… NYT: “In big cities and small towns across the world, protesters gathered for thousands of rallies against Trump and his policies and actions, with the self-stated goal of fighting dictatorship.
The KGB is talented with honey and money traps. Trump openly admitted Russians supplied their cash needs. And Epstein - Trump conducted international “business” via Soviet and Soviet block banks. You can bet Trump takes his orders from the guy Trump had our soldiers on their knees literally rolling out the red carpet for. To say nothing of secret meetings with no Americans in the room. 47 is a Russian asset. Why else did Russia work so hard to get him elected?
Remember that meeting Trump & Putin had in Helsinki during Trump’s first regime? The one where Trump made his translator destroy her notes? Remember the photo of them walking out of the meeting where Trump looked like a whipped dog & Putin looked like the cat who swallowed the canary? I think Trump got his marching orders from Putin at that meeting. I also think Trump’s obsession about the 2020 election & it being rigged was because it was supposed to be rigged in his favor. But, far more people voted by mail that year & Biden legitimately won. Why else does Trump hate mail in voting? I believe the 2024 election was rigged with Russia & Elon’s help. Trump has even said without Elon & his computers he wouldn’t have won. And now we’re living Trump doing Putin’s bidding, destroying this country.
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, and YEP. (I believe the puppet's grooming by the internationally recognized world's best manipulator began around 2010 or 11..)
You're 100% correct and it pisses me off that Ron not Meidas will even look into it. There's more that enough evidence now and we need a big independent journalist to bring this to light. We're never going to win the midterms because the meddling has already been installed into the equipment and guess who owns majority of that equipment? The corrupt government.
I would be for not knowing the results for a few days if the ballots were hand counted with bipartisan over site. No more machines that the republicans own and run including the programs.
Kris, DT had that same whipped-dog look when he left the Alaska red-carpet private meeting with Putin who then quickly departed, spurning the haute cuisine feast DT had all laid out for his Rusky boss.
Agent Orange probably got the green light to attack Iran from Putin. You can't tell me no one thought the Straits of Hormuz would be closed. Putin would have known that and recognised the opportunity to use Israel to get Russian oil freed up to pay for continuing his grind on Ukraine. Russia's economy was on the ropes. Now, not so much as the USA is spending billions daily to fill Russia's coffers. Trump works for Putin. Period.
Aye. And suddenly Putin is selling billions in previously sanctioned oil. So now Trump is enabling Putin to continue his regime and war. It’s intuitively obvious to the most casual observer Trump is a Russian puppet.
Putin is selling the oil already on the high seas, about 1.4m barrels, about one day of world demand, but they're going to have a difficult time selling oil in the future with their pipelines, refineries, and ports on fire. The entire Russian Black Sea fleet is on the bottom of the sea. Reporting from Kyiv says that 9 oligarchs have fled Russia with their cash, and the entire senior military leadership of the Russian Army, including Shoigu, is in prison. The head of Pravda was defenestrated earlier in the year. Last week, one of Putin's influencer bros lost it and started criticising Putin in a live video. He's now in a notorious Moscow psychiatric hospital used to torture dissidents. The internet has been shut off for normal citizen use in central Moscow for about 3 weeks and Red Square is an armed camp. Putin has apparently gone to ground. Looks like invading Ukraine was not that great of an idea.
And Zelenski claim to have photographic and other proof that Russia is playing both sides against the middle. Russia wants the US and Trump may hand it to him.
We know many Congress people got an influx of money from Russia after Citizen's United. How deeply has Russia infiltrated our government and what strings are they pulling?
I think once Trump does that Jack Smith who is still a young man, will talk.
There is no reason for maintain Judge Aileen's order to seal everything once Trump is dead. I bet i outlive Trump. I exercize 3 times a week just like Medicare says I should.
Absolutely! He keeps saying how transparent he & his administration are. He’s right. He doesn’t even bother hiding all of the grifting he does. And neither does anyone else in his family or administration/regime.

Bring on the "terrific" progressive Democrats...........Chuckles and AIPAC Jeffires need to go. Their clock has run out and time for fresh batteries with new life.
Sorry but Jeffries has done a great job and will be incredible as speaker. And the minute you toss "AIPAC" casually into the conversation, there's no credibility there. This misguided obsession with AIPAC (which I've despised longer than you likely even knew they existed) has little to do with what is good for this country.
Apologies. I didn't follow the thread back far enough and you are correct—but you were responding by my reply to Barry, who said this: "If we impeached politicians for outrageous lies Congress and state legislatures would be empty."
I stand by my reply to his comment "I think that would leave the Dems at a distinct advantage," which in no way implied that Dems never lie about anything, rather that they don't tell outrageous lies.
The entire lapdog ReThuglican party lies. Nothing but chaos, lies, corruption from this unethical administration every single day. What a constant source of embarrassment this pedophile protection party continues to be. Just imagine our kids and grandkids knowing the leader is a 34 ct convicted felon and adjudicated sexual assaulter. Smdh, no moral compass or human decency with these losers.
Ron Johnson's suggestion about Democrats actually " causing" the martyrdom of Pretti and Good is totally despicable! He sounds like a Party member out of 1984 (I'm rereading it right now, so it's on my mind).
SFGal, it seems likely Orwell observed the world around him and did not find it too great a stretch to foresee what he wrote in 1984, what we are living. “George Orwell Explains in a Revealing 1944 Letter Why He’d Write 1984”; https://tinyurl.com/rwff2nez. KH
"Do you realise, for instance, that no one in England under 26 now has a vote and that so far as one can see the great mass of people of that age don’t give a damn for this? Secondly there is the fact that the intellectuals are more totalitarian in outlook than the common people. On the whole the English intelligentsia have opposed Hitler, but only at the price of accepting Stalin. Most of them are perfectly ready for dictatorial methods, secret police, systematic falsification of history etc. so long as they feel that it is on ‘our’ side. Indeed the statement that we haven’t a Fascist movement in England largely means that the young, at this moment, look for their fuhrer elsewhere. One can’t be sure that that won’t change, nor can one be sure that the common people won’t think ten years hence as the intellectuals do now. I hope they won’t, I even trust they won’t, but if so it will be at the cost of a struggle. If one simply proclaims that all is for the best and doesn’t point to the sinister symptoms, one is merely helping to bring totalitarianism nearer."
Thank you, Kelvin, for this most intriguing and insightful citation. One of my friends is now teaching "1984" in her 12th grade high school International Baccalaureate (IB) classes which her diverse classes find both stimulating and enlightening, perhaps intellectually fortifying them as they move forward in life (for what it's worth in a MAGA-contaminated society, though you point out that "sinister syndrome" is not unique to our current experience). I appreciate you sharing your insights. (:
Duh, Fraser! Thank you for pointing out my mistake about grade level, too long rushing on the keyboard not proofing carefully. Crazy day! Gracias for saving me from too much embarrassment!
I read "It Can't Happen Here" around the same time. It was also like reading the current news. As I read it, I realized ICE was the equivalent of the Minutemen in that book.
… Tim O’Harrow: “I don’t know that I’m a Republican anymore. I don’t know what we are anymore.”
But you voted for him in 2024 for the third time, didn’t you Tim? 4 years after his attempted insurrection and overthrow of a legitimately elected government, you goddam voted for him again, I’m willing to bet. And it’s pathetic that it took him terrorizing your workers to get you to finally see a sliver of the light. I have no sympathy for you or anyone else, including the fucking farmers, who refused to see this piece of shit for what he is until the results of his criminal actions come knocking on your front door. If you had any sense at all, you would have left that criminal organization calling itself the Republican Party a long damned time ago. Good luck finding out where you do belong now.
What’s wrong with this picture? The Nazi Republicans are demanding $200B for more funding for Mullin’s Gestapo which he inherited from cowgirl Noem and Adolph Eichmann(aka Stephen Miller)
But wait for it This demand for more $$$ comes when Cheeto and his Nazi Congressional allies passed $45B in the first budget bill last year So now this most recent funding bill for ICE/CBP is 4.5x more than originally allocated Why does ICE need this more extensive funding? Since spendthrift Cheeto sees the Treasury as his own piggy bank it’s just a vicarious request to screw the American people without accountability
Is the funding for more concentration camps? Is it to hire and partially train more Gestapo agents to roam and maraud American communities? Is it to use extra Gestapo agents at polling places during the midterms? It’s surely not for border patrol agents since there aren’t any immigrants coming across the border anymore Nobody wants to live in a gulag D’s are making the Nazis accountable and they don’t like it
… Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL): “It appears there are some very angry, low-IQ members of Congress who seem to think the State Dept did not approve travel for peace talks regarding Russia.”
No, the low IQ individuals are the WH idiots like you who think Putin wants peace. He wants Ukraine and every former USSR vassal state.
Everything about all these Maggat brain women makes me sick . They have to be so weak. How do you back being treated the way they all ultimately will end up be treated by the regime.
Putin must have something really good on our Tyrant, which means it must be really bad and we all know what it must be in relation to…drum roll…Epstein! So we have a Tyrant who is just a Putin Puppet which we all knew that as well but it is showing more and more in actions that cannot be hidden. God help us to get through the next 2.9 years! Wonderful weekend bulletin and No Kings signs, Ron, thank you!!!
I figured CSmith had covered that part with his comment "... we all know what it must be in relation to…drum roll…Epstein!" Release the Epstein files and Jack Smith's Volume II report!!!
… Trump on Fox refused Zelensky’s offer for Ukraine to help with Iranian drones: “We don’t need their help in drone defense. We know more about drones than anybody.”
Sure you do, Mr. Low IQ Ignoramus. That's why you're wasting 4 million dollar missiles to shoot down one $10,000 drone and are LOSING the war you started—all while you help Putin, who is helping Iran.
hegshit shot 850 of those 4 million missiles in 3 weeks!!!!! THats over $2 Billion in just missiles and ,oops, hegshit murdered 175 students and teachers with one of those stray missiles...or I mean, the idiot in the room fired all the experienced military and used years old intel!....I think POS LOSER POTUS,Hegshit, barron, jared, jackoff, rubio, vd and bessent should suit up and go to their fucking war!
Why did we shutboff the electric grid in Cuba? We weren't at war with them. Read about hospitals in Cuba generators apparently failing and all patients on oxygen and in ICU and babies in incubators died. This administration continues to accumulate more blood on their hands.
How do we know this Russian ship isn't delivering drones?
We did not directly shut off the Cuban electrical grid, they ran out of fuel for electricity generation. Of course, we shut down their access to oil. Why? Sheer petulance by Trump and Rubio so they can feel tough.
Had to look her up; found this on Wiki. Pretty hard to know where the complete truth lies, but I'm with the queen on this one:
The Romans' next actions were described by Tacitus, who detailed pillaging of the countryside, the ransacking of the king's household, and the brutal treatment of Boudica and her daughters. According to Tacitus, Boudica was flogged and her daughters were raped.[15] These abuses are not mentioned in Dio's account, who instead cites three different causes for the rebellion: the recalling of loans that were given to the Britons by Seneca; Decianus Catus's confiscation of money formerly loaned to the Britons by the Emperor Claudius; and Boudica's own entreaties.[5][8] The loans were thought by the Iceni to have been repaid by gift exchange.
Is Ron Johnson competing for the most creative MAGAs BS’er in Congress? Hey Ron tell us more lies.. then GFY.
Johnson has always been a tool. Probably second in stupid remarks behind only Tuberville.
I second that Steve F, I second that.
Don't forget a hardcore traitor. Should be in Leavenworth.
Sounds like either one could run with Vance as V.P.!
They can just "step over" the lowered bar. Pretty soon they'll have to dig to find it!!
Hey, let’s not leave Roger Marshall out of the discussion!
No, he's just an idiot.
Yes: Nice try ron; SHOW US THE RECEIPTS LIKE A BIG BOY.
Putin has the Trump-Epstein bank receipts.
The KGB is talented with honey and money traps. Trump openly admitted Russians supplied their cash needs. And Epstein - Trump conducted international “business” via Soviet and Soviet block banks.

I firmly believe that THIS is what worries trump so much about the Epstein files - the "Trump/Epstein/Russia" connection.
Not the sex abuse - MAGA only worry about that when Dems do it.
But how much Putin has on Donald about money laundering, drug running, sex trafficking - and how much help Putin has had from Donald over the years.
If/when Trump is exposed for being a Russian spy - hanging him for treason is a natural outcome.
It would be zero surprise if drugs and murder is part of it.
We know many Congress people got an influx of money from Russia after Citizen's United. How deeply has Russia infiltrated our government and what strings are they pulling?
Russia owns the President. It appears to be enough. Gotta wonder about Lady Lindsay too.
and probably those stolen classified documents.
I think once Trump does that Jack Smith who is still a young man, will talk.
There is no reason for maintain Judge Aileen's order to seal everything once Trump is dead. I bet i outlive Trump. I exercize 3 times a week just like Medicare says I should.
And pictures! Indisputable proof!
Absolutely. I’d bet pics, videos, audio and docs.
Truth Matters, Facts Matter, I wish proof and evidence mattered in this fucking regime!
Absolutely! He keeps saying how transparent he & his administration are. He’s right. He doesn’t even bother hiding all of the grifting he does. And neither does anyone else in his family or administration/regime.

Just the flattest beyond sell-by date, Fraser.
Ron Johnson needs to be impeached immediately for this outrageous lie.
If we impeached politicians for outrageous lies Congress and state legislatures would be empty.
That's OK, preferred over lies&corruption!
We'd still have plenty of congresspeople left — but they'd all be Democrats. I can make you a list. We have some terrific Democratic congresspeople.

Yup-off to the museum!!
Yes, we do. I over generalized for the sake of a snarky comment.
Snark seems to be your sole and unwelcome raison d'être. Maybe go bye-bye.
Not my sole reason to be, but a good enough one.
I can only imagine 7q11.23 duplication syndrome must be difficult. Of course, you do the best you can, however low that bar. Good for you, Professor!
I think that would leave the Dems at a distinct advantage.
They lie too, just not as blatantly or often.
True! And not so personal and at people's expense-like crude insults!!
They do not tell what you described as "outrageous lies," and I only said it will leave them at a distinct advantage.
True Oak-People don't get shot in the street over a lie-Maga is just plain evil-lies are just a small part of their criminal cruelty!

Who are Johnson 's donors and handlers?
Johnson gets a lot of money from right-wing billionaires in ILLINOIS.
How very annoying for Wisconsinites.
As a Wisconsinite, I'm not just annoyed, I'm furious!
That's useful to know.
Even though he's a Wisconsin senator, Margaret? I'll have to run it down.
Absolutely.
Senators can’t be impeached. Only path for removal is expulsion by a 2/3 vote of senators. Should be another mechanism.
Unfortunately, only appointed politicians can be impeached. Elected officials cannot, but they can be expelled from their body by a 2/3 vote.
I wish people would go back to their old civics notes from high school and understand what exactly impeachment vs. expulsion means.
Ron Johnson's suggestion about Democrats actually " causing" the martyrdom of Pretti and Good is totally despicable! He sounds like a Party member out of 1984 (I'm rereading it right now, so it's on my mind).
I'm nearing the end of Arendt's "Origins of Totalitarianism," and the final chapters are very resonant to today.
Also have 1984 on my shelf to read again, but think I will take a movie break between.
I read it in Highschool, then again about 20 years ago. I think one more time soon is in order.
Good for you, actually rereading 1984. Well done.
I taught 1984 for high school literature as fiction and can't believe we're now actually living it, Barry!

I read it a few months ago. So, so much feels familiar about that book.
LHS, I also reread it again a couple months ago. It was like reading the current news.

Thanks again Ron for straight facts and receipts. We can always count on the Meidas team for the truth.
Good update! I always look forward to your reports.
… Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL): “It appears there are some very angry, low-IQ members of Congress who seem to think the State Dept did not approve travel for peace talks regarding Russia.”
No, the low IQ individuals are the WH idiots like you who think Putin wants peace. He wants Ukraine and every former USSR vassal state.
Some day, we'll find out how much Putin is paying her and Tulsi.
Wish I could believe that, but sure hope you're right and it happens in my lifetime.
I bet she made alot of Rubles that day for her tour! Treasonous Bitch!
Her remark really pissed me off.
Everything about all these Maggat brain women makes me sick . They have to be so weak. How do you back being treated the way they all ultimately will end up be treated by the regime.
"Whatever Putin has on Trump, it’s got to be pretty good"...ain't that the truth, Ron. You could literally write that everyday.
I wonder how many have something pretty good on 47.
Jack Smith sure does. Release Volume II of our taxpayer funded report!!!
I'm convinced it's snuff films. It's the one line that cannot be uncrossed.
Putin must have something really good on our Tyrant, which means it must be really bad and we all know what it must be in relation to…drum roll…Epstein! So we have a Tyrant who is just a Putin Puppet which we all knew that as well but it is showing more and more in actions that cannot be hidden. God help us to get through the next 2.9 years! Wonderful weekend bulletin and No Kings signs, Ron, thank you!!!

Don't forget money laundering and loans for a perpetually bankrupt idiot who was shut out of many American banks.
He has alot of dirty secrets from the Casino days and even before. He has been a slime since born.
Knowing the shit he's pulled , I will NEVER get why anyone would vote for him for anything. Still can not believe it.
Along with global sex and drug trafficking, Oak! I suspect it's all stashed at MAL in those scores of stolen boxes.
I figured CSmith had covered that part with his comment "... we all know what it must be in relation to…drum roll…Epstein!" Release the Epstein files and Jack Smith's Volume II report!!!
Yes, I assumed that as well, Oak. Simply my version of rubbing salt in DT's thin-skinned wounds becoming more visible with each public spectacle.
… Trump on Fox refused Zelensky’s offer for Ukraine to help with Iranian drones: “We don’t need their help in drone defense. We know more about drones than anybody.”
Sure you do, Mr. Low IQ Ignoramus. That's why you're wasting 4 million dollar missiles to shoot down one $10,000 drone and are LOSING the war you started—all while you help Putin, who is helping Iran.
If you made this shit up, people would tell you you're exaggerating. Instead, it's our reality.
hegshit shot 850 of those 4 million missiles in 3 weeks!!!!! THats over $2 Billion in just missiles and ,oops, hegshit murdered 175 students and teachers with one of those stray missiles...or I mean, the idiot in the room fired all the experienced military and used years old intel!....I think POS LOSER POTUS,Hegshit, barron, jared, jackoff, rubio, vd and bessent should suit up and go to their fucking war!
Why did we shutboff the electric grid in Cuba? We weren't at war with them. Read about hospitals in Cuba generators apparently failing and all patients on oxygen and in ICU and babies in incubators died. This administration continues to accumulate more blood on their hands.
How do we know this Russian ship isn't delivering drones?
These deaths were unnecessary. 😪😥😭
We did not directly shut off the Cuban electrical grid, they ran out of fuel for electricity generation. Of course, we shut down their access to oil. Why? Sheer petulance by Trump and Rubio so they can feel tough.
Rubio has had a hard-on to overthrow the Castro regime for decades.
Rubio wants to be El Jefe there for life, Oak!
War is hell. A woman president never would have gone to war.
See Margaret Thatcher for counter example.
Golda Meier as well (not sure if I spelled her name correctly)
Hillary too. Voted to invade Iraq.
First-century Celtic queen Boudica led an uprising against the Roman occupiers.
I'm thinking that was a justified, defensive war, unlike this Iran "excursion."
Yes, *very* justified.
Didn't the Romans kidnap and rape her? Then she went home and raised an army. Whoops.
Had to look her up; found this on Wiki. Pretty hard to know where the complete truth lies, but I'm with the queen on this one:
The Romans' next actions were described by Tacitus, who detailed pillaging of the countryside, the ransacking of the king's household, and the brutal treatment of Boudica and her daughters. According to Tacitus, Boudica was flogged and her daughters were raped.[15] These abuses are not mentioned in Dio's account, who instead cites three different causes for the rebellion: the recalling of loans that were given to the Britons by Seneca; Decianus Catus's confiscation of money formerly loaned to the Britons by the Emperor Claudius; and Boudica's own entreaties.[5][8] The loans were thought by the Iceni to have been repaid by gift exchange.
I wouldn't bet on that. Women rulers have gone to war throughout history.
Especially American ones.
