They also won’t gaslight me to care about their trauma while they go to that shit show on bended knee.

Chris's avatar

Let this be a lesson about the real trauma little children and teens have gone through when a real active shooter enters their schools with an AK-15 and shoots up kids ripping their insides to shreds because those old grey head maga and republican men & women won’t vote for sensible gun laws that will protect children, teens and others from those AK-15 and other automatic guns that kills the innocent.

Not trying to be an a-hole, I want to let you know you are confusing two different rifles. There’s an AK-47 or a AR-15.

You are dead on though about school kids. MAGA can’t comprehend anything until it happens to them. They’re awful.

Sherylgi's avatar

The fear that their little formal tux wearing event has anything to do with 5 year old being ripped to shreds won’t even cross their minds. Hiding under tables and grabbing wine bottles. They’re obscene.

Chris's avatar

Thanks for the correction.

Leah Baum's avatar

Laura, you’re correct. When my brainwashed MAGA moron son was asked by his liberal daughter what he thought about Americans being slaughtered in our streets by ICE. His response was “ I don’t care if it doesn’t directly affect me”.

Well, they'll get nothing from D if they don't piss him off. If they piss him off, D will destroy them....It's his special talent he uses for his own good. :(

Wolf Blitzer on CNN looked like the fear of God hit him. I look for him to retire very soon.

pjpsm's avatar

…..& he specifically stated that he saw the whole attempted shooting & how close he (meaning Wolf) was to the shooter! That’s a lie. The shooter was nowhere near anyone at the dinner, taking place a floor away.

elliemae.padme66's avatar

Wolf Blitzer said he had gone to the restroom. Did he go two floors up???

Karen Echols's avatar

That had not yet crossed my mind, but you are so right. Children are innocent and should NEVER have to experience anything remotely similar. And these same politicians that were in horror of the guns used, and in disbelief that anyone would ever have that many guns, are the exact same people who say NOTHING can be done about school shootings because of their rights to have guns.

Thank you for pointing that out!

Bluefin's avatar

Amen brutha . . or sista.

Bluefin's avatar

Yes, these gun-toting a-holes are so afraid someone is going to take away their toys, aka guns. Like my nephew - I know that's a big reason he still supports trump. I'm not asking to take away their small hand guns, etc. for personal or home protection. Just get rid of these assault weapons!! No one needs to have these except the military. -- I know, we've heard that before, but I'm saying round them all up & put them in the ocean . . wait a minute, or uhh, bury them somewhere.

Geraldine L Sheremeta's avatar

They (corporate media) should be talking about what this war of choice is going to hurt or break the global economy. F his stupid ballroom and him and his moronic regime.

I think it’s now fair to say that what was formerly known as the WHCA - the White House correspondents association - is now the trump correspondents association. The organization has quickly acquiesced their status as the 4th estate, an essential, independent check on our political system and the protection of our 1st Amendment, constitutionally guaranteed, freedom of speech.

“The press safeguards its freedom by acting as a crucial, independent watchdog, holding government accountable through investigative reporting and informing the public. It maintains this liberty by adhering to ethical standards, protecting sources, defending against censorship, and operating as a "marketplace of ideas" that resists government control.”

Control of the media is a characteristic of fascism -

Sandy's avatar

Agree. Nothing will convince me that Trump is nothing more than a miserable excuse for a human being.

Suede67's avatar

He's a miserable excuse, alright. As for human being...

io bonini's avatar

lol,lol!!!

I want a DNA sample...I'd orange urinal cakes have DNA....

lol, orange urinal cakes? 👍😂🤣

Lois Julia Coleman's avatar

Have you seen photos of his parents?🧟🧟‍♀️

Cynthia Zeisloftik's avatar

For ME and millions of others...the antics last night cemented we have an EXTREMELY UNSTABLE ADMINISTRATION- Top down and it needs to be eradicated through our votes and our VOICES!

Paul Schwartz's avatar

When you have an asshole like Dan Scavino last night trying to start a "USA, USA" chant. Just incredible

Linda Heath's avatar

That was so disgusting! He sounded like a little boy trying so hard to get them to chant.

Arch75's avatar

Like some guy at a ball game desperately (and failingly) trying to start a wave.

Suel J's avatar

Ugh. Do you think he knew not to take this seriously??

Ella Vader's avatar

Yeah, I was like f*** you scav-enger!

Suel J's avatar

Cringe moment as only that group can do

Declan's avatar

I watched MSNOW & not once did THEY even mention Scavinos chant. I just read about it this morning...or saw it on Velshi.

MJ Delaney's avatar

Afreakingmen. They think they can manipulate Americans to their weird wicked MAGA will and false psycho reality. Let's get going to send these twisted sick manboys and their notions into the rear view mirror, America. No one is coming to save us but us. Time to expose their madness and get our country back.

RMW's avatar

Yup! Regime change; Begin at Home !

Will Wilson's avatar

I knew there was something fishy about this story the moment I heard it. That he and his propaganda machines have been unable to turn this into a martyrdom moment pleases me greatly. They can all go suck wind as far as I'm concerned. The sooner they're all gone the better off the entire world is going to be.

ramonaj's avatar

I am trying so hard not to give any oxygen to this . It's impossible. They are sick . The love of violence. War. Death. Greed. And the excitement over mayhem.

USA? He chants.

Not our USA. Eff off scabvino

Suel J's avatar

Yeah let's highlight the multiple inventive ways to a death penalty. Got to expedite after all. Unbelievable.

LHS's avatar

I haven't gone to a single major media outlet's website today. I don't even want to see the headlines and I surely do not want to read the spin on this story. I read Meidas, the Contrarian, Steve Schmidt and watched a short Jim Acosta video. That's it.

ramonaj's avatar

I only come here. Only have you tube premium on my TV. I choose what I want to watch. Usually MTN.

Pickleball's avatar

So, the Iran war to distract from THE TRUMP EPSTEIN FILES. When that didn’t work, they stage a fake assassination attempt to distract from the distraction. It won’t work…RELEASE THE TRUMP EPSTEIN FILES!

Bewickswren's avatar

And give the award for the coverage of the Epstein Files that was due to be handed out last night!

Alan Guy's avatar

A desperate act by a desperate man

io bonini's avatar

You know AG...I know his numbers are in the shitter...but I don't think he cares. So far he's (they) have gotten away with pretty much everything. A Judge says no, they say "What you gonna do about it?" and go ahead and do it anyway. They've got something up their sleeves for the midterms, and I bet Bari Weiss, Ellison...and the rest of the captured media knew about this ..."event" before hand...KKK Leave it even said on an interview before hand..

"There will be some shots fired tonight." But I certainly get your point.

Alan Guy's avatar

Its just has the vibes of someone whos on the back foot, distractions a plenty, is his Modus Operandi, the epstein files i rhink will define him, wether he's dead or alive, I wouldn't mind betting that Trump has made a deal for the release the files after his death.Wether thats a mitigating circumstance to these "assisnations" I just dont know..

io bonini's avatar

YES about the vibes...but maybe it's just the vibes of an old, demented, mean, nasty reprobate with dementia. Who's every rambling wish isn't granted fast enough for his limited attention span. Whatever it is...I'm still routing for the little blood clot family...to reach the end of their travels...LOL. Hang in there.

Alan Guy's avatar

We live in hope eh ?

io bonini's avatar

Gotta root for something..I don't do polymarket..so I'll take blood clots. LOL

Geri Cochran's avatar

It's not only the felon in these files...there are some very wealthy politically aware men (and of course a few women like Maxwell) who would not want their names associated with Epstein. Someone killed for the silence...and they are willing to kill again if need be, imo. I doubt the felon would be the one to sell it...but his sons might after the felon is dead.

Yvette Martinez's avatar

Just another staged event. All scripted and dramatically acted. Seemed quite fake. Yep, trying to gaslight

Patti Campbell's avatar

I wonder how much they pay these fake "would-be-assassin". Too bad they don't get sharp shooters who can actually hit something.

Karen Echols's avatar

I wanted so bad to say this, but wasn’t sure how! 🙃🙃. I started to say isn’t the “third time” supposed to be the charm??? 😂

Geri Cochran's avatar

I'd like to know who this person talked with the last couple of months before this weekend. I swear sometimes law enforcement people encourage the person to be violent, just so they can have an arrest on their record. Some of these people do not seem smart enough to follow through without a little outside help...But maybe I'm wrong. Still,,,I'd like to know the offender's list of names on his phone and social media.

Amber Moore's avatar

F Trump always. Zero sympathy. Sad that i can't even trust any of the attempts are real. Sad that I can't even believe this administration over Iran Lego videos. He and his administration sewed all the distrust and I will not feel bad for not believing them. I do not wish anything bad to happen to him other than impeachment and removal

Jamesina Hamilton's avatar

I’d like to see him locked away too so that he can’t do any other damage to our world!!!!!

Patti Campbell's avatar

He needs to be laced up tight in a straitjacket and put in a padded cell, with only one meal a day.....and, absolutely no visitors allowed

Paul Schwartz's avatar

Mainstream Media is an absolute embarrassment. I will NEVER succumb to watching it ever again. And any American that falls for this bullshit...................................

Ilene Bilenky's avatar

Real news isn't "watched!" I worked in ABC National News for the Hearing-Impaired a *long* time ago (at PBS) and even then, I could see how little information was watched! A ":good story" had visual, like a small plan e crash or a fire or a tornado. A "bad story" had nothing to show, like economics, or Watergate or or... I now support non-corporate news as I can online, like Meidas. Haven't had a TV most of my life. I used to edit from home web transcripts for FRONTLINE and still didn't have a TV.

Ilene Bilenky's avatar

You're too kind! But it warmed my heart to see your response.

Geri Cochran's avatar

Well, I really miss Walter Cronkite...and the way he reported the news.

Ilene Bilenky's avatar

I miss Peter Jennings, I used to watch TV back then for him.

REBECCA ORNELAS's avatar

I didn’t buy it from the start. And I will never, never, never believe this man or his puppets. another manufactured event where he can play the victim. It truly makes me wanna vomit.

Bewickswren's avatar

Everything out of his mouth is a lie. Why should this be any different?

Geri Cochran's avatar

His approval rating was getting so low, they had to do something. But, I think he's never read about crying wolf too often. :(

Mariana Gabel's avatar

Please keep calling it out. The world is watching. 🌹❤️🌹

Diane France's avatar

So well said Ben! You guys always put into words what I'm feeling but can't quite articulate.

Jean Conley's avatar

Yes to both of you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Angela w's avatar

Exactly at this point Americans don’t care

Debbie C's avatar

He didn't look surprised, but Melania did.

Bewickswren's avatar

That's what made me think it was staged.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

She looked shocked and scared. I don't think she got the memo.

Patti Campbell's avatar

It was another fake attempt intended to garner sympathy for the imbecile. I have absolutely no sympathy for him or anyone else connected to him.

Geri Cochran's avatar

Vance didn't know either, imo.

Jo Richards's avatar

I DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR THESE OPPOTUNIST, CORRUPT LIARS.

Dolores N's avatar

Have been listening to George Orwell’s 1984. Parallels are strong. The Project 2025 people must have memorized it. “Ministry of Truth” might’ve likened to ‘Truth Social’ and those influencers who blindly follow. Department of Fiction resembles FOX news and its spinners of propaganda. If all truth is erased and only fiction generated then truth dies. Thank you MTN for keeping the facts alive.

Jean Conley's avatar

Try "Brave New World." That's another good one......... It's actually not quite the same thing, but the parallels are there.

LHS's avatar

I recommend "It Can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis, too.

Old Uncle Dave's avatar

Another good one, which inspired Orwell's 1984, is WE by the Russian author Yevgeny Zamyatin. You can read it for free at Project Gutenberg:
