After watching what tRump did to Scotland in several documentaries years ago, I can only imagine how you must feel about his reelection. Thank you for supporting this fabulous network in our fight❣️.

He just doesn’t fit with our psyche at all, plus we tend to be more left wing. And sweary

Compelled to apologize that the lowest denominator our nation has to offer has overtaken us and the world. This is not a representative of how much individual Americans respect, love and support our allies. We share so much history including blood. My great grandfather came to NYC from Scotland. Forgive us.

Hey, we gave you his mother. We have nothing to be proud about in this regard!

RAISSA's avatar

I was not aware of his mother's lineage and that connection to Scotland. I read his mother returned often and spoke Gaelic. Looks as though she married below her station to someone, we now know was a monster. My aunt came to America from Finland but not to escape poverty. She was adventurous and her sister followed. She worked for the wealthiest family in NYC at the time from age 16 thru to her 80's more family (but knew her place and was very discreet) than servant. I remember she would always tell me that "the best class is the middle class" in America. She witnessed enough to speak on some authority. Today, we have lost the middle class. It is gone and we are not going back.

As trumps base that got him elected continue to become disaffected with broken promises the domestic landscape will change and hopefully the economic depression he promised will finish him. People will have to decide on the future by becoming educated on the political issues, not indoctrinated.

Same here. MEIDAS TOUCH has gotten me out of fearful moments and feelings of hopelessness. This truly is the best channel for disseminating information not just for America but other countries as well. All Americans should know about the political scene here. Starting with Trump & clowns he put into administrative roles. Ben, I am happy that you and your family did not lose your home & that you are all OK.

I think we need more discussion of what we are fighting for. A roadmap for moving forward. Yes, we need to fight Trumps bad ideas. But then what. Yapping about Greenland to insult Danish leaders is a distraction for stupider things Trump is doing. Building a better trade-relation with Greenland may not be. Yapping about Newsome’s position on protecting a declining species of fish while LA burns is stupid. Figuring out how building standards and risk management policies need to change given the risks created by global warming is something that has to happen. Shouting ‘drill baby drill’ as a response to all problems is stupid. Developing a coherent plan for developing and transitioning to alternative sources is not. Complaining about the federal deficit while planning to add to it is stupid. Cutting low value and outdared federal programs is not.

We talk constantly about the stupid things. Changes are needed. Let’s talk about that too.

Agree and blaming immigrants for everything is extremely STUPID!

Tom Leitko's avatar

More than that. Immigrants are an important part of our labor force. Trumpists rail on them to get votes, but won’t support a law to make businesses check for work permits.

It’s the divide and conquer strategy: give the simpletons a group to hate & blame, while Trump and his band of oligarchs and sycophants in congress continue to loot our Republic!

All that talk about annexing Greenland, Panama, and Canada is just another version of grabbing them by the pu**y. He believes that when you're president, they let you get away with it. Joe Biden has shown us that problems can be solved.

In reading over my post, I realized I said Trump was ‘yapping.’ That’s an old school word, so let me explain it. Yapping is incessantly talking in a way that irritates people. My dog yaps in two situations… he wants attention or he is scared.

Same for Trump. He is a malicious narcissist. Much of his yapping is to get attention. He yaps about the fire, not because he cares, but because it is getting a lot of attention and he wants to get in on it. He yaps about January 6 because he is afraid he will be caught for his crimes.

Most of what he says is yapping. His staff adapts by letting him yap (let Trump be Trump) then sane washing pieces to make it sound coherent.

We don’t want to just yap back.

There is a development in Florida that was specifically designed to survive hurricanes. It works. The challenge is that decades of construction in Florida does not meet these standards. Perhaps this can be figured out too. My thought is… when you buy a house, think these risks through. When it burns, blows down, floods or slides down a hill, you are likely on your own.

Sadly, the best thing that can happen re: proving what a liar trump is, is for the economy to falter and for jobs to be lost. Most of the lost jobs will be in Maga territory as they are more dependent on manufacturing than, say NY. Maybe that would be a wakeup call.

I know what their play will be: blame the Dems and the Biden administration for something they didn't even do, a non-existent bill they didn't sign, (ref. the "Water Restoration Declaration") or some other lie.

The MAGAts are so poorly informed and thoroughly duped that they'll believe a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g.

There is no wakeup call for them other than the collapse of the oligarchy including Dumpty's mortal demise.

they're so dumb they don't even have the intelligence to realize how dumb they are. I'm hoping when the Dumpster dies, they'll crawl back into their holes and go back to being closet bigots.

A good start!

Dismantling Citizens United, evicting the billionaires from the white house, Extreme Court term limits, revising the tax code so the rich pay their fair share, routing that money into revitalizing public education, and restoring a mental hospital system to treat the homeless who need it- these would also be on my to-do list.

Expand full comment
Candace Lucas's avatar

totally agree. double that on providing mental hospital for the homeless who need it. A lot of the crime in NYC takes place in the subways and it's almost 100% homeless people who should be institutionalized but legally we're not allowed to do that.

Everyday I look forward to everything Meidas! A couple of days ago I gifted a subscription to my daughter in honor of the fires, who last April lost her Victorian home to a fire, just one home, so the devastation is massive doesn’t compare. But she understands, and soon she starts the rebuilding and it is has been a long process.

MAGA is filled with haters and evil truth deniers. I do worry about her rebuilding the town is mostly MAGA, and she and her family are not.
