"Elon Musk is a massive liability for Trump, even more polls find". (Daily Kos)......

Trump don’t care anymore. Musk gave him the presidency, so he will be okay with Musk doing whatever he wants as long as Musk doesn’t upstage the big narcissist.
Musk is already upstaging Trump.
yep, when TIME magazine put musk behind the Resolution desk and made it the cover...(We need to do much MUCH more like this; apparently trump was furious - whatta surprise.)
Agreed. Donald sold us out allowing Musk to buy his power!! Donald and team our "giddy" with what Musk is doing while Donald playing golf!! Donald sold us all out letting Musk with no clue what's he's doing damage our fed system?? 2025 plan that Donald did not know about and disagrees with most of it!!
Does the bufoon know what he signed the first day? He's stupid! There are over 60 people not with us due to Donald allowing a staff pull out of the faa!! How will he react if they forget to check air force 1 tires?? Or forget to pack diapers for him??
I can’t help the feeling that not only the orange felon is in Putin‘s pocket, but Mukus-Musk is, too!
Musk has been having private conversations with Putin since 2022 and went to Moscow twice to meet with Putin. Musk is as much a traitor as felon 47 is.
TRUMP + GOP + MAGA = TRAITORS
totally; vlad puppeting both.
What all do they do?
Republicans need to grow some balls and stand up to trump and musk before they destroy America. Sooner rather than later.
They can't grow what they never had.
I think they had their balls remove on Nov 6th
they were missing that part of their anatomy when mcconnell 1) made them all sign an agreement NOT to support ANY of Obama's bills and they did as ordered, and 2) when mcconnell - after stating that the Jan. 6 insurrection was an abomination & he knew trump was responsible - refused to even put the 2nd impeachment over that act up for a vote...................... was it because he already knew his spineless members were too scared to SHOW their true feelings via vote? was it because HE was too spineless to go for it??? All of the above? IF THE GOP HAD NIPPED THE ORANGE PROBLEM IN THE BUD BACK THEN WE WOULD NOT BE IN TODAY'S DEPLORABLE SITUATION. Hope they are proud of themselves. . . . They have one last opportunity to do the right thing... and oughta be thinking about their children and grandchildren... and/or the sacrifices their own ancestors made in the fight for FREEDOM. . Ugh!!!
Call and leave your message at your representative's office in DC and voice your disgust at their inaction of the illegal DOGE firings and impoundment of approved spending. They do measure responses left on the phone system.
100%, criminals will commit crime all day until they are stopped.
You're assuming that the Republicans care about America being destroyed. With very few exceptions, they don't care. Their jobs are safe -- that's what matters to them.
But that's the problem..... as during Hitler's reign, far too many people thought "it wouldn't happen to them" . . . . and then it did..... Why are so many Americans ignorant about this???? Or why don't they pay attn to the way trump rolls? He demands utmost loyalty but the minute anyone even diplomatically suggests a different perspective than his, or tries to (again, diplomatically) tries to explain a possible negative ramification of one of trump's ideas, that person is fired and otherwise thrown under the bus. ALL THE TIME.
Everyone in a Rep. district needs to remind their Senators and Congresspersons that if they want their political careers to outlast tRump's reign, they better start remembering that they need voters. MAGA won't save them.
This will never happen. They are afraid of him. One word from Dumpster will destroy all re-election chances. One word from Dumpster will send violent magats to threaten all (politicians and their families) who speak out and vote against him. Think of Paul Pelosi and his fractured skull.
Trump can't handle 2 dimensional text. Let's stop dreaming about 4 dimensional chess.
That's the best comparison I've read. And unfortunately, so many voted for a false idol.
Monday and Thursday nights are made for the Meidas Touch Podcast. and being with the Mighty meidas touch family. We know trump is a weak pathetic loser who thinks he is the king. And musk is behind the curtain running things. we need to stand together honk the horn, be loud, protest, you name it. Never surrender, stand our ground
How as Americans can we get you guys press passes in the WH?
Why! If they ask one question that makes #45 "uncomfortable", he'll take away their access, just like he did to Jim Accosta last time.
Meanwhile, MAGA is losing jobs and lives to the bull they’ve been told and still no tariff, no Gaza, no exportation increase and we haven’t even gotten to the tax cuts yet.
Trump only talks BS
but far too many people actually listen....
Price of eggs going down???? As a measure of current economy success, there are no eggs at my market. Bird Flu is a conspiracy....tell that to the hens. Let's make this very real..price of eggs is going up,up,up!!
https://www.thekitchn.com/best-egg-substitutes-baking-23003895
WHEN you can find them..
Shop Walmart.com and select the pickup at store option. They have the best supply chain on the ground. You shouldn’t need to fly eggs. Depending on the price of eggs and how far you want to drive to get to the store. Matter fact if you use the membership option and consistently buy their database will alert the customers.
There are also eggs AND at the normal prices in my local 2-branch market. It may be that location makes a diff.... the eggs I mention are generally from local entities, not big producers. I used the "WHEN you can find them" to make a point that this IS an issue in many areas, esp. areas full of trump supporters who need to wake up.
Think about the massive increase in UNEMPLOYMENT numbers, and the $$$ paid when those folks apply for UE Insurance.... or the $$$$ that is "said" same people will receive if they take the buyout. (And who believes THAT "promise" will be honored??) Think about all the $$$ being spent by ICE, who, after all the "photo opp" action and massive round up of mostly all the wrong people, with actual deportations running way behind what Biden have already been doing. Think about the $$$$$$$$ being wasted using those giant military planes to move captured people around instead of the standard commercial planes customarily used for same purpose and MUCH lower expense. Think about all the infrastructure going in - providing high paying jobs (construction itself then afterwards) that musk has put a stop to. The entire economy was HUMMING and now it's going into the dumpster. ANYTHING to trash anything good Obama or Biden may have done. But I forget... we have a "stable genius" at the helm! We finally have someone who uses "common sense" in control. We should be fine.
God bless you. You are soooo correct! As if we didn’t spend the last 8 years trying to convict this utter corrupt madness in the courts of this land. OUR DUTY NOW IS TO BRING CHARGES AGAINST ALL IMPLICATED OR YOUR CHILDREN WILL HAVE TO IN YEARS TO COME. THIS IS CORRUPTION AND ITS EVIL AGAINST US AND THE WORLD.
Truth will prevail if we join together for our Nation United we are invisible no matter your political affiliation you belong to. It's our Constitution our Country, it does not matter whether you are black, white or yellow we are Americans. Canada has given a great example as to what united we can do. Thank you Canada.

This may be out of context of this particular discussion,and probably naive, but why aren't people who are committing crimes being arrested or detained?
I keep thinking about what would happen if civil servants had pulled the same illegal actions. In the meantime more and more $-#7@ keeps being stolen or corrupted. Who knows the myriad of ways that can be used now and in the future.
Cyber-cracking of a protected federal system. “Cracking” defines the criminal breaking-into aspect. It takes more technical sophistication.
Btw, Putin is laughing at all of us that we lack the brass nuts to rid ourselves of the whole traitorous lot of them. We prattle about being a strong, principled nation, but where is the proof of it?
Check this out re details in plain English of the DOGE cyberbreach of privacy of protected data:
https://open.substack.com/pub/ladyhistorian/p/vital-reading-extent-of-doge-cybercrime?r=1h6w76&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=post-publish
the people who would do the arresting are IN the new justice dept! If they are new hires, ok, they think orange. If they are holdovers from Biden, I would not wanna be in their shoes. Bottom line: doesn't seem to be anyone who COULD do any arrests..
Why can't he be impeached? Though with the Rs in majority, it would never happen.
We're waiting for the displaced Federal workers and others to miss a mortgage payment and car payment or college tuition payment or two. There will be no talking to them by the Diaper brigade.
These people will be livid and they will be organizing against the BS train with poop conductor Trump in the driver's seat. What does MAGA think it can do against scores of angry ex-federal workers taking to the streets and intent on revenge?
They are underestimating the people who've built their careers working in the USG. They are underestimating the anger of the people being kicked out who are "this close to" retirement. They are underestimating the scores of people who have loved ones in the US military, US Law Enforcement, and the USG who are getting the shaft from Trump.
Oh, there will be a price to pay for what MAGA is doing--the likes of which are going to be unimaginable--for them. When TSHTF Trump will retreat to where--his bunker? Perhaps he'll be the honored guest in ZookeyBug's underground stronghouse. Or, maybe Putrid will offer him solace and shelter in Russia.
Who knows? What I suspect is that MAGA is actually creating its own ugly demise. They just don't realize it--yet. Trump will screw them over just the same as he's screwed over his wives, friends, business partners and his very own siblings! Believe it? Or, not!
exactly
So let me get this right - we lose our rights, our benefits, our constitution and we are supposed to elect Trump for a third term so we can suffer forever.
Trump doesn't need to be re-elected. The fix is already in -- he'll just refuse to go or be proclaimed Dear Leader for Life -- or After-Life.
Pretty sure that's what he meant BEFORE the 11/5/24 election when he kept saying, "Vote vote vote. All you gotta do is vote for me once, then you'll never have to vote for me again."
Hopefully after life. Sooner than later
That’s a frightening thought, but something Trump and Musk would go ahead and do. Trump doesn’t care about his MAGA Cult, he only looks after himself.
Ghita from Denmark love Meidas Touch, and i am so proud of being a part of this amazing network. You are the reason that sane people does`t go crazy because of all the fake news.
Trump Issues Executive Order Mandating "Stollen" as Official Spelling of "Stole"
WASHINGTON D.C.
February 7, 2025
In a move that scholars are calling “a bold reimagining of the English language,” former Vice President Donald Trump issued an executive order Friday declaring that the correct spelling of "stole" is now officially "stollen," a change he insists will "save America’s beautiful, beautiful words from the radical left."
"LOOKS LIKE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS HAVE BEEN STOLLEN AT USAID..."
Trump wrote in a hastily typed Truth Social post later amending it to read "STOLLEN!!" after users pointed out the initial post still contained words spelled correctly. "Sleepy Joe and his corrupt handlers want you to believe the word is spelled their way, but real Americans know the truth. We’re bringing back strong, tremendous spelling. Everyone says so. Lincoln spelled it this way, folks, very bigly!"
The executive order, titled "Making English Great Again (MEGA)", will require all federal documents, textbooks, and elementary school spelling bees to adopt the revised spelling, with violators subject to deportation to "somewhere bad, like California." Trump’s team has also announced plans to reclassify "stollen," the German Christmas bread, as a "low-energy, weak pastry" unfit for patriotic consumption.
Language experts were quick to weigh in on the decision, with Oxford Dictionary editors calling it "a grammatical Pearl Harbor" and Merriam-Webster responding with a single, exhausted sigh. Meanwhile, German bakers worldwide have reported a surge in confused Americans attempting to buy loaves of bread in order to return them to the U.S. Treasury.
At press time, Trump was reportedly drafting a follow-up executive order demanding that dictionaries replace "indicted" with "perfect, totally innocent man."
This is not normal !! It is complete insanity!!
If you can prove this to court evidentiary standards, get Meidas to file suit. But if this is just wishful thinking -- like all the stuff MAGA came up with re 2020 -- then stop with the conspiracy theories. Does no one any good.
Listening to this is the only thing that keeps me sane!
I used to work in IT. Once they're in they're downloading everything and putting in a secret "back door" to be able to access any system whenever they want, even if the courts get them out. We are screwed and they all need to be arrested and stopped NOW!
Mainstream media is not reporting on the protest
Rachel Maddow did last night and it was awesome.
Somebody needs to tell Trump that the world can not survive without China. However, the world can survive without the USA.
The definition of insanity is putting Trump back in office again!!
👏👏👏👍👍💙💙
"‘Constitutional emergency’: senior US Democrat demands inquiry into Musk’s government blitz". (The Guardian)......
(Exclusive: Bobby Scott sounds alarm over ‘void of oversight’ as Doge accesses sensitive data within US agencies.)
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/07/bobby-scott-musk-doge-investigation?link_id=16&can_id=56bdad496d5a1d659d2f23c00c81d0e3&source=email-republican-pushes-law-to-strip-wives-of-all-power&email_referrer=email_2610624&email_subject=trump-nightmare-order-triggers-mass-medical-emergencies
I've never in my life heard ethnic cleansing policy discussed so nonchalantly and put forth as a business transaction. But for many reasons, it's hard for me to believe that he seriously thinks this insane, immoral, illegal policy could possibly work. Either way it would end in failure. So now I'm beginning to suspect that this disgusting BS, about ethnically cleansing Palestinians out of Gaza, was put forth to maybe goad Palestinians into doing something, so that Israel would have a pretext to completely nullify the ceasefire and finish their Genocidal campaign; Either way it's absolutely madd and will not work.
The Donald needs to be called out on what he's allowing Musk to do! Donald started that 2025 plan that he said he "knew nothing about" and "disagreed with much of it". Donald is so stupid the button only knows he can make some money!! Yep! The family is the same! Jarid gets 1.2 billion the first day Daddy's in office?? That ok?
Biden had character and heart. That does not go away with age. Evil people become worse with age. They never get better.
For your captioner: It’s PUTZ not putts.
Find the WarRoom that houses Phox and the White House press secretary that coordinates the words spoken by the GOP; you will find much more than just talking points.
Musk born a white privileged 10% rule with Peter in South Africa!!. stopped federal aide to Africa!! People wil.starve, people won't get life saving medication! Because its now sitting an a dock?? How much Data did Musk get from our US treasurey? Is he able to tell us the truth? China interested?? Look only Elon? Look with a camera? So annoying its clearly illegal! He needs a legal review!! Peter Theil also!!
I keep asking isn't there a way to legally to stop Musk? Can legal action be taken against him?
I am very confused. I have absolutely no idea how much foolishness is really going on. Our lives appear to not be secure. Freedoms appear to be threatened. Is there any concept of an end to all of these threats?????
Stop the bullying. Unprofessional and makes me not want to watch and liaten
Trump is not in his right mind
February 28th stay home and don't buy anything strike America!
The one I am more concerned about is unfortunately the very intelligent crap head calls himself big balls. You have to understand if he has seen our info he has it. The NSA and the CIA had better be on top of this POS of a little human being. No joke guys. This little shit can do some damage, "maybe" not to you directly but everyone else around you. And I agree with Mike Hammer. I am not religious at all but all I see is Lucifer ie: Elon Musk.
I think it is a fools place if we believe in any kind of utopian paradise on this earth and because I have not died I can not lay claim to any other paradise outside of this life.
I retired as a Hospice nurse and saw many questioning situations but also learned that it is so true that love in action does make positive change. That word love is so misused today.
We all have that final breath and the evil ones do too. If I am still here to see that I will not be sad for them. So I guess I can admit that I am far from perfect but I know the difference between good and evil malevolent behavior. There is a price to pay on this side and I have seen it in many final breaths.
I hope many will collectively help each other because we will need it.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It matters to me.
I have witnessed death one to many times and have been with some very nice people that worked with Hospice and I know first hand that you pay a price. Actually for me animals hurt the most. Love is very real and powerful. Hate I have felt so much so that it had almost quite literally eaten me alive. Humanity could have a paradise it is up them for the most part. It is never going to be perfect. IF Humanity decides that money is nothing more than a tool and an incentive to be better, to get more. I'm a Gene Roddenberry fan.Yes Star Trek but again people miss the point of his dream and it wasn't really star ships. That was just an attention getter of sorts. The way we see each other and treat each other and money and power. DT is mentally ill and he has spread hate. Elon is a drug addict and again mentally ill and humanity will pay the price. Iran will now make nuclear weapons out in the open. As it is I don't see humanity surviving much longer, at least not with out some help. I am not arrogant enough to think we are alone. Who and what a God is a very old saying, As Above So Below. Again it is humanity that gives it power. Our very belief. My days are numbered between Lupus and Cancer but then I have always known I was born with an expiration date as all life is here. Fear of the unknown and do we move on..... To be able to even ask the question.
Thank You for allowing me to share and your patience. I'm sure these guys are like WTH man. I do appreciate them and the hard work they put into this website. My best friend is a black Cat and he is moving on as well and that hurts me more than what I am going through. Once again I get to experience death of a loved one. I lost my son back in 2019 and it feels like yesterday and I am so very tired.
Many are with you. I too lost a son in 96 to a drunk driver. He was only 20 and I feel his presence all of the time. I don’t know what I don’t know but I do know you matter and your words of caring matter.
Thanks for loving animals. We share this planet and it truly is our mother and our bodies will reciprocate in thanks to her when we return to her to bring nurturing to other life unless out of stupidity we destroy her. That is why I am thankful for MTN to provide a place for us to connect collectively.
A law in thermo dynamics my friend is that energy can never be created or destroyed. We are proving it. Love to you and your cat friend.
My native roots, I was raised by my very Native Grandmother and my mom. I too see our mother Earth. Here is a crazy thought for you. I have known since I turned 13 what is coming and the more I learned of the Christian Bible the more I saw it coming. The more I learned of human history the more I saw it coming. History does repeat because humanity allows it. Mother Earth has had enough and humanity is about to learn, hopefully, and, hopefully survive. Everyone is worried about a virus when plastic is actually the death of this "world". The planet will go on with or without humanity. It is this world we have created that will in fact end. Plastic is a small part of what we have done. Human arrogance. At any rate I think this might be my last here. I don't want to come off as, I can't remember the saying now, I hate morphine. But judgemental? I include myself in what has taken place and hold myself responsible as well.
Thank You you have been very helpful to me. I hope and yes pray there are those that will help humanity survive. The snow ball effect has started and it is called Global warming for a reason.
Thank You again!
Evil is what you see because it is so clear. I am pretty much atheist but I believe humans can be incredibly evil and that sick pathetic musk is EVIL.
I'm half "Native" and half Irish I was brought up Episcopalian but only for my mother. I never took that road for myself but I do know the Bible because of it and what people believe or have faith in gives it power. Hate begets hate and that is what they are, something is driving this, call it what you will. Evil does have a name. It wants and needs to be known and it drives Elon. All through the years It has resurfaced almost like in a cycle. Seemingly As soon as humans start to learn and grow. Trump is nothing but a tool like Hitler and always in 3's, Stalin and Mussolini. I could go on a rant I guess and a pointless one at that. Humans put faith and there power into something that feeds on it and gives it power. Bible wise some asshat came along and told of a future IT wanted to happen and now look where we are. Why else tell that future? and btw that asshat if you believe in what the Church says committed suicide by proxy but suicide none the less....sorry And I am very sure I'll be hated here. My days are numbered in months so I shouldn't even care....right? If Elon and his "Top Coder" have had access to your info even for a few hours then he has it in his possession and it is out in the wild. He is now the most powerful man in the USA and has everybody by the balls and I mean everybody. There isn't anybody online he cannot destroy and you would never see it coming. There is no life lock program that can protect you because he already has what he needs and believe me his little nerd knows how to back door and crack open your accounts. Your social security number and date of birth is tied into all your bank accounts. IF Elon was granted access to that S.S. info then he has it. I am not trying to scare people I just want you to be prepared. I hope I am wrong, I really do.
Have you confirmed the story that Musk was being investigated by USAID?
Yeah I seen a clip on substack just today.
Is Trump taking Republicans SS, Medicare, medicaid away. I hope they suffer with the rest of us.
This is right out of "Handmaid's Tale" -- the regime won't be fair, it will hurt some people; but, it's all for the greater good -- and we know the greater good -- That's what we are being told.
Trump is a liar plain and simple. When enough of his devotees hurt bad enough and long enough and possibly decide to take to the streets it'll be a new twist in Trump's diaper. Let them threaten him and them and things will change.
Trump is a real estate guy. A really bad one. It's obvious he want Gaza for himself.
They're even trying to deport Puerto Ricans I have evidence and video that I can show that I went to get my handicap placards and they wanted to send me to Mexico and luckily for me my dad served this country so did my two sons I tried to get a lawyer here in this red state that I live in nobody wants to represent me even though I have a case they tell me I'll have a case but they only deal with auto accidents they don't deal with constitutional rights this is what I'm being told by shady lawyers that work for the red state
Trump, and Musk,,.you’re fired!
Nitenyahu is a war criminal why is he in our capital and WH
Thank you for reporting!
Go Away Musk! Go back to South Africa!
Trump is figuring out that he can't use tarriffs as an excuse to make further tax cuts for billionaires...so, he is going to cut everything else. He wants to make these cuts for the next 10 years. Everyone on social security, Medicare, snap, headstart, housing, assistance, etc GET READY for 10 years of big cuts and the very wealthy getting richer.
Somebody needs to tell Trump that the world can not survive without China. However, the world can survive without the USA.
Give it a REST Trump! It is the Super Bowl weekend and YOU DO NOT MATTER!!! Go Eagles! Go Chiefs!
the next threat will be tariffs unless Canada (etc.) takes hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. Canada will never do this (we already have welcomed willingly thousands of Palestinians who migrated freely) because we join with 70+ nations to reject the ridiculous and deranged notion to create a Riviera in the Mid-East. A spark that could set off another major war that will cost many lives including those of American soldiers.
Does anyone else think Trump and Netanyahu were behind Biden having a hard time declaring a cease fire? Trump has wanted to develop the Palestine coastline for a long time. I posted as such back in November on YouTube. Their plan: Netanyahu the Demolisher and Trump the Builder. Trump's tariffs would pay the bills.

People in the Fed gov't know they can't be fired on a whim. Why did they just roll over and leave? An email doesn't pick you up out of your chair. Were they physically threatened? I can tell my assistant she is fired but she knows I can't do it without documentation so the words are meaningless. I don't get it.
IMO, as more and more of the self-proclaimed King Musktoid's actions go to court, Trump's will tire of sharing the spotlight, and/or discovering he isn't in it at all!
"Trump Just Suffered These Big Losses". (Scott Dworkin)......

I do believe Trump will bring us to World War 3. He keeps threatening all those other countries 🙄!
I’m in Iowa and the major paper is the Des Moines Register. We’re all red from state to federal - but where I live by UofI and parts of Des Moines and Cedar Rapids are blue. They are owned by Gannet. I have to admit they’re so far very nonbias and are informing people as much as possible but more on a state level. I get all mine from Substack, Guardian, Intercept etc.
Trump doesn't "think outside the box" - he is just "out of his box"!
Years ago, the US Military was working on developing its own computer operating system, but the troops having to use it whined that it was “too complicated,” unlike Windows. So, they went back to using WinOS. Problem being, as the geeks state year after year, “You can drive a truck through the holes in NS coding!” So, this bit re administrator privileges is more important longterm.
Agree w how the press sec reads…she sounds like a myself, when I was 12.
We've been at a soft landing for three years. All I heard from extremist magas was, "we're gonna have a recession!!" For the entirety of the Biden Administration. And for the entirety of the Biden Administration, we didn't have a recession. Now watch.
And you don't bully a bully when you say he has no character.

Are you brothers having cocktails behind the scenes LOL.
Funding moves the world. By removing our kindness from other countries means China will enter to fill the gap. This increases trade and is another loss for democracy.
I am proud to support truth and truth is here. I also feel some measure of hope when I feel like there are many of us and we are mighty in number.
Ya Unions!!!!👍👍👍
"Thinking outside the box." God, I needed this laugh today!
I love you guys, but can we please have more serious content and at least a little less banter and yucking it up? Thanks.
Thank you Meidas . I agreed Trump is a mass weapon of destruction . Show more how crazy mental he is.
Keep it up
Trump believes he, and he alone, is the USA. Gaza, if taken over by the US, would be, in Trump's mind, his property.
We have had it in Canada enough of this sheit show and don’t say we didn’t warn you! 😳
I keep thinking about what I can do to disrupt and fight back. Got a message today calling for Economic Blackout Day on 2/28. No purchases for the day. I dropped FB and Instagram, buying only from DEI businesses and doing my part by calling my Senators and congress woman.
Thanks again Meidas!
Love you guys!
So appreciate the truth told..
Don't stop ❤️

That repetition across MAGA world is a key to their success

Trump has absolutely no ability to negotiate. Plus he will try to make “DEALS” in Secret like his traitorous surrender of Afghanistan.
What about King Don’s Sovereign Wealth Fund?
Just came back from the store. Egg prices down $3.00
Our government is entrusted by the American People to PROTECT our country's assets, including our democratic ideals and our lives. THESE CORRUPT and DESTRUCTIVE Republicans are, by betting against Americans, only betting against themselves. The more they destroy ,the more EXPOSED the MAGA GOP and Trump/Musk are. THE MORE VOICES OF TRUTH THAT REVEAL THE GOP’s CONTEMPT FOR AMERICANS, the WEAKER and more HUMILIATED Trump, Musk, and their criminally responsible allies will be. THANK YOU TO THE MEISELAS BROS AND ALL WHO MAKE MEIDAS TOUCH MIGHTY!
There is nothing motivating any of Elon, Trump, or the representatives and other government officials they have corrupted, other than greed and fear that their depravity will lead to theiirhumiliation and demise. Their cynicism is nothing more than a mechanism to self-justify and HIDE their DEPRAVED, anti-social, irresponsible, and truly STUPID actions from Americans and themselves. That is why they express nothing but a SADISTIC CONTEMPT for Americans , especially those not similarly motivated to ERADICATE any evidence that makes these shells of human beings look as greedy and mendacious as they are ("ideals are for sissies"). ANYONE with morals, ethics, and ideals is an enemy.
Thank you Meidas for all you do including Jim Acosta interview!
Want my country back!

Best listen to the Canadian News tonight...the 'Cat is Out of The Bag'...on the bluster of the 51st State. We are now taking it seriously. The Conversation between Trump and Trudeau at 3:00pm this week was tethered with talk of the 51st State.
The Gloves are Off Now...as Canada pivots to embrace the World and places the Blinders on America. We would still like to be your friends but your Orangutan ain't going to swing on our Chandeliers!
Yes courts!!!
I came to hear about big ears.
The Democrats need to do the same thing. They all need to be on the same page and repeat over and over again the same talking point. Drill the same shit.
Wonderful segment! Trump: the emperor has no clothes.
Comment on the podcast of Ben, Brett and Jordy: I actually agree with all of you about how ridiculous the repetition of words and phrases in the Trump universe sounds, BUT we have to admit that repetition of key phrases and words is a big reason why Trump is president and Kamala is not. It works, big time! Please see FrameLab for much more on this vital understanding of how our brains actually work. Dems have it all wrong, which is why our patient explanations of policy don't work. We can, however, change how we communicate and make our words matter. It's a matter of framing and repetition.
Hey guys enjoyed your podcast and I am grateful to have a source for real news. Just wanted to mention that if you all feel the need to bully someone, keep it amongst yourselves. Rubio may have big ears (I haven’t checked for myself), but it’s not germane to anything that’s happening in our world today. And I feel it demeans the excellent work you guys are doing. Thanks and take care. Looking forward to more from you guys.
Trump can’t play tic tac toe let alone checkers or chess.
DMX haha.. this is why we love Ben.
They both need to be stuffed in tRump’s extra, extra large used diaper.
Love you guys!! I need to learn how to communicate with maga family and friends
Orange Stupid Turd, looking like the ones he lays in his extra, extra large diaper.
Thank you for keeping us active and aware. We can't afford to get distracted, or feel powerless. Thought you might appreciate this.

Let's call Eloon's family and ask for them to take him home.
If Iran were to be challenged on their nuclear program they'd soon find a use for it ... nuking the orange Mussolini's GAZA playground for the Rich
Trump and Musk are both Weapons of Mass Distraction- protest outside of the Heritage Foundation building at 214 Massachusetts Ave in DC, and list their board members names - they're the architects of Project 2025 whose instructions to dismantle the government are being followed. Also, protest in the towns in Texas where Musk has operations and family - take the fight to where they work and live!
Cut this joking around bullshit out!!!
IMHO - the insults about Marco Rubio's physical appearance are childish playground name calling, a waste of my time, and a waste of your valuable air time. You lose credibility for what is usually important pro- democracy rews reporting.
Did Musk take over the government because he's not eligble to run for president?
When cameras pan to Trump during Super Bowl, turn the channel briefly
Yes, MSNBC covered the 50 state protests repeatedly and well.
We are still fighting against Project 2025 no matter who the Republican president is. If we get Trump out, impeached, we have VP Vance.
I am so surprised that those that voted for him thought he didn't mean anything he said!!!!!!!!!
Holy shit, I'm just waiting for Hamas to attack us now, what's their response to 🍊🦧 saying the US wants Gaza? Wth ??!!! Wtf is happening??!!! This is complete madness !!!!

Step 3. Ignore the Courts
Step 4. Co-opt Congress
Step 5. Centralize Police & Powers
Step 6. Shut down Elite Media & Academic Institutions
Step 7. Send People to streets, martial law
You mentioned magas talk about owning the libs. I had multiple comments like that regarding a post I made about Musk and his teenage mutant muskateers getting out info from the Treasury. They like it?! "He's owning the libs!" Strange!!!
We live in the land of lies and deceit. We need to be shaken to the core of our ethics and push back to only use our dollar power to support free media, local owned restaurants, local farmer markets and BUY NOTHING to make the Trump economy know real pain.
Seems to me that Trump's administration is filled with DEI hires: Bondi, Leavitt, Gabbard, Noem, Stefanik, Patel and Rubio. Violating his own anti-DEI policies.🤔
And now Fuentes wants to run for office.
Go Jordy
Once again Deadbeat Donnie has started his term by listening to the little troll whispering in his ear and encouraging him who to hurt and that he has authorities that are not his. Resulting in a new record of the lowest possible approval from even Republicans. This is the chaos that we tried to warn people about and of course we were right. Elect a criminal and get criminal behavior. Deadbeat Donnie has a long history of ignoring laws until caught and now it seems that the spineless GOP is still making excuses for it. The voting through of Russell Vought makes them complicit in his imperial president theory that's been denounced by legal scholars and constitutional scholars alike. It's clearly a hostile takeover of the federal government by the Heritage Foundation and the GOP's furthest right wing extremists which has decided that if they can't convince you to run the government the way they want to they'll just force it down our throat. I guess we don't have to wonder anymore why they're always talking about relitigating the Civil War and the result of their losses.
Trump love song to Elon. "I'm you puppet".
Has Trump missed a day in front of the camera. He'll no! Egotistical nut job.
I swear INGRAHAM looks, thinks and acts like a reincarnated soldier overseeing the camps circa 1942.
Putz ; really good description for Kayleigh whatshername.
So they've all been given a script. Trump is still in (not)reality TV mode.
MTN is the best! Thank you💙Thank you! I will never stop appreciating our brave brothers!
Who is reporting on the blocking of congress members trying to get into Ed dept? With armed guard behind door? All the comments were from Republicans saying how great it is. Do they not understand Musk is taking over the Ed department to shut it down??

t-Rump & his Queenie musk acting like a king. Cuz he’s too WEAK to be a President!
you guys are the best!! I feel better knowing your voices are out there speaking the truth!
We're heading for martial law. Just watch as the protest begins. Oh, that was they're playing all along.
Checking to see who the countries of U.S.A.I.D., recipients were/are. The information was/is the entire continent of Africa of 54 territories/ countries, it makes sense why geography wasn't thought properly in schools. It seems possible A..IDS stood for Africa...25 million plus infected...ongoing GMO seeds, givibg/buying. The gift givers that keep on giving. The African continent is known as a third world nations poverty-stricken, diseased etc., yet the rare earth abound beneath their feet and their resources being studied and researched on the daily. Dude comes out of S.A., a bone of care.
Make it make sense!
I've been watching Midas Touch on you tube since you began. I have a lot of respect for you but have one huge problem which prevents me from subscribing in substack and that is the lack of women's presence. It's another alliteration of the bro' s show.

Trump lovers really run with the “he won’t do what he says” and then get upset when he does what he said he was going to do. It’s wild to watch.
Thank you so much for fighting back with the truth. This democracy is in trouble in my opinion. I hope we all can find a way to stop this.
Thank you for all that you are doing!
I am afraid for my son. He is an elementary art teacher.
To be honest with you I think they're trying to get all that information and all that data to be able for Elon Musk to give our information to the Nazi German And for them to take over the US this way they'll have papers and also how come in red states the Amish can live like normal people even though they don't have any papers they say that they're religion covers them just because they're saying that their religious what about the Mexican Americans and all Hispanics are living in this country that are legally able to live here and we're the ones that are getting stomped on by people that are spreading hate and lies

I noticed on Rumble Donald Trump's always selling something or his wife or his kids also there's a lot of eyes that are being spread with people that work for Donald Trump there's a few idiots there that are spreading lies and hate and if you want to see everything that Donald Trump is trying to sell and rip off people by check out Rumble
Is Trump raffling off eggs? 🤔
Musk rats are called Doge bags.
Taken from “Pod Save America”. lol
Putz haha. You go jordy
I don't understand how so many forget history such as you are showing and discussing. Well, it's not that they forget it. They ignore it. But there are the ones who if educated will vote better in 2028. The next four years must be an education of the American people by us all who knows the truth and facts and can delineate between right and wrong.
I contacted Senators Schiff and Padilla about getting Elon Musk out of our government. Elon needs to be thrown out!
Thank you for bringing up Curtis Yarvin and his influence on SV Trump supporters and JD Vance. Everyone should listen to his interview on NYT and read his stuff. It’s chilling as a mirror to what’s happening.
Keep up the good work. MeidasTouch and its affiliates are all the news I need.
Sooner or later the sloth will make an impeachable grave error!
I understand…
Don't hold your breath. - He enjoys absolute immunity.
Something I am afraid, SCOTUS has not envisioned during their decision. Maybe THEY broke the constitution by voiding the mere possibility of impeachments...
And maybe Levitt is a natural blond!

Need to turn AIDS on these Trump idiots and then deny their pleas for AIDS relief! See how they react to denials of Relief to their own detriment!!!
And then there is the delivery of $100,000 worth of pacifiers to Putin.
Like the delivery of 2 boxes of Viagra to the White House.
TRUMP IS THE BOX!!!
Yes... Trump, Musk, Oligarchs, the Republican Congress and using FOX'S are trying to do a coup inside the government without using military force. Hopefully, we can keep Trump from causing a state of emergency if you will. Smart resistance is a necessity!
All I can say is if you don't have your birth certificate GET IT NOW. You will need it to vote in the future.
Go away MAGA! You are pathetic!
