than for his benefit.
They are now threats to the very REAL PATRIOTS they attacked.
Msnbc reporter outside prison allows Rhodes to say these people were unjustly tried by the Biden DOJ and praise Trump. No questions asked. Just a report on the poor families and friends waiting for the release of the pardoned felons.
Just disgusting
feels like the Roman Coliseum or cosplay hunger games😳
I'm sure NBC and other corporate media are reporting on the details about Trump not placing his hand not on the inaugural Bible(s) and offering many mass distraction explanations and not focusing on his obvious deliberate slight toward the oath or perhaps, speculatively, forgetting (cognitive decline) to place his hand on the Bible?
He couldn't place his hand on the Bible because he gas his fingers crossed behind his back while taking the oath.
Thank you brothers. After the orange one made so many King's decrees, I keep wondering how the 3 branches have been reduced to one overnight. Is this really allowed? Are these "decrees" implemented? Why are we afraid of him, as a nation? I am hoping we're not becoming what it looks like to the outside world. Can he be impeached? it looks like noone will.
Nine dollars for eggs at Shop Rite in NJ.
Was that a dozen?
Truly am sickened by the normalization of dt's behavior and actions by all of legacy media....I was an NBC fan, but over this last year, my eyes have been opened....Especially seeing Tom Llamas clips at the RNC...I basically said out loud 'Did he just say what I think he just said?"...I saw what YOU saw Jordy!....And then, yesterday, seeing clips and the insane all day coverage NBC did was truly pandering to dt....And also, EVERY clip I heard or saw on dt, was not calling him out at all on his INSANE and TRAITORIST actions yesterday.....I can't believe what this country has come to...Thank you, Meiselas brothers for being there for all of us and for keeping us sane!!!
Because Trump did not put his hand on the Bible indicates he didn't mean a word of his Oath of Office. He showed that immediately with his Executive Orders.
I'm in UK and a big fan. Please can someone explain how the felon can get away with calling a state of emergency at the border? There is no emergency!
There's no energy emergency either. There is an abundance of oil & LNG being produced. Oil producers don't want to produce more because it will crater the price. Our Democratic legislators need to fight this. If they don't, more Democrats will leave the party.
I read last year that experts predict a fall in price this year due to reduced demand. Please don't let him desecrate Alaska 😢
He can do pretty much whatever he wants now
PUPPET ELECT CRIMINAL CON PATHOLOGICAL LIAR CONVICTED FELON DECEPTION!!!!👊🏾
Dear Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde,
Thank you for using your prophetic voice to speak truth to power during Washington National Cathedral's Service of Prayer for the Nation on Tuesday, January 21st.
Your direct plea to Donald Trump calling for mercy for our LGBTQ, immigrant, and otherwise marginalized people in America speaks to the greatest commandment: to love our neighbors as ourselves. As Christians committed to walking the way of Christ, we stand with you in public support.
We urge you to continue speaking out against the injustice of Trump's executive orders, and we hope Christian leadership from every denomination will do the same.
Thank you, and may God bless you and keep you.
https://act.faithfulamerica.org/sign/thank-you-budde/?t=2&akid=10184%2E853922%2EGUJhW4
The pen he uses to sign all his "executive orders" looks like a kindergarten crayon. Fitting.
Ben & Michael;
I just got done listening to the two of you tonight & oh my God! Ben, you stated absolutely everything that I've been saying for a long time. Our great President Joe Biden's team never gave him credit for any of his accomplishments. You are also the 1st person that I've heard point out that Trump is the one that set up & left Afghanistan behind for Biden to deal with. I remember the whole deal as it was going down. Remember, that is when Trump had the audacity to invite the Taliban to Camp David. Gen. Mark Milley was very nervous over the fact of Trump dealing with terrorists just days before he was supposed to leave office. Our good Gen. knew it could not be good; because Trump had already set his mind that he wasn't going to do anything to benefit the people of America, because after all we didn't re-elect him. I can't believe the 1st time around, in 2016 I actually stupidly voted for Trump. I realized my mistake very quickly & Covid-19 confirmed I made a horrible error in judgment! I had completed paralegal courses & had been accepted at Marquette Law School & I loved sitting in Marquette's Law library & educating myself with the law & our Constitution. I took notice of everything Trump was doing during our countries Covid crisis & I learned to detest that man & his family; I can only hope that there is a special place in Hell for him & his family! Tonight, you also mentioned a thought that has constantly come to my mind about the "tech bro's". What difference can another million, or billion mean to you? When is your money enough? You can't possibly ever spend what you have now. Why do you need more money? Just exactly what drives a demented mind like yours? What is missing out of their lives, that they feel money will fill that void? Also, good old Elon; that man is plain weird. He wants to fulfill his dream of living on Mars. Go! Figure it out & just go already! Me, I like our planet Earth. How about we concentrate on slowing this global warming. Windmills are not giving whales mental problems. Windfarms are also not ruining neighborhoods I see beauty in harnessing the wind to produce electricity. Unfortunately, it's not just that the Republican's ran a good election we do have to live up to the fact that Democrats did a terrible job running an election campaign. Our government as a whole, is doing a terrible job at representing "we the people." Both sides continue to let our children get shot at school; nothing get's done. Our Constitution set forth our laws; a system of checks & balances. Now we have the devil amongst us & he has somehow figured out ways to have all three forms of laws at his beck & command; he bullies, he threatens, he will ruin their lives. I feel as if we are lost, Trump will never leave after four years. I listen to everything Meidas Touch has to offer & I still will watch corporate media, listening for how far the black exhausts into our air have fallen down the rabbit hole. I'm hoping that ALL of your legal minds are thinking of how are we ever going to save our democracy? I feel this time around Trump is going to do a lot of damage to our country. This damage is going to be very wide spread; no other country will ever be our ally. No other country will ever want to complete any deals with a country that regularly breaks treaties. Without regulations, corporations will be able to dump their toxic poisonous by-products of their productions into our ground water, spew their black exhausts into our air. They've let the crazy anti-vaccers gain too much power; we will again suffer bouts of polio & measles. We will no longer have virus watchers to warn us of new viruses. How will we ever be able to correct the damage Trump is doing? Why would he do this type of damage in a country or in a world his grandchildren also have to live in? Why would he behave like an authoritarian leader & let another authoritarian leader take over & have his children & grandchildren live under a leader like that? Because Trump is not leaving & I keep hoping that during one of your podcasts, one of your legal minds or all of your legal minds are doing some critical thinking as to how we will ever recover. I'm counting on all of you!
Trump complained and whined constantly about illegal immigrants living in the United States, being dangerous, etc. He signed legislation to deport them. Yet, he just blanket pardoned 1,500 dangerous, angry, violent insurrectionists, terrorists, and traitors, from prison, to live back in the United States, and terrorize, threaten, and kill all over again....at Trump's bidding.
Pardoning or commuting the sentences of the J6 convicted criminals is the most hypocritical thing to do & I cannot excuse that. It’s counterintuitive when you also act to deport the so-called illegal immigrants, along with some here legally.
$TRUMP - https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=strump
Does anyone know how the executive order on only recognizing two genders affects those who have passports etc with gender as x-other? Does this invalidate all those people’s ID’s?
I will be figting every single day with You.
Is it possible to also have these podcasts in audio format? I walk a lot (6 miles a day) and need more content to listen to, already getting Popok’s stuff on audio and the 2 Legal AF each week
So is this the type of reporting we should expect for 4 years? Catty name calling and gossiping about IT sycophants?
While MSM is hyping the distractions Trump led MaGa throws our way, we need you to use your time to review his executive actions and share how they will impact the average American. Matters of importance with possible long term consequences.
Why no safety-pardons for the Vindemans? xxx
I canceled my NYTimes. Seems all I ever read was about trump. I looked at the LA Times and saw trump regulated to a lower section. Much better.
Cornin will be the White House political director while Tempertantrump, Elania and J.D. play media games!

“That lasted negative Scaramucci” 🤣
I get doing it because I do it too, but the "like" filler is something that needs to go when you're trying to make a point. The "like" younger crowd won't miss it, and us curmudgeons upon whose ears it grates on will definitely not miss it.
Thank you. Grateful to be able to gift a subscription for a friend, wonder how long I'll be able...video yesterday was incredible!! Be safe, stay #meidasstrong
Hello, I watched the inauguration and I learned that what felon donald says he will do the complete opposite. The pardon of 1600 January 6th criminal insurrectionist let's you know everything you need to know about the maga republican party and there king. Complete lawlessness is to come!
Tic Toc is bad for everyone. It diminishes your cognitive resources. Get your face out of your screen for a while and learn what's really going on in the world by experiencing it first hand.
The wisdom of Plato is brought back into sharp focus here: what "47" and his minions are trying to accomplish is nothing new...the undermining of a society, a civilization, for personal gain by the wealthy has all been done before, laid bare in the last lines of his Critias: "...it is often they themselves who with their bad deeds fall into grief beyond what is written."
And, as Plato also taught in his school of Philosophy, there are obvious signs, well in advance, how the powerful elites subvert and subjugate politics in order to advance their own goals. These are the same machinations we see today, nothing much of human nature has changed over the last several thousand years. Like the citizens of ancient Athens, or more contemporarily, Germany after WWI, again we have failed to learn, to remember, the lessons of History. We are about to be "taught" them again.
Yet, knowing them, being eyes-wide-open on-guard against them, all this could have been avoided. Now all our squirming, like worms already on the fish hook, will be of no avail, for very much like in Homer's Odyssey, we are in for a long, circuitous, and dangerous journey in order just to get back to where we, as a society, started from in 1776...if we can.
Moved indoors because of dangerous cold but people with TICKETS who traveled to DC waited over 5 hours in the cold to get into the arena...and many were turned away, while piles of garbage and bags and belongings (including "designer bags") were forced to dump on the street (couldn't take personal belongings inside) and came out to see garbage trucks removing everything......not the first time he has abandoned his People to rain and snow!!!
I know someone who bought tickets to go from Florida. They sent him a mug and said stay home. No refund A $ 5000.00 eff u from dump.
And they love it from him…..
This is my first viewing of Meidas Touch Podcasts. Thank you for taking the time, caring enough for America and all the things she is supposed to stand for, to do this.
I will be 80 this coming September, officially a "Boomer"; however, ever since coming back from the eye-opening combat veteran experience of Vietnam I have immersed myself in Progressive, pro-working class, -environment, -womens rights, -racial equality, dog-friendly, etc. movements I am on your side!!!
You and your guest raised the overarching question: what's going on, what's the point here? I agree. Why has and what are the underlying reasons for the capitulation to "47", the running away from the tenants and principles our (once outstanding) nation stood for?
Yes, I have read much of the social barf put out by the Heritage Foundation, including its Agenda 2025/-30 published ideas. Yet, I think even these do not expose the underlying reasons/goals there.
Yes, all this is complicated, morphing rapidly...but towards what?
I fall back on the wisdom of Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle (among others), as they have seen all this before: the machinations of the powerful elite in their scrabbling for personal power, undermining everyone and everything in this pursuit, ultimately, time and time again resulting in the collapse of one society, one civilization, after another...almost like some inescapable curse.
Do Reps have short-term memory problems? He lies, then contradicts that lie, to tell another lie. They still voted him in! Now, his actions are even more deplorable than he promised!

WMD, love the analogy! We're in for a lot more 'bread & circus' guys! :(
Questions: who owns Meidas Media? Are there any women on the board or on air or are they only in the background contributing? I’d like to know these things before I pay to subscribe. Thanks.

I know you call it “ the rule of law”, but in many countries it’s called censorship. Just saying
Exhausting 🤷🏾♀️
So thankful y’all are what used to be journalists who took pride in finding the truth and presenting it. We could trust reporting and fact check easily.
I told my local news station more than a yr? ago that if they didn't get w/it, someone was coming along that would & YOU DID. Intend to remind them soon!

Elania Muskrat is nocturnal. Enjoys working at 3am. How will Tempertantrump like that? MAGA Congress will love it. Passing bills in the middle of the night!
The race is on - who will become the first Trillionaires?
Tempertantrump draws crowds with a magic marker!
Anyone having trouble with their app! I am
Hello
Do you think that there was any chance that he might be have been thinking about an assassination on his life? Just asking
You know how YouTube is always running vids of comedians talking to trump supporters?
Well, can we have some of journalists talking to the every day guy in the street ( Liberal AND Conservative) and see how they feel about those J6 pardons.
I'm sure there must be people on both sides who are disgusted by it.
No mention of Rednote
I see nothing in the Trump's plan for the American people. And if he believed there were two sexes than abortion would be legal.
The booing. OMG. Classy!
There's a D.O.G.E. Clock on https://www.usdebtclock.org/#. Claiming that DOGE is already saving over $4,5 billion. I suppose this started yesterday. Not sure what the actual data is behind clock. Probably a bunch of BS!
Is there anywhere to track, such as a list, Project 2025 against actions that Trump and MAGA are taking?
A historic note: Grover Cleveland also did not place his hand on the Bible during his inauguration in 1885 nor did he in his second inauguration in 1893. Similarly Dumpty didn't in 2017 and didn't again, yesterday.
Monday was one day ago? It seems like a month.
Love your 'casts.
Such disrespect....booing people from the opposing party. They are the first ones to jump at any little things the Democrats do. They say WE are being disrespectful when we don't support Trump. That's just beyond mean and rude.
thank you for this voice of sanity covering all the insanity.

Micheal Steele, Alecea and Simone on the weekend have been one of the legacy media who has spoken out.
I just watch the cspan video of the church pastor saying a prayer for Trump and vance... Vance is a big problem. Look at his condescending ass-hat face as she is talking. He's pissed. His eyes looks like my 14yo did when I would take his tablet away.... scheming at how to get back at you... or how to get what he wants. And that blond behind them... just arrogant. The whole thing is just ICK.
That blond behind him was Tiffany, Trump's daughter. I wonder if she was even listening. I think Vance was looking at Trump trying to gauge how he was taking it. In my opinion Trump just looked pizzed. I noticed Vance glanced at his wife and then quickly looked away.
Kudos to the Bishop. I bet she's not asked to officiate at any government functions.
Such excellent points!!!! From all 3 of you!!! Thanks for all you do!!!
How sick these people are booing people. How do you recover a moral society.

Any chance y’all could provide transcripts of these videos? I’m not usually in a place where I can listen. Thank you
Dear All - apparently the ADL is appeasing the new administration and minimizing Musk’s salute yesterday. Speak out Tell the ADL: Don’t Defend Elon Musk’s Nazi Salute —

Stop shaming Bezos' lady for what she wore. If Zuck is creeping on her, that's on HIM not her.
So the meme coin provides a path for untraceable
unlimited contributions foreign or domestic to trump? Is that correct?
Weapons of Mass Distraction. Is there any one place we can track his executive orders and other actions? For example: repeal birthright citizenship. Executive orders means nothing because this is a constitutional amendment. What would actually be required? What us the status?
Ben Con Man Don wrote an executive order to cancel Bidens order for lower cost in RX for Medicare and Medicaid. So how do we get that excessive order reversed?
Help us seniors!
Meidas touch bishop
