    Anthony, it seems that some of us ex-pats have more interest in the USA’s democracy than many Americans! Keep up the excellent work!

      I’m also an expat in Europe and feel the same way. As I listen to these programs, trying to warn the ppl about trump, MAGA & fascism, in my head I keep screaming, “WHY AREN’T AMERICANS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS”. Why aren’t they out in the streets protesting, something. I’m scared to death about this upcoming election, wondering if American voters will just give up & sit it out. I’ve lived abroad for going on 40 years and the America I see now is sooo not the one I grew up in. God help us if these wacko MAGAs keep getting elected. 🙏🙏🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪💪💪💪

    What I appreciate most about your podcasts, Anthony, is your civility and even-handedness. The Meidas Touch network sometimes goes too far in name-calling and ridicule, particularly of T’s physical characteristics, and that seems to make me lose interest because I feel we are sinking to the same depths of ad hominen attacks as T and his followers. I really like that you keep things civil, even when you express justifiable outrage, frustration and incredulity. Thank you for modelling the civility we wish to maintain in democratic countries all over the world. Doesn’t mean we can’t fight like hell with everything we’ve got!

      Have you not heard the vile vitriol that spews from trump himself and his cultists? Any physical criticism of him pales into insignificance compared. For me long may it continue. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Going high does not work with him

      It has become aware that djt watches and some of the episodes are playing to him directly. They do this whenever djt is trashing someone else. Remember, MTN has called out defamation E. Jean Carroll and, of witnesses before any other news network. The viewers of MeidasTouch help when they see this happening at rallies (some members go to rallies and tape them). MTN monitors Truth Social.

    • @LorraineTapper
      @LorraineTapper หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      This is your interpretation. As far as I am aware whenever Anything about Trump is criticised it is about his behaviour.
      I listen to MTN everyday and can't remember a time when anything about Trumps physical characteristics was criticised.
      Yes, they talk a lot about his cognitive decline which is evident to anyone.
      Really important to do so as this man who clearly does not have the mental or emotional capacity to be president.

    Thankyou Anthony, I feel as frustrated as you with the American system, I am an Australian, and we would have got rid of trump much earlier, I think you can't beat the Westminster system, well trump has certainly shaken all the rules, and the norms, and has gotten away with it, it scares the s..t out of me, that stupid electoral systems sucks, get rid of that, trump has poisoned the water, trump has poisoned America, a country I used to look up to, 😢

      They are waging one right now. Voters will fight with their vote rather than bullets (I hope). My concern (and I think our law enforcements) is what will happen the first time djt is put in jail). NYC is best positioned to handle any riots. I think djt may act out in court and I believe this judge will treat djt like any other defendant. At least I pray he does.

    Is it really ridiculous to say the U.S. is not a democracy? California with a population of 39 million has two U.S. Senators, while 22 states with populations between that of Connecticut and Wyoming have a similar combined population, but the latter population group is allotted 44 U.S. Senators. With such a formula, in what respect can it be said that federal governance is based upon the consent of the governed? A republic is representative governance, but a democratic republic is supposed to be representative government chosen by the majority of the governed. At best the U.S. has a system of minority rule. At worst it is an oligarchic republic.

    *Just a thought here. I understand MTN needs sponsors to continue to bring fact based content to all of us everyday, yet it bugs the ever loving sh!t out of me when MTN hawks Hims! to men who can get ED help sent right to them without having to leave the comfy of their own couch. The flip side of that coin are all the women and young girls who literally have to be dying before they can get help with a miscarriage or unwanted pregnancies having to leave the comfy of their own state to get the medical care they need or sent right to their homes. Doesn’t seem to make sense selling T-shirts that say *Bans Off Our Bodies or *Roevember. 😶

      It's because of shrinkflation and corporate greed. Inflation is the lowest of all the G7 countries and under 3%. Unfortunately, corporations are using excuses like COVID and supply chain issues to engage in price gouging. Which the POTUS has no control over. Dems tried to get legislation passed, similar to that in Britain, to fine corporations for price gouging. But like almost anything that would benefit the people, all Republicans voted against it.
