Standing with the Meidas Mighty from Canada.

We will not give in. No appeasement!

Ask a Canadian Lawyer: Since US Law (Amendment 14) is clear that Trump’s actions on Jan 6 prohibit from taking the Oath of Office and serving as President, then no order, treaty with Trump would be valid.

The swearing-in is invalid until 2/3rds of Congress approves his Oath. His signature is worthless.

What will Canada do? JD is a valid Vice President, kiss HIS ass.

Yes but he’s an evil man, too. Who else would DT choose?

Expand full comment

What, Who else? No. Its Vance or Trump. You must choose one.

A moronic insurgent criminal madman who wants to outdo Hitler, or a Yale law grad with a Hindu wife and biracial children

Understands the law, and won’t go to war with Canada.

Vance acted like a mini-Trump to reach the VP slot.

If you and your best friend were given a shit sandwich and a chicken sandwich, would you complain that the chicken isn’t free range, so you two eat the other option?

That’s why our broken political and media system has enslaved us.

Expand full comment

And DT cannot “choose” anyone. He chose Vance to be Vice President, who by Law becomes President when there is no President.

That’s the situation in 10 hours.

Or we suspend democracy and Rule of Law, and embrace authoritarianism.

Those are the facts 😕...but how do we get rid of God of the Oligarchs... question for another day...

Expand full comment

No, Answer for today:

All Oligarchs? Convince them to take less and share more.

As for Trump? Here’s the only option: JD Vance must convince Trump to take the “Better Deal”, allow Vance to be Acting President, not announce that he Repealed the 14 Amendment, or relaunch his Jan 6 Insurrection to finish the job.

Wanna know what the Better Deal Includes?

Expand full comment

Trump’s Better Deal

In exchange for retiring to Mar a Lago and not destroying America:

Full Pardon for all past and ongoing crimes;

$10 Billion a year pension;

$10 Billion a year for 10,000 staff, security, guests, to produce the highest rated Reality TV show in history: “Your Favorite President Trump”;

Trump has immunity to do whatever he wants on his show;

He gets an annual Lifetime Achievement Award at the Emmys to a standing ovation.

What else would Trump want?

Definitely!

I find it funny that American news says "Trump wasn't accused of any wrong going" in regard to the Epstein case. But everyone else is guilty 😆!!! The POS is so transparent to me. He is a gangster pedophile that has run from the law his entire life and somehow the lame minds of America think the guy is God. The behavior is so bizarre

Give in? What the fuck are you talking about, you assole keyboard revolutionary? You think this is the French Underground in 1938?

Hey Pete. I was going to ask, "how are you doing?" But from your expressed anger and hate, it is evident that there is not much happiness in your life. That is too bad. I suggest - there is absolutely no problem with disagreeing with a statement, of course, with reasons for disagreement. However, crossing the line and attacking the messenger is a symptom of someone living a very poor quality of life and blaming everyone else rather than looking in the mirror and asking, "How can I make my life better." Best wishes, Wayne

He's no one's president. He is an illegitimate squatter in our White House, but not the president, no matter how many ceremonies they do. The Constitution disallows his being president, so he isn't. Pay him no more mind than you do that piece of used gum stuck to the sidewalk. #FuckTrump

I love he's an illegitimate squatter in the White House. That's a perfect and true analysis.

I agree! I'm wearing all black today I will honor Rev. Martin Luther King, not a wannabe king.

Hi 👋 Caryl, they tried but they can not because they will get copyright strikes and their YouTube channel can be taken down. This is why they've decided to play the puppies and kittens videos instead! I hope this help you understand why they aren't. 🙃

Expand full comment

Actually, I think they can stream it live-because they have streamed other events live!! The channel decided against streaming the inauguration-follows their choice to not show videos or audio of “the orange turd”

Expand full comment

Roland Martin's YouTube channel / Black Star Network app is streaming KING DAY VIRTUAL CELEBRATION | National Civil Rights Museum | #MLK2025. It's an all-day celebration.

Expand full comment

I'm actually disappointed that the focus is puppies and kittens and not the man who should truly be honored today and raising money for those causes. Meidas could have done something much more meaningful in honor of MLK. That would have really sucked the air out of the room. The rage against Trump is getting tiresome. I'd prefer a more meaningful alternative on an important day such as this. I'm disappointed in this choice and would rather put my focus on work being done in honor of MLK. Missed opportunity Meidas. Hopefully you do better next time.

Expand full comment

Well—the rage against 🍊should NEVER STOP, until 🍊 leaves office. Has all the suffering he has caused over? All the children separated from their families and put in cages, the many women he has assaulted… I don’t need to go on. He is a convicted felon.

Meidas do better??? What universe are you on? Maybe you don’t need to be on the Meidas universe.

I am not religious but I recall that Jesus exhibited just anger when he threw the money changers OUT of the temple.

Ben et al, don’t change your course. Now that 🍊is in office we need your rage 😡 even more.

Jesus could just throw anyone out that he wanted but WE can't.

❤️ this idea very much - but please consider giving donations raised to local 5013c shelters instead of the Humane Society of America. I worked & volunteered at 501c3 animal shelters for over 20 years & am still a volunteer- we never saw any of the $$ from the HSUS. Much of the $$ goes into the pockets of the executives NOT to the animals in need. Google it. Don’t believe the ads. Please give to local shelters who are experts at making every dollar count. Thank you so much for thinking of the animals.

Expand full comment

Yes, giving to a local shelter/shelters is a much better option!

Expand full comment

Another option: Best Friends, no-kill sanctuary, is rescuing animals in the Los Angeles area. They can use donations. https://bestfriends.org/emergency-response/los-angeles-wildfires

Expand full comment

Local shelters are more direct, although disaster relief our local shelter recommended sending $$to the humane society when I asked about it after the hurricane devastation. I will send one to the Pasadena shelter …they are wonderful.(lived there for 25 years)

Expand full comment

Considering his nominee for the top security position, and her record of animal abuse, shouldn't we direct support to ASPCA?

Expand full comment

ASPCA keeps much of the money...google it. Pleaes donate locally. I donated to Best Friends as they arevery involved with saving the dogs in shelters in LA area, taking the ones that were already there and allowingowners to leave their pets in the shelter until they can settle somewhere.

Expand full comment

ASPCA operates in a similar way to HSUS. Most of the money received lines the pockets of executives - although they may have great ads very little of the money raised went ro actually help animals. Check Charity Navigator for non- biased reviews and good/bad scores.

Expand full comment

Or shelters in LA. They definitely could use the support. I'm really disappointed that Meidas didn't put the focus on CA and/or MLK today. Really disappointed.

We are here! What a sad day! But it’s also an important day! Today the world is watching to see if “we the people” will capitulate to authoritarians and oligarchs. Will they see us? I hope so! I want them to know most of U.S. do not agree with what is happening! Great strategy: when emotions run high sometimes you just gotta watch baby animals.

I’m with you there. I’d rather think about anything else since there is nothing that I can do about it. Stand strong and hopefully we’ll all find ways to calm ourselves and then take measured action. Be well.

Expand full comment

You think that this is 1968, and you risk going to Vietnam? "Measured action" What the fuck are you talking about? Your greatest measured action is what color to paint the garage. You think that you are fighting a revolution? Use Google???? How is that not supporting the oligarchs?

Expand full comment

Perhaps that was not the right words to use, but my mind is regular communication with my Senators and Congresspeople, building up our community, familiarizing myself with the areas needs and supporting them. I’m not really sure I can support oligarchs, especially when I am dependent on Social Security and Medicare. My worth is only to those around me.

Expand full comment

I have read guidance in multiple highly credible social media channels to turn all your TVs on all day and watch the cooking channel, or HDTV, or the YouTube channel. Your TVs will be tallied in the Nielsen ratings as on but not watching the inauguration. Wouldn’t it be great if there was only a 20% or less viewership?

Expand full comment

My TV will be on PBS. He hates them!

Expand full comment

My understanding is that streaming channels like YouTube don't count. So I will have a TV on YouTube and one on hgtv!

Expand full comment

I actually thought that too but have done a quick google search and found that streaming services are now included

If you're wondering whether streaming services are included in Nielsen ratings, here are the key points to consider:

1. Nielsen has expanded its measurement to include streaming services.

2. Streaming platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video are now part of

Nielsen's ratings.

3. Nielsen tracks viewership data for both live and on-demand streaming content.

4. The ratings help advertisers understand audience engagement across different platforms.

5. Nielsen's streaming metrics are integrated into their overall TV ratings reports.

6. The inclusion of streaming data reflects changing viewing habits in the media landscape.
