I just received my $90 bribe from tRump and then got a disgusting email from said grifter. I was a Meidas member initially but money is too tight now for me to continue (Social Security is my only income). However, I’d like to donate the $90 I received to Meidas so they can continue their work keeping us informed. How can I do that? I don’t know if it’s safe to give my email address in this post so not sure how to proceed.

You are far too kind, Diana. One-time contributions to MeidasTouch Network can also be made securely at https://growmeidas.com

Same here. Or you could donate that bribe to James Talarico or one of the other campaigns that drives Orange Caligula into a tizzy.

That's my plan! 😃

I’m donating my Trump bribe to Jon Ossoff.

My $90 went to Angie Nixon in Florida!

I have been paying the full insurance cost (and happy to) since day one of Obamacare, so I got the full $500 bribe. THAT LETTER PISSED ME OFF SO DAMN MUCH. I am trying to decide whether to endorse the whole check over to Planned Parenthood in Mississippi, or use the Meidas Bros new app.oath.vote tool to give to campaigns. Makes me wonder how many other small businesses like me are doing the same thing with the money. Talk about bribe backfire!

How about giving half to each? My Mom always sends money to Planned Parenthood. Worthy cause, under attack.

ms. thrifty's avatar

Oath.vote seems a good option. I will put in my 2 cents for a donation - even a small one - to Sherrod Brown, Amy Acton, or the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

If you would like, I will "gift" you an annual subscription to Meidas? Not a good idea to post your email address here. Please send me a DM with your email address and I will get the subscription paid for you.

Hang on to your "bribe" money or give it to a Dem for their campaign. 😉 Send me a DM if you're interested. 😉

Diana Green's avatar

Thank you so much. I just resubscribed to Meidas - it was just another $10. I appreciate your offer. ☺️

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

You're welcome. I would have been happy to help but glad you were able to get a paid subscription again 🫶🏼

You are a patriot.

Shannon Griffiths's avatar

You're so wonderful. I know that $90 could go to other things, so thank you for thinking democracy is worth it.

Robot Bender's avatar

If I get one, it's going right to Democratic candidates.

Jayne's avatar

That $90 is about 1/3-1/4 of a monthly premium for just 1 month. Wow, don't spend it all in one place, Diana ;)

Diana Green's avatar

Well, I did. I resubscribed to Meidas - and, yes, as a bribe it was a pretty pitiful amount … but I doubt anyone’s ever claimed tRump is generous.

Old Uncle Dave's avatar

You could get money to them by resubscribing.

Patricia Reed's avatar

What a great idea! I raise a glass of wine to you.

So, Susie's daughter is now committing treason?great, go ahead & help the enemy kill children,& commit war crimes Katie Wiles. ,

Carole137's avatar

Well, Susie's not doing anything to stop the demented one from destroying the country so, why should her daughter?

He can’t stop anyone from calling it AI. NOR GULF OF Mexico nor Lake Ontario. Let him hang me. Or throw me into the ocean. I won’t stop using the words I want to use. He is not the boss of me. He said this morning that we have to respect the president and he gets Tod anything he wants. Well that is wrong.

Caryl Scherptong's avatar

I DO respect the office of the president of the United States. But definitely not that POS MF desecrating it right now!!

Jo's avatar

Attn: I hope that everyone knows that he's MAKING MONEY from changing the name of AI. He & his other complicit crooks bought up the domains/ branding (new name) or however that works. Confirmed report.

Kate's avatar

Go figure. The POS doesn't do anything unless he's making bank.

Robin's avatar

and T regime family is silent... as they know he is 80yo and on the way out... they know they all pocket the grifted $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and live on it entire lives.

Old Uncle Dave's avatar

AI AI AI - Back in the 70s I was envious of a lawyer friend who was on Nixon's enemies list. Now I get to be on trump's list. Yay! .😊

Susan Collins, Mike Collins, and Dan Sullivan each have a base pay around $174,000 a year, plus stock portfolios, Susan Collins made around $10 million in just 2025! Mike Collins has a business (Collins Family Enterprises) which earned upwards of $1 million, so these disgusting humans asking their constituents for gas money is despicable!!

Linda (Evanston IL)'s avatar

Plus there are Collin’s pay to play activities as reported by Pro Publica. I would think voters are not that stupid to fall for that, but then again —-

Sophia's avatar

I agree they’re so shameful and disgusting but that’s a repugnican for you!!

Ruth Ann Orlansky's avatar

And don't forget that every member of Congress can constantly profit from inside information. In a perfect world, those chislers would be sending gas money to their constituents!

Stephen Herbits's avatar

Thinking about Cassidy Hutchinson, even if DOJ does not indict, her she ought to sue for attorney's fees, along with the dozen of others who have been investigated and/or indicted for being a Trump enemy. There is now an established pattern and it should cost. I'd contribute to a go-fund-me for such an effort.

Karen Rivera's avatar

Cassidy Hutchinson is incredibly brave, and has survived so much for speaking out.

Linda Donahue's avatar

I don't get why anyone would go after Cassidy Hutchinson at this late date. It is water under the bridge now.

ms. thrifty's avatar

No water under the bridge, ever, for Trump.

Linda Donahue's avatar

This will likely backfire!

Karen Rivera's avatar

Rump's Demented brain is replaying all his favorites. Comey was concluded, Fauci was concluded; Cassidy Hutchinson was concluded. Now he's after them again, just to deflect attention from what Rump et al actually don't want you paying attention to. In the process, causing these people unnecessary legal bills and unimaginable stress to teach We The People not to speak out.

Linda (Evanston IL)'s avatar

James Comer, Letitia James, and David Hearn come to mind!

Catherine Voight's avatar

Got my $90. bribe and immediately donated it to elect Democrat David Crowley for governor in Wisconsin. He can’t buy my vote!

Kate's avatar

I love it!!!

Sophia's avatar

Love this 💙💙💙

that would be the best thing for you Mike Johnson Louisiana lawn boy

Carole137's avatar

Love that for him.

Tully's avatar

I don't know why that man creeps me out so much but he sure does. Something off about him. Wonder what his wife will do with all her fancy southern dresses if he goes back to mowing lawns!

W. Martin's avatar

It's not just you, Tully...

Has Senator Chris Murphy returned safely? President Obama is busy preparing ads to run for several of our candidates. Obama has already campaigned with James Talarico and Josh Turek for Senator (Iowa). He plans to campaign with Dr Abdul-Sayed in Detroit later this month.

Judi DW's avatar

I couldn't even read the disgusting email that came from the Orange One via Medicare. I feel like I need to fumigate my inbox now. Anyway, my $90 will go to Marc Elias and Democracy Defenders.

LHS's avatar

I deleted the email without even opening it. I did not want Mangolini to think I actually read his twaddle, or even looked at it.

Lynda Lamensdorf's avatar

Donating my $90. to Jerri Green; GOV TN, & James Talerico TX; for senate!

The corruption is so thick that it could be cut with a knife……

Fred's avatar

With Susie Wiles’ daughter showing up in Republica Srpska, you have to wonder why these people hate democracy so much. This country has given them so much yet they need to make money from places sympathetic to Vladimir Putin. As you say, truly odd

Jo's avatar

According to Bob Woodward (who has this on audio tape) Trump also connected his so called plan to fight Covid-19 to the 'future' election. This was in the middle of the pandemic, people were dying, but Trumps answer to Bob Woodward was (paraphrasing) "I'll present my plan just before the election!" Mr. Woodward was shocked! Now he's doing it again, The War & The Election.

Robin's avatar

That actually is dt's only plan.

Plans (as we think of them) for humans do not exist... as one would have to think outside themself to create a medical insurance plan, or an infrastructure plan. Or even a get-out-of-war plan.

Thanks Brett for the updates.

Julie DeMicco's avatar

I ordered the book! Thanks for these amazing afternoon updates!

Brett Meiselas's avatar

Thank you, Julie! Appreciate the kind words as well

Diana Green's avatar

I’ll resubscribe to Meidas. Thanks for the suggestions - and I’m glad others are passing along their $90 bribes too.
