I await the buyer’s remorse. Arab Americans delivered Michigan to Trump. I empathize with the anger, but the short-sightedness astounds me. Trump supports seizing land near the West Bank and his son-in-law wants to develop Gaza. Hispanic males helped swing multiple states because they could not support a woman leader. How soon will they will realize to Miller all “brown” people are illegal.
Yes, it's my one consolation in all of this, I TRIED to tell them Jared wanted to level the place and put up beach front condos, but nope. Sorry for the Palestinians' plight, but THOSE fools, absolutely deserve that buyer's remorse, they just signed the death warrant of all those people they thought they were helping. I think along with the message that maintaining a democracy is YOUR job, maybe another message should be that no vote at all is better than a vote from ignorance.
Can President Biden make an executive decision and sign into law protections for a woman’s right to choose, as well as protecting social security and ugh, so scared for immigrants , Ukraine and Palestine. What can we do Ben?! 💙🇺🇸
Completely agree! It sure feels like the current administration should be able to do something to stop this fascist regime from destroying the country and the constitution. This is not a normal election with a normal candidate. I will keep faith that something can be done before January 20.🙏🇺🇸
Joe can do what he wants for the next 100 days. I suggest a firing squad for the prz and the sofa sexer and Liz gets the first 2 shots but seriously Joe should put out reams of executive orders while he has immunity.
BEN, you and your brothers and the whole of the Meidas network should immediately, if you have not already, employ serious professional armed security for your persons and your homes. These animals are unhinged and armed and you WILL NEED PROTECTION IF YOU ARE GOING TI CONTINUE THE FIGHT! Please take this seriously, these lunatics are capable of anything, including murder.
2026 is next up, let's go! I'm starting today with my local dem groups, sister district, Emily's list & so on. We need to coalesce & galvanize immediately, exemplify that renewed resistance on Day 1 of orangish presidency.
I don’t know…and I don’t know if they can just cut people off like that. I don’t know if a SS attorney would know. There are millions of Americans on SS and Medicare/medicaid. That’s not the governments money. That belongs to every single American who has worked and paid into it. I don’t know.
Including many millions of Trump voters. Do they imagine they will be exempt from the consequences of such an agenda? Do they think Donald Trump is going to pay their medical bills or buy their groceries once he gives their SSI and healthcare dollars to the Plutocrats?
I guarantee you there are plenty of MAGAts drawing benefits from government funded programs. They have no clue what they’re in for. I pray people like you are protected in some way.
I was able to get spinal surgery from my Medicare doctor. It worked and he said that the surgery is better the older you are. Try for it while you’re able to
Oh? Great, -rolls eyes- of this I was not aware, more to consider, though for my issues, at least for the present, access to a pharmacy, and pain medications alone would be as beneficial than anything doctors have done for me. No one will prescribe what I need here, but I know in Mexico I can get it, I ended up doing suboxone just for the pain relief, but I guess I'll be coming out of pocket for that at some point too.
As I said in another thread, I genuinely look forward to the look on their ignorant faces when it finally dawns on them just how badly they utterly screwed the pooch on this one.
I agree. They thought that we were the ones who were brainwashed and meanwhile, no matter how much you tried to explain to them, we were wrong and they were right. I didn’t think that many Americans were going to sit this election out as well.
Seems to me considering challenging anything through the courts will mostly be unsuccessful and the SC will only approve what trump wants. I hope other approaches will be more effective. At least with legal challenges maybe we can get some public awareness. Again, mainstream/corporate media may or may not give these legal challenges any play time but if they do, maybe that will help sway some voters for 2026 (if we still have elections then).
I’m just dumbfounded how people that we know, whether it be family or friends, and the people that walk among us did this to all of us. I won’t be able to survive until 2026 without my benefits and I’m sure the many people on here who are on SS and Medicare will as well. And I don’t think the courts will listen to us. This is all just sickening.
Yeah, they screwed us alright, I personally am looking at getting out, maybe Mexico, or Costa Rica, though I am not sure what I will do for money there, I guess I can always go back to line cooking, but with five ruptured disks, it may be a challenge.
except the ice floes will be gone and it's straight up drowning. at least the red states will be ripe for the next major weather disaster just in time for the defunding of NOAA which could have warned them, and FEMA which should have helped them recover...
I’ve had it done and the discs in my mid back fused on their own over time.
I’m just concerned and wondering if they can legally stop SS and Medicare to the millions of Americans that are already on it. I think there would be unrest if that were to happen.
Trump's plans will cause SS to go bankrupt much earlier than before, resulting in mandatory cuts to those of us already relying on it to survive. Unless they privatize it, in which case the rich will just take everything and leave us nothing.
That money is not an entitlement…we pay 7.2% of our gross, which I did for 32 years before I got injured by a corporation that got Trump tax cuts whom did want to pay overtime, and our employer has to match it so another 7.2% of our gross goes into an account for when we retire. Because I had to leave the workforce early, my pension is missing 15 years of credits. I can’t and millions and millions of Americans won’t be able to survive. He talks about homeless people getting arrested…well, he’s going to cause millions to go homeless. There will be anarchy. I hope everyone who voted for this and those that decided to not show up to vote because of their Gaza protests when Bernie Sanders asked them to because he said they could have negotiated with a Harris Administration and not a clowns administration, like what the did.
There is one thing that my wife thinks he can do and that is to give his son Hunter a full pardon. Biden has been treated badly and I don't think he has to maintain a position of honor when it comes to his son.
Forgive my naïveté. Shouldn't we be encouraging people to leave X en masse? Wouldn't this at least make M*sk less attractive as a policy maker, by ruining one of his platforms -- he can have the echo chamber?
I just moved over to Threads and since Wednesday 36,000 people have posted they deactivated Twitter with the hashtag, Deleted Twitter. Come over and find your community. Meidas Touch is there.
Haha, it feels like a whole bunch of guys who couldn't get laid in a "house of ill repute" brought us here, seems the least women could do is insure they never do.
Right there with you, I have one of them for a *counselor*, if you can wrap your mind around that, have to see her tomorrow, and it's a treatment program, so it isn't something I can quit and ask for a new one. I suppose I can evade the topic, with 'sit tight, enlightenment will arrive sooner than you think', but it's gonna be awkward.
Thanks, as it turned out I made snap judgements I shouldn't have, didn't vote cause she's got a felony, so I guess we're good, they've made it easy to simply say, "hey, don't take my word, just look at the bloodthirsty people he plans to give positions of authority on Twitter, or some right wing podcasts, it isn't as though they're hiding anything.
I would love to send money across the border into the [soon to be former] US of A, but firearms are expensive in Canada and I do not intend to roll over.
Hopefully people stop pointing fingers at Kamala Harris: It was a vote of Trump or Not Trump, and they chose the path of least resistance … THEIR resistance. I feel that the non-conservatives in Canada reacted to this election result the same way one might feel when I friend gets a terminal diagnosis. The friend has 70+ days to live, and there is nothing you can do about it.
There may be an election in 2028, but I cannot foresee how or why Emperor Trump (or by his death, Emperor Vance), will ever allow one.
Russia is now the most powerful dictatorial country (to my North) and soon, US of A will be the second-most powerful dictatorial country (to my South). Let's just say, I feel very uneasy at this alliance.
I am still suspicious of the results because they make no sense except in the light of Greg Palast's extensive research into voter suppression (which Stacey Abrams' non profit used in litigation to restore voting rights) - look up Vigilante's Inc., currently free on YouTube: https://youtu.be/P_XdtAQXnGE?si=A-VMSDkSzxLqstiu
Yes we do have to get down to the grassroots and mobilize to educate people - too many people did not vote! Where are they? Who are they? Why did they not vote? How do we reach and motivate them to take action? The Democratic party desperately needs to address this and act upon it now. Trump is NOT what America is and does not represent 1/2 the country. More like 22% because of non-voters. This is not who America is - too many people did not vote for whatever reason - so Trump did not get over half of the country supporting him - more like 1/5th - So we can take heart in knowing that the majority still support the America we are - but why didn't they vote!!
Trump got 72.6 million votes, or 50.8%. Harris got 46.9 million votes, or 47.5%. The two candidates got 140.5 million votes, excluding 3rd party and people who didn't vote for the top of the ticket. This, 72.6 million voters is TWENTY-TWO% (22%) of 330 Million Americans. More than one-fifth and LESS THAN ONE-QUARTER of Americans elected Trump. So the "Who we are" talk goes out the window. Trump didn't get 51% of voters with less a quarter of American votes.
He got the young vote because of Reagan, Shapiro, kirkland... this is what votes see and the Republicans support them. The left who doesn't support any tells people to watch mainstream media. We need more programs like this and brian Cohen. The daily show interview tressie mcmillian cotton go watch her interview she tells you exactly how trump won. How and why people voted for him and we need to do the same.
Corporate media is posting the truth now for the clicks. They didn't report it during the election because a Trump administration is profitable for them. Their billionaire owners get fat tax cuts and the networks get more traffic when a shit show is in office. Stop watching them and cancel all subscriptions.
This is reply to your "Mourning in America" email.
This is utter armchair nonsense. And just plain wrong-headed.
It was not Harris, Biden, campaign tactics, Afghanistan, etc. etc. This election was never about issues, it was always about gut anger. Highly privileged and pampered Americans were unhappy with how their lives have turned out. This despite having every comfort, opportunity, and support system available virtually no where else in the world. Their current unhappy lives are a sole consequence of their own acts and choices, but they don't want to accept that: it would mean regret and self-recrimination for their past actions, and it would mean they actually have to get off the couch and make a change now. Far easier to find the "other" to blame for their false "misery." MAGA is all about (Trump's) blaming of Others instead of accepting personal responsibility, fixing one's course of action, and moving on. Your focus on "issues and bad strategies" is not only completely inaccurate, it is dangerously misleading for your viewers who want to understand what went wrong, what horror show is coming down the pike, and how to respond.
I personally welcome the suffering that’s about to come. Most Americans don’t really know what hardship and suffering is. But they’re about to find out. The fact is, most Americans are cruel and selfish people. The ONLY way this MAGAt nightmare ends is with their PERSONAL suffering. There is no other way to beat this thing.
Once I thought similarly. But the way this works is that because this choice came from anger, when suffering strikes The Powers That Be simply redirect this new anger, and thus the blame for their suffering, at The Others. This tactic has worked well in Russia for over a century. It is what won this election despite a fantastic economy.
I don't have any real suggestions other than for those who worked hard on the campaign: take a break, rest up, reassess your moral priorities, and then decide what you want to do. As for what went wrong, the kind of analysis in "Mourning", (a common approach in all media), completely misses the point. Harris (whom I did not support initially) ran a stellar campaign. But this was not a normal campaign. To now go back and find fault in her approach/decisions, or even in the Biden administration, wrongly focuses on irrelevant "analysis" or even "blame" when Harris lost as a consequence of manufactured gut anger, not issues.
Thanks. Good points. I just watched interesting discussion you might find interesting: https://youtu.be/QZOrYc86lUE?si=2SYxtqVnIKlwyY09. The Bulwark with Tim (former repub) and Tom Nichols, great writer. Good discussion and tossing out ideas with humility, I thought.
So,as my thinking progresses from a double batch of Chex mix, pickling the last of the okra from my son's garden, to drinking straight from a bottle of Pinot Grigio, I am thinking of the young women of the Comete Ligne, the resistance movement that saved y dad during WW2. The resistance organization was started by a 19 yr old girl. I am reminded of the Parkland kids. MIA for 3 months, my dad was a 19 yr old co pilot on a B 17, shot down, found the helpers, moved from near Brussels to the South of France only to cross the Pyrenees and escape to Gibraltar. He was the first of the Bloody 100,the to walk out and return to Thorpe Abbott England.
I await the buyer’s remorse. Arab Americans delivered Michigan to Trump. I empathize with the anger, but the short-sightedness astounds me. Trump supports seizing land near the West Bank and his son-in-law wants to develop Gaza. Hispanic males helped swing multiple states because they could not support a woman leader.

Sorry, guys. Still too angry to be helpful

I think along with the message that maintaining a democracy is YOUR job, maybe another message should be that no vote at all is better than a vote from ignorance.
Couldn't agree more, Cathy.
And how soon before ICE will start checking everyone everywhere who's not white.
It's begun.
Can President Biden make an executive decision and sign into law protections for a woman’s right to choose, as well as protecting social security and ugh, so scared for immigrants , Ukraine and Palestine. What can we do Ben?! 💙🇺🇸

he's working to get as much aid to Ukraine as he can...
BEN, you and your brothers and the whole of the Meidas network should immediately, if you have not already, employ serious professional armed security for your persons and your homes. These animals are unhinged and armed and you WILL NEED PROTECTION IF YOU ARE GOING TI CONTINUE THE FIGHT! Please take this seriously, these lunatics are capable of anything, including murder.
he already fucked America, and thise fucking idiots put him back to finish the job and that is the hifgt of EVIL nazi !! but we will fight back
We truly have to get down to the local level to ensure that we have democrats in election director positions
2026 is next up, let's go! I'm starting today with my local dem groups, sister district, Emily's list & so on. We need to coalesce & galvanize immediately, exemplify that renewed resistance on Day 1 of orangish presidency.
You think Trump and Bannon and Miller are going to allow elections?
I’m on SSDI…this has me scared. What did my fellow Americans do to me?
I don’t know…and I don’t know if they can just cut people off like that. I don’t know if a SS attorney would know. There are millions of Americans on SS and Medicare/medicaid. That’s not the governments money. That belongs to every single American who has worked and paid into it. I don’t know.

I guarantee you there are plenty of MAGAts drawing benefits from government funded programs. They have no clue what they’re in for. I pray people like you are protected in some way.
I'm scared too, medicaid is my only insurance, I was going to apply for ssdi, but it seems like it isn't worth the bother now...
I’m sorry about your back. I know all to well. My lower half is fused and my neck has a fusion of 3 discs.
I was able to get spinal surgery from my Medicare doctor. It worked and he said that the surgery is better the older you are. Try for it while you’re able to
I would love to get out as well but even if we can get SS, Medicare and Medicaid won’t pay for medical care outside the US.
Oh? Great, -rolls eyes- of this I was not aware, more to consider, though for my issues, at least for the present, access to a pharmacy, and pain medications alone would be as beneficial than anything doctors have done for me. No one will prescribe what I need here, but I know in Mexico I can get it, I ended up doing suboxone just for the pain relief, but I guess I'll be coming out of pocket for that at some point too.

Yeah, they screwed us alright, I personally am looking at getting out, maybe Mexico, or Costa Rica, though I am not sure what I will do for money there, I guess I can always go back to line cooking, but with five ruptured disks, it may be a challenge.
But they will soon start using the Eskimo care of the elderly? Say, isn't that your ice floe coming now. Bon voyage!!
except the ice floes will be gone and it's straight up drowning. at least the red states will be ripe for the next major weather disaster just in time for the defunding of NOAA which could have warned them, and FEMA which should have helped them recover...

Also, what can Biden do in his final months? Could he arrest trump? Revoke his probation?
There is one thing that my wife thinks he can do and that is to give his son Hunter a full pardon. Biden has been treated badly and I don't think he has to maintain a position of honor when it comes to his son.
I want him to resign and let Kamala take over so she can claim the mantle of the first woman president. She can pardon Hunter.
Amen!
Comer has announced today that he is once again going for Hunter Biden.
Of course Joe can arrest DonOLD- he has presidential immunity .
Forgive my naïveté. Shouldn't we be encouraging people to leave X en masse? Wouldn't this at least make M*sk less attractive as a policy maker, by ruining one of his platforms -- he can have the echo chamber?

Thank you. Obviously, I have problems with Meta, too, but maybe this isn't the time to split hairs.
I left when it started moving right years ago. Long before it was the "social media formerly known as Twitter"
I've never had nor will have X, Instagram, or TikTok. I don't trust any of them and tolerate fb.
May the Patriarchy DIE sooner than later! Women, rise up against ALL patriarchal fools and DENY them your attention!
Haha, it feels like a whole bunch of guys who couldn't get laid in a "house of ill repute" brought us here, seems the least women could do is insure they never do.
Sadly, far too many women believed Trump's lies and voted for him. I'm actually more angry at them than at the men.
Right there with you, I have one of them for a *counselor*, if you can wrap your mind around that, have to see her tomorrow, and it's a treatment program, so it isn't something I can quit and ask for a new one. I suppose I can evade the topic, with 'sit tight, enlightenment will arrive sooner than you think', but it's gonna be awkward.

May all MAGAt Neanderthals reap the evil they sow tenfold! They STILL won't learn their lesson!
I want them to suffer the consequences of their vote, too, but unfortunately, the rest of us will suffer along with them.
I hear you. Yes it'll affect all of us but remain strong and resistant. When he passes away, we'll have lots of fuel against the MAGAts.
Corporate media is posting the truth now for the clicks. They didn't report it during the election because a Trump administration is profitable for them.
