本·梅塞拉斯详细描述了特朗普在败选后两周内一系列令人震惊的行为,包括对民调机构的攻击、对政府官员的威胁以及对政治对手的持续指责。他指出,即使在共和党赢得选举的情况下,特朗普及其支持者仍然坚持选举舞弊的论调,并对任何对其不利的结果表示不满。梅塞拉斯还批评了特朗普对政府权力的滥用,例如计划对参与阿富汗撤军的美军军官进行军事法庭审判,以及提名有性侵犯指控和封口费丑闻的Peter Hegseth担任国防部长。此外,他还谴责了埃隆·马斯克等亿万富翁对政府的攻击性言论以及对美国民众的威胁,认为这些行为预示着美国政治的混乱和潜在的灾难性后果。梅塞拉斯还批评了极右翼人士建议极端人物担任政府要职的行为,以及特朗普支持者倡导的“让美国再次健康”口号与他们的行为(例如食用不健康食品和反对疫苗接种)之间的矛盾。最后,他总结道,美国政治现状可以被描述为“卡卡托克拉西”(由白痴统治的政府)或“愚民政治”,反映了对政治领导人和政治方向的失望。

This is the sound of your ride home with dad after he caught you vaping. Awkward, isn't it? Most vapes contain seriously addictive levels of nicotine and disappointment. Know the real cost of vapes. Brought to you by the FDA.

Is the pressure getting to you already, Donald? I mean, how thin-skinned can you be? You see what he posted over the weekend? He's calling for an investigation into Ann Selzer. You may say that name sounds familiar. Remember the Selzer poll out of Iowa? Ann Selzer was their pollster. She said that Vice President Kamala Harris was going to—

lead in Iowa by a few points, which was actually pretty incorrect. But now Donald Trump is spending the weekend attacking Ann Selzer, saying she was involved in election interference and an investigation is needed right away. It's like what he posted. He goes, a totally fake poll that caused great distrust and uncertainty at a very critical time. She knew exactly what she was doing.

Thank you to the great people of Iowa for giving me such a record-breaking vote despite election fraud by Ann Selzer and the now discredited newspaper for which she works. An investigation is fully called for. And it's an article from the Des Moines Register saying that she's moving on to other ventures,

And she's stepping away from working at the Des Moines Register. That's what Donald Trump's doing. So let me get this straight. Even where he wins the election, and even where overall Republicans had a pretty decent election, there were some areas where Democrats did okay. The Republicans are still saying fraud, fraud, fraud, election fraud. They're the ones who are still whining and complaining. Even when they win, they just don't know how.

how to govern. They don't know how to lead. I mean, by the way, there's this congressional race as well in Orange County where the Democrat pulled ahead and

And the Republicans like there's cheating taking place. You see right there, even when they're winning, they are whining over and over again. And so just to show you, this is how MAGA views government as just endless grievance and endless whining. And it just, the whole thing,

thing is just a complete and utter mess right now, right? Like now we're learning that Donald Trump's pick for secretary of defense, Peter Hegseth, who's the Fox news host who cheated on wife one with wife two, who cheated on wife two with wife three, had a baby with wife three. We knew about the sexual assault allegations that he had in 2017. We learned about those. We reported on that. But now we also learned that he engaged in hush money payments as well. I mean,

this seems like a common theme. Hush money payments, Stormy Daniels sound familiar to everybody, but this is who MAGA is. I mean, by the way, as Donald Trump's out there talking about the Seltzer poll and whining about the Seltzer poll and talking about that, you have Elon Musk

talking about this is what Elon Musk posted. Who's basically been acting as a co-president at this point to Donald Trump. And many people are saying just how annoying he is. You have Elon Musk talking about an extinction level event.

within the administration and spending bureaucracy in the federal government. And it's an extinction level event is what they are talking about. So Elon Musk, a billionaire, the richest person in the world, said that we the people must now all suffer hardship. He says he and Donald Trump are going to make sure we face hardship, he says, because that's how he's going to make things better. And now he's talking about an ELE. Look at this.

an extinction level event. So to recap, you have Donald Trump whining about a pollster saying he's gonna use the government to go after some random pollster in Iowa. His secretary of defense pick, Peter Hegseth, apparently made hush money payments the way Donald Trump did with Stormy Daniels. You have Elon Musk creating fake governmental agencies and he's talking about extinction level events within the government itself.

And take a look right there. Just look at Trump's face in this photo as MAGA Mike Johnson and he walk out to the UFC fight right here. You see Dana White here. So utterly bizarre. And talking about the utter abuse of government power and authority right here, the Trump transition team is now compiling a list of

of current and former U.S. military officers for possible court-martial regarding Afghanistan withdrawal. You mean the Afghanistan withdrawal that Donald Trump botched? You mean the deal that Donald Trump made with the Taliban to release 5,000 Taliban soldiers? You mean when Donald Trump invited the leader of the Taliban to Camp David to commemorate September 11th on

the anniversary of 9-11, Donald Trump invited the leader of the Taliban. You mean Donald Trump who drew down our troops to a dangerous level, leaving them in harm's way, but keeping troops there, not allowing a smooth transition or any transition at all to take place from his administration to the Biden administration. Yeah, and now you're going to go after military generals?

who were involved in Afghanistan and tried to court-martial them. I mean, the abuses of power here are through the roof. I think Americans are taking notice. We talked about how people are just getting utterly pissed that like Elon Musk and these oligarchical billionaires are talking about exposing us to severe and devastating hardship. We don't want to go through hardship. We the people just want to go about living our lives.

Take a look at what Elon Musk is publishing as well or posting on his social media platform. Well, first he posted an attack on the Federal Reserve. He said, what would be better, a magic eight ball or the Federal Reserve? And he did a Twitter poll on that because apparently that's now what Trump and MAGA does. That's how they govern Trump.

via Twitter polls. And then you have Elon Musk commenting with this after he spoke to Zelensky. The news, Zelensky says, the U.S., referring to Trump, cannot force us to sit and listen at the negotiating table. We are an independent country, President Zelensky says in a Ukrainian interview. We're not just going to listen if Trump tries to force our hands. We are going to defend our territory. We're not submitting. We're not obeying.

bang. We're not doing that. We're going to win this war. And then Elon Musk goes, his sense of humor is amazing with a laugh emoji, obviously threatening President Zelensky right there. And then you just have the most absurd propagandist like here is on Newsmax, Monica Crowley, one of Donald Trump's

top propagandists saying the following about Trump cabinet positions. And by the way, this is not an SNL clip as Tennessee Holler says, play this clip. - Making America great again. Every single cabinet pick that he has announced so far

is incredibly accomplished and strong on their own. As a team, this really is a dream team. We have not seen this kind of talent pool since the founding fathers. - I'm always on the lookout for immune strength during cold and flu season, so I just discovered an incredible product, Armra Colostrum.

host, the extremist right-wing podcast host. He should become secretary of the Secret Service, which is not even a job. And by the way, you saw MAGA Mike Johnson at the UFC fight because apparently America's just quite literally like everything is propaganda right now. Everything is like just a ridiculous stunt. Here he is talking about we've

We may try to shut down Congress so Donald Trump can just get in any of the people that he wants who are completely unqualified so we could all inflict hardship on you. The oligarchy, the American billionaire boys club oligarchy of the billionaires, the Elon Musks and the Trumps, they can screw us. They can screw you. We screw all we, the people. We're on to you. Here, play this clip. Happy.

Listen, I believe in the principle of a new president being able to choose his team. And that used to not be a controversial notion. We're in a time of very divided government and a very partisan atmosphere in Washington. I wish it were not. I wish the Senate would simply do its job of advice and consent and allow the president to put the persons in his cabinet

of his choosing but if this thing bogs down it would be a great detriment to the country to the american people remember they just delivered a mandate to the president an overwhelming popular vote victory and and of course electoral college victory and they have sent the message that america first policies are should be the rule of the day so the persons that the president is choosing will help with that agenda they will take their

Oh, and by the way, you have RFK Jr. Remember, Make America Healthy Again. M-A-H-A, Make America Healthy Again. Remember, remember?

Remember that slogan? Well, here they are eating the McDonald's on the Trump plane. Elon Musk, RFK, MAGA Mike Johnson, Don Jr., Donald Trump. And here he is, RFK, with some Zin.

Artifact, it's just so you know what Zin is. It's like a synthetic nicotine. And if you ever went on the Reddit board of people who tried to quit Zin, it is so hard to get off it. And some of the stories are the saddest and most depressing stories to ever hear as people try to get off Zin. But

You know, if you were paying attention to the Trump campaign as we were here on the Midas Touch Network, you would know that one of the platforms that was not Make America Healthy. Remember, Donald Trump had the NELC boys, the Canadian right wing podcasters who got involved in our elections because they're very popular amongst the kind of right wing people.

you know, Gen Z crowd there. They started off as like pranksters doing like amateur, you know, immature pranks on people. And, um, and now they're big Trumpers. Um, Barron's a big fan of their show, um, uh, with, on their podcast. I think they've been, I don't know if they were banned from YouTube, but they were certainly demon. I don't know what the story, but, um, you have them going and giving a speech about, um,

Hey, we legalize Zinn. Or they attacked Governor Walz for putting a tax on Zinn because it's very dangerous stuff. Here, play this clip. We need Trump back and we need him back bad. One more thing I know that's passionate about. Governor Tim Walz, he put a 95% tax on Zinn. We got to get that removed, President Trump. But that's right. Make America healthy again. That's right. You're going to have the MAGAs tell you what you can eat, what you can do.

Ban your vaccines, ban fluoride in water, dictate your life. By the way, all the people who are angry that they had to wear masks during COVID, you're cool with the government telling you what you can eat, when you can eat, where you can go, what you have to do, literally dictating the terms of your life as inflicting hardship on you. As Elon Musk says, he's going to be the billionaire saying he's inflicting hardship on you.

Did you see the other report I did? I talked about it in Legal AF as well. No one wants to talk about this stuff. A federal judge, Judge Jordan, out of the Eastern District of Texas, struck down the Biden Department of Labor rule, which would have provided overtime payment to anybody making under about $1,000.

56 to 58 000 a year you'd automatically be entitled to overtime pay but a trump judge said no that's too anti-business to give overtime to people making under 58 000 but on the other hand as elon musk is worth 300 billion dollars and all of these billionaires the oligarchy that now supports all of this stuff because they're going to get great tax cuts

They're going to make tens of billions of dollars more because you can never have so many billions of dollars. You need 50. We need 100 yachts, 200 yachts while we the people suffer. So that's the oligarchy can inflict pain on we the people and then say they're going to inflict hardship on us.

What, like Argentina, where 53% of the people live under poverty, under the ruler that the MAGAs all applaud? What, like Victor Orban, where the entire GDP is, what, $170 billion a year, which is less than what some companies, lots of companies make annually here in the United States?

well i mean i think you're seeing we call it a cacatocracy uh over here um a cacistocracy over here in the united states a government by the idiots or an idiocracy uh if you will but um there you have it i mean thin-skinned trump flipping out he's posting about scaramucci scaramucci's a loser this person's a loser dude
