I’m searching for words to say how grateful- appreciative—admiring— encouraged- WITH YOU - I am. You’re performing a soaring service for Americans—indeed for the rest of the world.
Ruthy, I was thinking the same thing except my version had a few (actually ALOT) more curse words and one long-ass sigh.
What Ben and the Meidas crew just laid out here? It’s the kind of story that, five years ago, would’ve broken the internet and triggered congressional hearings. Now we read it with coffee. A former president’s DOJ just spent two freakin days meeting with a convicted child sex trafficker and walked out giving her immunity like she’s a whistleblower? The same Ghislaine he “wished well” during a pandemic presser. The same Epstein associate the WSJ says is tied to 300GB of sealed DOJ files with Trump’s name all over them.
And the media? Still trying to decide if the real story is…windmills or the Washington Commanders.
Appreciate Meidas staying on it like freakin pit bulls man. Some of us are also out here tracing the same madness from a slightly different angle and connecting the dots they still won’t touch on cable. (They say not to self-promote in someone else’s house, so *cough* I’ll just say… I’m around here somewhere if you’re curious. 👀)
Either way, this matters. Ruthy’s right. Y’all are shifting history while the networks chase noise.
"I Called Everyone in Jeffrey Epstein’s Little Black Book: What I learned about rich people, conspiracy, “genius,” Ghislaine, stand-up comedy, and evil from 2,000 phone calls."
I was just about to post this… and everyone needs to see it! I think Leland Nally should get a Pulitzer Prize for what he did! I sure hope he opens a Substack page!
“Now we read it with coffee.” So true that we can read factual unvarnished news here anytime, all the time and feel confident.
THANK YOU Meiselas brothers for your genius and your Very Hard Work staying ahead of all the rest - including MSM which has strayed and lost their way.
Only when I went to write your name, Xplisset, and sounded it out did I realize how great/clever/cool it was!!! I would be happy to hear your ideas anytime. And your last line nails it!: “Y’all are shifting history while the networks chase noise.”
That last line you quoted…“Y’all are shifting history while the networks chase noise”
You saw it exactly how I meant it. Not as flattery. As a freakin’ map.
So thank you. For the affirmation. For showing me this space has ears that listen and hearts that respond. I’ve got more ideas. More dots to connect. And now I know exactly who I’m talking to.
Oh, yay. Simply yay. I reach out, fearing I’m being inappropriate —we are all in our little boxes— but Ben’s ferocity calls on something on me and I say what I’m thinking - and you hear me. ❤️TO BE CONTINUED!!!
You just made me laugh, thank you! I'm all up in my head, trying to think of an idea that could get fellow Americans to see how MAD this all is--and I see your post. I think that is part of it, we all feel so INVISIBLE. I'm an 81 year old woman, I feel invisible most of the time (!!!) and to see that I'm not, made me feel energized. I'm going to carry out one of my ideas, today. Thanks!!!
Great explanation of the MAGA acronym. From a standpoint of structural symmetry, may I suggest “assholes” for the “A”? The other three are all nouns and abhorrent, although accurate, is an adjective. Merely a stylistic suggestion, not a substantive point.
Funny - obviously a wordsmith. I think Rebecca got the message across. After all, isn't that what we're all trying to do? But yes, I love words too and you're right. Go all of you. Its refreshing from where Im standing:)
She certainly did. I am a language lover and was just having a little fun with the words. But if I sounded in any way critical or (even worse) condescending, that was not my intent and I apologize.
PEDO party. Sounds right. Guilt by association is a powerful thing. Anyone in politics who thinks they have a future longer than 4 years ought to find a new platform.
So often I’m left speechless by the depravity. Like this recent Ghislaine Maxwell thing where all of a sudden, any moral compass is out the window- and it feels like we’re all trapped in the small meanness of Trump’s mind, America’s ideals gone— and then I listen to you and you ground me. You’re doing a real service.
America's ideals (as well as those of most religions) are gone only in the GOP, especially the entire GOP Congress and we need to start putting pressure on mainstream media to say that.
Yes and we have to somehow get the mainstream media to find some morals and start reporting this (as well as the lies trump is saying about trade deals, and that consumers don't pay the tariffs).
That "somehow" is a mystery to me at this point because they all seem to be getting on their knees for the regime, and only here on Meidas and other indy media do people dare to tell the truth, but I agree we must at least keep trying to get the mainstream media to do their actual jobs.
The only thing I know to do is boycott ABC, CBS, NBC...all of their shows, not just the news. I don't know if that makes any difference or if the only thing that matters is the Neilson households. I don't know if there are lists of who the biggest advertisers are, and if so would it matter if we contacted them or do they too only care about the Neilson households. I actually never watch these stations anyway except Colbert, but I still have sent them notes saying I am no longer watching.
How dare he step off a plane in the UK and immediately start lecturing us about migration and windmills!! They’re turbines you halfwit and it’s about climate change you know the sort of thing that results in 100s of your citizens dying in Texas. The arrogance of this orange pervert.
I totally agree!!! We have a moronic moron in our country who is destroying it!! Because we have a menagerie of people in our country, there is so much hate, division and turmoil here, racism runs rampant and it’s all in the nasty head of the moron. How dare he try to lecture another country when he’s destroying his own country!! I’m waiting on people in charge in our country to get a spine and get rid of a Dictator wannabe by voting, so our country can heal. He’s disgusting, dispicable and destructive. I had to vent, it just gets to be too much. Blessings to you.
I don't think the GOP Congress will ever get a spine but hopefully we will have elections and they will be voted out. We don't need to get very many of them voted out to make a big difference.
I think we in America have finally reached the same conclusion you have (at least a majority, even if a small majority) but as you know our problem is that the entire GOP Congress adores trump and will never hold him accountable, even if they don't think he makes good decisions, or says smart things, they still choose to support him 100%. I am gratified to see the rest of the world distancing themselves from America. Sad it has come to this, but gratified that there still are millions of folks who believe in democracy (the EU plus UK have more citizens than the US) and things like science, addressing climate change and caring for not just one another but others all over the world who need help. Please stay strong and keep up the good work!
I just read this in the independent newspaper Texas Tribune Weekly Brief;
Quote - President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill drastically shortened the timeline for wind and solar projects to qualify for tax credits. Because of that, along with other economic uncertainty, economists expect the development of solar and wind farms nationwide will slow in the coming decade. That means power bills in Texas, where those industries have boomed and power demand is rising, are likely to get more expensive. Unquote
It also means that other countries will take the lead in clean energy. China in particular is heavily invested. The data centers Trump so desperately wants developed here require substantial amounts of energy to operate. Our present infrastructure cannot support it. Green energy is providing a double digit percentage of our power now and would have continued to increase but now is stifled. Trump's war on green energy, love of dirty fossil fuels, and deregulation in regard to safeguarding clean water and air is taking us back to the dark ages, literally, in so many ways.
I think we already know. What bothers me is that the mainsteam media refuses to report on the GOP's support of trump and maxwell in all of this. I expect it of CBS now but still have hopes that maybe ABC or NBC will have the courage and integrity and dose of morals to hold them accountable and advise the American people. It is not just trump, maxwell and bondi who continue to victimize Epstein's victims but the entire GOP Congress, including Susan Collins who I imagine finds it concerning, but still ok.
ABC is owned by Disney. My local news is one big commercial. They have already paid him off for some imaginary slight. I’ve always trusted PBS, but lately they’ve had more “cheerful” Rs on lately and allowed them to bloviate for way longer than usual. My local NPR is just raising more money-which Philly can afford, but other places can’t. I’ve been watching NBC and MSNBC. Local news is less sensational and commercial. Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell are great, within the constraints of TV. 👹
I haven't watched local news, or actually any news for year. This has not been any kind of rational decision, I'm just never in the house when the news is on. But when I used to watch local stuff it seems to me that local news is hardly news, not even local....if you take out the weather, the sports, a feel good story, there isn't much time for reporting and even less for investigative reporting.
I don't see how satan's bedfellow could pull that off. That part of his base (to whom he PROMISED repeatedly to release the files & who seem genuinely outraged by child abuse) would freak out.
Make America more in line with your values, make sure laws are fair, etc. Its a new opportunity to create the America you all want. Everyone does it together. White Nationalists are creating their own "whites only" community. They took advantage of the upheaval why can't the rest create an America that is better, neither rascist nor misogynistic. It could be about respect and enough smart people to figure out the financial stuff. This might not be the end. It could be the beginning of something better. Trump showed most people what they don't want. That's the only good thing that has come out of this nightmare. It will eventually end.
We need people to come together across North America and form one huge-ass LABOR UNION! Just think of the strength we would have, I’m talking Mexico, US, and CANADA… all of us in the middle doing the work … being recognized.
Call out to all School Bus drivers around the world........I have commited my life to protect childen from harm. I now further my commitment to the annialation and destruction of Donald Trump and his pedophile hords of demons!!! I urge all School Bus drivers to work 24/7 to crush the "G-rand O-d P-edophle" shitstain on humanity.
Thank you for standing against pedophiles!!! Seems a silly thing to have to say, but the entire GOP Congress supports them and now we have to thank and congratulate those who oppose sexual abuse.
We all knew this would happen. I’m still waiting for the removal of Trump and his ridiculous administration!!!! Remember folks. Our country is run by Oligarchs. Also, never underestimate Trump. I’m sure he is working on voter suppression. Most Democrats, if not all, are receiving incredible amounts of money from lobbyists like AIPAC (Israel’s lobbyist). Some of these lobbyists work out of our Congress people’s offices!!! This is why nothing gets done for people. How many times has anyone mentioned stricter gun laws, raising the minimum wage, Healthcare for all. To me, Bernie Sanders was our last chance for a decent presidency. However, because he wanted money removed from politics his chances were sabotaged, and by his own party!!! I have no faith in the Democratic Party anymore. Did you know that Hakeem Jeffries received over a million dollars from AIPAC? My representative in Florida, Lois Frankel, received over $650,000.00. Lois and people in her office say they are pro-Israel. I’m a Jew. However, I don’t close my eyes to the horrors that go on in Gaza. I spoke to people in her office. This woman kept bringing up Oct. 7th. That was almost a year ago. Israel has killed so many Palestinians since then. People are being starved to death right now. They have bombed many hospitals and schools and homes. I’m sorry!! I will not support people who do nothing about this. Netanyahu is a war criminal and Trump is an idiot to support him. So who will take Trumps place? Who will the Oligarchs support? We are all in Gods hands!!
One good thing though, AOC never took a penny from those lobbyists. She should run for President and leader of the Democratic Party today. Her running mate should be Bernie Sanders. What a powerful team they would make. Nobody can beat them!
Bernie is too old to be there. We need fresh blood. We need people with a moral compass and a strong personality aimed at doing good for all of the people. We need someone who knows and understands the Constitution and won't bow down to petty whims, extortion, and bullies. We need younger people to carry the torch while we build the America that we have the potential to be. One where it does not matter your color or gender identity, what matters is that you want the best for all people and you want the country to live up to the ideals that we all once had. Enough with "leaders" who are misogynistic and racist and anti others. Enough with the rhetoric designed to keep us pointing fingers at one another while the rich fleece us and the country.
If you read the Bible you'd think that young (and old for that matter) church attendees would be on the front line of standing up for morality and integrity and all that love one another, feed the hungry, welcome the stranger, give up all you have an follow me stuff. Instead the evangelical churches are leading the charge to get us to be a godless nation with no moral compass....strange but true.
Why Not AOC? She's honest, savvy and definitely not easy to bulldoze over by the elite in Washington. I say her for the top job because of Bernies age. Not that I don't think he's up to it because I do but I don't think the electorate want anymore old men. Whereas he would be an excellent righthand man for Cortez.
I don’t really know AOC that well. Don’t get me wrong!! I like that she and Bernie went to different areas of the country to warn about the Oligarchs. I love her for that. When AOC was first in Congress she was part of the “squad”. According to my sister, AOC had made big promises which she didn’t keep. I think Pelosi was in charge at the time and it seemed that AOC had to lay low. I wasn’t that involved in politics at the time. It was when Bernie ran for President. I had just started getting interested in politics.
Okay Sheila, I get your point. Yet can you not see that many younger people are interested in politics like they never were when I was their age. The fact that you are young should not be a barrier anymore. I love Pelosi too, she is/was an effective leader but where has either her or Chuck Schumer been these past months? Their silence looks like they don't give a damn! They've been stymied because "politicking" ain't like it was in their day. if AOC/Sanders weren't able to do anything of significance it's because the old-timers wouldn't allow it. So that's why they hit the road together. They wanted people to be aware of the extremism of Trumps Republican Party. Who by the way aren't really republicans anymore they are simply an arm of the MAGA movement who are to afraid to buck trumps system of governance. That's just my opinion.
To be fair, when campaigning, people are either telling you what you want to hear OR they have ideals they would like to have in place. With our system of government, it is very difficult to be able to follow through on many things due to being blocked by the opposition or not being able to push things through due to the sheer weight of the bureaucracy. That is why so many things need to start at the local level. Small changes locally can add up to changes everywhere if the right notice is taken of the positive effects of those changes on a community. Sometimes when people run for office, they make the promises of things they would like to do and see but, once there, they realize just how impossible carrying out some of those things will be in the current state of the system.
He certainly is not suffering in the eyes of the GOP Congress who continue to support him 100%. A recent poll, for what it's worth, did show his support among Independents has greatly decreased, and it might be said his support there is spiraling. He sure is spiraling in the eyes of world leaders....I guess...I don't know if he can get any lower.
It’s so enraging that he’s buying Maxwells silence with a pardon. What a bunch of slimy people to be bargaining with sex traffickers and pedi files. It’s sickening! 🤮
I’m really loving the medias mighty, and every other fearless independent journalist and late night comedians that aren’t afraid. You are fearlessly holding this regimes feet to the fire while corporate media capitulates and cowers at their feet! You give us the strength to keep pushing and fighting for the America that we deserve and one that will benefit everyone and not a handful of billionaires! Keep going, we’ve got your back!!
I don't know if the folks that own the networks care about the viewership for their news shows is declining but we need to let them know the reason we no longer watch is because of their refusal to hold anyone accountable, they refuse to tell the American people the truth...well the whole truth. Yes, trump did say he made a deal with Japan. That's the truth.. but the rest of the truth is that Japan says there is not official deal, and that what trump says is in the "deal" is not what they say is in the "deal" and even the "deal" trump talks about will actually hurt Americans more than the folks in Japan.
I hope the Scottish press pounds him with truth and therefore unflattering, embarrassing comment that show tRump for the vile thing he is. I hope the Scotts boycott is resort. No one shows up to work and no one books a tee time.
I’m searching for words to say how grateful- appreciative—admiring— encouraged- WITH YOU - I am. You’re performing a soaring service for Americans—indeed for the rest of the world.
Ruthy, I was thinking the same thing except my version had a few (actually ALOT) more curse words and one long-ass sigh.
What Ben and the Meidas crew just laid out here? It’s the kind of story that, five years ago, would’ve broken the internet and triggered congressional hearings. Now we read it with coffee. A former president’s DOJ just spent two freakin days meeting with a convicted child sex trafficker and walked out giving her immunity like she’s a whistleblower? The same Ghislaine he “wished well” during a pandemic presser. The same Epstein associate the WSJ says is tied to 300GB of sealed DOJ files with Trump’s name all over them.
And the media? Still trying to decide if the real story is…windmills or the Washington Commanders.
Appreciate Meidas staying on it like freakin pit bulls man. Some of us are also out here tracing the same madness from a slightly different angle and connecting the dots they still won’t touch on cable. (They say not to self-promote in someone else’s house, so *cough* I’ll just say… I’m around here somewhere if you’re curious. 👀)
Either way, this matters. Ruthy’s right. Y’all are shifting history while the networks chase noise.

Long article, but worth the read.

I was just about to post this… and everyone needs to see it! I think Leland Nally should get a Pulitzer Prize for what he did! I sure hope he opens a Substack page!
NYT is a scammer don’t hit the link. Reported and blocked.
Read it. Fascinating! Thanks for sharing.
“Now we read it with coffee.” So true that we can read factual unvarnished news here anytime, all the time and feel confident.
THANK YOU Meiselas brothers for your genius and your Very Hard Work staying ahead of all the rest - including MSM which has strayed and lost their way.
“Like frickin bull dogs”!!!
Keep up the good fight.
Only when I went to write your name, Xplisset, and sounded it out did I realize how great/clever/cool it was!!! I would be happy to hear your ideas anytime. And your last line nails it!: “Y’all are shifting history while the networks chase noise.”
Ruthy, this means more than you know.
That last line you quoted…“Y’all are shifting history while the networks chase noise”
You saw it exactly how I meant it. Not as flattery. As a freakin’ map.
So thank you. For the affirmation. For showing me this space has ears that listen and hearts that respond. I’ve got more ideas. More dots to connect. And now I know exactly who I’m talking to.
Well said, Ruthy. Clearly stated (not everyone takes the time to do that) and to the point.
Who can possibly disagree? Thank you Ben and Meidas!
I couldn’t agree more! Thank you, Ben, Jordy and Brett for your strength, intellect and courage.
yes, and for the rest of the world, so think of explaining accronyms, unknown outside of the US.
Thanks.
Would be helpful. It's like us using ours on you. We get it but just now and then a reminder?
so let’s start: what does AF stand for in “legal AF” ??
Legal Analysis Friends- a Meidas Touch offering
I thought it meant Legal as Fuck.
Same.
Ditto, Ruth Wexler❤️
Agreed. Thank you Ben and team!!!!!!
Oh, yay. Simply yay. I reach out, fearing I’m being inappropriate —we are all in our little boxes— but Ben’s ferocity calls on something on me and I say what I’m thinking - and you hear me. ❤️TO BE CONTINUED!!!
@Ruthy Wexler -Amen!
You just made me laugh, thank you! I'm all up in my head, trying to think of an idea that could get fellow Americans to see how MAD this all is--and I see your post. I think that is part of it, we all feel so INVISIBLE. I'm an 81 year old woman, I feel invisible most of the time (!!!) and to see that I'm not, made me feel energized. I'm going to carry out one of my ideas, today. Thanks!!!
Yay, Ruthy! 🎉Thank you. 😇🙏
Any kind to Leslie Wexler

Yes, I was being ‘tongue in cheek’ kidding with you.
No worries! Whatever works! I just like to use words they might not comprehend!
He he. That's brill. Okay Rebecca needs to run too.. For president.
l can’t and really l wouldn’t want to! 😁
Shhhhhh!!!!!!! Don’t tell the pervs and the pedos we’ve figured out how to recognize them.
The "PPP". Pedo Protection Party.
yup!!!! that works
I am going to use that on a sign!!
🤣🤣🤣
Chris for president - like your style my friend. Yup, call a spade a spade as they say here in Aotearoa (NZ)
PEDO party. Sounds right. Guilt by association is a powerful thing. Anyone in politics who thinks they have a future longer than 4 years ought to find a new platform.
😁They hold PaP rallies!
GOP. "Gang of Pedophiles"
American Fascist Party
That's telling the truth - and if the shoe fits as well as it does,
you're going to need some cushion socks for your bumpy ride!
American Fascist Child Rapist Party
I saw somewhere else this morning, GOP: Guardians Of Pedophiles.
Allegedly. Be very careful of your wording. Mr. Cankles will throw you in Alligator Alcatraz without Due Process. 😎
OMG that’s perfect. Let’s start making signs. 🪧
That too
Perfect acronym!
Well-said...

I was thinking the Twilight Zone
America's ideals (as well as those of most religions) are gone only in the GOP, especially the entire GOP Congress and we need to start putting pressure on mainstream media to say that.

Yes, and the Republicans are trying to reframe the entire story. We cannot let them turn George Orwell from fiction to fact. Keep it up, Meidas!

Did you know that Hakeem Jeffries received over a million dollars from AIPAC? My representative in Florida, Lois Frankel, received over $650,000.00. Lois and people in her office say they are pro-Israel. I’m a Jew. However, I don’t close my eyes to the horrors that go on in Gaza. I spoke to people in her office. This woman kept bringing up Oct. 7th. That was almost a year ago. Israel has killed so many Palestinians since then. People are being starved to death right now. They have bombed many hospitals and schools and homes. I’m sorry!! I will not support people who do nothing about this. Netanyahu is a war criminal and Trump is an idiot to support him. So who will take Trumps place? Who will the Oligarchs support? We are all in Gods hands!!
One good thing though, AOC never took a penny from those lobbyists. She should run for President and leader of the Democratic Party today. Her running mate should be Bernie Sanders. What a powerful team they would make. Nobody can beat them!
I also didn’t know that AOC didn’t take money. Kudos to her. That gains my respect!!!
I don’t know about AOC, but Bernie? YES!!!!!!! I would love to see Bernie in the Whitehouse!!!!!!
Bernie is too old to be there. We need fresh blood. We need people with a moral compass and a strong personality aimed at doing good for all of the people. We need someone who knows and understands the Constitution and won't bow down to petty whims, extortion, and bullies. We need younger people to carry the torch while we build the America that we have the potential to be. One where it does not matter your color or gender identity, what matters is that you want the best for all people and you want the country to live up to the ideals that we all once had. Enough with "leaders" who are misogynistic and racist and anti others. Enough with the rhetoric designed to keep us pointing fingers at one another while the rich fleece us and the country.
If you read the Bible you'd think that young (and old for that matter) church attendees would be on the front line of standing up for morality and integrity and all that love one another, feed the hungry, welcome the stranger, give up all you have an follow me stuff. Instead the evangelical churches are leading the charge to get us to be a godless nation with no moral compass....strange but true.
Yeah well god isn't in their ACTIONS obviously. Their words are as empty as their feelings for their fellow man.
I agree but who? If I was religious I'd say that's gods job but as I'm not AOC is a good candidate in my book
Why Not AOC? She's honest, savvy and definitely not easy to bulldoze over by the elite in Washington. I say her for the top job because of Bernies age. Not that I don't think he's up to it because I do but I don't think the electorate want anymore old men. Whereas he would be an excellent righthand man for Cortez.
I don’t really know AOC that well. Don’t get me wrong!! I like that she and Bernie went to different areas of the country to warn about the Oligarchs. I love her for that. When AOC was first in Congress she was part of the “squad”. According to my sister, AOC had made big promises which she didn’t keep. I think Pelosi was in charge at the time and it seemed that AOC had to lay low. I wasn’t that involved in politics at the time. It was when Bernie ran for President. I had just started getting interested in politics.
Okay Sheila, I get your point. Yet can you not see that many younger people are interested in politics like they never were when I was their age. The fact that you are young should not be a barrier anymore. I love Pelosi too, she is/was an effective leader but where has either her or Chuck Schumer been these past months? Their silence looks like they don't give a damn! They've been stymied because "politicking" ain't like it was in their day. if AOC/Sanders weren't able to do anything of significance it's because the old-timers wouldn't allow it. So that's why they hit the road together. They wanted people to be aware of the extremism of Trumps Republican Party. Who by the way aren't really republicans anymore they are simply an arm of the MAGA movement who are to afraid to buck trumps system of governance. That's just my opinion.
To be fair, when campaigning, people are either telling you what you want to hear OR they have ideals they would like to have in place. With our system of government, it is very difficult to be able to follow through on many things due to being blocked by the opposition or not being able to push things through due to the sheer weight of the bureaucracy. That is why so many things need to start at the local level. Small changes locally can add up to changes everywhere if the right notice is taken of the positive effects of those changes on a community. Sometimes when people run for office, they make the promises of things they would like to do and see but, once there, they realize just how impossible carrying out some of those things will be in the current state of the system.
Small, incremental changes at the local level -- that's how the fascist forces became ascendant.

So true. 🤢
Ok but I don’t see where he is “suffering and spiraling”.
He certainly is not suffering in the eyes of the GOP Congress who continue to support him 100%. A recent poll, for what it's worth, did show his support among Independents has greatly decreased, and it might be said his support there is spiraling. He sure is spiraling in the eyes of world leaders....I guess...I don't know if he can get any lower.
Stay strong and stay blue! Thank you MTN, for all you do!!!!
It’s so enraging that he’s buying Maxwells silence with a pardon. What a bunch of slimy people to be bargaining with sex traffickers and pedi files. It’s sickening! 🤮
Yes, slimy people, not just trump but the entire GOP Congress.
I’m really loving the medias mighty, and every other fearless independent journalist and late night comedians that aren’t afraid. You are fearlessly holding this regimes feet to the fire while corporate media capitulates and cowers at their feet! You give us the strength to keep pushing and fighting for the America that we deserve and one that will benefit everyone and not a handful of billionaires! Keep going, we’ve got your back!!
I don't know if the folks that own the networks care about the viewership for their news shows is declining but we need to let them know the reason we no longer watch is because of their refusal to hold anyone accountable, they refuse to tell the American people the truth...well the whole truth. Yes, trump did say he made a deal with Japan. That's the truth.. but the rest of the truth is that Japan says there is not official deal, and that what trump says is in the "deal" is not what they say is in the "deal" and even the "deal" trump talks about will actually hurt Americans more than the folks in Japan.
I hope the Scottish press pounds him with truth and therefore unflattering, embarrassing comment that show tRump for the vile thing he is. I hope the Scotts boycott is resort. No one shows up to work and no one books a tee time.
