On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben and Brett dive into the latest developments that have everyone talking. World leaders are openly mocking Donald Trump and sharing it on social media, exposing the global embarrassment he continues to be. Meanwhile, Trump makes it clear where his priorities lie, pledging policies that would put billionaires first at the expense of everyday Americans. The GOP's ongoing scandals take another hit as their so-called "FBI Biden informant" is completely exposed as a fraud, unraveling their disinformation effort. On the other side, President Biden's impressive accomplishments continue to showcase real leadership. Ben and Brett break it all down—don’t miss it!

Smart voters understood from the get-go that Trump was lying about everything. Now his own voters are finding out,
The only smart voters were Democrats. And it's extremely disturbing that so many didn't vote!
But his voters are still singing the same song. I just blocked a magat after a more than 50 year friendship because all he had in his toolbox was "woke libs" and so much more bullshit. I finally had enough stupid and blocked his stupid ass everywhere.
I'm too old to listen to lies from stupid people.
Well said. I hope others take your queue.

Congarats - I blocked an entire cousin for the same idiot assed reasons.
I too have been culling long-standing friendships and winding down and away from family members that support the orange one.
It's too bad that people let politics end friendships and destroy families. I am a Dem. and have several Rep. friends. We just do NOT discuss politics because it won't change anybody's mind. I had a good friend who was a Republican and made some disparaging remarks about Dems Iold him I was a Dem and from that time on he wouldn't answer any of my emails. After 3 I quit sending. We had been friends for many, many years and to let politics end that friendship was very disappointing.
It is not politics. It is like being friends with people with no moral or ethical values. It is a bridge too far for me.
✌🏾✊🏾
Same for me but everyone has to deal with the Trumpers in their lives in their own way.
For me it's not about politics. For some reason Trump supporters, generally, at least in my life, won't shut up about him. Then, they get upset with me bc I am letting "politics" ruin our friendship or family ties. So be it - yeah, it's me not them. Whatever. I am sorry your friend picked Trump over you. Says a lot about your friend.
Your friend is a clown 🤡
frankly, I don't understand. These repugnants have different values, morals, and lack of empathy for far too many of our fellow citizens. I do not have friends that are against everything I believe and stand for. Democrats fail to stand for anything, and that is why we lost across the board. Too many corporate Dems, whom I hope will be voted out and dedicated public servants elected, if we ever get a chance to have a legitimate election.
Same here - it's just not worth it - feels as if I am compromising my integrity and moral fiber if I continue in a relationship with them. Everyone has to do what is right for them. For me, it's - I just can't.
I am with you.
Completely understand.
I heard that
Good for you. Just wait! The Republicans are going to get what they did.
We Don’t know how many voted. ! 10,000,000 voters jusf decided to not vote! I seriously doubt it! Just count the votes !
You think you voted !
Did you ?
How so? Their heads are buried in the propaganda machine. Everything they hear and are told will confirm to them that their hardship was put upon them by Democrats, Biden and Democrat policies of the last four years. They will be told as they are now that it may take years to free their country of Democrat polices and the destruction caused by the Biden crime family. In the meantime 2025 will be executed and the oligarchs will become more and more prominent. The coming inflation and job losses will all be blamed on the same Democrat polices and Biden. That narrative will continue for years. They will never hear it. Their empty skulls are a reverberation chamber for fascists, dictators, oligarchs and authoritarians. I'm sorry but they will not respond to the fascist overlords for years to come as you suggest.
Sad but true. Most of us live and learn. MAGAs just live.
I'm sure you're right and it is so sad. We are so fucked.
100%
We need to stand firm and tell these people that Trump is in charge - or soon will be, officially - and it's his sandbox now. Prices stabilized under Biden. Inflation came down from 9.2 to 2.3 percent under Biden. Unemployment was at a 50 year low under Biden. The stock market boomed under Biden. There was no recession under Biden. Bridges and roads and internet were built under Biden. Now Trump has taken over and it's gone to hell. Just keep repeating that.
We must break through when Trump's negative policies hurt the voters who supported him. We must post on social media each time it happens.
The comfort and hope I am getting is from the world outside USA. We did not expect the events in South Korea or Syria. More and more of this sort of events will happen. We do not live in vacuum and as Josh Marshall of TPM said, Presidential power is unitary. Weaken him here, he will be weak everywhere. His buddy Putin will soon see the window and feel the "g", I think.
A lot of his voters are not dumb people. But they have the means to get everything Trump and Co block and prevent general US public from, from outside the US. We have EU residency, properties in two EU nations. This morning my husband I talked about we can get our routine vaccines here in Rome or in Lisbon. They are not dumb but simply selfish evil.
You are talking about a minority of citizens. Most of us have never traveled outside the USA. Certainly, even those of average means who do a cruise, do not actually learn anything about other places. Good for you; residency, properties. That tells me you are far above my economic status in life. I was exactly the type of person who is currently repuglican; evangelical, working class, high school grad. After getting my degrees, and a period of 10 years of deconstruction of the religion, I am now socialist knowing capitalism does not deliver for the average worker. So no, most are just dumb. the ones with money who support this nazi-like movement are the evil persons.
Loved the video of Macron and Tusk making humor of trump and his pathetic macho handshake. Is it possible to hope that world leaders will freeze him out - give him no platforms or credibility. Reading that NATO members are discussing increasing the %GDP required for military support to NATO. And reading that NATO is discussing (recognizing publicly) the need to be better prepared for threats from Russia. Are these indications that trump's ability to threaten NATO is much reduced. If only there were some leaders in the U.S. who would stand up to him.
Remember when info from certain nations that wrote us of barriers to tha Felon’s not being able to enter their countries because of the felonious crime committed?
Yes, his passport is supposed to be no good in certain countries.
I wondered that. Why are they letting this scumbag into their countries?
nor should it be not even HERE!
I understand they are working on it. Nato specifically.
I agree
Where are those leaders.
The silence is very scary and very concerning to me
The money saved in Medicare and Medicaid is supposed to go back to them so they’re not a drain on the programs. I liked the real Bidenomics, it got us back to economic #1 in the world, created jobs, and was on the way to lowering deficit. All good in my book.
I believe trump voters deserve to live the results of their votes. But, I resent that my rights will be ruined too.
Agree 💯.
Do people in the disaster areas know that their relief is being held back by MAGA? If not, that message must get to them ASAP before MAGA lies and re-writes history!
I live in Florida, MAGA country, where people are still waiting for help from FEMA and are threatening FEMA workers. They don't understand, nor do I think they care, how FEMA gets their money. They just want someone to help them rebuild their house. I don't think they'd believe that the people they voted for are the ones screwing them. I'm pretty sure they just blame Biden.
That's where we come in. We should inform them of the truth. If they ignore it, I say shake the dust off my sandals and move on. I won't help a one of them. they deserve their misery. After all, they don't care about the rest of our misery.
Facts not Fox
Are any voters for Trump even aware of anything that goes on with him? You got to wonder how ignorant can they get!
If they are only watching Fox Propaganda channel, they are clueless!
I’ve wondered that many times. How in any world are they sooo gullible as to believe anything that comes out of his mouth? I do believe though that a reckoning is coming to them. Maybe when their children are starving or they can’t afford to pay for their home, car or more importantly food! Surely even they suffer as we do, when it comes to affording anything, any more. I’m so sinful though that I constantly pray for an end to him, one way or another! I don’t specify, I just want him gone.
I just wish he were dead along with his minions. Maybe someday right? I'm not afraid to say it either. Better to die a freeman than to suffer the boot of a dictator.
I completely agree with you. He is a dangerous POS. I hate Trump with every fiber of my being
So do i
As I said, many of us do as well. So much so that it probably isn't healthy. That is why I am limiting my exposure to him. I cannot stand his face, his voice, his hair, his stupid ties, his family, his Mar-a-Lago crowd. I could go on.
I have often wished he would move to Russia. And yes it is hard to believe that they believe his BS. Unfortunately we will all pay the price.
Without Trump doing Putins dirty work here, he has no use for him.
Me too , and as far as feeling guilty , people get what they deserve, I'll never feel guilty. It's normal 🤷🏾
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this.
Me too!
Ha. that's not sinful (I reject the idea of god anyway, what a mass of contradictions and inconsistencies the entire mythical entity is) it's rational. I hate trump. I wish termination of him and all these entire billionaire nazis, including the scum repugnants in congress, and let's throw in the liars in the media as well.
Like many of us out here, you must have Trump voters in your life that are oblivious to reality. No matter what you say, it doesn't compute to them. Cultlike for sure.
Definitely. You can’t even explain it to them. They do not even know, and don’t seem to want to!
Personally, I think Trump voters are mostly racist and misogynistic. Not a popular reason but I think it's true - at least in my experience. Oh they say the economy but can't really say anything but gas, eggs, drugs, immigrants! They make no sense but they will say I am not a racist - race has nothing to do with it - yeah sure Jan. Democrats in Congress are not much help here. They start with we know prices are high .... Democrats need to be on offensive and are always trying to gain traction with the media - never happens.
It's about time for a hurricane to pass through Mar-A-Lago!
Ah, now I hadn’t thought of that. That would be interesting. Just as long as no one’s hurt.
Why? Anyone there at MAL is not a friend to America anyway. Let the lot of them vanish.
I know. Unfortunately, most of the recent hurricanes have hit the gulf coast where I live.
You Guys Rock!! Thank You for sharing this podcast for Free, because you have a lot of people out there that can't afford to Pay for News these days. Good Job and will reStack ASAP 🙏💯👍😘
I also want to thank you … as a paid subscriber I love that you also open your network to those that can’t financially support you at this time. Kinda the opposite of the Democratic Party who wants me to constantly pay for my opinion
House MAGAs are taking a cue from NC MAGAs who also passed a 'hurricane relief' bill with no hurricane relief but plenty of power grabs that strip authority away from Democratic Governor-Elect Josh Stein, Democratic AG-Elect Jeff Jackson, and Democratic Supervisor of Public Instruction Mo Green.
Remember, the power grabs and cruelty are the point with these low-lifes.
Today’s podcast at the end was a bit of a downer.
I agree the Democrats need to get loud, but how do we as the people make that happen?
Both my senators are republican and we know what that means .
You think Biden and Harris could motivate the Congress to be more outspoken.
Don’t you all have anyone in the Congress to express this message to the Democrats?
The Republicans are going to follow their king and the Democrats need to defy him for the good of the people!!
Though many people put this king in place!!
Sadly it appears they are more interested in retaining their power than serving their government.
Loud where? MSM? No one will listen.
They have free access to the postal service. They have email they could use to call to action and inform instead of the idiotic emails they send out asking for money. I am sick of that. One way conversation. I unsub to each as they come in.
The red voters in my rural virginia county have a fb group - they are clearly not getting the same news. They are fully in on trump and everthing he says and does. Remorse is not happening. Every time I try to tell them anything, they go for my jugular and call me a liar.
Yesterday's ringing the bell at the Stock Exchange, was priceless! An omen of things to come! DJT, BEG, BEG, President Biden for an absolute pardon, and step away from the presidency. Live out your remaining days, months, years, golfing, eating, traveling, and drinking whatever you want, and give the country back to those who had no trouble turning the economy around, bolstering the Stock Exchange, and stabilizing world affairs. After all, that is why you ran, to stay OUT OF JAIL. You know it. We know it, and you know you want it. Be smart for once in your life. You know you're inadequate for running our great country. Negotiate and structure a for a full pardon for yourself. Live your last days, months years on earth a free and blissfully happy man. Do yourself a favor....!
I can assure you, if you proceed, we, United State Citizens, will make every day your in the Whitehouse a dramatic challenge and your sleeping hours will be spent deprivation. Who's with me?
Agreed Janice!!
Love the Meidas Touch. You guys are doing so much. This is probably too big of an ask, but here it goes. Please have links below your videos/podcasts so that I have the info to write to my congressmen and senators. In theory I could watch/listen and then retrace your research, and then look up if my congressmen/senator was involved in whatever crazy thing they are doing, and then write to them/share on social to my neighbors. But, in reality, I work full time, I commute, I’m raising my kids, and trying to start my own business, so I end up listening while driving/watching at work and then clicking on the next podcast/video and not letting my representatives or neighbors know what is going on. I’m in MAGA-land so I need to be armed with facts, because I’m surrounded by people steeped in the right-wing swamp brain rot propaganda. Last weekend I had to endure a parade of pickups waving flags equating Chump with Jesus. A local hair dresser is being slandered on Facebook for making a video saying she was sad that Harris lost. Please have links to: articles of news that you mention, the actual bills if possible or bill numbers in Congress being proposed so that I can reference them in letters. Then I could write a letter that says “Dear Congressmen/Senator Shameful, I am disappointed in your vote on bill #4547 to end a basic human right. Or for your participation to aid, abet and harbor child sex traffickers by voting to not release the Matt Snakes ethics report.”
You are so much stronger than I fear I could be in the face of what you encounter! Bravo! I know there are many pockets of tRump followers in my area however it's mostly flags on homes, a few on p/u trucks, nothing as "in the face" as you describe. Of course I'm in a blue state and sure hope it stays this way. Stay strong.
I had a little bit of time today because it's the weekend. I looked up the Direct File letter and saw that my congressman from Idaho wasn't one of the 27. Next, I went to his page on the house.gov website and wrote to him anyway: "Please tell your colleagues, the 27 House Republicans who wrote the letter urging Direct File to be ended on day one by Executive Action, that it would harm the American people. I like the free tax filing services from the IRS known as Direct File. Most Americans like not having to go through a for-profit company to do a government task."
Love it: "What are you talking about? I can't lower prices." Precious.
Thank you for not posting Trump's face and voice. Whenever I see or hear him, I see red and literally get sick to my stomach. I have never hated anyone as much as I hate him. He is destroying this country and is now selling us out to the highest bidder. It's so infuriating! If foreign leaders can stand up to him and call out his idiocy, why can't our Democratic leaders? What are they afraid of? If you don't have the balls to stand up to Trump, step down and let someone who does take over. Get your head out of your ass and do something!
I think you need a regular segment called HEY! I Didn't Vote For THAT! Show Trump voters realization they have been truly conned. Or point out Trump's pre-capitulation stating he will be unable to lower groceries prices because it's just too hard and contrast that with his inevitable proactive greenlighting of the Kroger/ Albertsons merger.
Maybe we should become a state of Canada
I live 5 miles from Canada and if they take me I'd be gone. Unfortunately I am a retiree that can pay my way but I don't fit into their requirements.
How can we tell if the voters who put Trump over the top on the basis of their perception of the economy are seeing how far away from their interests the Trump reality is? …if they aren’t, ie if they are getting the MAGA spin, then what does it take???
Even if MAGA winds up destitute and dying, they will never admit their own folly. It will be the fault of someone else.
We haven't been respected for 9 years!!!!!! I'm personally going to send my grocery bill to his "bogus" reelection! Demand recompense!!! Seriously.
I have cancelled Sling TV and Wash Post and subscribed to you for annual sub. Happy to support you and your work, for my children's sake. Cancelling ABC/Disney as well. Next thing - will children be required to wear Brown Shirts when visiting Disney parks? Any outrageous news seems possible these days. We need to roll back Citizens United and the Electoral College! Onward!
Me too
Luana it’s not about the GOP MAGA are horrible people #Project2025, JD Vance wrote the forward Project Forward
His supporters aren't smart enough to blame the right person. They'll blame who Trump tells them to blame. I'm glad there are a lot of Canadians following Meidas. I want them to know that there are a lot of Americans who don't support Trump.
The world is not mocking the United States of America per se. They are mocking the individual Donald Trump. He doesn't represent America. He is a Russian asset. He is for the rich and the racist white supremacists. The other countries are part of the resistance to Trump's agenda. The resistance is international. Once Trump's fraudulent win is exposed and Trump and his co-conspirator go to prison the world will be a better place. Accountability is needed for Trump and his enablers.
Everyone might benefit from reading How to Stand Up to a Dictator, by Maria Ressa (Nobel Peace Prize winner in 2021). Her story of standing up through her journalism is a multi-decade roller-coaster of courage, heart, community, data, facts, integrity, team-work and it is still ongoing as the Philippines is still under the thumb of the Marcos dynasty. Over time, her efforts to try to effect change at FB proved unworkable despite what she knew and could prove. But FB did not care. She says we cannot fix the issues without fixing the effect of these tech companies... who amplify the anger/hate/dividion because it pays... It is the intersection of tech and MSM and influencers and the deliberate mechanisms that tie all three together that the MAGAts excelled at (they must have learned from Duterte - the prior strongman in the Philippines who perfect that with FB's help). Anyway, its a great book, highly worth reading.
Well done. Great analysis. Wake up America
To reiterate Ben and Bretts comments, just use the KISS factor when pushing our message.
Also, I’d like to extend all of our support to our allies. Most importantly Canada and Mexico. Do whatever you must do to stand up to the MAGA world and Trumpism. We DO support you!!
They’ve ALWAYS done all of this in our faces. They’ve ALWAYS spiked the ball. And why not. They know the left will do nothing. The right BELLOWS lies, the left peeps truth. But, it’s still working: the Democrats do nothing, teach America nothing, let these gangster crooks and robbers do what they want.
When traitor tRump "takes over" the White soon to be Black house we will find out what his voters think after he takes away many freedoms like freedom of speech, and maybe even the right ot own a weapon. After all he wouldn't want an armed citizenship. They might finally realize what a horrible person he is and decide to start a revolution. I'm 88 years old so I may not see the damage tRump will do to our soon to be ONCE great country but my kids and grand kids will.
Medias Touch, Legal AF, Harry Litmann, pondering Politics, thr Bullwark, this is where it’s at. Thr truth. If I were to share with those who believe in Trumo; this will not place one fraction of a dent in thr mindset.
When ppl see the change or feel the pain( it’s often the only thing we respond to, overall)
I want to be that person that isn’t afraid of the truth, what it means and what I can do to change that outcome)
Yrs ago I did think thr R party was conservative. They talked like chriastians. I did not understand many at the top we’re getting tax breaks. I do think many D’s benefit from this too!
I am all about the character over the lies.
I have always hated being lied to. Don’t we all feel being manipulated? And to what end?
I am very fearful of what’s here already.
Stay in the field and vote no to what DT wants.
DT is not smart nor strategic. He does need grandiose attention. U cannot deny this if u watched him ring that bell, u cannot deny this if u watched his rally’s, u also cannot deny he had great trouble putting 3 sentences together.
I have family that seems to notice every sentence I speak if it’s not grammatically correct, stated with the clarity of words that fit a public speaker. Their emphasis on how well they write, speak, talk, smell, (it’s a thing. )
So then w all , you can’t tell everyone in the room is not agreeing w you?
I’m anxious this Dec , but so are a great number of ppl. How does one get someone closed minded to hear better?
Ben, you should run for office.
I'm so glad that my friend told me about you guys!! I wish that I had known about you a long time ago. I am not a frump supporter, I just need to know what is really going on. :)
Hi from Louisville Ky. We want to wish you all in the MTN family a very Merry Christmas. You are doing a phenomena job. I respect all of your guys/gals on keeping Democrats and needy Republicans trying to pulling away from Trump-ville. I am part of the Mighty Might. I am not in a join but in support by spreading and sharing with friends all info and coverage to them. Some may be turned off but I have them snagged. When they ask what is the story- tells me my fish casting is slowly netting a new Mighty Might.
And in the distance...Kamala Harris whispers..."I told you so"
You don’t show ITS face, I don’t say ITS name. Since ITS Project 2025 holy henchMEN and Cabinet government destroyers want to drag America back in history, I believe we should honor ITS history by using only the original family name Drumpf and spread the criminal origin story that brought this plague upon America from Germany.
The “holy henchmen” you speak of here are IMO Nazis. They’re cloaked/disguised under the name of “Christian nationalist.”
Yes, WHITE Christian Nationalists represented by Heritage Foundation and others around the world. Here’s a clarifying article.
https://isps.yale.edu/news/blog/2022/10/understanding-white-christian-nationalism
That idiot who keeps insisting that Canada should be the 51 st state. Well said because if it were, at least 99 percent of the population would have voted against him. Because Canada has the population the size of California, that would have been another 54 electoral votes for Harris Walz. Goodbye orange idiot and I’m all in for that!
So trump wants to play hardball. How about this---For Americans to be able to get to Alaska, by land, they have to use a Canadian highway. We will get Trudeau to turn this road into a TOLL highway, at $1500 each way. We know that they are sending drug addicts,mentally disturbed people and murderers. If they think their groceries are expensive, wait until $3k is applied to each load.
Trump is evil , your handed the best state of the nation , all he has to do is maintain it , but only a fool would destroy a country , however we the people are not going away , or going back . It's unfathomable that the Democratic party are sitting by saying nothing . The fact that trump isn't in office yet , and , is already projecting about what he can't do is not surprising." Long live maga , or how long will maga live bc trump dgaf"
Thr litigation all just folded. He either won’t be much of a oerson and in 4 yrs( if another R wins they will try and pardon or change ehats an outcome that should happen. )
I’m about accountability not revenge.
But if many voted for Trump but what? He turned the US into a military chriastian nation?
What about those that do not feel the same about that?
Religion is what unites over free will?
This is the part that confounds me.
I use to want a chriastian as president. I no longer want this. I would prefer a man who honors and loves God. But who is that? Trumo shows me nothing of what he’s done or has said shows me he knows what God has ever said?
So they're going to make it illegal to file your own taxes? You have to hire an accountant or some third party hack? That's how we need to couch that movement to kill free online tax filing. Magarabids are going to force you to spend money to file your taxes.
Ben, your optometrist can provide you with no-glare lenses. It’s a distraction.
Hey read the current article from the Atlantic and Mitch McConnells calls Trump and Musk despicable
Musk aims to cut Major Entitlement Programs
I love The Meidas Touch they are awesome

I love this thank you @MeidasTouch
Thank you so much as I had a car accident 😢
What’s the penalty malpractice of Trumps actions and selling the health and safety of us and our children and our children’s children!
This is criminal conduct. All the lies and false promises he’s made ! MAGA and Trumps followers had better be as loud as they were complaining about Biden’s great success.
You believed his lies and you knew they were lies !
How could you do this? He will try to blame others as he always does ! Don’t forget !!!!!
Trump says he’s not responsible for anything!
He never said he would lower food prices! The typical Republican response to everything! But we hsve Maga and Republicans who believed all his lies. ! World is mocking Trump and the United States
Watch this episode. I DARE you keep placing your faith in Drumft! What a loser and a conman. People are so stupid!
😇
It’s time to watch this video NOW
Let the Republicans do their stic. People will see
GREAT Chat Ben & Brett. Very Interesting!
The handshake video IS Too Funny!
Irish& Living here in🇮🇪, Know🍊 WILL Affect The World, (but especially USA)
Can barely Believe People Can FALL For 🍊’s Shite….!
Really Heartbroken for Ye ALL (That DIDN’T Vote For 🍊) Especially Disabled,Elderly&Vets’.
Take Care! Love from 🇮🇪
And I find it rather amusing all those colored people who rally for Trump …and not a one of them are in his cabin does anyone else find that amusing
So I do have a questions in regards to Bezos n Zuckerberg… have any of these companies like these in the past ever donated to the presidential inauguration that part I am curious about… because we need to make sure ahead of time this is not normal
Good point, Brett. Our country is for sale to the highest bidder. And too, put the Republicans on their back foot by putting forth legislation to save the very things that they want to destroy.
Which is why I now have nothing but contempt for the tiny larger half that voted for all these scumbags. And, I am not sure people are ACTUALLY waking up and realizing anything. Who? Who are the ones who are actually waking up. They are all delusional, and filled with idiocracy. We are doomed. And a large reason is because the Democrats have failed in their resistance to all this; they have failed to deliver, and continue to be stupid.
MAGA's going to implode. MAGA shall be so damn upset, I can project MAGA's future so busy pointing fingers at each other, fist fighting. and no time left attacking real Americans.
RFu€K Jr’s worm-riddled thoughts will sicken and KILL poor people (with concepts of a health plan) and deport some sick people as biological weapons to other countries, AS PLANNED. (I can generate conspiracy theories too🤪)
Make Americans GROVEL Again!
5 1/2 weeks till Inauguration Day. Where are the Democrats? Why is there no fight coming from Biden administration?
Could it be they think they still need to comply with a peaceful transfer? I'm not encouraging they do otherwise but sure would like to see some action/resistance on thepart of our lawmakers and representatives! As I keep asking, where's the Cavalry? I guess it's up to the common folk. I've never been here before. It's scary as hell.
Well Trump fought and had a frigging Insurrection. I would not suggest any of that but at least some leadership. I just saw Biden's ear to ear smiling grin with Trump sitting next to him in front of the roaring fire. Then Kamala's disappointing concession speech and still being all smiley..like wtf? All's I know is I am praying my husband and I can move out of the country.
Trump voters shall reap what they sow.
You are doing such a great job. Thanks for all you vuys do.

Trump does not spend one second thinking about the American people
Thank you for your truthful reporting! Thank you for standing up to haters! I will spread the word about you everywhere I can.
Petulant child
They all lie like they're telling the truth
I thought you were doing the weave for a minute there, Ben 🎃
Thank you so much for this information. It really helps to keep us up-to-date without all the BS that we get from so-called main stream media now.
Not your best broadcast. It sounded like an MSNBC rant. I’ll try again when there’s news or reporting on a strategy forward.
But from listening I have to give Tump credit where credit is due: he understands the stupidity of the American public and has no shame in profiting from it.
Infuriating to those who DID UNDERSTAND what Bad den/Harris had accomplished and what was at stake.
Sorry to admit but yes, Donald does want to burn it all down. So very similar to the Chinese Cultural Revolution, along with the same clothing such as red MAGA caps, instead of a little red book, they have the 900 page Project 2025. I’m sure we will be viewing “self criticism” sessions by former officials.🤮⚠️🤮⚠️
Had a family person literally during another family member who was in Hospice on Nov6th took a trumo victory lap via text. They were so pleased that Trump had won, They couldn’t contain their excitement already k owing I was not in their same opinion.
I honestly do not know what would need to happen to awaken this .
What’s new with the Felon?
Why am I not able to watch this?
President Biden did a lot of good things for the American people. Then he blew it all up by refusing to be the "bridge" President he said he would be. He let his arrogance and ego come before protecting democracy. That's not real leadership -- that's hubris. I'm sorry Joe's ego was damaged, but that's nothing compared to what will happen to ordinary Americans now that Trump and his thugs have regained control of this country.
I have a problem with your response. I understand your sentiment but disagree with your perspective. Holding good people entirely responsible for the actions of evil people is a mistake I see too many Democrats, liberals, and progressive make. A lot of people demand that we must be held accountable for the malevolence of others when we should instead focus our righteous ire on the GOP. It's like blaming a domestic violence victim for "making the abuser mad" instead of calling out and stopping the abuser's terrible behavior.
It's also not clear that if Biden had not run that whoever was nominated was a surefire winner in the general election. I believe this is a myth we should set aside. It's also another example of thinking it's only Biden's fault when Harris lost the election. DJT's campaign was built on lies and garbage. Thinking that if only Biden had stepped aside would have been effective while glossing over the heinous propaganda is how we delude ourselves from targeting who's really responsible.
I find nothing in your reply to disagree with -- in fact, I agree with most of it! If anything is amiss, I would suggest that you inferred from what I said that I think it's only Biden's fault that Harris lost. Far from it! I think a number of mistakes were made by Harris, including her VP pick. And you are entirely correct that it's not clear that whoever was nominated -- had Biden kept his word -- would have won. We can't do the control. I most definitely do not believe that "if only Biden has stepped aside" . . . but I do believe that had Biden kept his word, there would have been a far greater chance of having a successful candidate. As far as the heinous propaganda, I don't gloss over it. I fully understand that the propaganda is WHY Trump's base loves him. They don't see it as propaganda but as wonderful bed-time stories to with which to console themselves.
In any event, I very much appreciate your well thought out and written reply. Thank you very much for posting it.
Yeah they’ve been acted like their in power since day after election!
"resistance"
Sounds good, but how?
"Stay the course , never give up you are needed "
Sadly, not true. We simply have no power. If we did, none of this would be happening, and of course, we'd have nice things in America, too. We don't. Remember what corporations have done when they outsourced our good jobs to unregulated countries with no labor laws and no environmental laws. We are the new 3rd world. Mired in poverty, sickness, early death and child early death. Fathers will have to pimp out their children and their wives to their masters in order to survive. Just like the days of Dickens and the early days represented in the books The Iron Heel (Jack London), The Jungle (Upton Sinclair) and of course, Charles Dickens himself. (BTW, those books are free as ebooks from Gutenberg.org. We, the people, have already been sold into slavery.
I admire your optimism. However, the American people as a whole are apparently either too lazy, too stupid, or too comfortable. Otherwise, where the hell are they? Our brothers and sisters in other countries have more courage. THEY are out in the streets, by the droves. Where are we? Well, like me, letting their fingers do the walking and the protesting. I am too old to get out into the streets. At 73, falling down can be fatal. Good luck to all you younger folk. It is your world, and your children's future that is now at stake. I don't have much faith in our country's people, and even less faith in our ability to overcome the now overwhelming influence and power of the extremist right wing. I grew up in an entirely different country than we now live in.
I continue to support MTN, continue to spread the word, pass out 'business cards' with the network name and pro-democracy advocacy, as well as try to tell as many Democrats who may not yet know about this wonderful Meidas Mighty group, but I don't really have too much faith in a rising up of people. Otherwise, Marx would have been right over 150 years ago. Sadly, the working class won't rise up and help themselves. And no one else has stepped up either.
How well WILL we react when they come for our neighbors or ourselves, marching us off in the middle of the night in black SUVs? Not easy when you are arrested and stripped of your rights and your property.
I understand what you are saying. I never said I would willingly go off into the sunset in passivity. I merely meant that WE HAVE NO POWER to be making the changes that the American people WANT but simply cannot get our government to do what the majority wants, and that is because of capitalism, and it's corrosive influence on the democratic process, which we currently do not have. Further, I can't see the resolution of this during our lifetimes. It is going to take more than 'some' efforts by less than 1/2 of our population to make a difference, and that, frankly,. is going to take physical action and potential arrests and potential loss of ability to rent homes, buy homes, get a job, or even get access to government programs that get tied into if you've been arrested or many other things used to control the little people ) or other government programs. I personally have told a number of folks, if they come banging on my door in the middle of the night, I'm locked and loaded, and will take one of them out before they then take me out. I also did not mean I am going to lay down and accept this crap. But mostly, I meant, if we, the people, had the POWER to do anything, we wouldn't be shouting at the TV in frustration and/or fury because the pugs are insane, and the Dems, for the most part in the higher leadership places, simply seem to be either deaf, stupid, or willfully ignoring what needs to be done. Just as we helplessly watched the Jan 6 Committee give all their great findings, and then the Senate simply refuse to convict. So. yeah How must power did we have? Why hasn't DJT been already placed in jail? Mmm, because judges either have failed us, or were corrupt (Supreme monarchs, Aileen Cannon) or others too cowardly to bring charges.
Anyone remember Vincent Bugliosi's book about someone, anyone who was an Attorney General, bringing charges of murder against George W Bush because he lied us into war and caused all our American soldier's deaths? Not one AG that had the power and the standing ever followed this up. Vincent Bugliosi, if we all remember, was the prosecutor who successfully convicted Charles Manson even though he didn't actually commit those crimes. So, as average, non-connected, non-wealthy people, we have no power except in a mass number, and frankly, the American people have also failed us. I'm still waiting to hear about how this election was not legitimate, although our side is just ever so timid to even talk about it, except Greg Palast and a few others. So maybe this explains my mindset. I don't think we are that far apart on how we feel.
Absolutely, nobody is going to bow to swine .
