Trump believes, based on his success conning the American people, that he is the most charming, convincing man in the world. So it probably never occurred to him that Putin, erstwhile head of KGB, would record every word of their conversations. Putin is as cutthroat as Trump. If Trump turns on Putin we’ll hear it all.

In case you missed it, top aide to Putin, Nikolai Patrushev, said, “To achieve success in the election, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has certain obligations….. he will be obliged to fulfill them.”

So much for defending Ukraine from Russia. If you visit Reagan’s grave, you could probably feel the vibrations of his attempt to escape.

Yes! That visit Donald had.with the urinating prostitutes? That's really kinky

That's too naive and innocent to yield the results we've seen - to which he could easily claim was "fake news." I'm thinking the situation is far more akin to the Nevada Senator in Godfather ll...

I think that Putin is smart enough to get everything taken from DT. There's no way Putin isn't laughing his arse off.

You are doing something just by being here on MeidasTouch and supporting this network. Spend your money more carefully. If you shop online, look for products made in Canada. Write to your representatives. If you are able to, attend a rally. Bring a friend. Whenever you have a choice, do business with the people the Republicans are trying to cancel. I have to believe that my small acts of resistance can make an impact.

Expand full comment

I am doing all of that already, except finding products made in Canada. Any tips on how to do that? I make donations to many org., attend rallies and bring friends, shop when possible at ethical companies, contact Rep.and Senators often, am active with local Dems. I will continue and hope, but am still afraid of what is happening every day.

Absolutely I agree with you. I try and do whatever I can, go to rallies etc and I will not shut up! 👍☮️

Reese, only you and your fellow Americans can stop the trump administration by protesting so hard that he is forced to resign. Canadians will do our best to help by pushing back on Tariffs and annexation talk as hard as possible. We don't want to but we have to cause as much pain as possible to red state businesses and MAGA voters. It's the only thing we can do to help weaken them and make it easier for you to do your job.

I would like to point out that Elizabeth Warren is also out on the road speaking to audiences in republican areas about what the administration is doing, just like Bernie, so hopefully you're covering her speeches too.

Why aren't other democrats following Al Green's lead? Why aren't other democrats supporting Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren? Jamie Raskin, AOC and Jasmine Crockett are doing fantastic jobs as well.

Also Eric Swalwell, Pramilaa Jayapal, Gavin Newsom (CA) Kathy Hochul (NY) Jared Polis (CO) and more ARE networking and refusing to be bullied!

Ok great food Elizabeth thank you both Bernie and Elizabeth!!! YAY

Expand full comment

I adore Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. Both are politicians who genuinely care about protecting and improving the lives of the American people. I loved her idea while campaigning to tax the wealthy 2%, but that idea made her an instant enemy and target of the rich. God forbid that billionaires should even pay a small amount. FFS, none would've even felt that 2%, but many millions of Americans would've benefited greatly. Their ugly greed and selfishness are utterly repulsive.

She was here in Austin with congressmen Lloyd Doggett and Gregorio Casar at a very well attended rally!

Yes Texas needs more of this👍

Expand full comment

Good point. But what is meant by "we are covering"? Does Meidas haved a reporter at these events? I went to the archive, set it to latest, and scrolled through looking for a headline with Sanders in it and couldn't find any. What gives? Navigating SubStack is not the easiest for one thing, but still, where's the beef - ooopps the articles or videos of the Sanders' speeches?

I love Meidas & appreciate everything you do but I do have to admit that Rachel MADDOW on MSNBC spends 5-10 minutes each night showing Protests & Town Halls.

Rachel is a shining star! That said, many cannot afford the outrageous price of cable/network news channels. Thankfully I can handle internet $$ and have access to info like Meidas and clips from Maddow in the days after her program airs.

Rachel Maddow is awesome.

Expand full comment

Yes, she is great. Has she covered Bernie or Elizabeth?

Expand full comment

More Democratic Senators and congressman should be out there holding town halls in Republican area. They’re not. They should be doing this on weekends for now to let people know they’re not alone, what’s going on, and what they can do. The gatherings and protests will get louder and bigger which will frighten the Republicans and the orange turd.

That’s how we get louder.

Expand full comment

Well, if they don't, then we should.

Expand full comment

Well, we have to coordinate since we live in different states. So we have to coordinate and meet somewhere and make it so it’s l on the same day, say a Saturday. I have no problem doing that.

Expand full comment

50501 is coordinating protests. We need much more publicity for them so people know when and where to show up.

Exactly. If people don’t know, they won’t show up.

In D.C. We could find our way there.

You want a TOWN HALL MEETING?

Then set up a Town Hall Meeting without your representative. Hold the meeting and let everyone share. Take notes/meeting minutes. Send the official Meeting Minutes to their offices. Post them in newspapers and on every social media or other media you can. Make sure to put at the top who the representative was that did not show and where the town hall meeting was held. Then just report on what happened and all the concerns and questions. Keep the pressure on even if they want to hide!

Then go out and contact a Democrat in your State and invite them to come talk in your district to answer questions to you. I will bet you they will show up!

And soon! Before it is too late.

Yes they should. Each time I get their emails asking for donations, I tell them to earn what money they receive and get out there.

Expand full comment

Exactly. I get emails daily for donations but what are they doing anything?

Expand full comment

All that does is make me switch off - I contribute & then the result is 10 more emails also asking for cash ? It's never ending - makes me mad, and of course since I'm retired & on SSec I can't just keep giving more & more !!!

Expand full comment

When I get texts asking for political donations, I type “STOP” and delete/report it as junk.

I even had one email "suggesting" ,very pointedly, that I contribute $100 - in most people's books that is their food bill for the week or more, it just keeps getting more demanding !!! Grr !

EXACTLY!!!

I’m in the same boat. I give what I can and that’s it. I’m on SS as well. I get emails from different organizations after that.

Expand full comment

Exactly why I don't donate. I'm frightened 76.

Expand full comment

I contributed & volunteered during the election last fall. The Dem party began emailing me incessantly. I finally did an “unsubscribe”. On the page where they asked me why, I replied with the following:

Not once have I seen an accounting of how any of the contributed funds were used/spent. As a professional who has managed projects, dealt with budgets and ROI’s I’m a little surprised. I am a lifelong unaffiliated voter, DEEPLY committed to the continuation of our Republic and wondering just how we get out the mess in which we find ourselves? Throwing $$ did not/does not appear to work and the asks just keep coming. How are you spending our $$?

As you probably already suspect, there was no reply or follow up, just crickets. I vehemently stand behind my unaffiliated status.

On unwanted text messages, reply back saying, STOP 2END

And on unwanted emails, scroll to bottom and hit unsubscribe.

Most Democrats don't want to rock the boat, for 2 years the voters hamstrung them. If their elections come up DT can make sure you don't win, but the way things are going they will win. Chaos first

Expand full comment

I disagree with the strategy. We can't wait for two years. Those Dems that are smart are going to be out there now, making a name for themselves. If they don't, voters will just say, "Where were you when this started?"

Expand full comment

I agree. They need to be speaking to Americans. Now more than ever. People are scared and Democrats should be out there speaking to them. The reason they lost is because exactly that, come out 6 months before the election and expect to win.

Kudos to Bernie Sanders as he is, and has been, mostly a lone wolf in fighting for the American people. The rest of them seem to be "waiting", like Garland did. We all see how well that went.

Expand full comment

Look around - they are popping up everywhere. You aren't going to see it on the mainstream MAGA media as they want us all asleep, demoralized, lying down, staying quiet and doing what we are told.

There are many Democrats out in the streets, holding meetings, on YouTube, on social media, talking to content creators, and if they are not - then reach out to them and ask them. Ask our previous leaders where they are and what they are doing?

If they are doing things, then join a group and if there isn't one to join in your area, form one and network with the other groups. For more suggestions and links to all these things, check out my substack. I post the links in my daily posts on my substack: https://substack.com/@techiam

I think that they, like Meidas, are only using strongly-worded messages. No actions. Dems are too weak, not like Mitch McConnell or even Tommy Tuberville, who shut down nominations for almost a year. Dems won’t use the tools available to them to at least slow down things and disrupt. Why? They seem complicit. YOU ARE SO RIGHT!

My 2 senators from Virginia, Kaine and Warner, both voted for many of Trump’s HORRIBLE nominees, who are currently destroying our democracy. Why? I have phoned them many times expressing my dismay and chastising them.

Despite having Project 2025 over a year, Dems had no plan. Despite saying Trump was a fascist, they had no unified plan in case Trump got elected. Even after the Nov. election, they had time to plan a strong opposition, but NO. They did not. Why? Weak leadership in Schumer and Jeffries. Very troubling.

The audacity to say to shut up when all they ever talked about was high prices during President Biden’s term. When we all knew it was due to inflation because of all the money we printed because of the pandemic. And prices were going down. And now they shot up again because of this orange menaces policies and stupidity. I just don’t understand why those idiots that support the orange menace aren’t at the minimum, tired of the lies and the hypocrisy.

5 Million Patriots was started to bring, by at latest sometime in April, five million citizens to Washington, DC, to STAY UNTIL: MUSK is expelled; and, TRUMP and VANCE are impeached, convicted and removed. The pressure on Congress, especially the Senate, will come from constituents in all 50 states. The Five Million Patriots will be in the streets and public spaces in DC every day, in support of this pressure, until these three removals occur.
