President Zelenskyy should never go into any room or in any area where the Russians are. They’ll figure out a way to poison him. Stay safe President Zelenskyy don’t go around Putin or any of his henchman. If you do, don’t drink or eat anything that you don’t bring yourself including your dishes, utensils. Your country needs you.
Kathy, that is "on point" great information for President Zelenskyy. I hope he knows this already. I believe the "Orange Blob" will sell his soul & the US, to "Poddie Putin-Tang" Could they possibly be closer than we think, especially behind closed doors? Mmm?
I would be relieved if I am wrong, but Rs refused to impeach him - Twice - the last time he was in office. They have become even more "dedicated" to him now than they were then. I would be surprised if there are any Cheney's or Kinsingers left in office now that would step out of Trump's line .
And if they don't, everyone needs to make them come to this realization, and quick. Because, they're moving at relative lightning, "bureaucratic," speed.
I am going to believe that all the republicans in office are not insane I am a Progressive I still hope that even republicans don’t want to give up the freedom that we still have. Staying with Trump means giving what we have left up. I am hoping they will join us in the fight to get him out, all of us have to pull together to keep him from destroying us. 💗FIGHT
Most Americans love Canadians! Canada has always been first to help us and real Americans don’t forget. I also learned to love the Canadian people in the 80’s when I was young showing my dogs there.
Burgum makes me want to vomit. He's another out-of-touch; filthy rich; greedy billionaire that wants to take SSA benefits away from grandma; formula from infants whose mothers are forced to give birth to an unplanned pregnancy; and on and on and on!
I think because he tanked so badly in the primary, he’s just tickled pink to get some airtime. There’s nothing like a little attention from Trump to give these spineless politicians a real boost to their ego. These folks are the real RINO’s in the Rep. Party.
Hey, Ben...here's a little tip about Shady Vance. He is equally good at humiliating himself in the continental USA, and it's a lot less costly for the taxpayers. (Where is DOGE when you need them?)
MTN: become the website/podcast for calling for daily/weekly demonstrations in the streets! Every elected official on the left should be walking the walk. Now. This is a coup. Set up a page/site with info on peaceful public demonstrations. Phone numbers are great. Call those folks sitting on their backsides sending wimpy emails saying thanks for contacting me. Bring your homemade sign. Make good trouble! Frightening events I'm watching from France (born in Oregon).
Love the idea with an iformation page Trump's henchmen would probably shut it down. I think it would also be nice to have pages (or videos) that attract younger voters.
I hate Substack because it gets expensive to subscribe to each separate substack, so we are going to lose the next election again if we can't freely listen to those who have excellent information, like Meides Touch. Perhaps I will be banned, which will prove my point.
I hear you on how expensive it can be to have many subscriptions. I can only afford ONE subscription, so I choose this one. But I get way more information then I can even really process from the many free substacks I follow. I very much appreciate all of the sources and wish I could contribute to all of them, but life is always about choices.
A lot of them have some free content or have social media sites or emails. I spend half my day reading emails I think, and when I find someone I really like then I look into subscrbing. Many have a free membership option as well without all the perks of a paid membership but you get some basic info; enough that you can search for more. I try to stagger subscriptions so they aren't due all at once. Maybe someone has other pointers they could share.
I have some of my friends say the same thing. And, my response to them is..maybe give up 1 or 2 things like their Starbucks coffee if it's important to you.
Substack is a safe place where progressives can survive. They have refused to sell their souls to greedy billionaires, nazi sympathizers or fascist christian fundamentalists.
Some people waste thousands of dollars on crack, heroin or cocaine addictions
I wish that was true about Substack, though. Although still new to this platform (since last summer), I've searched about it in google recently and the results showed a very ugly face of Substack where all those evils you correctly of course condemned - were catered to by Substack.
I'm gonna try my luck with Patreon, more recently have been considering it.
But all NONtRumputinist and better yet ANTItRumputinist Americans simply must start rising up against the regime, every day in larger and larger and larger numbers! this situation is like on the hijacked by terrorists airplanes - the hostages i.e. all of us who are ANTItRumputinist must do something meaningful against the terrorists tRumputin&his!!!
Do whatever you want to do because I couldn't care less. You follow your own personal path, best of luck to you. By the way, I never wasted my time on your last bit........MTN has more subscribers and people are showing up to protests.
I'd just add to my comment - yes, Europe especially the genuine NATO-founding Europe must be much more counteroffensive and self-defensive against terrorist putin of russia-his satellites (whoever that they are!) and helpful to Ukraine!!! It is in Ukraine and in Europe where the soul of America and Modern West is defended!!! Slava Ukrayini!!!
Why a such an irritable attitude?? I commend TMN of course and people who are protesting. I've only said I wasn't sure Substack was much better than other so-called "social-media" platforms that are largely hijacked by tRumputinists - a process they i.e. "social-media" silicon valley mafia had started more than a decade ago. The excellent opposition-to-terrorist-putin figure Kara Murza is talking from his own experience (and my experience has been likewise) that the internet in USA is largely hijacked by silicon valley mafia i.e. tRumputinists - something USA should've never ever allowed, to begin with.
There is so much info that is free. Even most give a free option with the subscription page. Just look. Also,in this community, information eventually spreads and is shared by all involved in saving democracy. . So the truth always makes it's rounds.
They took it down because they are changing things with executive orders. Apparently all presidents change things on the website. But since Trump is changing so much I guess they have a lot to redo. It's only temporary until it's back up again..
That is the Senate site. Go look at the crap they have done to the whitehouse site. Also, if I may ask. With you stating in your profile, you are Norwegian, I am under the impression you live there. So, how often do you go to the WH sites, let alone the senate pages? Which all in all, I would understand why you feel things are proper.
Probably a good point. But also, it's not wrong to be upset that the page has changed. But that doesn't mean it's hard or impossible to find. I just googled WHITE HOUSE and CONSTITUTION. And I was redirected to Senate pages. So that's good isn't it?
The point for me is that on the same day he took an oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" he immediately had it removed from the website. His hand was not on the Bible during the oath either. And, it’s not hard to put something back on a website if it was an error.
Our government for many years has been built on lobbyists, and people who have money with agendas. Now this is where we are at. We need to focus on building a nation where there are no lies, cheating and propagating agendas that only work for the rich! Our if our government can send millions of USAID to other countries to feed the Hungary, then we shouldn’t have any homelessness, or families being Hungary here on US soil. I hate to say it people but we all had a hand in putting ourselves in this very moment in time. We not only supported presidents who behind the scenes were a part of oligarchy agenda, but we also supported And helped to build Facebook, Amazon, and Walmart, when we should have Ben putting our money in communities and grass roots movements. I. Ant wait for the day when all this burns to the ground, and we can rebuild. Nation that supports everyone.
House and Senate should have 2 term limits and NO LOBBYING FOR 10 YEARS after they leave office. These career politicians are what make the government suck.
That are the rules in Norway. I live here. And the state is powerful but kinda fair. Enough to not get really pissed off.
But as small as we are, we can have another problem. To recuit the talent without it beeing comeraderie. If we can manage this, I am certain that you would have no trouble finding talent from outside your circle...
And there're laws against lobbying. THat really helps with the campaining. Campaining is done by locals. On stands. We don't have rallies. We also have regulated news outputs. I remember Reagan getting rid of the feir and correct law. That freed up the space so FOX and shitheads could move in.
I also remember reading, at least 20 yeras ago, that sooner or later The American system will make it possible to buy a president. And now it's happended. I'm so sorry. I stand by you all Americans, even the stupid ones. Even the unknowledgable. In the democratic spirit. I will vote for our equal rights. Your right to disagree with me is included. STAY FAST
I've always said - America should've only supported those governments, countries, nations, but, more than anything - individuals who are genuinely dedicated to Democracy, Civil and Human Rights and those are NATO countries, NATO nations and pro-NATO individuals, nobody else!!!
Could never understand - why America wasn't better capable of self-defending its Democracy, Civil and Human Rights and the same values and principles in the others in this world, instead of combining with the irreconcilable - many sorts of contrary-to-those values, principles and practices.
If women ruled the world, we'd be much better off. And by women I mean in the spirit of Scheinbaum, Thatcher, Obama, Meir and definitely NOT Green, Boebert, Palin and Noem.
Folks - have you not noticed for a decade at the very least - the terrorists putin of russia&tRump of usa want to have their own personal world "order" - read - disorder. intoxicated by the mythology of so-called "world's superpowers russia&usa" and their state-religions i.e. so-called "russian" orthodox church and so-called "evangelicals", the two megalomaniacal psychopaths assisted by the islamistic terrorists (hence mbs&his purchase of jared kushner) share the mortally dangerous delusion of being able to partition the world and submit the two parts of it to themselves, with the rest given to the islamistic terrorrists. that is same if NOT EVEN WORSE THAN WHAT hitler WANTED!
Americans, you MUST oust the criminal, felonious tRump-eVIlonmusk-jdvance regime - before it gets too late!!!
PLEASE, begin encouraging Gen-Z to exercise their voice at the polls during midterms. Rather than changing my political affiliation from Rep. to Independent, my mission will be voting against EVERY Rep. candidate who is a Trump sympathizer/election denier. I am a life-long Republican and am sick and embarrassed by this administration and our lawmakers in Washington. Trump showed us blazingly the kind of man he was during his first term. Republicans should be apologetic, not sympathetic to this chaos.
My bff has been a Republican for her entire life. We’re both in our mid 70’s. There hasn’t been an elections where she hasn’t voted straight Dem or Working Party. “ I just want to fuck with them “. lol 😆
Exactly Jordy! Trump does not work. He just holds up orders that are handed to him, stand in front of cameras, spews nonsense, rolls around the golf course, and tries to make every tough guy event about him...Trump is the weakest man to ever take a presidency. Every single step he takes to dismantle our Nation is only waking everyone up to the downright criminality of the Republicans.
Trump knows nothing about Zelensky. Trump asking for Ukraine minerals Makes America look like gold diggers. Same with the reasons he and the Oligarchy wants Greenland the greed is thick as thieves.
Thank you to the Meidas Touch and all affiliates for providing this forum of pro Democracy support. I've gifted a subscription to one of my dear US friends. I am a proud Canadian and will support our pro democracy leaders here in Canada, ( certainly not Pierre Pollievre, who is the far right leaning leader of the Conservative Party, vying for Prime Minister, and also using Trumps playbook to hoodwink young Canadian voters).
We will stand up to the shameful behaviors of Trump and his dispicable inner circle, as they try to destroy democracies around the world, not to mention the citizens of the USA. Sending love and peace and hope to all those who are fearful. Truth will be revealed, autocrats will fail, and democratic justice will prevail for all people. Let us all stay strong in support of our friends in Ukraine, and all countries who seek peace for their people.
President Zelenskyy should never go into any room or in any area where the Russians are. They’ll figure out a way to poison him. Stay safe President Zelenskyy don’t go around Putin or any of his henchman. If you do, don’t drink or eat anything that you don’t bring yourself including your dishes, utensils. Your country needs you.
Such a great point!
An no hotel rooms above the first floor.
Kathy, that is "on point" great information for President Zelenskyy. I hope he knows this already. I believe the "Orange Blob" will sell his soul & the US, to "Poddie Putin-Tang" Could they possibly be closer than we think, especially behind closed doors? Mmm?
His approval rating is the lowest with new incoming presidents.
Should be in the negative!
you ain’t seen nothing yet. Wait till this summer. I hope Senators and Representatives realize he has to be impeached.
I don't have one iota of doubt that Republicans will protect their king no matter what he does. There will be no impeachment.
I hope you’re wrong not all republicans are pieces of garbage like him, and that’s not the word I wanted to use.
I would be relieved if I am wrong, but Rs refused to impeach him - Twice - the last time he was in office. They have become even more "dedicated" to him now than they were then. I would be surprised if there are any Cheney's or Kinsingers left in office now that would step out of Trump's line .
If we make it that long.
Really hope you are right! BE Strong. Be safe.
And if they don't, everyone needs to make them come to this realization, and quick. Because, they're moving at relative lightning, "bureaucratic," speed.
I am going to believe that all the republicans in office are not insane I am a Progressive I still hope that even republicans don’t want to give up the freedom that we still have. Staying with Trump means giving what we have left up. I am hoping they will join us in the fight to get him out, all of us have to pull together to keep him from destroying us. 💗FIGHT
Canada loves the Meidas Mighty !

I love this podcast
No
Welcome, Brian! I hope you find some kindred spirits here!
Hey, Ben...here's a little tip about Shady Vance. He is equally good at humiliating himself in the continental USA, and it's a lot less costly for the taxpayers. (Where is DOGE when you need them?)
MTN: become the website/podcast for calling for daily/weekly demonstrations in the streets! Every elected official on the left should be walking the walk. Now. This is a coup.

I am proud to support 4 substacks.

Europe needs to have Canada just join the EU and expand their power and Canada's. Thus further shutting out the unreliable partner the U.S.A.
Exactly!!!

I really value what you wrote and how you put your money to good use.!
There is so much info that is free. Even most give a free option with the subscription page. Just look. Also,in this community, information eventually spreads and is shared by all involved in saving democracy. . So the truth always makes it's rounds.
THEY HAVE REMOVED THE CONSTITUTION FROM THE WH WEBSITE!
You are joking.... WTF
Serious as a fn heart attack! I have a screenshot can’t post it! Go search! the site is grotesque now! Go search “constitution” on the WH website.
That was done on Jan 20
Not surprised. Soon, the republicrap Dump-loving dictators are going to remove it from our SCHOOLS.
They took it down because they are changing things with executive orders. Apparently all presidents change things on the website. But since Trump is changing so much I guess they have a lot to redo. It's only temporary until it's back up again..
As if the Constitution will be put back under Mump!
It will be back but his way for the next 4 yrs. Unfortunately
I'm looking at it now. It looks good. And normal.
This is what comes up. https://www.whitehouse.gov/?s=constitution&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0r3gNgLqkiDxBlUdddqLfwyLvA-F9mQFhjjOZOmx3xeHNaFLlsYvlR1AA_aem_K7rrSBGqBaplCdQle1tIlQ
Where is the constitution
Just press further on the links, and you'll find it. Section by section.
https://www.senate.gov/about/origins-foundations/senate-and-constitution/constitution.htm
This works
That is the Senate site. Go look at the crap they have done to the whitehouse site. Also, if I may ask. With you stating in your profile, you are Norwegian, I am under the impression you live there.

You are missing the point entirely.
I know. But I read the White House shit. It's just propaganda. It's like a taste of FOX. Is that the point you're making?
Yep you are surely right about FOX..
The point for me is that on the same day he took an oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" he immediately had it removed from the website. His hand was not on the Bible during the oath either. And, it’s not hard to put something back on a website if it was an error.

Actually I agree with you.
Ibsay boot the lobbying out of government completely. Get rid of citizen united
I've always said - America should've only supported those governments, countries, nations, but, more than anything - individuals who are genuinely dedicated to Democracy, Civil and Human Rights and those are NATO countries, NATO nations and pro-NATO individuals, nobody else!!!
Could never understand - why America wasn't better capable of self-defending its Democracy, Civil and Human Rights and the same values and principles in the others in this world, instead of combining with the irreconcilable - many sorts of contrary-to-those values, principles and practices.
When it burns to the ground we get invaded by other counteries who will exploit us. Read history. The fall of Roam French revolution ect
If women ruled the world, we'd be much better off. And by women I mean in the spirit of Scheinbaum, Thatcher, Obama, Meir and definitely NOT Green, Boebert, Palin and Noem.
You are so right!
Ukraine does not have rare earth minerals as defined. It does have rare metals. Namely Uranium, lithium and several other rare metals. Just sayin!
Doesn't matter. Putin wants what they hav e...well. Putin DOES want Ukraine altogether. He'd want it even if it didn't have anything like that.
AND tRUMP wants Ukraine!
Trump wants everything, but then so do his dictator counterparts and they are much smarter than him and cageier.
Yep...
Folks - have you not noticed for a decade at the very least - the terrorists putin of russia&tRump of usa want to have their own personal world "order" - read - disorder. intoxicated by the mythology of so-called "world's superpowers russia&usa" and their state-religions i.e. so-called "russian" orthodox church and so-called "evangelicals", the two megalomaniacal psychopaths assisted by the islamistic terrorists (hence mbs&his purchase of jared kushner) share the mortally dangerous delusion of being able to partition the world and submit the two parts of it to themselves, with the rest given to the islamistic terrorrists. that is same if NOT EVEN WORSE THAN WHAT hitler WANTED!
Americans, you MUST oust the criminal, felonious tRump-eVIlonmusk-jdvance regime - before it gets too late!!!
True…he wants to regain the old Russia territory….
PLEASE, begin encouraging Gen-Z to exercise their voice at the polls during midterms.

Oh, that’s funny. Hopefully Republicans will come out in the mid-terms and vote a moral conscience.
Exactly Jordy! Trump does not work. He just holds up orders that are handed to him, stand in front of cameras, spews nonsense, rolls around the golf course, and tries to make every tough guy event about him...Trump is the weakest man to ever take a presidency.

Trump knows nothing about Zelensky. Trump asking for Ukraine minerals Makes America look like gold diggers. Same with the reasons he and the Oligarchy wants Greenland the greed is thick as thieves.
So no acceptance of the sudden inflation, yet no credit for Biden's great numbers from coming out of trump's disaster of pandemic work. Got it.
