Of course Trump loves raising his tariffs and he had the audacity to blame Joe Biden for the Texas floodings, when he's the one gutting weathering programs🤬🤬
Great point! Lincoln did free the slaves and aloud dark skinned humans the freedom to roam our streets. As long as tRump is blaming past presidents for today’s messes and undoing their work and our American democracy, he might as well condemn presidents as far back as LINCOLN!!!
In 2028 he will blame George Washington for starting the tradition of only two terms for President. And them blame FDR for winning four terms that caused the 22nd amendment to be added to the constitution limiting him to just two terms because he claims the 2020 election was stolen from him by Biden. 😏
Ludicrously that very well COULD happen …When your brain is nothing but demented and is now encased with Mush! He who nostalgically thinks he’s living in Nazi Germany with his pal Adolph who’s tempting him with ideas for the next best big beautiful torture to inflict on We The People!
Weather and air traffic controllers equipment go hand & hand. Most meteorologists work from the airports. That’s why we had so many plane crashes after tRump fired most of the controllers of both weather & planes, during his 1st term! My guess is that the equipment wasn’t as out of date as the unqualified personnel from Trumps galaxy. Everybody blames the equipment!
Absolutely! Kristi Noem blamed it on Biden also. But yes, the networks are covering this travesty exactly like MTN. I think most people will call them out on blaming Biden. If those cuts would not have been made many lives would have been saved. People in that area are probably used to being evacuated because of flooding…but they have to be given the heads up to do so. Please pray for the families affected🙏😪😞
Also, Harris would've made sure there weren't gonna be cuts on weathering sciences & her administration would've sent out warnings hours (or even a day or longer) before this storm happened.
Harris would have won if it weren’t for Elon Musk paying for trumps scampaign. He had prize drawings for up to 1/4 million $$$$. All you had to do to enter was vote TRUMP for President!
From the Texas news …The excuse for not having weather warning sirens was the Governor & people in charge of voting for it, agreed that the annoying alarms wake them up during the night! So they are saying it’s not possible to turn your phone off when you don’t want to be disturbed and in a safe area! But campers & others in the affected area, don’t have the right to have the loud warning alert on their phones and make their own decisions to keep phones on in bad weather situations. So the ones voting to NOT have weather alerts share the blame with Trump for firing weather forecasters! We have to do better going forward!
I have faith that we will be hearing from all the parents of drowned & missing children…Very soon!
Let’s see Christy Noem talk her way out of that! When she first made the announcement this morning there was NO CONDOLENCES! Yet she got right into the blame game & it’s not Trumps fault! I pray she goes down when he does!
If there was even a hint of the storm, I am certain parents would not have allowed their kids to go on a camping trip! Hopefully they can relocate that camp to another state property. That is if they can find one not being auctioned off by Trump administration!

The Democrats need to start campaigning now, hitting the airwaves and social media with ads about the Big Ugly Bill. The Democrats need to be more vocal now. They need to hold town hall meetings. I am emailing my senators and congressman and I will start calling them. There is no way the Democrats can stay quiet on anything.
Democrats may also have to finally realize that being fair and decent isn't going to work anymore against the gop. Time to get in the gutter and fight dirty as they do. Dems won't even have to lie, the truth of what the gop is doing is bad enough.
I have said this since Michelle O, who I loved, said "when they go low, we go high". NOOOOOOOO! IN THE GUTTER! They don't understand anything else. Look what being "nice" did while they were planning their takeover and coup for 50 yrs. Gloves are off!
I agree absolutely. They are too afraid to get rough. They should have made TV commercials juxtaposing film clips of Mussolini and Hitler with clips of Trump.
LBJ made a commercial that said Goldwater would cause a nuclear blow up of the World. It was a lie, but it worked.
For what it's worth, back in the late 50's Goldwater gave a speech at the secondary school which my brother Richard attended. Richard said Goldwater boasted that our missiles could hit the men's room in the Kremlin.
Absolutely right. Dems need to explain the brutal part of the bill…do not mince words.Show the voters that you are as angry as they are. Tell them the horrible lies told by 47 and his minions, every lie, every graft. This is no longer political debate…it’s political war.
The gop would love that, but I don't think they can make that happen. Yet. They are trying the next best thing, gerrymandering of districts and voter suppression. We read it daily through Marc Elias and Democracy Docket. And also their investigations into any dissent, like ActBlue for instance. Sick party. Stuart Stevens was right when he said the gop was willing to cheat their way to power.
You used the very phrase I wanted to use “grow a spine”, the news media needs to grow a pair and start reporting the TRUTH about Trump, about his endless lies and false stories and about the lies his sycophants are sharing too. For too long the news media have been too chicken to name and shame Trump’s disgraceful behaviour. This has to end….. NOW!
And every day, some new chaotic event to forget a previous one. Remember how this all started with a birther lie! So are there any tariffs or not? Why do prices keep going up?
My favorite lie is that his family came from a lovely town in Sweden. A compulsive liar and a bully and a megalomaniac and a very lucky SOB who was never forced to tell the Truth— his school grades, his taxes, his cheating on his wives— but someday the truth will be obvious even to his cult.
'The media', once they saw the ratings that coverage of Trump's rants were getting, accelerated Trump's exposure to the world! What may have started with Fox promotions, quickly morphed into EVERY MSM news outlet repeating the brain dribblings of Trump's, on their own networks. Those, non Fox outlets were as much to blame for spreading the 'word salad' of Trump, throughout the nation. Did it matter that Fox/Trump was clever at using a micro nugget of truth, while making outlandish lies regarding..... everything? Did those defending Trump/Fox, pick out THE small token of truth in defense of the broader falsehood? Did the short attention span of the public play into this phenomena? Of course!
Biden had a reaction to cold medicine or water that was spiked by someone and should have gone to the ER. We all saw Donnie lead an insurrection with people he gathered who wanted to hang Mike Pence. 1500 people lawfully convicted and he pardoned them. Where’s the justice in that ??
I sincerely appreciate your reporting. However, while there may be cracks, I am seeing an administration that is virtually out of control, thumbing it’s nose at any judicial oversight and outrightly stating they do not have to follow the law because they have presidential immunity. Lives have been and will continue to be lost while there is even one living and breathing MAGA person in DC. Speaker “liar” johnson says he prays for guidance and God has spoken to him. So I guess God approves of people getting picked up off our streets and sent to their new concentration camp(s) ( I’m sure red state governors are chomping at the bit to build their own with the windfall $$ speaker johnson has gotten Congress to approve for them to build our very own death camps). And further, I guess God approves if SNAP benefits being taken from our most vulnerable citizens along with their healthcare. Yes, please, continue to expose these evil doers but I think we all need to realize fascism is alive and well in America under this regime. We must all fight together but it may take a lifetime now to undo what has taken over America.
As long as trump wields Presidential Pardon Power we are in deep shit.
He gets people to do what he wants, even though it is illegal, BECAUSE they know if the shit hits the fan Trump will pardon them.
Look at Emile Bove 3rd in command at Justice department, telling a room full of DOJ lawyers we may have to tell the courts to go F themselves. He feels free to say that becuase Pam Bondi will never prosecute him, and trump will issue him a preemptive pardon before he leaves office. Just wait, there are going to be binders full of pre-emptive Presidential pardons in the Trump White House.
Hindsight being 20-20 I see now why Biden pardoned his family. Look at what we have now at Justice Dept. It is a damned good THING he pardoned his family.
His happy brithday parade that nobody went to, now how much is he spending to take the International Space Station Shuttle out of the Smithsonian to fly it to Texas. What a waste of my tax dollars. A complete waste of money.
I personally don't trust major media anymore, unless they are covering local weather. Thank you for continuing to bring truth to power. And looking forward to the Elbows Up Meidas Canada faction.
Corinna, let's go with "most" rather than "all". Surprisingly, Lee Enterprises has daily newspapers in Corvallis, Albany and nearby towns in the central Willamette Valley of Oregon that actually are willing to include critiques of all sides of the spectrum in their coverage of domestic and foreign events.
Unless some influential Republican lawmakers and contributors stand up against this lying administration led by the biggest liar in history it’s going to be a very long,
Disastrous four years! Thank you for your continued coverage of real issues.
Trump’s an ultimate failure, but never underestimate him as he is constantly planning to stay in power. He has allowed monies to be taken from important programs like FEMA to help him build ICE, a militia, that I think, he will use to stay in power. He is giving millions, if not billions, to grow ICE, giving them incredible salaries, vehicles and probably free healthcare. He is doing this for wealthy people who resent immigrants. I know because I met one from Massachusetts, who, by the way had Fox News on in his home. This person doesn’t care that Trump is a felon and insurrectionist. He only cares about getting these “criminals” out of his state. However, by removing and firing qualified personnel and replacing them with loyalists Trump has jeopardized the safety of all Americans!!
I’m proud to be a Meidas Touch supporter. Thank you for being a leader in truth reporting. All the Trump regime does is lie and cover-up. They are all failures and pure evil to their very cores. Unfortunately for America, the next step in their plans is to prevent fair elections. For trump the only fair election is one where his side wins and remains in power.

Of course Trump loves raising his tariffs and he had the audacity to blame Joe Biden for the Texas floodings, when he's the one gutting weathering programs🤬🤬
Isn’t that pathetic? in what world would it be Biden’s fault he’s been out of office for seven months now! 🤷♀️
Fully expect him any day now to say "It's all Abraham Lincoln's fault. . ."
Yup, everyone's in his line of fire; it's not stretching this psychopath's shenanigans to blame Abraham Lincoln for all his( own...)lies.
Great point! Lincoln did free the slaves and aloud dark skinned humans the freedom to roam our streets. As long as tRump is blaming past presidents for today’s messes and undoing their work and our American democracy, he might as well condemn presidents as far back as LINCOLN!!!
In 2028 he will blame George Washington for starting the tradition of only two terms for President. And them blame FDR for winning four terms that caused the 22nd amendment to be added to the constitution limiting him to just two terms because he claims the 2020 election was stolen from him by Biden. 😏
The rate tRump is going WE won’t be here by 2028!
Ludicrously that very well COULD happen …When your brain is nothing but demented and is now encased with Mush! He who nostalgically thinks he’s living in Nazi Germany with his pal Adolph who’s tempting him with ideas for the next best big beautiful torture to inflict on We The People!
The worst of times is what we’re experiencing
😂
MAGA still blames Obama & Biden for their own fuck ups and it's really annoying😒
Yep. It has gotten really old.
Just 6 months. America has come to ruin in just 6 months.
MAGA World. It's a different place, a different reality.
It's called projection...
Yeah...if the system's technology was so old, Twumpy...how come you didn't upgrade it when you became Prez in 2017????
Cause he's that stupid and he wants to control the weather with his sharpie, again🙄
🤣🤣good one! How does paw paw keep finding the sharpies.
Agree. It's like he expects us to "forget" he was already a do nothing prezzie. So bizarre.
Weather and air traffic controllers equipment go hand & hand. Most meteorologists work from the airports. That’s why we had so many plane crashes after tRump fired most of the controllers of both weather & planes, during his 1st term! My guess is that the equipment wasn’t as out of date as the unqualified personnel from Trumps galaxy. Everybody blames the equipment!
He is nutsy koo koo, and that should be the headlines here and in MSM.
Absolutely! Kristi Noem blamed it on Biden also. But yes, the networks are covering this travesty exactly like MTN. I think most people will call them out on blaming Biden. If those cuts would not have been made many lives would have been saved. People in that area are probably used to being evacuated because of flooding…but they have to be given the heads up to do so.

Also, Harris would've made sure there weren't gonna be cuts on weathering sciences & her administration would've sent out warnings hours (or even a day or longer) before this storm happened.

Spot on.
NOAA, which has the National Wether Service in it, falls under Commerce Department and How Weird Nut Lick.
He is keeping his head down.
Chicken sh*t
I have faith that we will be hearing from all the parents of drowned & missing children…Very soon!
Let’s see Christy Noem talk her way out of that! When she first made the announcement this morning there was NO CONDOLENCES! Yet she got right into the blame game & it’s not Trumps fault! I pray she goes down when he does!
Trump with Noem going down is NOT a good image. . .
If there was even a hint of the storm, I am certain parents would not have allowed their kids to go on a camping trip! Hopefully they can relocate that camp to another state property. That is if they can find one not being auctioned off by Trump administration!
Delorable!

Micelle Obama was not a politician.
I can't remember the name of The Dem woman who said "When they go low, we dog for oil"
Totally agree. If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.
Bwahahaha- actually, maga clearly is dazzled by bullshit! Brilliance goes right over their tiny heads!
I agree absolutely. They are too afraid to get rough. They should have made TV commercials juxtaposing film clips of Mussolini and Hitler with clips of Trump.

Irene, That is what Ron Fillipkowski says too.
Repetition is key over and over again because otherwise the majority will hit right before the election and they'll blame the Dems
Elections are not coming. Martial Law is.
The gop would love that, but I don't think they can make that happen. Yet. They are trying the next best thing, gerrymandering of districts and voter suppression. We read it daily through Marc Elias and Democracy Docket. And also their investigations into any dissent, like ActBlue for instance. Sick party.

You guys are making more news outlets grow a spine which is a good thing. Keep it up boys. 💙✊🏽🇺🇸
MTN real news in real time 👍100%

For too long the news media have been too chicken to name and shame Trump’s disgraceful behaviour. This has to end….. NOW!
Yes. "Misspoke" "Misleading" "In error" etc.etc.etc. Amazing how many synonyms there are for "LIES!"
And every day, some new chaotic event to forget a previous one. Remember how this all started with a birther lie! So are there any tariffs or not? Why do prices keep going up?
Stop moaning about the price of food going up - billionaires NEED these tax cuts so they can afford a few more diamonds in their teeth.
Have you no compassion?
Yes indeedy. I dropped Amazon 2 years ago and Bezos could only afford a three-story yacht. 😢
You are heartless. Heartless! That poor, poor man. . . must be the reason he could only afford a plastic wife. . .
ThAt is what made me mad the first time he was President, the press would never use the plain word LIE, He LIED about xyz.
My favorite lie is that his family came from a lovely town in Sweden. A compulsive liar and a bully and a megalomaniac and a very lucky SOB who was never forced to tell the Truth— his school grades, his taxes, his cheating on his wives— but someday the truth will be obvious even to his cult.
Far too many
Even though that same media are the ones that helped Trump get in office by sane-washing him too much and beating Biden over the head with BS
'The media', once they saw the ratings that coverage of Trump's rants were getting, accelerated Trump's exposure to the world!

It just frosts me.. that my tax dollars may be what picks me up and puts me into encampment
Peggy, Talk about a waste of our tax dollars.
His happy brithday parade that nobody went to, now how much is he spending to take the International Space Station Shuttle out of the Smithsonian to fly it to Texas. What a waste of my tax dollars. A complete waste of money.
Read Andy Borowitz who said that God called up Mike Johnson and told him we was going to Hell.
love Andy Borowitz ❤

That’s because all our media is now own by republican trump donors. Sad 😔
Corinna, let's go with "most" rather than "all". Surprisingly, Lee Enterprises has daily newspapers in Corvallis, Albany and nearby towns in the central Willamette Valley of Oregon that actually are willing to include critiques of all sides of the spectrum in their coverage of domestic and foreign events.
I was talking about big corporate news stations and newspapers like cbs nbc abc fox new york post … but you’re right it is the vast majority
Unless some influential Republican lawmakers and contributors stand up against this lying administration led by the biggest liar in history it’s going to be a very long,
Disastrous four years! Thank you for your continued coverage of real issues.
I know, you are right, and we have another 3 1/2 years of this.
Unless Melania does us all a favor.
What's the favor? Kill him for us? LOL

ICE is the new Praetorian Guard
Watch, they are NOT going to simply be nabbing immigrants, before this is all done and over they will be patrolling our streets.
Nothing surprises me!! Like I said. He is building a militia with our taxpayer dollars!!! He is doing whatever he wants!!!
Yup. Yup, yup.
No, They're the new Gestapo.
Precisely Sheila.
I bet the person you met doesn't need to hire manual laborers.
I wish there was an adult to stop him.
MTN is meeting the moment by leading the way! This is part of your assignment in transforming the country back to a place we can be somewhat ok with.
