What’s wrong with the democrats? Where are they? What are they doing? Apart from 83 year old Bernie Sanders they don’t seem to be making much noise. Something’s gotta give. This outrageous Orange creature has to be stopped.
The people need to respond with economic pressure- protests alone wont move the corporations and oligarchs to withdraw their support from Trump/Republicans.
Is this news???? That has been the situation for 75 years. Democrats get together for lunch on patio. play a couple couple rounds of golf, a few rubbers of bridge and talk about things,,, while Rome burns and the lazy susan is delivered. If they are really filled with angst,,, they do downtown and buy three pull over cashmere sweaters ,roast and some Cascade soap
Extremely frightening because that's what Trump is doing now--has been and will do. Even though the Psycho is "Commander-in Chief" (Oh, dear God, how it hurts me to say that......), the MILITARY has to defy the Deranged Dingbat if he authorizes it to arrest our citizens and put them in jail for defying--or saying anything little against him. If Dump isn't going to "obey" the separation of powers, neither should they. Definitely should not obey a traitor, mentally-challenged guy who sits in the Oval Office.
We need business owners and corporations offering jobs to those currently in the military that conscientiously object to actions against their fellow citizens - which is unconstitutional.
It's SPAM indeed. And you find it on many Substacks. Asking to delete it doesn't help, we need to click on the three dots next to it and then on the red "report" button.
No, you don't need to use the app. Just click on the three points, then on the red "report", and then report to MTN (not Substack itself). By now, MTN already received my report and removed the comment, so perhaps that's why you cannot report it yourself anymore... ?
1. The other day I posted that the US and El Salvador have an extradition treaty and that SCOTUS could have issued a writ of mandamus to Trump/Rubio to extradite him -- but didn't.
I don't know whether the judge was asked to enter an order of mandamus.
A writ of mandamus is a court order compelling a lower court, government official, or agency to perform a specific act that they are legally obligated to do. It's used when there's no other adequate legal remedy to force compliance with a clear legal duty. In essence, it's a way to ensure that those in authority follow the law and fulfill their official duties.
2. Yesterday, Cody Balmer, Harrisburg, Pa celebrated Passover by firebombing his Jewish governor. Passover is the holiday that Jews comemorate freedom from slavery.
THAT SHOULD BE BIG NEWS.
Please remember the 11 dead at Tree of Life Synagogue, Pittsburgh, 2018.
Thank you for the information. My son in law is in Israel right now for Passover. He has dual citizenship. He sent a short video of the sirens going off as he stood behind a gated metal window. He said this is normal in Israel. And then I see the attack on Gov. Shapiro. This CAN’T become “normal” in America. I am no longer sure my SIL is safe in either country.
Unfortunately has become a world prairah with there immoral grift and betrayal of democratic values. No man or country an island and self delusion at its finest to believe can grow without rest of world sharing growth. They actually shoot foot off even more as former friends trade with enemies more to avoid states,oz gas and meat to China to leave states to eat there fatty contaminated by pesticides beef no one wants and cancellation of many important defence purchases to be replaced by EU hard wear. A lose lose situation for don and his bunch of losers who should be in a traveling circus and not in congress.
In a hell hole in which hundreds die of natural causes, every day he kept there drastically lowers his life expectancy. Normally such an important foreign meeting get something easy like a release done in thirty seconds but while they wallow in there luxury and debauchery compliments of the American taxpayer sure his welfare not even cared about as two bullies reminisce about how can torture more innocent people who should not be there in the first place.
He could already be dead. And if he was at risk and here for political asylum, his days are numbered not only because of the numbers of enemies he is likely locked up with, but because El S government will want to disappear him, with the go-ahead by the limp dicktator who thinks bukele is cool. This is true insanity in the most evil and cruel form.

Yet it should be no surprise that trump's valet Supreme Court specifically worded their decision to allow admin more than enough wiggle room to exude sufficient slug-slime to slide out from under any requirement to act.
And with the Balmer incident, given what came out over the weekend that thanks to Smegseth's directive all that's left in the armed forces libraries are Mein Kampf & The Turner Diaries, we should expect Trump issuing full pardons to James Alex Fields, Dylan Root, & Payton Gendron.
The fact that the attack on Shapiro and his family isn't round the clock news is astounding. Legacy media played his "assassination" attempt over and over again, and he wasn't even hurt. Shapiro saved his family and guests. Unbelievable. Someone said Balmer is a registered Dem. Has he given an excuse yet?
I keep thinking either he is already dead or is so maimed and close to death that they fear the backlash they will get. Or they are terrified that Mr. Garcia will reveal just how horrible conditions are there if he is returned.
I also wonder if any of the news agencies will have the nerve to ask about him?? or do they know better than to ask or have they been told not to ask??
Twitler had a major meltdown about 60 Minutes, demanding “maximum fines and punishment” and that the FCC yank CBS and parent company Paramount’s licenses. Dude is completely out of control.
It's another stab at the Constitution. Notice that repubs will kick and scream about their 1st and 2nd Amendments rights (The only ones they know about), but now...crickets
Hopefully not literally. A feeble vengeful child in charge of the launch codes terrifying and believe would go as far as to nuke states who rightly turned against his illegal administration. All will come to a crunch if uses the military to shoot legitimate protestors and who to stop the next drastic step to nuke cities and states wear resistance and democracy runs strongly if decides to do his idols scorched earth policy.
Trump defies the Supreme Court! Where is the outrage? Where are the senators and representatives? What is the point of having a government with checks and balances? Trump is horrible but the people who stand behind him preening like peacocks should be ashamed to call themselves Americans. The silence from the legacy media is deafening.
Exactly! Numerous people keep telling me that members of our Congress are too scared for themselves and their families.
I’m sure they are being threatened as are other politicians, judges, lawyers, and the truth speakers in independent media. And no one wants someone to take a hammer to their loved one’s head, or having their child shot and killed when answering the door.
History tells us what happens when people don’t stand up and speak up. What kind of future will our children and grandchildren have if we remain meek and scared?
I don’t know Ben, Brett, or Jordan Meiselas but I pray for their safety and that of their families daily.
I have only been on Substack a few weeks. Look for some posts from me coming up. When introducing myself to a new doctor last summer, I told him I am a retired teacher. His reply was, “ Once a teacher; always a teacher.” I agree, and also know that when one teaches, two learn. Time for me to share.
I’m an 85 year old ex teacher and the need to help to educate people and to fulfill their potential is in my DNA. If I had the power to educate Trump Olin
We are outraged, but the legacy media is controlled by billionaires. Anderson Cooper is the poster child for it. Charlamagne the God called his ass out on air over treating Trump differently before the election and Anderson got all offended. Now he's doing puff pieces on butterflies while the country dies.
I’m a dual citizen living in the Netherlands and with all the clouds looming over the truth I’m very glad there still are people in the states that speak out and are not afraid of this regime! I hope and pray the pro democracy movement isn’t activated too late because I have the feeling things could get very ugly! To me as a European citizen it’s very hard to watch people just using lies that are fed by the true fake media to justify all these draconian measures the trump regime tries to make! I make it a priority to share the meidas touch to all my family and friends in the US and the Netherlands to lay bare the blatant attacks on the very core of the American experiment! Everybody needs to open their eyes and ears to see what actually is going on and in this I am so grateful that you guys are on the front line of this battle! Keep up the good work and don’t get discouraged! We need to “fight, fight, fight” for truth and future generations! Thank you! SHOUT OUT TO THE MEIDAS MIGHTY 💪🏻🔥🤜🏻
I tell my friends to go to the protests. I’ve been to the first one. But they say it won’t make a difference. Please help me convince them otherwise. If the media is not covering him, who is watching? Other than those of us on here. I’m hoping all those in Congress are aware. They might get voted out.
Contact the Congressional Republicans if you can. Some of the House Republicans aren't available to people outside their districts, but I think the Senate is. Truly, someone at Meidas with the right legal background needs to give us a script about them defying courts, etc. and people need to call the GOP every single day. And Dems, but GOP because majority, etc.
Use every media outlet can to put pressure on senators for a recount. All great civilizations failed because the elite got to greedy and failed to fund those worse off who helped them get rich. Do not even want them to be hero's and donate extra but even if all billionaires pay a flat 50% tax to help the poor would no longer be a national debt in five years and they are doing the right thing to help country survive instead of being a parasite who wants to rob kids cancer research, and many other life saving events so they can bank an extra few trillion not need. It must return to the founding fathers original intentions that the rich have an obligation to help whenever and whoever can, not destroy by tax evasion.
I feel like Dem leaders like Jeffries need to be in the media more. I also think more need to go to the GOP areas and do town halls and hand out pamphlets on the Constitution and the real laws.
We are starting to drown in Canada. We need you to spread the word about Pierre Polioviere and how dangerous he is. He is also a fascist and aligned with Trump. We know that and yet so many are being brainwashed into hating the Liberals, just like Trump did. We need some help to ensure that Carney wins this election, with a majority. If not, we will be in the same boat as the US.
As a Canadian I agree that Pierre Poilievre is a very dangerous man, because he is fundamentally a clone of t-rump. But fortunately and as the polls show, the majority of Canadians don’t trust Poilievre and it is likely that Mark Carney and the Liberals will actually win a resounding victory.
Certainly we Canadians will NOT become America’s 51st state! 🇨🇦
What really like to see is an international peace keeping force who have to help America out before civil war breaks out. They could always use maro lago as a command centre with the ultimate insult to a white supremacist to have a non white backside sitting on his sacred golden toilet that he will never use again after contaminated by inferiors.
What has America become - knowingly allowing the incarceration of an innocent man in a hell hole - is that what America is all about? That could be anyone's son, brother, or father! The Trump regime is a disgusting pile of garbage and we need to fight to take America back. Great work Ben and all at MTN, go MTN, go MeidasMighty.
Josh Shapiro's home was fire bombed this weekend. A young man had been arrested. So many Dem lawyers, Judges, elected officials are having their lives threatened. Steven Millar is the reason for all of this. I want to see some brave Dems harass Steven Millar like he is helping to do to Dems. If my wishful thinking is against the rules, I apologize. But how much are the good people supposed to take? Steven Millar has to go!
Israel should know better after what happened to them in ww2 .Do not understand that a resurrection of a party that wanted to eliminate the jews can collaborate with them in there Gaza renovation dreams that will never work.
Maybe while discussing the attempted genocide in Israel? All Hamas needs to do to end this nightmare is to release the hostages, living and dead. For nearly 80 years now, every few years, Israel has been attacked by Muslims who want to push it into the sea. They have always lost. On Oct 7, Hamas invaded Israel, murdering 300 kids at a music festival, abducted 271, and then proceeded to move along the border, raping, torturing, and murdering over 1500 civilians. Hamas knew they could not begin to defeat Israel, but rightly believed they could manipulate the gullible public into supporting a radical Muslim terrorist organization. I think Netanyahu is an idiot. Like Trump, he did not receive the majority of the vote, but, for the past 20 years, Gazans have chosen Hamas to control their government. Sometimes you reap what you sow.
I hope every person who sat out the vote for Gaza feels like shit now. They counted on Dems to vote so they threw away their own to make a statement and make THEMSELVES feel better. When Trump was the alternative, the decision is selfish as hell.
Yes, agree. I support Palestine, and voted for Harris/Walz. Many of them are at it again, no politicians seem good enough. I guess they can afford Trump.?!
War sucks. That is why it is stupid to start one, just as it was stupid for Russia to invade Ukraine. Before withdrawing from Gaza in 2005, Israel built desalination plants, hospitals and schools in Gaza. Before Oct 7, 350,000 Gazans worked in Israel daily, making unimpeded trips across the border. I lived in a kibbutz that, at the time, was the last Israeli settlement before the border. We could not do the 5 minute walk to the Mediterranean to swim because kids had been shot doing so. We had to somehow go the 12 miles to Ashkelon where the IDF patrolled the beaches. We were not crossing into Gaza to randomly attack people there. Israeli Arabs were doing fine back then. There were Israeli Arabs all throughout the government, running businesses and sitting in the Knesset. From what I hear, all of that is gone now. I do not have an answer to this dilemma. I deeply regret the deaths in Gaza. However, as long as Gaza’s people elect a terrorist organization promising to extend Palestine from the Jordan river to the Mediterranean (all of Israel), I doubt there will be peace. BTW, I am neither Jewish nor Israeli. I am a Roman Catholic who, back in the early 70’s, was studying Biblical history. I spent a year hitchhiking around Europe and a trip to Israel seemed logical.
I think I have the same right you have to express opinions. I also think that if Hamas would release the remaining hostages, there would be a better chance of stopping this war. However, no matter what Hamas claims, there will never be a Palestine stretching from the Jordan river to the Mediterranean Sea. That is all of Israel. I still strongly believe that if you don’t want a war, don’t start one. You never answered my question about our response to Pearl Harbor. We certainly killed more civilians than Israel has, but, on the other hand, we saved a Hell of a lot of American soldiers.
Love the Utah turnout but population is 3.5m so 25k not more than 10 percent. Please make an effort not to exaggerate like MAGA. I have noticed that you tend to leave out context from time to time on other stories so please make an effort not to do that as it undermines your message.
It takes 3.5% to move a dictator, so they re afraid. Let's do that all over the country. Go Bernie & AOC! I cannot believe the Dems are letting an 83 year old man do their work...let more Dems get out there!
Ok. When all the others start fact checking the wanna be king hard and not purposely lying.,you make sense. Did you post the same message to Fox,X,FB,etc.
Ok, Beacons of truth and all that. Yup, really important that we know what is actually happening and you are doing that job well. Thanks very much. But, but, just knowing just showing up to protests that are otherwise unfocused has no actual power to move the needle. I would go so far as to say that Trump actually gets off on it. He loves it when we are out there protesting in our thousands and it has absolutely no effect on him. This is the demonstration of power that he craves.
So Instead of more of that let's talk about a plan. Let's make our protesting more purposeful. Senator E. Warren and others just introduced a bill in congress saying that there is and was no emergency of any sort. Therefore the assumption of emergency powers to set Tariffs from the executive branch is illegal and cannot be done. The sponsors of this bill need several, not many, but several representatives in both houses to cross the line and vote for this bill. This is a clear opportunity to make our protests focused. Let's not just protest in town somewhere. Let's not have random signs saying whatever. Let's focus and protest outside congressional offices. Let's tell them specifically that they must vote for this bill OR Simply they will be out of a job. Let's tell them that the biggest threat to their future is not being primaried by Musk it is being voted out by us because they didn't protect constitutional law and sacrificed the power of their office to a dictator.
Yeah let's do that.
And Ben you do say that you read all the posts. So what do you think? How about having Senator E. Warren back on and have her comment on focused protests. How about getting Senator B. Sanders to comment. How about using your platform to get specific and actually do stuff.? OR, if you really think I'm off the wall and or you have another plan let me know and I would love to get behind it because I really do think you are doing great work. I just don't understand the long or short term plan.
You are so right. Unfocused protests will not achieve much. There has to be a well organized and coordinated plan. Tyrants can be overthrown if the Will is strong enough. They did it in Romania 1989. The military supported the protesters and brought the dictator Ceausescu down.
It is a matter of reach. I am writing and talking to everyone I am in contact with. But that is numbered in double digits at most. Perhaps I’m not the kind of guy that just does well pursuing popularity. I have always believed that ideas should stand on their own, but the reality is personality plays a huge role. I object a little bit to your comment that I know better. Because actually what I’m saying is, I’m not seeing organized plans being discussed anywhere including in your answer to me. Senator Warren has an active plan in the presentation of her bill opposing emergency status however she’s been very clear that some people have to cross the aisle for the bill to pass.
I hear you. The powerful aren't listening. As usual. We are on a fast track to fascism. No one is listening, still. Meidas gets it. Don't shit on them. The power we need isn't helping. I just want to know why. ✌️
OK, rereading my first sentence I can see how you might think I was being negative about what midas touch is doing. That is certainly not my intent, I think they’re great and stepped in and became successful basically creating a whole arena that didn’t exist before for truth to get out. I do intend to question whether they need to get involved in planning though There has been some things that I read that indicated Ben is probably really good at that.
Thank you for being beacons of truth and shining the light on WE THE PEOPLE!💙

Do more that focuses on economics
Do more that focuses on economics
Knock it off, you dork. BOT ALERT!
I do agree with your there, Harris/Walz. Kim needs to do just that. It's very annoying. All those people who throw those "messages" in here are.
The Dictator Criminal Deranged Psycho Idiot Moron has it. He should look up your site. Doubt he will since he thinks he's just fine.
Extremely frightening because that's what Trump is doing now--has been and will do.

Normally such an important foreign meeting get something easy like a release done in thirty seconds but while they wallow in there luxury and debauchery compliments of the American taxpayer sure his welfare not even cared about as two bullies reminisce about how can torture more innocent people who should not be there in the first place.
The prison camps in countries like El Salvador rarely see inmates dying of "natural causes."
I don't consider severe dehydration & kidney failure due to that plus repeated blows to the kidneys as a, "natural cause."
Or death from blood loss due to multiple stab wounds.
Or starvation.
Those are not natural causes.
The people incarcerated are actually disappeared.
There is no accurate information available about who has died.
Unless the family members manage to bribe someone to give them their loved one's body.
My heart breaks for Mr. Abrego Garcia & his family.
I fear for his safety & survival.
Especially since he was deliberately housed with the gang that threatened him before he came to the US. 👹
He could already be dead. And if he was at risk and here for political asylum, his days are numbered not only because of the numbers of enemies he is likely locked up with, but because El S government will want to disappear him, with the go-ahead by the limp dicktator who thinks bukele is cool. This is true insanity in the most evil and cruel form.

I heard he was a Democrat, so is this over his view on Palestine or have they not said? Either way, awful and wrong and thank God they're all okay.
Religion is personal. I wish people would understand n respect n bow out!
At least drumpf can’t pardon him for state charges. 👹

As I said, they had mandamus authority and failed to use it. What were the 3 Dems on the court thinking?
That is, as used to be said, the $64 question.
real anti-semitism gets lost in all the fake anti-semitism put forward by KKK supremacists and wannabe billionaires.
Start with Herren Musk und Trump.
The fact that the attack on Shapiro and his family isn't round the clock news is astounding. Legacy media played his "assassination" attempt over and over again, and he wasn't even hurt. Shapiro saved his family and guests. Unbelievable. Someone said Balmer is a registered Dem. Has he given an excuse yet?
Shut the fuck up Danny Boy... Nobody fucking cares when a person starts by saying.."as i previously mentioned the other day..." You arrogant prick
Because Abrego Garcia is already DEAD.
I keep thinking either he is already dead or is so maimed and close to death that they fear the backlash they will get. Or they are terrified that Mr. Garcia will reveal just how horrible conditions are there if he is returned.
I also wonder if any of the news agencies will have the nerve to ask about him?? or do they know better than to ask or have they been told not to ask??
DOJ filed a certificate to the contrary.
Yes, and they are so reliable :-(
Get out there on Saturday for the 5051 protest near you. The resistance is gathering steam!
Ask Congressional Republicans to support removing Trump tariff authority.
https://www.grassley.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/trade_review_act.pdf
Ask them to remove him based on the 25th.
And then we'll have vance. There must be a method to remove trump, vance, and johnson simultaneously.
I wish. It just seems like nothing is going to break them. I can't believe the GOP silence on Garcia. History won't forget.

moment, but I share your post everywhere, in hopes others budgets can.
Norah- Nice, very nice.
The only main stream news outlet really going after Trump now is 60 minutes. Last week El Salvador. This week Ukraine and Greenland.
Twitler had a major meltdown about 60 Minutes, demanding “maximum fines and punishment” and that the FCC yank CBS and parent company Paramount’s licenses. Dude is completely out of control.

It's another stab at the Constitution. Notice that repubs will kick and scream about their 1st and 2nd Amendments rights (The only ones they know about), but now...crickets
Ugh. Friggin hypocrites.
For some reason I kept getting an error message, so I used a different browser. If you just put in huffpost.com, you can easily find it.
Thanks, Judi. The link works fine for me.
Thank you, MEIDASTOUCH for speaking the truth.
I’m with you 100% all the way till the end 💪🏽🇺🇸
Hopefully not literally. A feeble vengeful child in charge of the launch codes terrifying and believe would go as far as to nuke states who rightly turned against his illegal administration. All will come to a crunch if uses the military to shoot legitimate protestors and who to stop the next drastic step to nuke cities and states wear resistance and democracy runs strongly if decides to do his idols scorched earth policy.
Trump defies the Supreme Court! Where is the outrage? Where are the senators and representatives? What is the point of having a government with checks and balances? Trump is horrible but the people who stand behind him preening like peacocks should be ashamed to call themselves Americans. The silence from the legacy media is deafening.
Exactly! Numerous people keep telling me that members of our Congress are too scared for themselves and their families.
I’m sure they are being threatened as are other politicians, judges, lawyers, and the truth speakers in independent media. And no one wants someone to take a hammer to their loved one’s head, or having their child shot and killed when answering the door.
History tells us what happens when people don’t stand up and speak up. What kind of future will our children and grandchildren have if we remain meek and scared?
I don’t know Ben, Brett, or Jordan Meiselas but I pray for their safety and that of their families daily.
I have only been on Substack a few weeks. Look for some posts from me coming up. When introducing myself to a new doctor last summer, I told him I am a retired teacher. His reply was, “ Once a teacher; always a teacher.” I agree, and also know that when one teaches, two learn. Time for me to share.
I’m an 85 year old ex teacher and the need to help to educate people and to fulfill their potential is in my DNA. If I had the power to educate Trump Olin
We are outraged, but the legacy media is controlled by billionaires. Anderson Cooper is the poster child for it. Charlamagne the God called his ass out on air over treating Trump differently before the election and Anderson got all offended. Now he's doing puff pieces on butterflies while the country dies.
I’m a dual citizen living in the Netherlands and with all the clouds looming over the truth I’m very glad there still are people in the states that speak out and are not afraid of this regime! I hope and pray the pro democracy movement isn’t activated too late because I have the feeling things could get very ugly! To me as a European citizen it’s very hard to watch people just using lies that are fed by the true fake media to justify all these draconian measures the trump regime tries to make! I make it a priority to share the meidas touch to all my family and friends in the US and the Netherlands to lay bare the blatant attacks on the very core of the American experiment! Everybody needs to open their eyes and ears to see what actually is going on and in this I am so grateful that you guys are on the front line of this battle! Keep up the good work and don’t get discouraged! We need to “fight, fight, fight” for truth and future generations! Thank you! SHOUT OUT TO THE MEIDAS MIGHTY 💪🏻🔥🤜🏻
This Saturday…. April 19 Th . STAND UP FIGHT BACK ! Go your capital , local government parks and street corners . Be loud ! Bring a friend !
I tell my friends to go to the protests. I’ve been to the first one. But they say it won’t make a difference. Please help me convince them otherwise. If the media is not covering him, who is watching? Other than those of us on here. I’m hoping all those in Congress are aware. They might get voted out.
Contact the Congressional Republicans if you can. Some of the House Republicans aren't available to people outside their districts, but I think the Senate is. Truly, someone at Meidas with the right legal background needs to give us a script about them defying courts, etc. and people need to call the GOP every single day. And Dems, but GOP because majority, etc.
Pound on the Republicans!

Use every media outlet can to put pressure on senators for a recount. All great civilizations failed because the elite got to greedy and failed to fund those worse off who helped them get rich. Do not even want them to be hero's and donate extra but even if all billionaires pay a flat 50% tax to help the poor would no longer be a national debt in five years and they are doing the right thing to help country survive instead of being a parasite who wants to rob kids cancer research, and many other life saving events so they can bank an extra few trillion not need. It must return to the founding fathers original intentions that the rich have an obligation to help whenever and whoever can, not destroy by tax evasion.
I feel like Dem leaders like Jeffries need to be in the media more. I also think more need to go to the GOP areas and do town halls and hand out pamphlets on the Constitution and the real laws.
I have been trying to find out where we go here in Atlanta? Are we not going to participate? I went two weeks ago and it was well organized.

We are starting to drown in Canada. We need you to spread the word about Pierre Polioviere and how dangerous he is. He is also a fascist and aligned with Trump. We know that and yet so many are being brainwashed into hating the Liberals, just like Trump did. We need some help to ensure that Carney wins this election, with a majority. If not, we will be in the same boat as the US.
As a Canadian I agree that Pierre Poilievre is a very dangerous man, because he is fundamentally a clone of t-rump. But fortunately and as the polls show, the majority of Canadians don’t trust Poilievre and it is likely that Mark Carney and the Liberals will actually win a resounding victory.
Certainly we Canadians will NOT become America’s 51st state! 🇨🇦
I so hope you're right and that I am not panicking for nothing. This seems like the longest election ever. Can't wait till it's over.
Welcome aboard. Ifbthey don't learn from us ,they probably agree with the regime.
#MeidasMightyStrong we will stick together and prevail
What really like to see is an international peace keeping force who have to help America out before civil war breaks out. They could always use maro lago as a command centre with the ultimate insult to a white supremacist to have a non white backside sitting on his sacred golden toilet that he will never use again after contaminated by inferiors.
Who's "inferior"?
"Coolest dictator" is a fucking offensive, horrible statement. Fuck you, Miami Herald.
What has America become - knowingly allowing the incarceration of an innocent man in a hell hole - is that what America is all about? That could be anyone's son, brother, or father! The Trump regime is a disgusting pile of garbage and we need to fight to take America back. Great work Ben and all at MTN, go MTN, go MeidasMighty.
Steven Miller is the evil one whispering in DJT ear.
Josh Shapiro's home was fire bombed this weekend. A young man had been arrested. So many Dem lawyers, Judges, elected officials are having their lives threatened. Steven Millar is the reason for all of this. I want to see some brave Dems harass Steven Millar like he is helping to do to Dems. If my wishful thinking is against the rules, I apologize. But how much are the good people supposed to take? Steven Millar has to go!

Is Meidas Touch ever going to address the genocide in Gaza?
Israel should know better after what happened to them in ww2 .Do not understand that a resurrection of a party that wanted to eliminate the jews can collaborate with them in there Gaza renovation dreams that will never work.
Americans here are trying to fix Our Country . Before we end up like Gaza.
Maybe while discussing the attempted genocide in Israel? All Hamas needs to do to end this nightmare is to release the hostages, living and dead. For nearly 80 years now, every few years, Israel has been attacked by Muslims who want to push it into the sea. They have always lost. On Oct 7, Hamas invaded Israel, murdering 300 kids at a music festival, abducted 271, and then proceeded to move along the border, raping, torturing, and murdering over 1500 civilians. Hamas knew they could not begin to defeat Israel, but rightly believed they could manipulate the gullible public into supporting a radical Muslim terrorist organization. I think Netanyahu is an idiot. Like Trump, he did not receive the majority of the vote, but, for the past 20 years, Gazans have chosen Hamas to control their government. Sometimes you reap what you sow.
Israel has now murdered over 15 000 children, and thousands are now amputees.
And your defense for Israel is "you reap what you sow"....??
I hope every person who sat out the vote for Gaza feels like shit now. They counted on Dems to vote so they threw away their own to make a statement and make THEMSELVES feel better. When Trump was the alternative, the decision is selfish as hell.
Yes, agree. I support Palestine, and voted for Harris/Walz. Many of them are at it again, no politicians seem good enough. I guess they can afford Trump.?!
War sucks. That is why it is stupid to start one, just as it was stupid for Russia to invade Ukraine. Before withdrawing from Gaza in 2005, Israel built desalination plants, hospitals and schools in Gaza. Before Oct 7, 350,000 Gazans worked in Israel daily, making unimpeded trips across the border. I lived in a kibbutz that, at the time, was the last Israeli settlement before the border. We could not do the 5 minute walk to the Mediterranean to swim because kids had been shot doing so. We had to somehow go the 12 miles to Ashkelon where the IDF patrolled the beaches. We were not crossing into Gaza to randomly attack people there. Israeli Arabs were doing fine back then. There were Israeli Arabs all throughout the government, running businesses and sitting in the Knesset. From what I hear, all of that is gone now. I do not have an answer to this dilemma. I deeply regret the deaths in Gaza. However, as long as Gaza’s people elect a terrorist organization promising to extend Palestine from the Jordan river to the Mediterranean (all of Israel), I doubt there will be peace. BTW, I am neither Jewish nor Israeli. I am a Roman Catholic who, back in the early 70’s, was studying Biblical history. I spent a year hitchhiking around Europe and a trip to Israel seemed logical.
Thanks for your story. Palestinians are not Hamas, and the last time they voted was in 2006, times were different then.
Recent polls show that 90% of Gazans support Hamas, an internationally recognized terrorist organization.
Just stop, you are hell bent on put the blame on the Palestinian people, that’s disgusting!! Stop talking to me!
I think I have the same right you have to express opinions. I also think that if Hamas would release the remaining hostages, there would be a better chance of stopping this war. However, no matter what Hamas claims, there will never be a Palestine stretching from the Jordan river to the Mediterranean Sea. That is all of Israel. I still strongly believe that if you don’t want a war, don’t start one. You never answered my question about our response to Pearl Harbor. We certainly killed more civilians than Israel has, but, on the other hand, we saved a Hell of a lot of American soldiers.
what was our response to Japan bombing Pearl Harbor?
Love the Utah turnout but population is 3.5m so 25k not more than 10 percent. Please make an effort not to exaggerate like MAGA. I have noticed that you tend to leave out context from time to time on other stories so please make an effort not to do that as it undermines your message.
It takes 3.5% to move a dictator, so they re afraid. Let's do that all over the country. Go Bernie & AOC! I cannot believe the Dems are letting an 83 year old man do their work...let more Dems get out there!
Agree. I think they meant to say more than 10% of the population of SLC, which is around 200K.
Ok. When all the others start fact checking the wanna be king hard and not purposely lying.,you make sense. Did you post the same message to Fox,X,FB,etc.
Ok, Beacons of truth and all that. Yup, really important that we know what is actually happening and you are doing that job well. Thanks very much. But, but, just knowing just showing up to protests that are otherwise unfocused has no actual power to move the needle. I would go so far as to say that Trump actually gets off on it. He loves it when we are out there protesting in our thousands and it has absolutely no effect on him. This is the demonstration of power that he craves.
So Instead of more of that let's talk about a plan. Let's make our protesting more purposeful. Senator E. Warren and others just introduced a bill in congress saying that there is and was no emergency of any sort. Therefore the assumption of emergency powers to set Tariffs from the executive branch is illegal and cannot be done. The sponsors of this bill need several, not many, but several representatives in both houses to cross the line and vote for this bill. This is a clear opportunity to make our protests focused. Let's not just protest in town somewhere. Let's not have random signs saying whatever. Let's focus and protest outside congressional offices. Let's tell them specifically that they must vote for this bill OR Simply they will be out of a job. Let's tell them that the biggest threat to their future is not being primaried by Musk it is being voted out by us because they didn't protect constitutional law and sacrificed the power of their office to a dictator.
Yeah let's do that.
And Ben you do say that you read all the posts. So what do you think? How about having Senator E. Warren back on and have her comment on focused protests. How about getting Senator B. Sanders to comment. How about using your platform to get specific and actually do stuff.? OR, if you really think I'm off the wall and or you have another plan let me know and I would love to get behind it because I really do think you are doing great work. I just don't understand the long or short term plan.
You are so right. Unfocused protests will not achieve much. There has to be a well organized and coordinated plan. Tyrants can be overthrown if the Will is strong enough. They did it in Romania 1989. The military supported the protesters and brought the dictator Ceausescu down.
We need to shut down Washington, DC.....for as long as it takes. Cars, busses, campers, tractor trailers....
Why aren't you organizing something,since you seem to know better.
It is a matter of reach. I am writing and talking to everyone I am in contact with. But that is numbered in double digits at most. Perhaps I’m not the kind of guy that just does well pursuing popularity. I have always believed that ideas should stand on their own, but the reality is personality plays a huge role. I object a little bit to your comment that I know better. Because actually what I’m saying is, I’m not seeing organized plans being discussed anywhere including in your answer to me. Senator Warren has an active plan in the presentation of her bill opposing emergency status however she’s been very clear that some people have to cross the aisle for the bill to pass.
I hear you. The powerful aren't listening. As usual. We are on a fast track to fascism. No one is listening, still. Meidas gets it. Don't shit on them. The power we need isn't helping. I just want to know why. ✌️
OK, rereading my first sentence I can see how you might think I was being negative about what midas touch is doing. That is certainly not my intent, I think they’re great and stepped in and became successful basically creating a whole arena that didn’t exist before for truth to get out. I do intend to question whether they need to get involved in planning though There has been some things that I read that indicated Ben is probably really good at that.
No problem Patrick sorry I was so salty. I'm in a very angry mood today.
