The only smart voters were Democrats. And it's extremely disturbing that so many didn't vote!
But his voters are still singing the same song. I just blocked a magat after a more than 50 year friendship because all he had in his toolbox was "woke libs" and so much more bullshit. I finally had enough stupid and blocked his stupid ass everywhere.
It's too bad that people let politics end friendships and destroy families. I am a Dem. and have several Rep. friends. We just do NOT discuss politics because it won't change anybody's mind. I had a good friend who was a Republican and made some disparaging remarks about Dems Iold him I was a Dem and from that time on he wouldn't answer any of my emails. After 3 I quit sending. We had been friends for many, many years and to let politics end that friendship was very disappointing.
For me it's not about politics. For some reason Trump supporters, generally, at least in my life, won't shut up about him. Then, they get upset with me bc I am letting "politics" ruin our friendship or family ties. So be it - yeah, it's me not them. Whatever. I am sorry your friend picked Trump over you. Says a lot about your friend.
frankly, I don't understand. These repugnants have different values, morals, and lack of empathy for far too many of our fellow citizens. I do not have friends that are against everything I believe and stand for. Democrats fail to stand for anything, and that is why we lost across the board. Too many corporate Dems, whom I hope will be voted out and dedicated public servants elected, if we ever get a chance to have a legitimate election.
Same here - it's just not worth it - feels as if I am compromising my integrity and moral fiber if I continue in a relationship with them. Everyone has to do what is right for them. For me, it's - I just can't.
How so? Their heads are buried in the propaganda machine. Everything they hear and are told will confirm to them that their hardship was put upon them by Democrats, Biden and Democrat policies of the last four years. They will be told as they are now that it may take years to free their country of Democrat polices and the destruction caused by the Biden crime family. In the meantime 2025 will be executed and the oligarchs will become more and more prominent. The coming inflation and job losses will all be blamed on the same Democrat polices and Biden. That narrative will continue for years. They will never hear it. Their empty skulls are a reverberation chamber for fascists, dictators, oligarchs and authoritarians. I'm sorry but they will not respond to the fascist overlords for years to come as you suggest.
We need to stand firm and tell these people that Trump is in charge - or soon will be, officially - and it's his sandbox now. Prices stabilized under Biden. Inflation came down from 9.2 to 2.3 percent under Biden. Unemployment was at a 50 year low under Biden. The stock market boomed under Biden. There was no recession under Biden. Bridges and roads and internet were built under Biden. Now Trump has taken over and it's gone to hell. Just keep repeating that.
The comfort and hope I am getting is from the world outside USA. We did not expect the events in South Korea or Syria. More and more of this sort of events will happen. We do not live in vacuum and as Josh Marshall of TPM said, Presidential power is unitary. Weaken him here, he will be weak everywhere. His buddy Putin will soon see the window and feel the "g", I think.
A lot of his voters are not dumb people. But they have the means to get everything Trump and Co block and prevent general US public from, from outside the US. We have EU residency, properties in two EU nations. This morning my husband I talked about we can get our routine vaccines here in Rome or in Lisbon. They are not dumb but simply selfish evil.
You are talking about a minority of citizens. Most of us have never traveled outside the USA. Certainly, even those of average means who do a cruise, do not actually learn anything about other places. Good for you; residency, properties. That tells me you are far above my economic status in life. I was exactly the type of person who is currently repuglican; evangelical, working class, high school grad. After getting my degrees, and a period of 10 years of deconstruction of the religion, I am now socialist knowing capitalism does not deliver for the average worker. So no, most are just dumb. the ones with money who support this nazi-like movement are the evil persons.
Loved the video of Macron and Tusk making humor of trump and his pathetic macho handshake. Is it possible to hope that world leaders will freeze him out - give him no platforms or credibility. Reading that NATO members are discussing increasing the %GDP required for military support to NATO. And reading that NATO is discussing (recognizing publicly) the need to be better prepared for threats from Russia. Are these indications that trump's ability to threaten NATO is much reduced. If only there were some leaders in the U.S. who would stand up to him.
Remember when info from certain nations that wrote us of barriers to tha Felon’s not being able to enter their countries because of the felonious crime committed?
The money saved in Medicare and Medicaid is supposed to go back to them so they’re not a drain on the programs. I liked the real Bidenomics, it got us back to economic #1 in the world, created jobs, and was on the way to lowering deficit. All good in my book.
Do people in the disaster areas know that their relief is being held back by MAGA? If not, that message must get to them ASAP before MAGA lies and re-writes history!
I live in Florida, MAGA country, where people are still waiting for help from FEMA and are threatening FEMA workers. They don't understand, nor do I think they care, how FEMA gets their money. They just want someone to help them rebuild their house. I don't think they'd believe that the people they voted for are the ones screwing them. I'm pretty sure they just blame Biden.
That's where we come in. We should inform them of the truth. If they ignore it, I say shake the dust off my sandals and move on. I won't help a one of them. they deserve their misery. After all, they don't care about the rest of our misery.
I’ve wondered that many times. How in any world are they sooo gullible as to believe anything that comes out of his mouth? I do believe though that a reckoning is coming to them. Maybe when their children are starving or they can’t afford to pay for their home, car or more importantly food! Surely even they suffer as we do, when it comes to affording anything, any more. I’m so sinful though that I constantly pray for an end to him, one way or another! I don’t specify, I just want him gone.
I just wish he were dead along with his minions. Maybe someday right? I'm not afraid to say it either. Better to die a freeman than to suffer the boot of a dictator.
As I said, many of us do as well. So much so that it probably isn't healthy. That is why I am limiting my exposure to him. I cannot stand his face, his voice, his hair, his stupid ties, his family, his Mar-a-Lago crowd. I could go on.
Ha. that's not sinful (I reject the idea of god anyway, what a mass of contradictions and inconsistencies the entire mythical entity is) it's rational. I hate trump. I wish termination of him and all these entire billionaire nazis, including the scum repugnants in congress, and let's throw in the liars in the media as well.
Like many of us out here, you must have Trump voters in your life that are oblivious to reality. No matter what you say, it doesn't compute to them. Cultlike for sure.
Personally, I think Trump voters are mostly racist and misogynistic. Not a popular reason but I think it's true - at least in my experience. Oh they say the economy but can't really say anything but gas, eggs, drugs, immigrants! They make no sense but they will say I am not a racist - race has nothing to do with it - yeah sure Jan. Democrats in Congress are not much help here. They start with we know prices are high .... Democrats need to be on offensive and are always trying to gain traction with the media - never happens.
You Guys Rock!! Thank You for sharing this podcast for Free, because you have a lot of people out there that can't afford to Pay for News these days. Good Job and will reStack ASAP 🙏💯👍😘
I also want to thank you … as a paid subscriber I love that you also open your network to those that can’t financially support you at this time. Kinda the opposite of the Democratic Party who wants me to constantly pay for my opinion
House MAGAs are taking a cue from NC MAGAs who also passed a 'hurricane relief' bill with no hurricane relief but plenty of power grabs that strip authority away from Democratic Governor-Elect Josh Stein, Democratic AG-Elect Jeff Jackson, and Democratic Supervisor of Public Instruction Mo Green.
Remember, the power grabs and cruelty are the point with these low-lifes.
They have free access to the postal service. They have email they could use to call to action and inform instead of the idiotic emails they send out asking for money. I am sick of that. One way conversation. I unsub to each as they come in.
The red voters in my rural virginia county have a fb group - they are clearly not getting the same news. They are fully in on trump and everthing he says and does. Remorse is not happening. Every time I try to tell them anything, they go for my jugular and call me a liar.
Yesterday's ringing the bell at the Stock Exchange, was priceless! An omen of things to come! DJT, BEG, BEG, President Biden for an absolute pardon, and step away from the presidency. Live out your remaining days, months, years, golfing, eating, traveling, and drinking whatever you want, and give the country back to those who had no trouble turning the economy around, bolstering the Stock Exchange, and stabilizing world affairs. After all, that is why you ran, to stay OUT OF JAIL. You know it. We know it, and you know you want it. Be smart for once in your life. You know you're inadequate for running our great country. Negotiate and structure a for a full pardon for yourself. Live your last days, months years on earth a free and blissfully happy man. Do yourself a favor....!
I can assure you, if you proceed, we, United State Citizens, will make every day your in the Whitehouse a dramatic challenge and your sleeping hours will be spent deprivation. Who's with me?
Love the Meidas Touch. You guys are doing so much. This is probably too big of an ask, but here it goes. Please have links below your videos/podcasts so that I have the info to write to my congressmen and senators. In theory I could watch/listen and then retrace your research, and then look up if my congressmen/senator was involved in whatever crazy thing they are doing, and then write to them/share on social to my neighbors. But, in reality, I work full time, I commute, I’m raising my kids, and trying to start my own business, so I end up listening while driving/watching at work and then clicking on the next podcast/video and not letting my representatives or neighbors know what is going on. I’m in MAGA-land so I need to be armed with facts, because I’m surrounded by people steeped in the right-wing swamp brain rot propaganda. Last weekend I had to endure a parade of pickups waving flags equating Chump with Jesus. A local hair dresser is being slandered on Facebook for making a video saying she was sad that Harris lost. Please have links to: articles of news that you mention, the actual bills if possible or bill numbers in Congress being proposed so that I can reference them in letters. Then I could write a letter that says “Dear Congressmen/Senator Shameful, I am disappointed in your vote on bill #4547 to end a basic human right. Or for your participation to aid, abet and harbor child sex traffickers by voting to not release the Matt Snakes ethics report.”
You are so much stronger than I fear I could be in the face of what you encounter! Bravo! I know there are many pockets of tRump followers in my area however it's mostly flags on homes, a few on p/u trucks, nothing as "in the face" as you describe. Of course I'm in a blue state and sure hope it stays this way. Stay strong.
I had a little bit of time today because it's the weekend. I looked up the Direct File letter and saw that my congressman from Idaho wasn't one of the 27. Next, I went to his page on the house.gov website and wrote to him anyway: "Please tell your colleagues, the 27 House Republicans who wrote the letter urging Direct File to be ended on day one by Executive Action, that it would harm the American people. I like the free tax filing services from the IRS known as Direct File. Most Americans like not having to go through a for-profit company to do a government task."
Thank you for not posting Trump's face and voice. Whenever I see or hear him, I see red and literally get sick to my stomach. I have never hated anyone as much as I hate him. He is destroying this country and is now selling us out to the highest bidder. It's so infuriating! If foreign leaders can stand up to him and call out his idiocy, why can't our Democratic leaders? What are they afraid of? If you don't have the balls to stand up to Trump, step down and let someone who does take over. Get your head out of your ass and do something!
Smart voters understood from the get-go that Trump was lying about everything. Now his own voters are finding out,
The only smart voters were Democrats. And it's extremely disturbing that so many didn't vote!
But his voters are still singing the same song. I just blocked a magat after a more than 50 year friendship because all he had in his toolbox was "woke libs" and so much more bullshit. I finally had enough stupid and blocked his stupid ass everywhere.
I'm too old to listen to lies from stupid people.
Well said. I hope others take your queue.

Congarats - I blocked an entire cousin for the same idiot assed reasons.
I too have been culling long-standing friendships and winding down and away from family members that support the orange one.
It's too bad that people let politics end friendships and destroy families. I am a Dem. and have several Rep. friends. We just do NOT discuss politics because it won't change anybody's mind. I had a good friend who was a Republican and made some disparaging remarks about Dems Iold him I was a Dem and from that time on he wouldn't answer any of my emails. After 3 I quit sending. We had been friends for many, many years and to let politics end that friendship was very disappointing.
It is not politics. It is like being friends with people with no moral or ethical values. It is a bridge too far for me.
✌🏾✊🏾
Same for me but everyone has to deal with the Trumpers in their lives in their own way.
For me it's not about politics. For some reason Trump supporters, generally, at least in my life, won't shut up about him. Then, they get upset with me bc I am letting "politics" ruin our friendship or family ties. So be it - yeah, it's me not them. Whatever. I am sorry your friend picked Trump over you.

Your friend is a clown 🤡

I am with you.
Completely understand.
I heard that
Good for you. Just wait! The Republicans are going to get what they did.
We Don’t know how many voted. ! 10,000,000 voters jusf decided to not vote! I seriously doubt it! Just count the votes !
You think you voted !
Did you ?
How so? Their heads are buried in the propaganda machine. Everything they hear and are told will confirm to them that their hardship was put upon them by Democrats, Biden and Democrat policies of the last four years.

Sad but true. Most of us live and learn. MAGAs just live.
I'm sure you're right and it is so sad. We are so fucked.
100%
We need to stand firm and tell these people that Trump is in charge - or soon will be, officially - and it's his sandbox now. Prices stabilized under Biden.

Bridges and roads and internet were built under Biden. Now Trump has taken over and it's gone to hell. Just keep repeating that.
We must break through when Trump's negative policies hurt the voters who supported him. We must post on social media each time it happens.
The comfort and hope I am getting is from the world outside USA. We did not expect the events in South Korea or Syria. More and more of this sort of events will happen. We do not live in vacuum and as Josh Marshall of TPM said, Presidential power is unitary. Weaken him here, he will be weak everywhere.

Remember when info from certain nations that wrote us of barriers to tha Felon’s not being able to enter their countries because of the felonious crime committed?
Yes, his passport is supposed to be no good in certain countries.
I wondered that. Why are they letting this scumbag into their countries?
nor should it be not even HERE!
I understand they are working on it. Nato specifically.
I agree
Where are those leaders.
The silence is very scary and very concerning to me
The money saved in Medicare and Medicaid is supposed to go back to them so they’re not a drain on the programs. I liked the real Bidenomics, it got us back to economic #1 in the world, created jobs, and was on the way to lowering deficit. All good in my book.
I believe trump voters deserve to live the results of their votes. But, I resent that my rights will be ruined too.
Agree 💯.
Do people in the disaster areas know that their relief is being held back by MAGA? If not, that message must get to them ASAP before MAGA lies and re-writes history!

Facts not Fox
Are any voters for Trump even aware of anything that goes on with him? You got to wonder how ignorant can they get!
If they are only watching Fox Propaganda channel, they are clueless!
I’ve wondered that many times. How in any world are they sooo gullible as to believe anything that comes out of his mouth? I do believe though that a reckoning is coming to them. Maybe when their children are starving or they can’t afford to pay for their home, car or more importantly food! Surely even they suffer as we do, when it comes to affording anything, any more.

I just wish he were dead along with his minions. Maybe someday right? I'm not afraid to say it either. Better to die a freeman than to suffer the boot of a dictator.
I completely agree with you. He is a dangerous POS. I hate Trump with every fiber of my being
So do i
As I said, many of us do as well. So much so that it probably isn't healthy. That is why I am limiting my exposure to him. I cannot stand his face, his voice, his hair, his stupid ties, his family, his Mar-a-Lago crowd. I could go on.
I have often wished he would move to Russia. And yes it is hard to believe that they believe his BS. Unfortunately we will all pay the price.
Without Trump doing Putins dirty work here, he has no use for him.
Me too , and as far as feeling guilty , people get what they deserve, I'll never feel guilty. It's normal 🤷🏾
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this.
Me too!
Ha. that's not sinful (I reject the idea of god anyway, what a mass of contradictions and inconsistencies the entire mythical entity is) it's rational. I hate trump. I wish termination of him and all these entire billionaire nazis, including the scum repugnants in congress, and let's throw in the liars in the media as well.
Like many of us out here, you must have Trump voters in your life that are oblivious to reality. No matter what you say, it doesn't compute to them. Cultlike for sure.
Definitely. You can’t even explain it to them. They do not even know, and don’t seem to want to!
Personally, I think Trump voters are mostly racist and misogynistic. Not a popular reason but I think it's true - at least in my experience. Oh they say the economy but can't really say anything but gas, eggs, drugs, immigrants! They make no sense but they will say I am not a racist - race has nothing to do with it - yeah sure Jan. Democrats in Congress are not much help here. They start with we know prices are high .... Democrats need to be on offensive and are always trying to gain traction with the media - never happens.
It's about time for a hurricane to pass through Mar-A-Lago!
Ah, now I hadn’t thought of that. That would be interesting. Just as long as no one’s hurt.
Why? Anyone there at MAL is not a friend to America anyway. Let the lot of them vanish.
I know. Unfortunately, most of the recent hurricanes have hit the gulf coast where I live.

Today’s podcast at the end was a bit of a downer.
I agree the Democrats need to get loud, but how do we as the people make that happen?
Both my senators are republican and we know what that means .
You think Biden and Harris could motivate the Congress to be more outspoken.
Don’t you all have anyone in the Congress to express this message to the Democrats?
The Republicans are going to follow their king and the Democrats need to defy him for the good of the people!!
Though many people put this king in place!!
Sadly it appears they are more interested in retaining their power than serving their government.
Loud where? MSM? No one will listen.
They have free access to the postal service. They have email they could use to call to action and inform instead of the idiotic emails they send out asking for money. I am sick of that. One way conversation. I unsub to each as they come in.
