Me too, but his supporters disgust me more.

Kathleen K. Reuther's avatar

Me too. Just glad Ukraine has support from other European countries.

Peter Tey's avatar

True, but Europeans are powerless compared to Putin and Rumpie

Mike Hammer's avatar

When Trump dies things will change.

Ellen Leach's avatar

When he dies, this nation will celebrate "bigly". And we will bury the MAGGA dumb-folks

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

It will be interesting to see how people respond to his death. A state funeral is typical for a president but this one could be ... contentious.

Ellen McKenzie's avatar

They both disgust me the same hugely amount.

Ellen Leach's avatar

They all disgust me. Trump is a Russian asset. My opinion is Trump, Putin, Kim Jon Un and China's Xi are all together in overtaking Europe Kiev, Greenland, Canada and many other countries.

🌟🇺🇸🇺🇦 “The Light That Outshone the Lies”

In a world full of shadows where tyrants still try,

Where bullies spread darkness and truth starts to cry,

A spark from the past flicked alive in the night—

It came from the families

who once chose to fight.

From the beaches of Europe to islands afar,

Came grandfathers brave like a blazing North Star.

They battled the fascists in World War Two,

Giving all that they had

so freedom stayed true.

Their courage now echoes in Ukraine today,

Where people stand tall in the very same way.

They push back the tyrant who barges and breaks,

Defending their future

no matter the stakes.

And here in America, truth needs us too—

For propaganda spreads fast like a virus will do.

FOX blares confusion, the right-wingers spin,

While people are struggling just trying to win:

To pay for their groceries, insurance, and heat,

With wages that buckle beneath corporate feet.

So the grandparents gathered with wisdom and grit,

“We know how to stand when the world throws a fit!”

They lifted their phones like their elders once fought,

But now with information—

the battlefield: thought.

They shared Indy media with clarity bright,

They commented boldly to spread the true light.

They reposted facts with the same steady flame

As the soldiers who fought

so the truth could remain.

They boosted the watchdogs, exposed every lie,

They challenged the fear that the spin doctors try.

From Meidas to scholars who check every claim,

They amplified truth

in democracy’s name.

And soon, like a beacon, their posts filled the feed,

A lantern of justice for all those in need.

They carried the legacy passed through the years—

A line of defenders

who conquer dark fears.

So honor these heroes of past and of now,

Who lift up the truth with a hand to the brow.

For democracy stands when the brave reunite—

From WW2 veterans

to grandfolks of light.

I think you can get a line to circle the planet with that comment 😀

FAUX news made him possible

Steve Lowen's avatar

….and, most others will: a Germ of Compassion, feeling for American Values, and, at least a modicum of Character.

Teresa Johansen's avatar

I am not surprised as Trump has been involved with Moscow for a long time I have a Newsweek Article that you need to see. I will furnish this

Jean Conley's avatar

I'd love to see it--and I'm sure all of us who support Meidas would also!

The words "copy, paste" automatically make me uninterested in what you have to say, especially if you spam a comments section with it.

Sandi Bohle's avatar

He's been involved with Russia for decades.

Nicole Koretsky's avatar

Those of us who are old enough to remember what he did in the 80s and 90s have been screaming about it for this entire decade. Please listen to us, everyone, when we actually LIVED it. I'm so frustrated and I don't mean to post this at you, Teresa; please share the article and to everyone who is just now believing us, please listen next time, and for God's sake, vote.

R. MORRIS's avatar

I remember Romney declaring Russia to be our biggest foe during his presidential campaign. Our corporate media lampooned him for it.

Nicole Koretsky's avatar

I remember that well, too. Deep, deep sighs. 😔

Most disgraceful person to darken the WH is DT⁉️🤢🤬

There was a bunch of protesters with Pro Ukraine flags and signs close to Mar a Lago❣️🕊️🇺🇦🕊️🇺🇦🕊️🇺🇦

No matter what he does he brings disgusting disgraceful dirty horrors upon our reputation as a country ⁉️

Heroes of the 21st century, betrayed by Trump's USA.

A Pat's avatar

Z needs to write off Trump. Find another way, whatever way may be that doesn’t include Trump. He will never give the respect Z and the Ukrainian people deserve.

Stephanie's avatar

Exactly right! It’s a complete waste of his time. And pointless to talk about any ‘peace’ agreement where the US and Putin are the guarantors of the peace…. Putin started the damned war and Trump works for Putin… these are the same 2 countries that guaranteed Ukraine sovereignty in the 90’s when they gave up their nukes.

Zelensky would do better to ignore Trump and work with Canada, Uk, France and EU to ensure a just end to this Russian aggression.

R. MORRIS's avatar

My dream is for Zelenski to tell Trump to go fu*k himself, step before the news microphones and cameras to thank the US for its past assistance, then announce his intention to continue the war until Russia bleeds to death thanks to his military's intelligence and tactical superiority.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

He has his citizens to think about.

Rob Jonas's avatar

The countries of Europe had better step up now. If the Ukraine is forfeited to Putin, this will encourage him to engage in further aggression. The European countries rolled over for Hitler, until he grew too aggressive. Will they roll over for Putin? I might also mention that appeasing Hitler actually led to WW2. The Orange menace and the clueless MAGA sycophants forget that the United Stares was eventually forced into WW2. Of course if things get really bad in Europe, you can plan t/rump rolling over for Putin to the point he will likely give up American territory to appease him.

R. MORRIS's avatar

Alaska looks like it might be doomed.

Lily's avatar

I think since there is no one to take up for Alaskans - I am talking to you Murkowski - Burger is "selling" Alaska to corporations! I agree Alaska is doomed! What about the polar bears you greedy politicians? Follow the Money!

Peter Tey's avatar

Unfortunately I am skeptical about Europe

To begin with they don't have the power in weapons

Second, in a way they are bound by NATO

Three, they will never send there own troops, it is a SELF PRESERVATION.

Ukraine is running out of fighters/soldiers,

But Putin will not stop

The Baltic states will be next, they are already very anxious, even though they are members of the NATO

R. MORRIS's avatar

Russia is also running out of bodies. It's facing a demographic disaster.

nacreplus2's avatar

They are buying North Koreans now.

Peter Tey's avatar

Yes, but compared to Ukraine it still has a larger base population

Russia’s population is 144 million, Ukraine about 35 million

R. MORRIS's avatar

The portion eligible for military service is shrinking by the day. Their best and brightest have already left, likely never to return. Those remaining would be unwilling conscripts knowing they're doomed.

Robin's avatar

as long as Russia has money, they can buy young angry male mercenaries.

Andrew Waters's avatar

Therein Russia has a major problem.

Barb O's avatar

Given the financial support from the EU and now Canada (which I have longed for for some months) has happened. Z wants to get under any shadow of influence of felonhead. That way, he won't be constrained by attacking only select targets in Russia. Soon.

nacreplus2's avatar

I'm sure he would love to, but it isn't possible. The U.S. military resources are huge. Ukraine can't just walk away. If he did, they'd go to Russia and Ukraine could not survive. These military resources are critical to NATO and our other allies (or at least what we consider our allies regardless of what Trump and Co. are doing).

A Pat's avatar

Exactly, and I see the catch 22 in Z every time he has to interact with T. T and co. are sick f$cks.

Cathy's avatar

Putin. Fuck that guy.

Jedi Senshi's avatar

The 🍊💩 probably already has.

Erran Andrews's avatar

This crazy ass has no respect for anyone. He’s representing us at the freaking mar a lago brothel? How disgusting. You know there were young girls there and him and Epstein most likely were trading girls back and forth.

Deb9227's avatar

DT is an embarrassment to the USA and the perfect example of the worst in human behavior. His lies continue in mass social media which continues to divide this messed up country. When will the madness stop ! Where are the laws to protect the innocent civilians of the USA. And then there is the Epstein situation a coverup of disgusting proportions. Let's air the Jack Smith conversation and bring this SOB and all his enablers down, hard and fast!

Nancy Richardson's avatar

It’s time for impeachment. This entire regime needs to be prosecuted and imprisoned.

Great job. Thanks Ben.

R. MORRIS's avatar

Again, impeachment without conviction for the crimes committed would be a meaningless waste of time and $. The gutless Republicans won't do it despite the corporate media beginning to suggest they're starting to separate themselves from Trump.

Andrew Waters's avatar

Impeachment after the midterms, so long as Democrats take both houses. So everyone who wants an end to this debacle better get out and vote this year.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Ok, so how do you persuade little Mikey Johnson, who is the sole decider of this, to do it?

Nancy Richardson's avatar

I wish I knew. Hoping some of the GOP have had enough and start working with the DEMS.

Kathleen Davidson's avatar

Ron Filipkowski's year end lists and his daily news updates are priceless. Thank you, Meidas, best all round news subscription ever. 🙌

BF's avatar

Hey Ben, if you know any of those "journalists" in the Trump (aka Putin), Zelenskyy meeting, tell them to ask Trump if he knows who EXECUTED Yuri Sadovenko https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmU7OPIv4J4

Suede67's avatar

No surprise wrinkle-dick spoke to Putin first, being they are best buds and all. Sick!

VickyG's avatar

Please note: Prior to Zelensky’s arrival to the US he met with our Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney who pledged a further 2.5 B dollars of economic aid to the Ukraine…

GingerLee's avatar

I want to know who is really writing this crap... we all know he can't spell nor even use words with more than two syllable .. my concern is he's going to blame the writer

Camille Kelly's avatar

Steven Cheung, White House Communications director.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I often wondered the same thing. Might be Stephen Miller or the N.Korean Pink Lady (Karoline Leavitt)? Definitely not the "orange one" he has a limited vocabulary.

Lily's avatar
Dec 29Edited

I don't think this demented conman knows what is going on and miller, leavitt, Chung, Vought are writing them. Then someone spins one thing to the conman and he rants. Did you hear this idiot rant about killing people in the venzuellean facility hedgehog just bombed? No one could make this shit up! He is doing all this for oil and money and he is still lying about drugs!

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I agree. He's not smart enough or capable of running anything (including his failed businesses) He's a fucking moron! No, I didn't watch it yet. I did see a notification from Aaron Parnas on Youtube about the bombing this morning. I really don't want to hear or read anything that comes out of Trump's filthy and vile mouth. I will look into it now, knowing it will piss me off and cause depression. You're right, it doesn't have anything to do with drugs and it's all about oil! Funny how he lowered the tariffs on fentanyl coming from China. He doesn't give a rats ass about drugs coming into this country! It's all BULLSHIT to justify this illegal bombing.

Dogo Mom's avatar

How many times is Trump and his people disrespecting Zelinskyy is it going to take before he finally wises up and stops trusting this man to do anything that he promises or anything and Ukraine's best interest? I understand he's desperate but this man is just playing with him 😤 it's all a game to Trump and his people 🤬

Camille Kelly's avatar

I think he knows exactly what Trump is doing but for the sake of diplomacy, he plays along so as careful not to alienate any sympathetic Americans or favors for his country. This is a very intelligent man, who has the dignity and composure to play whatever game is necessary to save Ukraine. He is no one's fool.

Robin's avatar

Exactly... the purse strings (no matter how thin now), is still technically attached to Congress. And 1 bad ruling by the unSupreme Court could shift laws so that DT could declare global war all on his own.

Lily's avatar
Dec 29Edited

Can anyone imagine what the conman would do if no one greeted him when he landed in a foreign country as he did to Zelensky? LET'S TRY! Can you see the humiliation and embarrassment? LET'S TRY! Almost as good as seeing his face when no one came to his parade he threw himself in July! LET'S TRY!

Camille Kelly's avatar

Yes! He has emotional immaturity to let it affect him adversely.

Zelenskyy, I am sure, knows exactly what Trump is trying to achieve with his dismissal of his importance, but let's make it loud and clear, that we all know its because he owes something to Putin and Putin has him in his pocket and trump is selling out America for some Russian debt. He fools NONE OF US.
