When Trump and Putin negotiate “peace” without Ukraine, it’s not diplomacy; it’s a shameless power grab disguised as a historic moment. Ukraine’s voice? Silenced and sidelined.
"The United States is not a party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). While the US participated in the negotiations that led to the ICC's creation, it ultimately voted against adopting the statute. This means the ICC has no jurisdiction over the US or its nationals." and there you have it.
Thank you, Irene. That’s my understanding also and can only wish that the United States government had more integrity and was congruent in their policies.
To protect the criminal sex-offending Republicans that hold office, and the other Republican criminals. When it comes to criminals the US wants, the US sure issues an international warrant for their arrest, even though the US does not belong to the ICC. Part of the double standard.
Except here......and who would grab him? One reason it may be happening in Alaska?
The Bering Strait and Islands, The Bering Strait separates mainland Russia and Alaska by approximately 55 miles. One small hitch, in the middle of this strait are the Diomede Islands: Big Diomede (Russia) and Little Diomede (United States). These islands are only about 2.5 miles apart at their closest point. So the two criminals don't have to worry about some nasty country, with a warrant interfering with their repugnant and highly suspicious rendezvous. Flashback - It comes awfully close to Chamberlain and Hitler having their cozy love fest in 1938 when they held negotiations regarding the Sudetenland, a region of Czechoslovakia. The end result allowed Germany to annex the Sudetenland which fed Hitler's appetite for devouring all of Europe and led to WWII. This seems to be what we are dealing with? In the cosplay, the adjudicated rapist plays the part of Chamberlain and the ordinary mass murderer of the Russian people plays the rôle of Hitler.
Times have changed, I hope, and this little melodrama will be as successful his many business adventures: steaks, booze, casinos, bibles, universities, marriages.....you get the picture - in other words a complete failure let it happen as only as quickly as possible.
Another reason Alaska? Low population, hard to protest.
A romantic rendezvous, complete with vodka, candles, and rose petals scattered across the room with a path to the "in bed with each other". Alone, secreted, behind closed doors, no one the wiser to their cozy chat and endearing duologue....quite the romance novel. "War Mongering by Proxy"
I can see it now, one so short he needs a mounting block to get into bed. The other so fat, he resembles a small mobile home. The perfect couple of mendacity and murder.
You betcha! Add Bibi and you have a trifecta. But we didn't sign the ICC agreement - guess we are in favor of outlaw and murderous leaders. Must have been figuring there would be a felon in our future.
Don't forget W's illegal war against Iraq, and the torture that was "debated" in the press, and the Iran Contra thing : drugs for money and all of that. The U.S. big money has been at this game for awhile. There are agreements that our "leaders" have avoided, for a reason. We could face consequences for bad behavior, too. Look at today's El Salvador and its "president"s inhumane jail system for dollars. That did not come from out of nowhere. Just because there were no felony charges or convictions does not mean there were no crimes. The slippery slope has gotten even more slippery. Why does our president have immunity from being investigated? Even before the latest Supreme Court capitulation to tRUMP with their decision of total immunity for him. We read in our newspapers the double think that " the president is not above the law", yet almost in the same breath they say " We cannot investigate a sitting president". Which is it? and where has it been written? Nonsense! Laurie Blair.
Yes, you're right. Why should they do anything if we aren't. But if I didn't have an Essential Tremor, I'd try to take him out myself. I'm old so it wouldn't be a problem for me to go to prison or get the death penalty. I'm so sick of him, it would be a pleasure.
They know better. We have caused them so many problems. they are willing to watch us suffer. Besides, with an alcoholic effing up the DoD, what do they have to worry about? As long as we are going through this hell, we are not bothering them.
About being "complicit" As far as the rest of the world is concerned, until we rectify this mess, he IS the United States.
Don't forget that the alcoholic is also a rapist and misogynist, like the "President", who currently fights against consequences for the raping of women and even girls, many of them, no doubt. His complicit Legal system finds ways to delay delay and do everything but support the rule of law, as he rewards a woman who was a partner in crime. He wants to make nice so she won't talk. I'm sure she does not want to end like Epstein. If that is what really happened. Is he really on an island somewhere with more victims? No way he was the suicidal type. Laurie Blair
You're correct but Trump owes Putin for his silence about what he may know about the relationship between Epstein and Trump. What Trump is doing is despicable in so many ways. The USA was one, if not the main signers of the accord (UN Charter) I think? It said that if Ukraine handed over all it's nuclear weapons then they would guarantee that they could not be attacked by Russia. In 2016 they were attacked and Trump did nothing. When trump got into power again he said he wasn't going to send Ukraine anymore weapons until the backlash made him TACO again. Now accepting a war criminal on US soil is tightening Putins hold on Trump. Could it be any clearer folks? Remember Alaska was once Russian territory! Putin put him in the presidency in 2016 in what trump told his KLAN was A Russia hoax. Anything trump says is a hoax means it true! The files that Tulsi Gabbard released proves this, I'm sure she got shit for that from trump but Putin wanted it known so there you go. Putin knows how to play this blackmail game, he's been doing it all his life. He's turning the screw on trump and trump is running scared and daren't disobey him. What a president you have.
Here’s an idea: Let’s see if we can stir up some good trouble by everyone one of us making comments over the next week about the need for a General Strike and see whether those who are hauling in the money from subscriptions will respond. The same goes for if/when you write to your representatives.
This recalls the decisions on women's health and abortions being done without a woman in the room. If women got together and decided all men should have *reversible* vasectomies until they are capable of supporting a child, it would NEVER become law.
I find it amazing that with 48 responses to the message I have received since yesterday, you are the first and only person that understands the importance of using a General Strike as an effective tool for countering this terrible situation. I hope that my call for action doesn’t get lost in the noise of social media.
David, I didn't respond as I'm uncertain as to what a general strike would entail... I'm a tad naive when it comes to political issues... but that hasn't stopped me from being vocal on Twitter!
I would also like to leave all of you with the Sunrise Movement’s webpage so that you can add your name to a youth group that needs our support, as they are now focusing on a General Strike that others have failed to act upon.
One more quick comment since you’re on Twitter. Europeans have used strikes as a way to influence government policies for decades. Most Americans haven’t the same level of awareness and for over the past 50 years have lost ground to a corrupt power base that has gained control of our political system and government, which is heavily influenced by the white Christian nationalist movement and private organizations like the Heritage Foundation and wealthy individuals who own many judges, lawyers, and politicians, as well as our financial institutions.
Claudia, sorry for the confusion but I thought I had sent my message to someone else.
As for learning about a general strike, the poster that I’m about to send lays it out perfectly, and is meant to impact consumerism to the point where Corporate America reverses its position in supporting the authoritarian regime.
Unfortunately, having hoped that whoever had set a date of August 9th, no one came forward to provide further details or organize the event. If this message gets passed around long enough, we can make a difference.
This picture should serve as a reminder of Trump's treason, which for me became obvious when Covid began and he sent testing supplies to Putin, telling us they were unavailable. It certainty does not inspire thoughts of the welfare of the United States and its citizens.
...and at one point just before the 2024 election there was a recorded phone call of Musk, Putin and Trump, with Putin reminding Trump of his debt to him for helping him to "win". I've been waiting to see why, and I guess this is it. Will he take over our country next? And Musk, of course, made his huge "campaign donation" (illegal for him as a government contractor), then I'm sure interfered with voting machines (especially in Pennsylvania) to ensure a return on his money.
There were people who talked about the suspicious election with no investigation. People like Democrat Congressman Dan Goldman who requested an investigation of the 2024 election, who were ignored or outvoted, by those who are unqualified to be in Congress or any other government position. Laurie Blair
Im Citizen ; Kamala conceded before the votes were all counted, it was probably obvious that she did not have the votes, because they were discarded, the election machinery hacked. Also there are rules in each state that limit investigations or recounts. Add to this the fact that tRUMP bragged about Musk's talent with the internet which gave him P.A. She could have challenged the 2034 election, but with what we know about threats of death or harm to loved ones, (and even murders), she did not want to go there. Who can blame her? Laurie Blair
tRUMP bragged about Musk's IT Talent that won him P.A. he just can't keep his mouth closed, because he knows the system is rigged in his favor with the courts. Laurie Blair
And the way trump was in the last few weeks. Dancing for 45 minutes. Walking off microphones. He knew it was set to go. Musk tge tool for the job until trump done with him.
Ludicrous. My heart bleeds for Ukraine and President Zelenskyy who is one of the bravest man I’ve ever known of during my lifetime. I pray. I weep. We have lost everything this country has ever stood for. My life will likely end under an autocratic totalitarian regime after having lived 76 years in a free and law-based society. It feels as though the earth has tilted on its axis.
I'm an octogenarian and I say - body and soul - NO! Not now, not ever!
All is NOT lost! Just listen to the voices here!
We are the elders who will not let this happen, by mentoring and sharing our wisdom with these amazing younger generations, who will inherit this country next and be responsible for it's future.
My first great grand daughter was born early this July. If she lives to 100, the year will be 2125. I'm not giving up, just as my great grandparents and hundreds of American ancestors before them - since our nation's early colonial days - did not.
You both have reason to feel that way. Just know, there are people who will hopefully not let this happen. Im so pissed that trumps America is terrifying our elders. Destroying all norms. There are no words for this .
Trump wants a Noble Peace prize and Putin knows this ,this is treason by Trump he will sell secrets or favors to Russia to stop anymore photos of Melania from being release plus dirt on his services to Epstein. Remember to keep in mind,Trump only makes deals because he stands for PERSONAL GAINS strictly for his own needs and not for any other reason. Trump will never do anything without a "quid pro quo" and a pat on his own back.
I doubt that he cares if Melania's naked pictures are posted. He probably thinks it's a feather in his cap that he has such a beautiful wife and thinks all the other men will be jealous.
Nothing is beautiful about her with all of her Plastic Surgery! Didn’t you see her disgusting photos with the Dumpster, Epstein & Maxwell? She is Mo different the the Dumpster, MONEY DRIVEN as the whole family!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I haven't heard any man say that she is ugly. She may be ugly on the inside; but who is paying attention to that. I have seen comments that all the women that he surrounds himself with either look like her or try to anyway. IMO she would have to be money driven to stay with trump.
Follow survivor interviews - they speak of grooming and training from early childhood, plus being drugged to eradicate memory or kept obedient via mind control techniques, either by influential parents within families in power globally and a part of Satanic cults for generations - or by having been sold into the network of sex traffickers by sick depraved parents. Now, think of the adult women associated with Epstein & Assoc.
They covered that base already - remember her ghost written "autobiography" in which she crowed about how proud she was of her "artistic" nude photos? I'm sure she was one of Epstein's little expensive Eastern European gifts who won the jackpot- a ring and a son. Honestly, I really don't care, do you?
When someone was covering her new book I think they said that she talks more about that issue. I haven't seen her say anything about the lesbian type nude pics that she and another model did.
Although the plastic-hair sellouts in corporate media want to keep reminding us that Joe Biden is old in a continuing effort to gaslight the American people, and don't want us to remember the crimes, there were a lot of empty "top secret" folders stolen by Trump found at Mar-a-Lago, and even the ones that were still there could have been copied and sold.
Between Trump's first and second terms and Putin's other poodle Tulsi Gabbard being Director of National Intelligence, Russia already has our secrets.
On the plus side, there's no way Trump ever gets a Nobel peace Prize in this universe.
Trump, your legacy is already locked up. Your name will live in infamy as the worst president in American history, one who was there only for himself and his grifting possibilities. You served the billionaires, and did your evil best to destroy everyone else. Instead of solving problems, you've spent your time selling cheap Chinese made gee-gaws to the unthinking masses. Your fake assassination attempt, and your years of documented pedophilia, clinch your legacy. You'll have a plaque in Hell.
Not surprisingly Bob Kiyosaki, an investment author and businessman, whose life mission has been to aid Americans to wade through the quagmire of investing is predicting another Great Depression History doesn’t repeat itself but it certainly rhymes
The indiscriminatory Smoot Hawley tariff act of 1930’s and the credit bubble(roaring 20’s) mirrors Cheeto’s reckless tariff policy which is creating unsettling uncertainty with American small businesses and currently we’re at the apex of a credit bubble This taken with the continuing decline in the purchasing power of the dollar along with an equity market that is being held up by big tech stocks is laying the ground for foreign investors in not supporting our debt by not buying our bonds The Fed will try to stop the bleeding by buying up assets but all that will do is increase inflation
If foreign investors stop buying our bonds, bond yields will have to rise making the debt interest insurmountable with a subsequent collapse of the dollar For this reason, it’s certainly prudent for those who want to protect what wealth they have by purchasing gold and silver bullion The above economic scenario will not occur soon but clearly will occur during Cheeto’s remaining tenure
A complete farce. You cannot have peace talks or a ceasefire, unless the countries involved are all at the table. Putin and trump discussing Ukraine and making plans for Ukraine, a sovereign nation, at the very least is ridiculous, and farcical at best.
When trump claims in front of the media next week that zelensky refuses a peace deal remember that zelensky was not even at the table, so what is he refusing if he wasn't even there.
Alaska; Putin —with Trump … why? Because “Grandpa in his bunker” would be deservedly clasped in irons anywhere else. Meantime, let’s not forget this is just the ongoing replay of 2016, all over again. Can we say together aloud, “kompromat”? (No doubt Puty’s got some rich Epstein chit on Trumpuppet …)
Will this be what it takes to have millions opposing the fascist takeover in the streets? Children in handcuffs....concentration camps has not been enough..........what will it for a massive walkout of every buisness??? The midterms may never arrive people.
Thank you for telling it the way it is. I’m still waiting for all the pundits on MeidasTouch to end the commentary and call for a General Strike. Apparently, they’re more concerned about raising money through subscriptions than being strategic in defending our country.
Some of this just sounds like trolling. Don't forget they are trying to survive in a medium dominated by billionaires and corporations. I don't know if it will work or not, but dissing them really isn't called for yet. There are very real considerations as to timing and strategy. Please leave the "I know it all"s to Trump & Co.
According to Google search, the top earning Substack newsletter and writer is Heather Cox Richardson, Letters from an American, with over 2.6 M free subscribers and over 10 K paid subscribers. Several Substack newsletters achieve high earnings through paid subscriptions. Some of the top earners include "Letters from an American" on Substack, which is estimated to earn $5 million annually
Second the praise for Sandra doing the gorund work. ."Letters from an American" teaches us repeatedly that history repeats itself........and with all these universities bendiing over for TacoTits.......required more than ever.
Also, with Substack making money.......they will, let us pray, not bend over for McAnkles and the Party of Pedophiles.
You are so correct. I have noticed the callout for subscriptions has moved from the bottom to the top of reports...........pushing Legal AF round the clock for subscriptions is becoming annoying........is the law firm going after Trump????? What is going on here......
They do good work........I do worry that MTN will leave behind their original commitment
If outlets like MeidasTouch and Aaron Parnas are really going to be effective, they have to expand their reach to get in the faces of maga cultists who would never voluntarily seek out facts, and that takes money, and lots of it.
You KNOW the federal government isn't going to help, having just defunded the CFPB (NPR, PBS). And Trump's corrupt FCC boss Brendan Carr will soon be ordered to somehow attack these newer outlets for telling the truth. That means they'll need lawyers, which means either more subscriptions or more ads.
Jennifer Welch-Angie"Pumps"Sullivan /IHIPNEWS need no influx of $$$$ to get attention.....they just hit the front page of Drudge........also now have over a million YOUTUBE subscribers.......these miracle women live in the Chistian Nationalist bottomfeeder racist state of Oklahoma!!! They kick Orange ass and the resistance needs more IHIP........the resistance in WW2 had ZERO investors....funding.......nothing!!!
Whatever this secret mob meeting was for we absolutely know it wasn't to tell Putin to do anything. It is IMO just another cover up of tRumps bc never in the history of the United States has a president ever done such sleezy cover ups that would have been grounds for impeachment. Russia is not an ally and doesn't want to be. I will never be okay with a communist Dictator being anything but a corrupt life sucking monster and Putin is the worst of them all. This all is unacceptable and another blow to the greatness of what was once a powerful and respectable United States of America. Now we not only look weak and pathetic we are actually weak and pathetic with a POS staining the presidency.
Fact check me please... but isn't there a warrant for putin's arrest for commiting war crimes? He won't take one step where he can be grabbed
"The United States is not a party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). While the US participated in the negotiations that led to the ICC's creation, it ultimately voted against adopting the statute. This means the ICC has no jurisdiction over the US or its nationals." and there you have it.
The same reason Netanyahu can visit the here, even though the ICC has a warrant out for him. It's embarrassing to be an American, honestly.
Thank you, Irene. That’s my understanding also and can only wish that the United States government had more integrity and was congruent in their policies.
Iran issued a warrant for trump; but, it's not enforceable.
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/iran-issues-arrest-warrant-for-trump-that-interpol-rejects
Iran had their chance to take him out when he was wandering around on the White House roof. 😊
Alas, I'm betting we'll need a Praetorian Guard to get rid of that slippery POS.
That's a shame. It seems he can't get arrested for his crimes in the USA either.
Ugh
HEINOUS TRUMP
Which puts the US in the same basket as India, China, Israel, Qatar, Iraq and Libya.
Nice company. . .
Ahhh...yes. Thus; Alaska, into which he can enter straight from Russia. But don't worry, Trump is going to expose the deep state. 🙄
What a big mistake that decision was. I wonder why the U.S. didn’t adopt the statute?
To protect the criminal sex-offending Republicans that hold office, and the other Republican criminals. When it comes to criminals the US wants, the US sure issues an international warrant for their arrest, even though the US does not belong to the ICC. Part of the double standard.
Ah, yes....hence Alaska, into which he can cross straight from Russia. Sad I didn't see that before; I had been wondering.
Except here......and who would grab him? One reason it may be happening in Alaska?

Yes Donald get some balls and arrest him? ha ha ha it should be that way but nope Donald is the true pussy!! my opinion
Except pussys are tough. Dicks and balls are not.
I would also like to leave all of you with the Sunrise Movement’s webpage so that you can add your name to a youth group that needs our support, as they are now focusing on a General Strike that others have failed to act upon.

America hadn’t signed on to be part of the international court. It’s despicable but sadly true.
Just like Epstein, leave out the victims
Oh, there are victims. We're the wons getting screwed this time.
Exactly. Trump and Putin are trafficking Ukraine like it's a teenaged girl at Mar-a-Lago.
EXACTLY
This picture should serve as a reminder of Trump's treason, which for me became obvious when Covid began and he sent testing supplies to Putin, telling us they were unavailable. It certainty does not inspire thoughts of the welfare of the United States and its citizens.
Putin has videotapes...
...and at one point just before the 2024 election there was a recorded phone call of Musk, Putin and Trump, with Putin reminding Trump of his debt to him for helping him to "win". I've been waiting to see why, and I guess this is it. Will he take over our country next? And Musk, of course, made his huge "campaign donation" (illegal for him as a government contractor), then I'm sure interfered with voting machines (especially in Pennsylvania) to ensure a return on his money.
Kamala won.Dems afraid to say so after slamming trump over his stolen election shite for years. He knew it would muzzle them.
There are some renewed investigation efforts and hopefully something good will come of them.
The CIA has the proof.
...and with a Trump-appointed director that doesn't help us.
Too bad it won't be revealed in my lifetime.
But who is running the CIA? and does the proof still exist? Laurie Blair
There were people who talked about the suspicious election with no investigation. People like Democrat Congressman Dan Goldman who requested an investigation of the 2024 election, who were ignored or outvoted, by those who are unqualified to be in Congress or any other government position. Laurie Blair
Not too late for an arm's length investigation.
Yes, but how does this explain America letting the Senate and Congress get away too?
Election fraud and coming up: Redistricting. Plus a Congress getting paid to do NOTHING but suck teeny weenie.
Im Citizen ; Kamala conceded before the votes were all counted, it was probably obvious that she did not have the votes, because they were discarded, the election machinery hacked. Also there are rules in each state that limit investigations or recounts. Add to this the fact that tRUMP bragged about Musk's talent with the internet which gave him P.A.

I share your suspicion. How could he not have the goods on Trump?
We already know he has vids of trump peeing on a sex trade worker, at the very least.
That, or he made sure trump was clear on the fact that he might someday tragically fall out of one of the upper windows of Trump tower.
Both.
It isn't only about the golden showers tape. He has an ungodly affinity for gold. It's no doubt really about the age of the girls.
Yes. That's why they call dems pedoes and election stealers. I know you are Repugs but what am I ?
It’s well known trumpf’s ties with Russia go back to when he was young.
Ludicrous. My heart bleeds for Ukraine and President Zelenskyy who is one of the bravest man I’ve ever known of during my lifetime. I pray. I weep. We have lost everything this country has ever stood for. My life will likely end under an autocratic totalitarian regime after having lived 76 years in a free and law-based society. It feels as though the earth has tilted on its axis.
I - also a septuagenarian - feel the same way .
I'm an octogenarian and I say - body and soul - NO! Not now, not ever!
All is NOT lost! Just listen to the voices here!

My first great grand daughter was born early this July. If she lives to 100, the year will be 2125. I'm not giving up, just as my great grandparents and hundreds of American ancestors before them - since our nation's early colonial days - did not.
Neither should any of you.
You both have reason to feel that way. Just know, there are people who will hopefully not let this happen. Im so pissed that trumps America is terrifying our elders. Destroying all norms. There are no words for this .
Horror Laurie Blair
I know exactly how you feel. Hard for me to belive that during some dark times I thought it couldn't get worse.
Same here
I trust Putin even less than I trust Donny. And Donny isn’t to be trusted EVER!
Putin is a war criminal. He has no business being on American soil. I protest.
Trump is always out of his lane....pure BS meeting with Putin. dismiss the whole event. Just another cheap event for a photo op
The Num-nuts Summit
Trump wants a Noble Peace prize and Putin knows this ,this is treason by Trump he will sell secrets or favors to Russia to stop anymore photos of Melania from being release plus dirt on his services to Epstein. Remember to keep in mind,Trump only makes deals because he stands for PERSONAL GAINS strictly for his own needs and not for any other reason. Trump will never do anything without a "quid pro quo" and a pat on his own back.
Exactly Brad And Putin will NOT follow thru on whatever he claims he will. And make fun of Trump, like he does now,and do what he wants.
Any negotiations where Ukraine isn't directly involved, is just old, old , propaganda Bs By old men refusing to grow up .
Not fooling anyone.
I doubt that he cares if Melania's naked pictures are posted. He probably thinks it's a feather in his cap that he has such a beautiful wife and thinks all the other men will be jealous.
Nothing is beautiful about her with all of her Plastic Surgery! Didn’t you see her disgusting photos with the Dumpster, Epstein & Maxwell? She is Mo different the the Dumpster, MONEY DRIVEN as the whole family!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I haven't heard any man say that she is ugly. She may be ugly on the inside; but who is paying attention to that. I have seen comments that all the women that he surrounds himself with either look like her or try to anyway. IMO she would have to be money driven to stay with trump.
If she attempted to leave him He could deport her to a gulag or worse. Also, she has a son that may be kept from her. Laurie Blair
Follow survivor interviews - they speak of grooming and training from early childhood, plus being drugged to eradicate memory or kept obedient via mind control techniques, either by influential parents within families in power globally and a part of Satanic cults for generations - or by having been sold into the network of sex traffickers by sick depraved parents. Now, think of the adult women associated with Epstein & Assoc.
good point
They covered that base already - remember her ghost written "autobiography" in which she crowed about how proud she was of her "artistic" nude photos? I'm sure she was one of Epstein's little expensive Eastern European gifts who won the jackpot- a ring and a son. Honestly, I really don't care, do you?
When someone was covering her new book I think they said that she talks more about that issue. I haven't seen her say anything about the lesbian type nude pics that she and another model did.
Although the plastic-hair sellouts in corporate media want to keep reminding us that Joe Biden is old in a continuing effort to gaslight the American people, and don't want us to remember the crimes, there were a lot of empty "top secret" folders stolen by Trump found at Mar-a-Lago, and even the ones that were still there could have been copied and sold.
Between Trump's first and second terms and Putin's other poodle Tulsi Gabbard being Director of National Intelligence, Russia already has our secrets.
On the plus side, there's no way Trump ever gets a Nobel peace Prize in this universe.
Trump, your legacy is already locked up. Your name will live in infamy as the worst president in American history, one who was there only for himself and his grifting possibilities. You served the billionaires, and did your evil best to destroy everyone else. Instead of solving problems, you've spent your time selling cheap Chinese made gee-gaws to the unthinking masses. Your fake assassination attempt, and your years of documented pedophilia, clinch your legacy. You'll have a plaque in Hell.
Kiyosaki Predicts Great Depression
Not surprisingly Bob Kiyosaki, an investment author and businessman, whose life mission has been to aid Americans to wade through the quagmire of investing is predicting another Great Depression History doesn’t repeat itself but it certainly rhymes
The indiscriminatory Smoot Hawley tariff act of 1930’s and the credit bubble(roaring 20’s) mirrors Cheeto’s reckless tariff policy which is creating unsettling uncertainty with American small businesses and currently we’re at the apex of a credit bubble This taken with the continuing decline in the purchasing power of the dollar along with an equity market that is being held up by big tech stocks is laying the ground for foreign investors in not supporting our debt by not buying our bonds The Fed will try to stop the bleeding by buying up assets but all that will do is increase inflation
If foreign investors stop buying our bonds, bond yields will have to rise making the debt interest insurmountable with a subsequent collapse of the dollar For this reason, it’s certainly prudent for those who want to protect what wealth they have by purchasing gold and silver bullion The above economic scenario will not occur soon but clearly will occur during Cheeto’s remaining tenure
Failing old dying men. We won’t break.
A complete farce. You cannot have peace talks or a ceasefire, unless the countries involved are all at the table. Putin and trump discussing Ukraine and making plans for Ukraine, a sovereign nation, at the very least is ridiculous, and farcical at best.
When trump claims in front of the media next week that zelensky refuses a peace deal remember that zelensky was not even at the table, so what is he refusing if he wasn't even there.
Alaska; Putin —with Trump … why? Because “Grandpa in his bunker” would be deservedly clasped in irons anywhere else. Meantime, let’s not forget this is just the ongoing replay of 2016, all over again. Can we say together aloud, “kompromat”? (No doubt Puty’s got some rich Epstein chit on Trumpuppet …)
Just like North Korea.
Will this be what it takes to have millions opposing the fascist takeover in the streets? Children in handcuffs....concentration camps has not been enough..........what will it for a massive walkout of every buisness??? The midterms may never arrive people.
Thank you for telling it the way it is. I’m still waiting for all the pundits on MeidasTouch to end the commentary and call for a General Strike. Apparently, they’re more concerned about raising money through subscriptions than being strategic in defending our country.
Some of this just sounds like trolling. Don't forget they are trying to survive in a medium dominated by billionaires and corporations. I don't know if it will work or not, but dissing them really isn't called for yet. There are very real considerations as to timing and strategy. Please leave the "I know it all"s to Trump & Co.
Thank you for saying that.
According to Google search, the top earning Substack newsletter and writer is Heather Cox Richardson, Letters from an American, with over 2.6 M free subscribers and over 10 K paid subscribers. Several Substack newsletters achieve high earnings through paid subscriptions. Some of the top earners include "Letters from an American" on Substack, which is estimated to earn $5 million annually
Second the praise for Sandra doing the gorund work. ."Letters from an American" teaches us repeatedly that history repeats itself........and with all these universities bendiing over for TacoTits.......required more than ever.
Also, with Substack making money.......they will, let us pray, not bend over for McAnkles and the Party of Pedophiles.
Great job with your research, Sandra! I’m sorry that I’m not in a position to give you a raise! 🥲
You are so correct. I have noticed the callout for subscriptions has moved from the bottom to the top of reports...........pushing Legal AF round the clock for subscriptions is becoming annoying........is the law firm going after Trump????? What is going on here......
They do good work........I do worry that MTN will leave behind their original commitment
If outlets like MeidasTouch and Aaron Parnas are really going to be effective, they have to expand their reach to get in the faces of maga cultists who would never voluntarily seek out facts, and that takes money, and lots of it.
You KNOW the federal government isn't going to help, having just defunded the CFPB (NPR, PBS). And Trump's corrupt FCC boss Brendan Carr will soon be ordered to somehow attack these newer outlets for telling the truth. That means they'll need lawyers, which means either more subscriptions or more ads.
Jennifer Welch-Angie"Pumps"Sullivan /IHIPNEWS need no influx of $$$$ to get attention.....they just hit the front page of Drudge........also now have over a million YOUTUBE subscribers.......these miracle women live in the Chistian Nationalist bottomfeeder racist state of Oklahoma!!! They kick Orange ass and the resistance needs more IHIP........the resistance in WW2 had ZERO investors....funding.......nothing!!!
Whatever this secret mob meeting was for we absolutely know it wasn't to tell Putin to do anything. It is IMO just another cover up of tRumps bc never in the history of the United States has a president ever done such sleezy cover ups that would have been grounds for impeachment. Russia is not an ally and doesn't want to be. I will never be okay with a communist Dictator being anything but a corrupt life sucking monster and Putin is the worst of them all. This all is unacceptable and another blow to the greatness of what was once a powerful and respectable United States of America. Now we not only look weak and pathetic we are actually weak and pathetic with a POS staining the presidency.
