Yes! And as usual, the lessons of history totally escape the gleefully ignorant one. He is specifically trying to recreate the conditions of the Gilded era. He wants the oligarchy, the extreme wealth imbalance, and no income tax.
totally agree. I grew up in Kansas in the '50s and it was there in the John Birch Society and other anti-semitism. This IS the nazi playbook! Not enough people have experienced it to understand this truth!
They love to hate, period. A real addiction. We have to disentangle from being their fix. I'm trying to figure that one out but it's clear to me it's addictive narcissistic behavior! Not to mention psychopathic ... the glee in making people suffer and rejoicing in their suffering.
Sometimes it’s the only way I can deal and not give in to despair. I was a conservative for years and have now been a liberal for decades, but I have never before encountered a politician so utterly lacking in both intellect and integrity as is Donald Trump. Not since George Wallace in the ‘60s have I thought about a politician that that person is/was just plain evil.
This drives me so crazy. The crimes took place before he became president and in fact to influence voters so that they did not become aware of his payoffs so what exactly can he be immune for?
Exactly! And when in history has a media organization been held responsible for a jury's verdict? How can they prove that MTN unduly influenced the jury? The counterargument would be Fox forever claiming he was innocent. This is a preposterous and frivolous filing.
Exactly! That is what FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT means! You fight until you WIN, as Kamala Harris said, rather than surrendering your key values merely for financial gain, as Trump is doing in Ukraine. YES WE CAN!!
Bring it Dump and your magot cult. Such a fool and fraud. I will always fight along side you all as the stakes are way to high. Keep it up! He can’t stand not getting good ratings. 🖕🏼😜🖕🏼
I donated to the Ukraine government website yesterday. I went first to Ukraine Red Cross then found the government website. It has a picture of President Zelenskyy on the website. I donated then sent an email telling them how much I admire President Zelenskyy and that millions of Americans are behind them.
Much of the money they receive is spent on huge management fees and salaries and donations are often wasted and not given to individuals for whom it is intended. Also, they charge individuals in desperate situations for water bottles or other necessities, in spite of large donations. I have seen them in action in several countries. A sad spectacle.
My father, who fought in Europe in WW2, never liked the Red Cross. He said that the things people knitted to donate through the Red Cross were SOLD to the soldiers! I have never donated to the Red Cross because of that. I donated to other charities like the Salvation Army.
"Did Zelensky learn from Trump that you should never bite the hands that feed you?" (Quora/Done With The Bullshit)......
"I think what he learned was that the USA is now only a “transactional ally”, which expects literal “payback” in the form of protection money or other assets, and that if that is refused it will threaten to walk away or even to change sides. So yes, in a way, he did learn that the Trump thinks that Zelensky should demonstrate gratitude and humility, rather than behaving as a head of state entitled to some respect, and basically do what he’s told, even if it isn’t in his national interests.
Expecting the USA to defend a principle - eg the sovereignty and territorial integrity of an ally - simply because it is a principle that is shared with that ally, is no longer a reliable predictor of its foreign policy. Taken together with the USA’s own threats to other allies - eg Panama, Canada, and Denmark - and the President’s stated admiration for Putin and Xi, it suggests a foreign policy based only on “might makes right”, and a desire to carve up the world into “spheres of interest” with Russia and China, very much like 19th century imperialists."
I think the punishment is his m.o. -- it's the Godfather/thuggery demand of 100% loyalty. This isn't about peace, it's about money. And if Zelenskyy is thwarting his goal of enriching himself & cronies through those minerals, he will punish anyone in his way. He was angry because Zelenskyy told the truth, so he had to be punished.
He has Norway now along with the increased aid from the EU and Britain. Since trump cut off intelligence from the USA to Ukraine, I am sure the UK will fill that void. Those countries will probably buy their arms from other countries and not the USA. That is more money that our economy will lose.
Trump has had his way with corporate media but Meidas Touch is a whole different animal than the legacy media. Given the fact that some of you are actual lawyers and professors of Law who understand the game, gives you an edge compared to the corporate shills who placate Trumps agenda. Keep up the fight Meidas Touch Network. You are fighting for you own democracy and democracies world wide.
Trump You Can’t Bully Us We Stand With The MTN. You Are A Liar And A Disgrace Not To Mention A Disgusting Pig And Criminal. You Will Always Be A Loser Till The Day You Meet Your Burning Fire. Thank God For The MeidasTouch For All There Truth And Honesty Which You Never Had A Day In Your Pathetic Life.
Stand up to the bully and punch him back right in the face!!!! Do not appease him...Being nice is a sign of weakness...........something the Dems better learn faster than they are.......
Hitler signed the deal with Russia to split Poland.....knowing full well he would invade Russia June 22,1941........Trump deals with Russia are not worth shit to Ukraine!!!
I told my psychiatrist about your podcast & Substack, and he made note of it to share with his other patients that are having a hard time mentally with all of this. You guys give me hope, and now you may also be giving hope to other mental health patients who are searching for nothing but truthful news. From the bottom of my heart, thank you guys for doing what you do. Together we stand strong 💙
Awesome you have a good psychiatrist! I think the only people that aren't having a hard time with what is being done are the ones most in need of self-reflection & mental health help. Community helps me. The abuse we're seeing so clearly is a flashback nightmare for those with trauma disorders & greatly compounds all conditions I bet. We have been unjustly marginalized. There is strength in speaking truth to power. I'd rather have my challenges than be than clueless, raging narcissist & I think these people should be more careful how far they're pushing someone like me that isn't wrapped too tight, LOL. Seriously, though, it's good to be in good company. Meidas Mighty! 💙
Never back down Meidas Mighty and all of the wonderful staff and commentators you have under the network!!! You stick with us and we will stick with you 💯🫶💪💙
Hi Ben your work is vital. Trump will try everything to silence free speech. It looks to me as if trump will attempt to end future free elections with martial law. He is decapitating the military and state security systems He is certainly not behaving as if he cares about the support of the electorate. He probably hopes that protests will become violent.
God help America because the elected representatives cannot or will not.
As a European I feel so sorry for you. Once so strong and free being dragged down so quickly.
Yeah, we’re down, but we’re sure as hell not out! Musk and Trump will soon be swept away into the proverbial dustbin of history, along with the Project 2025 cabalists and assorted psychopaths and sycophants who exude the maga stench.
Love you guys! Keep up the fight! We are all behind you!
I agree we need this site and people who believe in our real government.
Stay strong - counter attack the orange menace! 2025 feels like 1937 again, so I updated the famous poem. First they came for Mighty Meidas: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/first-they-came-for-public-servants-2025
And NPR, PBS
Yes! And as usual, the lessons of history totally escape the gleefully ignorant one. He is specifically trying to recreate the conditions of the Gilded era. He wants the oligarchy, the extreme wealth imbalance, and no income tax.
The jewish hate already existed here in Dearborn, MI (Henry Ford). Hitler admired him.
This is Hitler all over again. But now, the enemy to blame is brown immigrants.
totally agree. I grew up in Kansas in the '50s and it was there in the John Birch Society and other anti-semitism. This IS the nazi playbook! Not enough people have experienced it to understand this truth!
I agree, now it is a new class of scapegoats.
They love to hate, period. A real addiction. We have to disentangle from being their fix. I'm trying to figure that one out but it's clear to me it's addictive narcissistic behavior! Not to mention psychopathic ... the glee in making people suffer and rejoicing in their suffering.
Keep up the good work. We need the truth.
It’s a bad situation when 17-year olds can’t vote because they’re too young but three-year olds can be president. (And I totes agree with Pam.)
I love this, Peter Roest! I needed a laugh!
Sometimes it’s the only way I can deal and not give in to despair.

Trump + Musk = Badman + Robbin'
Luckily, they’re both already active in those careers so they should be quite successful.
Robbin' Hoods -- they steal from the poor and give to the rich
Agreed. Its a choice of laughter or losing your mind. Even when things aren't funny at all.
Yikes! Nice one!
We can thumb our nose at the president but few get to pick their nose looking at him.
This drives me so crazy. The crimes took place before he became president and in fact to influence voters so that they did not become aware of his payoffs so what exactly can he be immune for?
Exactly! And when in history has a media organization been held responsible for a jury's verdict? How can they prove that MTN unduly influenced the jury? The counterargument would be Fox forever claiming he was innocent. This is a preposterous and frivolous filing.

How can we help Zelenskyy to not give in to Trump and Putin and their threats. Stand with Ukraine.
I donated to the Ukraine government website yesterday. I went first to Ukraine Red Cross then found the government website. It has a picture of President Zelenskyy on the website. I donated then sent an email telling them how much I admire President Zelenskyy and that millions of Americans are behind them.
Can you share the link to the website?
To give directly to Ukraine: https://u24.gov.ua/
There is also this: https://www.razomforukraine.org//
To directly support troops: https://savelife.in.ua/en/
Thank you!
I found the u24 website through Ukraine Red Cross.
yes and it was easy to do. Great navigation.
Do not give to the Red Cross or through the Red Cross
See criticism of the Red Cross online.
Much of the money they receive is spent on huge management fees and salaries and donations are often wasted and not given to individuals for whom it is intended. Also, they charge individuals in desperate situations for water bottles or other necessities, in spite of large donations. I have seen them in action in several countries. A sad spectacle.
We knew how Red Cross had become shady after 9/11.
Red Cross has been scratched from my donation list since 2001/2002
My father, who fought in Europe in WW2, never liked the Red Cross. He said that the things people knitted to donate through the Red Cross were SOLD to the soldiers! I have never donated to the Red Cross because of that. I donated to other charities like the Salvation Army.
I did not know this.
Yeah... answer the question ⁉️
Thanks. I will look into this. May be like another charity I question.
What is wrong with the Ukraine Red Cross.........tell us please
Why not?
We found out after 9/11 the scam Red Cross has become. Anything else?

Very good Barbara
🤬😢🤬🎯🤬😢🤬 and right on 🎯
I sent a letter to Zelenskyy saying not to work with Trump/Putin and not give up the minerals. Find trustworthy democracy leaders to negotiate.

I think Zielinski’s already sent Trump a letter. He’s ready for peace.
Oh to not have Trump involved please.

Thanks for the sympathy we do need it.
But don't count the Americans out, not yet.
Be patient while we regroup.
Drumpf is using bully tactics, stand up for the truth over his lies.
