… Ukraine executed a brilliant attack inside Russia that was over a year in the planning, destroying a big chunk of the bombers used to launch cruise missiles at civilian population centers in Ukraine.
Loved the story about Ukraine. Bet that was a gut punch to Putin.
Of COURSE Ukraine should not have given US the heads up. This is a war!
There was no reason to let the US know. They did not use US tools or munitions. US forces are obviously not involved. Trump, if he had been told would have, in a panic called Putin to beg him please to not launch WW3. Or at least that would have been his excuse.
“…But minutes later, Musk lurched into talking about politics unprompted: "But my frank opinion of the govt is that, like, the govt is just, like, the DMV that got big, okay? So, when you say it like, 'Let's have the government do something,' you should think, 'Do you want the DMV to do it?'"
My fantasy, and it’s strictly a fantasy because so few MSM reporters have any guts to do it, is that when he or TACO say something like this, the reporter fires back with “Excuse me, but do you have even half a clue as to how fucking stupid you sound just now saying that?”
You have to assume that after signalgate and Susie Wiles phone hack that not just Russia is listening to every single communication that passes through the Whitehouse switchboard and definitely over Hegseths phone.
Over Hegseth's phone and his dirty computer in his office. That is what he had installed a computer that does not go through the security IT network of the Defense Department. All so that he did not have to learn any new software and could continue using Signal.
I am lost for words. Slava Ukrainii! As for the rest of the insanity, I thank Ron for his faithful reporting of the most depressing deplorable insane … just WTF? I don’t recognize my country anymore. I have never been so disgusted and depressed in my life, and that’s a fucking mouthful.
I often wonder how painful it must be for Ron to sift, sort, organize, and produce all this for our edification so many days weekly. How does he find the stamina and strength?
I think he has a happy, loving family. He gets away to decompress. He has faith, and he knows what he is doing is vital and important work exposing these grifters and lowlives for most of us who couldn't stomach having to watch this all day ourselves. I'm not being facetious or flippant. It's how I imagine doctors of oncology deal with their sick patients who are suffering. They have to compartmentalize.
I truly appreciate your most thoughtful empathetic perspective regarding this wonderful journalist's commitment, dedication, and skills. Your words are so insightful as well as comforting, most certainly for Ron. Thank you very much for sharing perceptive meaningful observations. You are a kind lovely person.
As are you SFGal. I always enjoy our conversations and interactions.Thank you for your lovely comment.
I mean it about Ron. I have such mad respect for him. I think he's an incredible person and we are so lucky to have him. Even during these terrible times, somehow I feel safer knowing he's here for us. 🙏
I’ve been calling n posting this number that will reach any member of congress. Give a name.
202 225 3121! I start with rethuglikkkrussian senators now! They need to seriously overhaul that big bad bill! Especially, the maga ass kissers. Mikey Johnson needs to be reamed out. If he can pull his head out of trumps🍊💩ass!
I don't care who gave Musk his black eye; extremely gratifying to see even a smidge of accountability for a murderer and Nazi. Well deserved and I can think of multiple enraged suspects.
Ron, thanks for the pic of the rainbow cyber truck in the Pride parade. Best use of that piece of junk I've seen to date.
I'm old too but this disaster of a 21st century is 25 years old. You are forgiven. I wouldn't know when it came out either. I'm not classy enough to use fugly. I call it what it is. Fucking ugly ( excuse me Oaktown). 🤗
I first came across “fugly” a couple decades ago because someone had a Fugly Horse blog posting the Fugly Horse of the day, making the point that there are some Fugly horses that should never be bred, and there are way too many useless and unwanted horses in the world that end up either needing rescuing or on the meat wagon. https://mytevisjourney.blogspot.com/2013/06/fuglyblog-eulogy-legacy-message-to-all.html?m=1
Andy Borowitz who I adore has a board that is political satire (and he just did an interview with Ben a month or so ago that was great) . He is so freaking brilliant and funny. You have to pay to read the comments or post, but he writes short, funny posts usually early in the morning and if I read it at 7 am it's already gotten so many replies. . IHe wrote one on the Cybertruck a couple of months ago and it got over 1000 comments. The posters are comedy gold. I had to put a pillow over my mouth I was laughing so hysterically I didn't want to wake my neighbor. ELON WILL NEVER LIVE THAT MONSTROSITY DOWN.
Love Borowitz and the many comedians and wits he attracts in the comments! The cybertruck comments were especially hilarious. See below for Andy's report and my favorite comment:
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Disaster struck the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on Monday after Elon Musk and his team of teenage aides became trapped inside a self-locking Cybertruck.
The DOGE crew found themselves imprisoned in the vehicle after pulling into the parking lot of the Education Department, which they had come to dismantle.
A frantically screaming Musk received no help from passing Ed. Dept. employees, who said they had just been terminated and were no longer available.
Witnesses said that Musk’s desperate pounding on the interior of the Cybertruck failed to free him but did send several pieces of metal trim flying off its exterior.
Davis Logsdon, a constitutional scholar at the University of Minnesota, called Musk’s imprisonment inside the vehicle a “positive development for American democracy,” adding, “The Cybertruck is our guardrail.”
TBR Question of the Day: If you saw Elon Musk trapped inside a Cybertruck, what would you do?
Here's my favorite submitted comment, posted by John Hoffman:
"Post Sign 'This vehicle and contents terminated as part of government efficiency Program. Do not Disturb' "
Without a doubt, the Cybertruck post was one of the best ever. Classic Andy.
"Musk’s imprisonment inside the vehicle a “positive development for American democracy,” adding, “The Cybertruck is our guardrail.” Lol.
That was one I read really early in the morning and had to stuff a pillow in my mouth I was laughing so loud I was afraid to wake my neighbor. I'm pretty sure that one got 1000 comments. I think I was there for hours that day 😂 I'm hysterical again.
And this line too: "A frantically screaming Musk received no help from passing Ed. Dept. employees, who said they had just been terminated and were no longer available."
What is truly sad is that when we care about someone, the majority of us will try and reason with the person. I want to know why Elon's Mother, Brother and Sisters haven't sat him down to explain he was/is being used.
He has lost very much in the way of money (probably doesn't care) but he wanted to have the recognition for his efforts in society. He needs approval.
Elon's goal is to get to Mars as we won't (he claims be able to live on Earth)
Why then with a man that has so much potential and money, could look at helping our planet now with all of the pollution and everything we have in our air and water. His DOGE group has now cut 12 billion dollars from our protecting the planet.
He should consider bringing back the protections for all and starting a foundation to help the causes that other Billionaires are doing.
What's so positive and inspirational about this mission is that the destruction of these bombers makes THE WEST safer too!! These bombers can't be fixed or replaced as Russia doesn't have capability. So there must be about a hundred left if 36% were desfroyed.
If the maga congress approves the big bad bill with the tax cuts n all the take aways from we the people that support them, I think it will be a 🟦🟦👍👍wave! We have to defeat, defend our country, against the maga rethuglikkkrussias in congress! And the treasonous cabinet, administration n advisors!
202 225 3121, call a member of congress n give them an earful!
Well done, Ukraine!!! We all need to pressure this putin-loving freak and his minions in the regime to continue aid to Ukraine!!! Keep calling your Senators folks. Pressure will work eventually if enough is consistently applied.
202 225 3121 will reach any member of congress, house or senate! Give a name! I start now with the senate. They need to seriously overhaul the big bad bill! Who will fold first? Johnson or Paul? Call daily n share with friends!
That will never happen as long as trump is in office. They know it. Played out brilliantly 👏 America has lost it's standing in the world. No one needs the headaches.
Ron, you are like the Rona Barrett of politics! Between your weekly podcast with Anthony Davis and your daily bulletin, I know everything I need to know. I subscribe to Meidas just for your write ups. Thank you for your service!
Ron, now I know why the Meidas Touch Network mentions you all of the time. Your awesome and thanks with the news about Ukraine
Loved the story about Ukraine. Bet that was a gut punch to Putin.

There was no reason to let the US know. They did not use US tools or munitions. US forces are obviously not involved. Trump, if he had been told would have, in a panic called Putin to beg him please to not launch WW3. Or at least that would have been his excuse.
And then told Zellensky that Putin already knew about the attack and would have been waiting, but I saved y'all.
Twumpie got weft out... :(
I subscribe with The Meidas Touch Network and they always mention you
Correct, they do, and for good reason!!
Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
🇺🇦. 💪. 🇺🇦. 💪. 🇺🇦. 💪
Agree

If only one would say that to both when it happens!!
Awesome. I think it's time I email all the mainstream media again and let them know how ridiculous they look.
👍💯
Best comment!! Made me laugh which is pretty damn hard to do these days!
Pathetic how quickly we’ve become a country that (understandably) can’t be trusted with information as important as this Ukrainian attack.
yes its very sad, but glad they are not keeping us in the loop this Government/Regime can not be trusted they are putins asset
You have to assume that after signalgate and Susie Wiles phone hack that not just Russia is listening to every single communication that passes through the Whitehouse switchboard and definitely over Hegseths phone.
Over Hegseth's phone and his dirty computer in his office. That is what he had installed a computer that does not go through the security IT network of the Defense Department. All so that he did not have to learn any new software and could continue using Signal.
We can not be trusted with TACO and fellow criminals in charge
Go Ukraine! Don’t tell trump anything! He is a mentally unstable, narcissistic, grifting, greedy, corrupt person! He ain’t no man!
I am lost for words. Slava Ukrainii! As for the rest of the insanity, I thank Ron for his faithful reporting of the most depressing deplorable insane … just WTF? I don’t recognize my country anymore. I have never been so disgusted and depressed in my life, and that’s a fucking mouthful.

Guys!!!!! You're making me cry... and I agree 100%.
If Ron ever wondered if he had a fan club...here we are. 💕
Yes, he's our buffer shielding against the worst of reality in his way.
I understand your feelings.

Ron, thanks for the pic of the rainbow cyber truck in the Pride parade. Best use of that piece of junk I've seen to date.
The paint job actually improved the look considering how fugly those cyber trucks actually are. 🤔
Agreed! And I like the word "fugly," typo or not; sounds like an abbreviation for "f**king ugly."
Not a typo. It's a word. 21st century slang. Slang for fucking ugly. 😆
Thanks for the education. Great word!
Looked it up and found this:
"Fewer than 0.01 occurrences per million words in modern written English,"
... plus "fugly is formed within English, by blending. Etymons: fucking adj., ugly adj."
... and "The earliest known use of the word fugly is in the 1960s ... OED's earliest evidence for fugly is from before 1970."
Interesting. So 20th century I didn't know that and I'm old.
I'm old too but this disaster of a 21st century is 25 years old. You are forgiven. I wouldn't know when it came out either. I'm not classy enough to use fugly. I call it what it is. Fucking ugly ( excuse me Oaktown). 🤗

Here's another good one...

I physically saw one like that. Also bumper stickers saying I bought this when Musk was sane. Even though we now know he has never been. Sane.

Andy just wrote a post how Mexico is renaming the Liberty Bell,.THE TACO BELL 😂😂😂😂😂🌮
I'm following Jeff now. He's funny (and curses) so he's my kinda guy lol
Mel does TV looking news flashes. Hilarious. So real, i fall for them sometimes.
Cracks me up,everyday.

Love it!
That was really great!!
Sad state of affairs when the US can't be trusted for fear of leaking to Russia. Sad sad state of affairs. Slava Ukrain!
Good for Ukraine not trusting the Taco.
This administration is a sieve.
Definitely %!
Bravo Ukraine. Ukraine has Zelensky. We have some lowlife oracle named Catturd.
When you choose Catturd as your screen name....
You're probably cat shit.
😂 Rita. "Lowlife oracle" 😂
🍊💩👎
But, MAGAs worship of the Tate brothers is okay?? And Trump being an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon??
What's so positive and inspirational about this mission is that the destruction of these bombers makes THE WEST safer too!! These bombers can't be fixed or replaced as Russia doesn't have capability. So there must be about a hundred left if 36% were desfroyed.
Tell that to Numbnuts and the MAGA Congress.
If the maga congress approves the big bad bill with the tax cuts n all the take aways from we the people that support them, I think it will be a 🟦🟦👍👍wave! We have to defeat, defend our country, against the maga rethuglikkkrussias in congress! And the treasonous cabinet, administration n advisors!
202 225 3121, call a member of congress n give them an earful!
I do it all the time.
They will get them next time.

Great reporting Ron. Imagine what Ukraine could do with help from the Americans...Putin could be taking a bullet in the Bunker. Great job Ukraine...
That will never happen as long as trump is in office. They know it. Played out brilliantly 👏 America has lost it's standing in the world. No one needs the headaches.
If only…

Same here! Ron is the main reason I'm attracted to Meidas like a moth to a flame!
I wonder if Ron is old enough to know Rona Barrett. I can picture her with the hair and voice. I loved her!
Same
Senator Warnock responded as every Democratic politician should when media try to bring up Tapper 's book.
That was last year and we need to focus on the Trump administration's assault on ordinary Americans and the rule of law.
Yes. Same to Comer and the idiots . Still fishing for dirt on Biden, what a waste of human life.. Get over it. Snowflakes.lol
