I find it ironic that given the pill mill that went on during his first Administration, Trump speaks to the danger of fentanyl. Fentanyl is a dangerous drug...brought across the southern border by white people. And many times, as the President of Mexico addressed... there's exchanges for US guns for drugs. Drives me 🤣. ✌️

That intellectually and articulately written letter by Mexico’s President embarrasses me as an American that we have nothing to offer her as far as leadership except a petulant child with 350,000,000 of us at his mercy.

Thank you, Ben, Jordy and Brett.

Could you and Popoke talk about Pres. Biden's pardon power... shall he issue pardons - though no crime has been committed - to those Trump has threatened to unleash his wildly weaponized DOJ upon? Jack Smith and his entire team, and more. There is quite a list of people he and his gang have threated to torment and prosecute unjustly.

Could this be a way to prevent at least some of these fascist uses of the DOJ by the next administration?

I hope you had the best thanksgiving ever! I appreciate you. No I don’t want to squeal. Being disabled in this country is hard to live now. I can’t imagine how hard things will get. I just got an encouraging letter from Angus King , Susan Collin’s response to my letter was a little disturbing. I brought it to my therapist, and the information she was asking me for was alarming. My ss number and a signed realese for my records. I’m not sending that but another letter. Clarifying what I was asking for.

I’m enjoying Meidas posts, and am a paid subscriber. But I question your wide ranging influence and reach, as I think you are preaching to the already converted (including me). To really make a difference and begin to change minds with facts, you need to move to the center, or at least address Liberal issues so that as t conservatives will take you seriously.

Facts are not centrist or liberal. Facts are facts, things that are verifiable. Stick to the issues and the facts and don't be fazed by how others characterize them.

Douglas Goldhirsch's avatar

My point was that I interpret meidas reporting as being anti republican. I understand that expressing the truth seems anti republican. But … is there a way to report the truth without the value judgement, or add ate value judgment in an opinion piece later? I only ask these questions in an attempt to get more people to get acquainted with the truth especially if the reporting goes against what they have been fed for a long time.

I enjoyed the information but I wonder why all 3 people are on the podcast? Everyone is just responding with the same conclusion that was presented, which makes it too long. Just my opinion, cuz I want "short and sweet" bits. It's too exhausting to listen to 50 minutes of it.

I am so thankful for this network. I have been following you since the beginning because it was nice to be able to find people who think like me and who can verify my thoughts. I love how you guys do not sanewash Trump world. Why has no one in corporate media pointed out all the signs and symptoms of his cognitive decline? I know. They are afraid of retaliation. But you guys could care less about his threats. You stick to the truth and point out just how damaging his insane decisions are going to be for this country. It frightens me to know just how bad it is probably going to get, but at least I won't be blindsided like so many other people who really aren't paying attention or who are getting the sugarcoated, watered down version of the truth. So thanks for explaining to me what's really going on no matter how disturbing.

Happy belated Thanksgiving to you and your family and all the Meidas Mighty. A very long time ago, so it seems , when I began to tune in to YouTube and watching and listening to you guys and my sister and I would share your videos , I was really impressed. What made it more impressive was because I wanted to be sure I was correct in my information, so I began to do my best to fact check you. When I had conversations with certain people I would inform them that I know I'm right because I fact check the fact checkers. I don't need to do that anymore, so please keep doing what you are doing, and keep it true and honest. My biggest concern now is that over 73 million people don't seem to care what the facts are. And you know who they listen to because they say the exact same things what fox and other horrid networks are saying,

Appreciate all your efforts. It's so frustrating that there just isn't more outrage about what is going on. People are generally way too calm about reporting the unbelievable things trump and his followers say and do. He's ruining our country, destroying our democracy. His son rubs cocaine on his gums in front of the world and no one says anything. Musk talks about Alexander Vindman, implying he should be killed, and it's just another quick quote, and on to the next one. I just can't make sense of this. Why aren't all journalists screaming this stuff 24/7 ? So frustrating every day, all day.

Over on God's substack today there is the most. . .unusual? picture that J.D Vance posted on his twitter account to "celebrate" Thanksgiving. It is of him in a flowered dress bending over serving a cake to the family, with trump standing behind him in what can only be described as a compromising position, complete with smug smile on his face.

I'm really not sure at all what would make Vance post a picture like that - I would have copied it here but I don't have the tech skills. I'm wondering whether Musk hacked his account. . .

Always Good To Follow Your Reviews And Uptakes.

Here's What I Would Request You And The Democratic Party To Do.

Dems Are Quietly Working Wth Their Heads Down, While This Ugly Weakling Of A Man Not Yet Sworn In Is Shouting From The Rafters And Calling The Shots For USA .

Please Somebody, Somewhere Shout Out Loud And Let It Be Known That Trump Has Not Yet Been Sworn In.

USA Has Only ONE Governing PRESIDENT And ONE VICE PRESIDENT At A Time.

Why Are The Two Most Unseemingly Presidential Characters Parading Their Uneducated Agendas To The World When They Don't Even Have Their Cabinet Approved Yet.

The Audacity Of It All. I Don't Think They Have Heard The Famous Adage, There Is Many A Slip Between The Cup And The Lip.

And The Wonderful Dems Are Behaving Like The Convicted Criminals While The REAL CRIMINLALS Are Having A Party.

President Of Mexico Should Be Dealing With The Biden Govt. Right Now And Keep Telling Trump, That They Wish To Defer His Agenda To When He Takes Office.

Please Someone Shout Out Loud And Louder. Please, Please, Please. We Are Sick Of Seeing And Hearing His Nonsense.

Thank You.
