  3. I agree with your comment up to the littoral part. I wanted to joke that trump was riparian instead, but that's my identity; I don't want to share with him. (To be honest, I was sure littoral is a word, just not the word, so I looked it up.) djt hardly ever completes a whole sentence since 2016. Before that I didn't hear him outside of his TV promotional announcements. I think it's decay of whatever smarts he may have once had. More than that, I believe djt speaks in hints and partial statements because he identifies as a mob boss. He uses a lot of "wink, wink; nudge, nudge" indirectness. (Plucking gesture with sound effect comes to mind.) And I mean that literally, not figuratively!

  36. When MN legislature voted pay raises for top officials and judges, Walz declined his raise, leaving it for the next MN Gov in the manner of the 1992 ratified 27th Amendment for feds, which was written in 1789 and listed ahead of our 1st Amendment in James Madison's corrections list that mostly became our Bill of Rights.

  43. Hatriot movement! How had I not heard that yet? John Avlon's support for civics literacy in high school grads is heartening, but it'll take an Amendment to standardize K - 12 education! I'm for it: I want freshman biology and sex ed included; some kind of flexible addition of more science would be good. It'll be another long battle over states rights.

  46. And Dana Bash didn't get an "A" on her math quiz when she told each candidate the age they would be at end of 2nd term and trump somehow came out 6 years younger than Biden rather than 2 and a half or 3 !!!

  47. Vote Lucas Kunce, Missouri! Fire Josh Hawley!

  48. I'm sure sorry for the lack of Lucas Kunce replacing Twinkletoes Lobbyist Hawley! Hawley's trying to carpetbag his Heritage way to the White House!

  53. ​ @camelsheit_on_the_walls446  sometimes I accident(al)ly bump the icon that changes comment order to "newest", or reversed consecutive listing, from "top", a sequence based on The Algorithm's ranking of most relevant / titillating / inflammatory first. [I'm sure YouTube/Google would describe their target for prioritized comment placement as "engaging"; which is their neutral, virtuous goal, to keep us online for maximum ad exposure.] I've also commented and scrolled through to be surprised by my own comment tucked into its humble place. That's how I learned selecting "newest" on purpose only lasted for the current video. Also, if I close a comments section and open it later, it holds my place in the list until I close the app & reopen it (, or go to another video and come back - I'm still not sure.) My own addition will also still be displayed on top in my own phone if I feel an urge to edit. AND you may be right: YouTube may be messing with us on a more detailed level than I care to contemplate. [Ask Adam Conover or Pod Save America, here on YouTube.]

  54. Initiate ranked choice voting! If we get that, we can have third parties! Enact the National Popular Vote Compact!

  55. Thanks for digging, Ben! Drumpf's bleats of, "Banks got their money! No one was shorted! Everybody's happy!" ring hollow. Not surprising.

  63. I'd wondered if this was on trump's, um, skull when I saw the rally signs behind him saying "Back the Blue" on black background. That interview clip of djt offering police complete immunity tells me yes! [ If that was a month ago, maybe not this case specifically! ] Deputy instructed Sonja to remove the threat of an active stove burner, then acted as if she was starting trouble! 😡🤬😡 I wonder if Sonja Massey would be alive if she'd said "bless your heart" instead of a scary threatening word like "rebuke"

  64. MTN's Suri Crow says an app called Goods Unite Us can help with consumer activism by delineating political donations of vendors (many play both sides), and helping us to shop with those we most want to support!

  65. ​ @annelousteau9799  BTC just said his channel's being de - emphasized by YT. I like to run playlists of Brian's Español channel sometimes when a phone's plugged in charging. I don't habla, but have Spanish speaking kin and want all my neighbors to be able to find his work. Now I need to run extra playlists of his English work as well!
    2
  66. Heck, I'd be impressed with limiting top executive pay to 100x the lowliest grunt's in the same company! Much more than twice the guaranteed basic income is righteous, to encourage aspirations! Tax rates approved by Sanders and Warren will be a marvelous first step, and possibly adequate to a generous treasury!

  67. ​ @helensanocky8591  I wondered about concussions! At RNC, I thought he's been ripping t-shirts long enough to know it's easy if you clip the neck ribbing and the hem stitching! Less effective to come out of the t-shirt like struggling to escape a straight jacket!

  72. Kinzinger also retired. Not clear on Romney: left mid - term, or retiring at end of one. Romney's a senator, if that matters.

  73. Thank you much for the details, Coach D! Why would tRump worry if his allies check ID on a paid sex partner? He wouldn't either!

  74. Vote Save America can help point us into persuading our neighbors. Please help. I've resolved to campaign for Lucas Kunce to replace Josh Hawley as Missouri senator. And to anyone worried about Biden's age, I can't wait to say: I'm OK with Kamala!

  83. Yeah, I unsubscribed from Young Turks when Crooked Media / Pod Save nudged 'em off my schedule. The prolific Popok needs to go change some diapers. Heck he probably is, and I do appreciate his expertise. But AF After Dark is cut from things I often heard earlier. But not always, so, sigh. We have to work to find Ken, Politics Girl, Lights On, and Jason Kander.

  84. Gorgonzola's pretty posh! I like Daily Show asking trump, about his insistence that Harris wasn't black while publicly acknowledging her Indian half, hasn't he ever heard of a Goldendoodle? Goldendoodle for President!

  85. Woody Guthrie & Pete Seeger. Love Arlo, could recite Alice's Restaurant as a fifth grader, but I can't let you substitute him for the hard hitting 50's activist.

  86. 4:49 BS, Michael !! The office of the Presidency has no dignity to save after djt has his way with it a second time! Prosecuting, sentencing, and imprisoning this wrong doer will restore a small fraction of the office's dignity! If only!

Ben, and Bret or whoever edited the Meet the Press clip, once again cut off and glossed over, just before trump's announcement that Health Care Insiders are writing his health care plan! This should concern us all! None of my news folks are emphasizing this!

  98. Forgot who I first heard say that Fetterman should show up in a tan suit. Now I'm thinking up a hybrid tan suit with lapels and a hood on the jacket, plus shorts! Edit: I put this up before the image of Drumpf as Marilyn Manson arrived, then thought, "that serves me right." My brain jumped straight to cheeky chaps, as intended. Fortunately, I'm amused.

I expect djt's frenzied fundraising for inauguration is for more buses than party snacks. I predict he'll bring in people from all corners of Ziklag! Beware of in - person protests! False flag sabotage is too easy and too common. Dig up neglected Twex profiles, scrub and cancel at noon Jan 20, 2025.

  115. Ben Meiselas just pointed out that all of our major news channels and biggest print papers have CEOs who are tRump donors! Even MSNBC! Yikes! I know big donors often give to more than one party, and Ben didn't break down which might have done so. But hedging bets on both sides is no excuse with risks of tRump and Project 2025! Media wants to promote dire drama, and fat cats want to continue to abuse workers and trash our habitat! Bring us a Dem House amd Senate, neighbors, so President Joe can really finish the job.

  132. ​ @leticiawilliams2746  Book title really is Too Much and Never Enough , by (niece) Mary Trump. She has eternal grudge after dismissal of lawsuit over her branch of family being excluded in Fred Trump's will. Mary's dad, Fred Jr., was Donald's older brother. Firstborn, of course, gets the Jr label. Fred Jr didn't share Fred Sr's aptitude for bullying and greedy cheating like Donald does. Donald was preferred by Fred Sr for involvement in the real estate business. And / or Fred Jr wasn't interested in it. Fred Jr became an airline pilot, and maintenance worker (I'm cribbing from Wikipedia now) in that order as alcoholism degraded his pilot function. Fred Jr died at 42 in 1981 of a heart attack, predeceasing Fred Sr. I think Mary's frustration with her family dynamic led her to her psychology vocation, trying to fathom what makes Donald tick. (Follow your bliss, y'all!) In interviews Mary has stated that Donald can be enraged and discombobulated by reminding him in front of an audience of Fred Jr dumping a serving bowl of mashed potatoes on young Don's head, a meme I saw just last week.

  171. AAAAAARRRGH, FRED !!! Wish you'd point out the trap in Missouri's Amendment 7 Seven! Hidden behind language banning voting by non- citizens, WHICH IS ALREADY ILLEGAL, is language to BAN RANKED CHOICE VOTING! Ranked Choice Voting would be our best chance to escape the two party duopoly! Amendment 7 (from the General Assembly, NOT an initiative of the people), seeks to trick Missouri voters into putting up a difficult barrier to expanding our freedom of choice! LUCAS KUNCE FOR SENATE, MISSOURI !!! Fire that Lobbyist Josh Hawley!

  176. "We, the people, in order to form a More Perfect Union , establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America", is the Preamble to the US constitution. This is the origin of a phrase that is a YT channel dealing with economic and labor organizing issues. Promotion of the general welfare is a concept discussed by Adam Smith in his 1759 book, The Theory of Moral Sentiments , which predates by 17 years Smith's An Inquiry Into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776). We need more awareness and discussion of our founders' intimacy with the concept of general welfare! I expect the Preamble is the source for title and intent of support systems whose name is now pejorative. I also heartily recommend Bill Clinton's Labor Secretary, Robert Reich, on You Tube.

  182. This is why I want to see a Mashed Potato dance craze on TikTok, maybe to the Never Trump Guy beat! Perhaps with a head - dump of prop mashed potatoes! I know it's a shame to waste instant potato flakes just because they are not food to me, personally. Library paste would be a good textural stand - in, and nontoxic, but expensive. White confetti would leave a head vulnerable to uncushioned bonks unless one uses a cheap soft salad bowl like the kind that needs to be doubled up to support a macaroni salad. Styrofoam packing peanuts or scraps of white sponge could be prop taters. I'm not video competent, so I'm hoping some Meidas Mighty will help me to be obnoxious. Next I'd better go bleat to the Bulwark!

Drilling for (this joke about infants will get my point sent to limbo) fossil fuels will make the cost of transportation come down on workers' commutes and on delivery of all goods so much that we won't need that ten cent raise! Oil companies will be paying us to fuel our vehicles, so we'll have disposable income to cover housing, utilities, groceries, and entertainment. Now just don't anybody get sick or injured!

  237. 15:20 professional news has been letting standards of truth and trust slip away since 1980s. Zombie media is more click baity than the amateurs. Local TV news used to read local paper and add visual. Network news would harvest local stories with biggest impact, broadest interest. Local papers flounder; our TV news machine loses its foundation. Network news picks factoids from social media for unsubstantiated filler. Studies cited may have meaningless puny sample sizes. Network owners prefer feel good puff pieces to investigations into unpleasantness: don't annoy advertisers, rock no boats. Partisan slants trend ever more corporate - friendly. I feel blessed because Meidas Touch and so many You Tubers are stepping up to correct our information deficit!

  242. "slide into Aileen's black robe" is an off - putting metaphor for several reasons. How about "slide into her seat at the bench"? That could also be made prurient, but a listener would have to work at it a bit. Speaking of prurient, I don't love Popok's full body embrace of the AF abbreviation. I know it's your brand by now, Michael, but it looks artificial, contrived, with your gray hairs. I'm older still, so that's why it's unnatural to me. I hope the notoriety works as outreach to the youth. Seearching through list of MTN podcasts for Politics Girl, I noticed this is listed as Legal Analyst Friends. "It's what you think!" Nope, I wouldn't have guessed.

I have seen much good reporting on the 4 Corners program. They are doing us the favor of a set of documentaries on Project 2025 called Retribution. Part 1 dropped this week, including interviews with people on -gasp- both sides. A pro-deportation guy included illegals and people who were let in legally "but shouldn't have been" as his targets. I'm white enough, but my disagreements with 2025 policy make me worry that sending me back to Nebraska won't satisfy them.

  277. Thanks, Fred, for detailing the underhandedness of the Osage River gambling boat ballot measure! I concur that letting the Osage tribe have a casino is more appropriate! I wouldn't have guessed the two were mutually exclusive, as I don't follow gambling news. But as specifically worded as the ballot initiative is, it does seem like one big money entity is primed to roll earth movers on it! I was surprised that the Amendment to approve online betting was by initiative. I'd guess signature collection focused on existing casinos. I would. I noticed the gambling questions predicted, in the required cost analyses, net gains to state funds. Couldn't figure how unwanted babies being kept off welfare rolls would cost tax dollars. A reread caught the specification of "local entities", so I presume they mean loss of sales taxes? As if all of those who can't afford a child would selfishly, sensibly save every cent not spent on baby maintenance?

Many listeners need reminding & reiterating. I get tired of Popok, too, but it's more a matter of being wearied by so much crucial news for which we need Popok's expertise. I wish the individual podcast logos always showed up on Meidas Touch thumbnails. Fred, do you even have a logo for In the Hot Seat? Not an electric chair. Barstool's too vague. Plane cockpit too busy for tiny phone scale... Lights On and Politics Girl are usually readily discernable. Political Beatdown and Mea Culpa, sometimes. On Democracy is pretty subtle in the corner.

If I read YT's whole terms and conditions, will they tell me that? I'll get back to the Meidas Mighty if that happens. Joe Biden is a better Prez than I dared hope, the best in my lifetime. I used to vote Lib before I found out they're all robber barons, and not opposed to welfare for corporations. Barack Obama was the first major party candidate I voted for wholeheartedly, without reservation. I enthusiastically voted for Biden expecting he could be as good as Obama. Biden got a lot more done! Joe's heart is as good as Barack's, and his Rolodex is deeper. For all the times TYT bleats about Sen Biden caving to GOP, he's been able to roll those logs back into cooperation and progress. Biggest climate change effort, ever! Jobs development within the climate improvement projects and beyond!
