1 million people checked out the first Top 15 signs from 2 weeks ago. Here of some of my favorites yesterday:Meidas+ is a reader-supported publication.
tRump probably wrote the report himself. To say that he passed 30 out of 30 on the cognitive test was utter BS. We have all seen him stumbling with his words, and actions. Saw him leave the WH the other day and he sure seemed to have difficulty walking. He has worse brain action than Biden did. With what he is doing to the country, does anyone believe his results of his physical. I say he made the doctor write that report with threat or he wrote it himself. Why does the Senate want a demented man to run the country? Are they all demented, too and think that this is normal?
The cognitive tests are not an IQ test. They are supposed to detect clear evidence of some kind of mental deterioration. An eight year old could probably get a perfect score.
Those cognitive tests are a joke. My landlord passed several of them during the past few years, and his family accepted that he was mentally fine, even though I've all but been screaming for years that he has dementia. Finally, only two months ago, he had deteriorated so badly that he has been in medical facilities ever since, is never coming home, and one of his doctors has advised the family that his dementia is advanced...
Yeah. I swear my nana had early onset in her 30’s!! She’s always been flighty/quirky. She was diagnosed with mild impairments for a decade before she fell into a brain malfunction and lost her ability to talk/ walk. They labeled her mild…. Never moderate until her last two years. It must take a million points of contention before they throw out a moderate to severe diagnosis. I wonder if the insurance companies have something to do with it.
In the case of my landlord, no doctors were involved until recently. So, insurance coverage wasn't an issue, either (Medicare is his only medical coverage). The cognitive tests were given by social workers from the local Adult Protective Services agency. Apparently, my landlord's family was all too willing to accept the results of those stupid tests, and to remain in denial of the obvious problem.
That's the thing though. Trump is showing clear evidence of rapidly advancing cognitive decline. An 8-year-old WOULD get a perfect score because an 8-year-old's brain is firing on all cylinders. Trump is at the point where he obviously forgets what question he was asked halfway through his answer, so just starts talking in circles (also without ever ending the sentence). His balance is going - I can think of multiple examples but the most recent one I saw was him being interviewed on Air Force One. Every reporter holding a camera is standing perfectly still; Trump is holding onto the door frame and is STILL swaying. He can't hold a cup or a glass in one hand and STILL needs a straw to get the liquid into his mouth. He's losing the ability to recall simple words partway through and ends up replacing the syllable he can't recall with a nonsense syllable. "Hamburder." "Chriscmas." There's more. He was always obsessed with certain words, repeating them to the point of ridiculousness, but it's become so much worse recently. Everything is "beautiful". He's stuck on "groceries" ("a bag with a bunch of different things in it"? Really, Donald? You have to define "groceries" for the nation and can't even do it correctly?). He confused Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley on 40 separate occasions in public.
Last week, 300 neurologists who specialize in dementia wrote a public letter listing over 300 examples of Trump's advancing cognitive decline. Their collective conclusion is that he's gotten to the point where he'll decline faster and faster from this point forward - and since he's in denial about it, he's not doing any of the things that help slow the progression of his dementia. In no more than two years, my honest belief is that he'll be unable to recognize his own cabinet members about half the time. They won't be able to hide it much longer. They aren't successfully hiding it now. He's in worse shape than Reagan was in his second term - and if he doesn't get impeached, he has over three and a half years to go.
Because the demented man isn’t. Steven Miller and the rest of project 2025 authors are. Trump gets so excited about writing his name with a sharpie he’s satisfied to let them have the decision making part. It’s like giving a toddler a coloring book and crayons.
No, but the Repubbies are beadily determined to keep their hands--and theirs alone--on ALL the levers of power. They would probably ditch 47 except that it is his (unfortunately bestowed) super-power that keeps the MAGA base fired up and loyal.
I think they hope to use the guy with dementia to gain their own interests. They surely can't believe that he will be able to even fake a facade of mental fitness much longer, so they use his popularity with the easily- misled followers to feather their own nest while they can.
He isn’t actually in charge, though, demented as he is. Musk and the
Project 2025 boys are running the show. That’s why congressional republicans are doing nothing. They all want this dictatorship and have been working for this since Reagan. (See Heritage Foundation who picked all of the conservative justices and wrote Proj 2025). I don’t see how this ends without a massive fight.
You're assuming he has an issued license to practice. If he does, though, we can look that up if anyone has revealed his name. And then, ya know what? I bet we could demand the AMA revoke it.
Never gave his license a thought but with all the shady business going on he probably doesn't. Seems like demanding this cult to revoke anything is never going to happen.
There could be MAGA, or at least hard-core conservatives, at AMA but my experience with physicians is that they are highly intelligent or at least have disciplined learning skills. The other issue (which I consider a problem) is that they are so deeply involved in their profession that they really have no time or patience for much involvement in politics (until it affects their grant funding). Having been peripherally involved in the practice and teaching of medicine, I consider the fact that he could have fake credientials highly likely because, as skeevy as that sounds, it does happen. It would be good to expose that should it be the case. Fake credentials are fraud and frowned upon in general (but would make that doctor a logical choice for Trump).
Are you kidding? LOL! Everything about Trump is fake. It's so easy to see. I like your reply though. I can see you're intelligent. I"m just a plain ole mom.
Oh, I wouldn't go so far as to declare me intelligent. Let's just say I have definitely been around more than one block and am aquainted with this particular topic. However, thank you for your support 😍 ‼️Plain ole moms lives matter too 💯💥
I saw on the Liz Cheney/Adam Kinsinger against trump site that 2 German wome, touring Hawaii were arrested and deported to .... Japan. But they are back in Germany where they are now safe.
There’s plenty to expose without mocking his weight. I think we should lay off personal insults. He does SO much harm to real people. Let’s focus on that.
Words on cardboard. Ink on skin. Messages scrawled at the edge of exhaustion and courage.
These signs weren’t just clever—they were spells. Streetlit declarations, torn from bedrooms and dorm rooms and aching hearts. Each one a refusal. Each one a reminder: language is still a weapon, still a balm.
What happens when protest becomes poetry? When resistance becomes ritual?
In a world trying to erase voices, these signs screamed back with grace, grit, and fire.
For sure the one the 93 year old had. I THINK I have physical issues that prevent me from attending a protest in person, but maybe I need to think a little more and figure out a way to go anyway.
I went to my first protest yesterday. I’m 80 and on BP meds. and have trouble walking. I’m so glad I went& next time would take a folding chair& maybe some water. I met women older & more experienced in attending protests than I. I came home feeling that I’d been to a party & look forward to the next one. Also felt good that I stood up with my sign & publicly declared my contempt for Trxmp!
Gretchen, on the hands off protest I had a chair and it was great.
Yesterday no chair, and I was tired.
We left just maybe 10 minutes early but I was done.
Use my sign hack.
Use duck tape and tape a Swiffer Mop to the back of your sign.
The mop head keeps the sign up firm and gives a nice handle to hold. Easier than using 2 hands to hold up your sign. Once you come home jsut rip the tape off and you have your Swiffer Mop again.
You are such an inspiration!!!! While I am thinking about maybe attending a protest, I have to wonder if it makes sense for me to spend the close to $100 to go (gas, probably parking, stuff I'd need to physically be able to go) or to donate that money to someone or some organization.
If it’s physicallly & financially difficult for you to show up in person I suggest a donation. I was able to go in person with the help of my sister & her husband. I usually donate to the porta-potty fund for marches/ demonstrations. The one on Saturday was a mile from my home & we parked in a shopping mall parking lot (free). The wonderful part was being with like-minded people; the energy was incredible.
I have the flu but yesterday I sat on my front porch with an American flag and an Ukranian flag on view. It was a small gesture but it meant so much to me!!!
I hear ya. I'm afraid if I fly a controversial flag my neighbors might set our house on fire. However whenever I see an outward display it warms my heart. I am selective about when and where I say what. Maybe it's time I get bolder 🇺🇦 Kudos to you 🙏💜👍
Same here- but my neighbor flies a huge trumphf & American flag at their house! Why shouldn’t we be able to fly flags of our choice??? Freedom of speech?? Don’t let them take that away!
That's the silver lining in all of this that I see too! I think 9-11 was the last time we all pulled together against an attack against us all. Doing so is one of our super powers but we've become too divided to remember it. Not this time. Hopefully the banding together expands and we'll figure out together how to reclaim all our freedoms.
People are afraid to chant initially. I went around on our corner and told people our chanting is not up to snuff, we need to pick up the chanting. Oh BOY! After that everybody joined enthusiastically.
Gen X, and happy to see more Gen Z out yesterday (including my kid and her friend!). And so happy to be chanting, “Stand up, fight back!” with a crowd in St Paul, MN.
There was a woman going around with a megaphone asking us to show her what democracy looks like and then we were chanting back. “This is what democracy looks like.” I did participate!
So many good ones. Hope the orange felon saw the one of the little kid mocking his fake medical report.
The doctor who put those medical "facts" out should have his license taken off him.

Because they know how easily they can manipulate him with a lying compliment 🙄

I'm with you Judy.

Hi RON. 👋 So nice to get one of your bulletins that is 100% funny. What a great day Saturday was.
Beautifully said!

Project 2025 boys are running the show. That’s why congressional republicans are doing nothing. They all want this dictatorship and have been working for this since Reagan. (See Heritage Foundation who picked all of the conservative justices and wrote Proj 2025). I don’t see how this ends without a massive fight.
People keep asking why he has gone hig wild on all his causes. Well, they know their days are numbered with Trump.
They're trying do as much damage as soon as possible.
You're assuming he has an issued license to practice. If he does, though, we can look that up if anyone has revealed his name. And then, ya know what? I bet we could demand the AMA revoke it.

Yes, I agree with that.
Let’s hope not. I’m sure Dtrump will want to deport the little kid!
I saw on the Liz Cheney/Adam Kinsinger against trump site that 2 German wome, touring Hawaii were arrested and deported to .... Japan. But they are back in Germany where they are now safe.
That is sick.
!!!!
Phew‼️
Malignant narcissistic personality disorder strikes again.
Yes, that was one of the best!
So glad I’m not a Republican🇺🇸
I loved that one!
My favorite sign yesterday was:
There's not enough cardboard in the world!
(So true)
My fave was the Statue of Liberty. Someone should make an exhibition with the best signs in. Just a thought. Solidarity from the UK 🇬🇧
Great idea!
My sign:
The orange fat fuckweasel,
His muskRat & muskMICE,
And his GOPher minions
WE HAVE BEEN INVADED BY VERMIN!!!
Call the exterminator!!!
On the nose! 🦅With the rubber hose!
There’s plenty to expose without mocking his weight. I think we should lay off personal insults. He does SO much harm to real people. Let’s focus on that.
You do you, I will do me. He has made a mockery of this country, so I do not feel bad mocking him.

In a world trying to erase voices, these signs screamed back with grace, grit, and fire.
What did you see that stayed with you?
Still marching, still writing, still becoming ♾️
Your turn now.
What I witnessed: true patriotism, love and acceptance for fellow humans, belief turned into action, no fear, courage for the days ahead.
I loved this one best....ELECT A RACIST, EXPECT TO BE RAPED!
OOPS! Got that wrong. It was "Elect a rapist, expect to be fucked!"
That's so funny!!!!
For sure the one the 93 year old had. I THINK I have physical issues that prevent me from attending a protest in person, but maybe I need to think a little more and figure out a way to go anyway.

Brilliant! You are an experienced protester, I salute you!
Thank you! Good idea 👍

Thanks for your comment!
Wow. Well said. Thank you.
Beautiful!! That is FREE SPEECH! It is the power of the pen/hands/voice. To be seen and to be heard!
Well said!!
Beautiful - poetry speaks the from the soul
Wow, what a beautiful sentiment. Thank you.
I have the flu but yesterday I sat on my front porch with an American flag and an Ukranian flag on view. It was a small gesture but it meant so much to me!!!
"A" for effort!
Hope you get well soon and many thanks for doing what you did!!! Way to stand up for democracy!
Every little thing we do counts!
I hear ya. I'm afraid if I fly a controversial flag my neighbors might set our house on fire. However whenever I see an outward display it warms my heart. I am selective about when and where I say what. Maybe it's time I get bolder 🇺🇦 Kudos to you 🙏💜👍
Same here- but my neighbor flies a huge trumphf & American flag at their house! Why shouldn’t we be able to fly flags of our choice??? Freedom of speech?? Don’t let them take that away!
These are wonderful. I just thought of another: America is being held in stocks and bondage.
These are priceless 💙💙💙😘
Love, love, love all of the signs! Together, he has brought us together! And together we will stand for what is right!
That's the silver lining in all of this that I see too! I think 9-11 was the last time we all pulled together against an attack against us all. Doing so is one of our super powers but we've become too divided to remember it. Not this time. Hopefully the banding together expands and we'll figure out together how to reclaim all our freedoms.
We're in 9-11again. Only from within
"Enemies, Foreign and Domestic"
My favorite was a guy wearing a Meidas Network tee shirt at the rally in Trenton.
Love all of these!
Thank you Americans
Brilliant, inspirational and funny! MAGA has no sense of humor whatsoever.
Nice work folks!
I went to my first ever protest at 52 years old! Bremerton, Washington! I saw so many great signs.
The Boomers come out in force as we are used to protesting from our youth.
We protested the Viet Nam war, we protested for Womens Rights, Black Civil Rights.
So we are all experienced at protesting, most of us anyway.
I was pleased to see some Gen X-ers and Millenials at our protest yesterday.
Gen X here!
Laurie- PROUD of YOU GURL!
Did you chant?
People are afraid to chant initially. I went around on our corner and told people our chanting is not up to snuff, we need to pick up the chanting. Oh BOY! After that everybody joined enthusiastically.
Gen X, and happy to see more Gen Z out yesterday (including my kid and her friend!). And so happy to be chanting, “Stand up, fight back!” with a crowd in St Paul, MN.
There was a woman going around with a megaphone asking us to show her what democracy looks like and then we were chanting back. “This is what democracy looks like.” I did participate!
I was in Olympia. We were wanted to go to Bremerton. I haven’t seen any pictures from there yet. Thank you👊🏼💙
There are pics in the friends of Manette group and Secret Bremerton.
Thank you!! New connections are gold💙💛
Can you give me a link? I can’t find either one. TY
https://www.facebook.com/share/g/19PErLsY48/?mibextid=wwXIfr
WAS THERE TOO!!
Ahhhhh! You from Bremerton!!!!!!!
More of these, please!
Yesterday, my 4 foot sign said, “How to make America great: cut jobs/healthcare, screw allies, DEFY Supreme Court!”
Priceless signs, love them all
My sign: I hate Trump more than I hate crowds
Me too!
OMG I love that! I may use it in your honor 💜🤣🙏
