Thank you, Ben. It seems to me that Trump's threats are sufficient to warrant immediate removal from office. He's becoming more and more dangerous each day. He could do anything to anyone; he has his bunker ready.

Steven M.'s avatar

Well, he's demented. That's the risk Americans took when they elected a 79 year old fossil like him as President.

Teri's avatar

Bernie Sanders would have done much better! He shows no signs of dementia, and he's not evil.

Thank you so much, Ben. I'm glad we have your team to keep us sane.

Thank you Meidas. We see you all working hard everyday. Sometimes while I’m watching my thoughts drift to, Thank God theres people like you. I find myself thinking if they can keep fighting we can too. Together everyone. Truly thank you very much. Love you all

Well said, "together everyone". While it looks like maybe there really will be a blue wave (although we must not become complacent and believe any of the polls and we must work even harder now ) whether there is or is not a blue wave we have to remain together and support each other.

Yes Pat and continue fighting with our messages to them when our DEMS are in office!

Some brave reporter with access to trump, should ask him to name "America's enemies". I doubt his list is the same as what most Americans would say. It would be good for him to go on record with this list.

Robot Bender's avatar

I'd like some brave reporter to look him in the eye and ask "What the fuck is wrong with you?!"

Robin's avatar

And when dt tosses that reporter aside, for the next reporter to ask the exact same question, over & over again.

So saddened by the lack of solidarity of "journalists" in the past 2 years

James K's avatar

Access denied is questions not asked and voices not heard.

Pat Robinson's avatar

Maybe not with that particular question, but with other questions.

JoBo's avatar

Ha..ha...ha....I like your idea more than mine!

James K's avatar

His response: "What the fuck is wrong you, Piggy? Who do you work for? You're fake news. You're not supposed be here."

Loving your lists 😂

JoBo, the Countries he wouldn’t say are RUSSIA, CHINA, NORTH KOREA, which are the COMMUNIST countries that he supports. Russia and China are helping IRAN hit American troops so why isn’t GENERAL DAN CAINE not doing anything about EVIL T’s COMMUNIST approach to these Countries.

Will Wilson's avatar

After this past week I'm concerned with how far trumpf is going to push his agenda in this country. He's amassed a private army with ICE who have shown us they do not respect the law or the courts and they have no problem inflicting pain and death. I'm concerned that I'm going to wake up on November 3 to armed men on street corners in our major cities. I pray I'm wrong.

Linda's avatar

I have been thinking that for months. I don't know if people don't talk about it because it would scare people away from voting just the thought of that or if all of these independent journalists and historians feel as though if they say it out loud then it might give DJ T the idea which has to be the most idiotic sorry, things to think when as you pointed out he's got his own private Army and from my point of view but I do not know military law and how this would play out, but I figure he's got the entire military blackmailed. Illegal War following illegal orders and war crimes. He would resume deployed across the country and they refuse.. remember he threatened the six legislators who simply repeated the military oath that they did not have to follow illegal orders? And he threatened them with death by hanging for treason. But that wasn't any big deal then. Now he's fighting for his life like a caged rat. What will he do?I but they have an extensive list of options. Why isn't anybody talking about that possible reality? I like agree with you will Wilson

The US military Service Members are hostages. Their leadership was fired or hijacked by Hackseth and the orange ghoul. 911 Nov or game over.

Rebecca McRaven's avatar

I have been watching you on you tube since day 1. You have grown. I would like more attention paid to ICE and the detentions. Follow the money. People disappear, people are dying. It’s such a disgrace, upon many that test our true humanity. Keep up the good work, and thank you!

laura rolfness's avatar

Agree, I rely on ICE info from Rachel Maddow. and it’s alarming but hopeful too because communities are pushing back but international news should not detract from how utterly disgusting, unlawful and unAmerican ICE is!

laura rolfness's avatar

Ben, thank you for being such a dedicated and reliable source of “truthiness” to quote Stephen Colbert !

L B Rose's avatar

Appreciate all your reporting and bringing to light facts rather than rantings by a lunatic.

Steven M.'s avatar

Almost everything Trump says is a lie and intelligent people know it. He and all MAGAts are vile scum, parasites, leaches, and bloodsuckers. And I'm being quite mild when I run down Trump and hius syscophants.

Renee Goodman's avatar

Steven, not almost, EVERYTHING he says is a lie and has been his entire life!!!

Ann Lehman's avatar

I’m assuming Ds will win big in November but my concern is what will happen between Nov 3rd and Jan 2nd. I haven’t seen anything written about that?

AnneHG's avatar

Thank you, Ben and MTN team. Meidas+ is my main source of national news, and your hard work, courage and commitment is greatly appreciated!

Muriel Holland's avatar

Yes. It is not a matter of age it is a matter of mental illness. Or a severe personality disorder that would not respond to any medications or therapy.

Todd's avatar

We are now in the umpteenth week, and everything is going to plan.

The Project 2025 plan, that is.

What is the solution to this vexing problem?

November 3rd, get out and vote.

Because, this may be our last chance to restore democracy.

Robin's avatar

The vote has to be just the start. The midterms don't remove the Administration- who is daily emboldened by the lies, war crimes and personal enrichment.

Miles Judith's avatar

Firstly, thank you very much for the work you do! It’s like a cozy place to rest for a few minutes every day!

I’m wondering what ever became of the “Afrikaners”! Slide em in, cover them up!

I also wonder if there should be more transparency about the “data centers”.. I don’t think people, for the most part, realize the purpose of them!

Ellen McKenzie's avatar

Ben, thank you and your stellar cadre of investigative journalists that keep us informed every day. You are all amazing and appreciated! Take care. Be safe. Continue to grow!

I am very worried about Ukraine. The proof that we are aligned with Putin is our neglect and lack of attention to Ukraine. This is a disgrace.
