Thank you Ben 💙

One thing I’ve found fascinating about following politics is the staggering levels of corruption I never knew existed and how the oligarchs and Washington politicians give us just enough scraps to give a damn about anything, while making sure 1/3 of the country doesn’t vote out of apathy. Voting rights are restricted and the last president won because if misinformation. Lets not get screwed again!

Yes, it is amazing that this so-called swamp has always been around and now it’s 10 times worse. Everything that that orange turd is spewed out has been nothing but a confession to his own wrongdoing. And he’s been doing this for decades, but most of the nation didn’t see it.

Most of us are not at that level of wealth, we're just living our lives and making ends meet, or not - but it's out in the open now in a way we haven't seen before, flagrant, arrogant entitled, mocking, and Hungary pushed out Orban because of it. I just saw that the health care costs are about to hit even harder, and the imbalances between the corrupt wealthy and the rest of us will be more visible and blatant. May there be a huge blue tsunami in the mid-terms!

I joined Meidas in part because I want to know that other people are angry about the lies, the corruption, and absolute lack of morality in this administration. Thanks for always showing us the receipts.

Am I the only one who thinks that by alienating our allies, destroying our military, our economy, and our institutions that the US is being prepared for a foreign invasion?

Jeannie's avatar

Once we've used all of our weapons for "no purpose" and we have "no fuel" the invasion will begin. T wants to destroy the US for personal revenge and to avoid going to jail. I have noticed that T is not going out of the US lately. Is that because he will be arrested by the International Criminal Court for his war crimes on Iran?

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

That's a strong possibility. Wouldn't that be great to see his orange fat ass arrested for war crimes?! 😃

At what point will numerous nations say that the US is too much of a threat to the World and join together to take any of a number of stances.

My sense is that Trump’s rush to built his grotesque gilded ballroom “dome” with a massive hi tech missile proof bunker underneath is because he fears for his life. He’s made enemies across the world.

Of course he could also be back- channeling with RUSSIA RUSSIAN RUSSIA, like he did at the beginning of his first administration, and they’re plotting to consolidate global control over resources, particularly oil, as well as all water access ie canals etc.

He’s declared multiple times recently that CUBA IS NEXT. And I think he still has Greenland and even Canada in his crosshairs.

He lives for REVENGE!

Nancy's avatar

I think this is a possibility. I have been thinking about it myself. Trump wants the bunker to protect him from us when all this hits the fan.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I agree, Nancy. I've often thought that as well. He's not going to leave and he knows we'll all come for him. I can clearly see this happening.

Hit him where it hurts. Blow up Mara largo. Plow under his golf courses. Like a worm he’ll crawl out to mourn. We’ll get him then

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

That's a good idea, Candace. He would cry like a little baby.

Linda Harris's avatar

I think he is planning to stay there no matter what happens in 2026 or 2028. He will probably have to be physically removed. That is why there is a rush to build it. Who builds a $400 million ballroom/bunker and then leaves?

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I agree. I've been saying this since the orange fat ass was re-elected. He is not going to leave. He's going to hide in that bunker with armed guards that are loyal to him. Nobody will remove him physically because they won't be able to get to him.

RMW's avatar

Food, water, electricity, and ventilation are all needed to sustain life in the bunker. Those things are easily restricted from outside the bunker. That will chase them out. Especially since there will be massive amounts of heat generated by all the military computer equipment in the bunker that need water and air to cool.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Those are very good and valid points. I didn't think about that. You're good!

rump gets kick-backs and graft on every$ spent or allocated for construction- complicated and corrupt

Joanna Crandell's avatar

I agree that the bunker disguised as a ballroom is the mark of a dictator who realizes he is losing. My worry is that as his health worsens he will become more Jim Jones-ish and feel it all has to come to an end because he is dying. But I am an Olympic-level worrier!

RMW's avatar

I'll supply the Kool-Aid!

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

You took my line!! 😂

Joanna Crandell's avatar

I don’t think Americans should worry about the US being invaded. But Cuba, Canada and Greenland are being described as socialist/Communist enemies or essential for American national security to distract from high prices, Iran and the Epstein files. 100% of Cubans and Greenlanders and 50% of Canadians think Trump will invade their country.

Peyton H.'s avatar

I think the bunker comes from his massive ego. As "Ruler of the World" of course he needs a big hidden underground headquarters he can "command" from as the whole world goes to shit.

Dee Cee's avatar

Consider that he's building the bunker so that when he drops a nuke, he'll survive the retaliatory attack.

Mimi L's avatar

Drumph spoke with Putin many times when Biden won. I think drumph wants to stay in power for a third term. And he and Putin, along with other totalitarian regimes, want world domination! Drumph is a narcissistic, evil, corrupt pedophile and many powerful people are in the Epstein files or they have proof of wrongdoing in one way or another.

Seriously now would be the best time for an invasion of America , when our armies have been withdrawn from Europe ,our weapons have been depleted and our leader is so easily manipulated. Never mind that Hegseth is just itching to resume battle to fulfill his demonic desire for military engagement .

Not surprising as rumps an allies of putin and a Russian assett for years! He really needs to be charged with TREASON!

You are not alone with that thinking.

Not even close. Getting rid of all our experts on cyber spying & protection? But the U.S. is a formidable for ever w/ the subterfuge being practiced on us by our own gov't. Our chief liability is the apathy & ignorance of the populace.

Watching him practically elbow the King and Queen of England out of the way so he could shake hands with his own cabinet ahead of the royals like he's never met his cabnet before (or like a dog peeing on a fire hydrant?) - and he jumped in front of them twice - the man has several screws loose and his brain is about to fall out through his ears or his mouth. He certainly isn't capable of making any "plans" with world powers to stay in office. He can't even figure out how to do diplomacy to stop his war. He THINKS something is "up", but he is seriously deluded and, to coin one of his favorite phrases, "everybody knows it." So who's his mastermind?

Cynthia Heness's avatar

It worries me on a daily basis. Every time he alienated another ally I have thought "is he setting us up for Russia?"

Whenever the crooked corrupt trumps get scared, they sue.

Linda Harris's avatar

I don't think they have won that many cases. Didn't CBS and ABC capitulate? They just want to use these high price suits to make people back down. But, now it is backfiring; like melanoma's suit against Michael Wolff when he countersued and she is now open for discovery and is hiding from him and his attorneys. They will huff and puff but the minute Meidas Touch says fine bring it on and we'll go to discovery, they will back down.

Danny Hellyar's avatar

And any one who ever looked into his past knew that this has always been his MO. Thankful for people like Ben and his team to keep us informed and patriots like Marc Elias and many others fighting the Orange clown in the courts, now if we could just get him to abide by their decisions.

I appreciate all you do Ben. I am 70 and I find myself crying most days for the country I grew up in, I learned to drive in, I sang played guitar at the beach and I had a good circle of friends. Most are gone now and life is empty and filled with such vile people. There are days I just stay in bed. I thought I’d retire in a good and safe way but it’s not like that with no one left. It’s just darkness and loneliness combined with a country I don’t recognize. I have my music, the best in the past 70 years but they shoulder so many memories. I wanted to thank you and bros for all you do. Been watching since e the beginning and appreciate all you’ve done. Your parents must be proud. Slainté

Thank you for your thoughts, feelings—many match my own memories💝

NEVER SURRENDER! We are all in this charge!

Metroman's avatar

Stay strong Stell, I feel your pain. I’m 63 soon going on 22. And I have to because like you say, we don’t know how much longer this is going to last and so I have decided to not retire early and keep working because the elite, who are behind all this chaos are the ones feeding the diaper wearing orange clown and his kids. And they would all just like to end the social services altogether. Services that we have all paid into our entire lives. And for what so some narcissistic pedophile who’s protecting himself in the arrested, the elites from going to prison. So hang in there, it’s gonna be a long fight this year.

Thank you for what you do! I started listening to you when you were saying "let's get to 3 million subscribers" and now you've doubled and going for 7 million! So glad I found you, and this was from a suggestion of a friend.

Parker Palmer's May 1 Substack defined MAGA as Make America Grieve Again. My essay on the collective grief we are experiencing in our country and globally will be published tomorrow. The damage Trump & his Cartel have done goes deep into our psyches. Thank you, Meidas team, for the work you are doing.

Adam Mockler did an excellent job on Scott Jennings. I am so tired of Scott Jennings’ sanctimonious attitude.
