That’s not a fair criticism! When Trump said he was going to lower prices, he was specifically (and only) referring to eggs! He’s going all out about lowering egg prices! And he’s appointed a billionaire whose primary focus will be the lowering of those insane egg prices that have been mostly increased by, you guessed it, immigrants! This may require military action…

Trump loves legal immigrants explicitly "They have to come in legally!" (he would have had to work to make money without our massive sacred cow continuous importation of people) and illegal migrants implicitly - he does not raid workplaces and jail and/or fine employers to get them to stop hiring them. His rhetoric is about illegal migrants who commit additional crimes.

Trump likes to grab Brown people and ship them off to foreign prisons illegally. Without any real proof or evidence, or legal representation. That’s fascism. That’s the fake “gang” arrests. Then there’s the fake “antisemitism” arrests for protesting Genocide, that the US is guilty of with Israel against the Palestinians. Some more fascism. Respect the Constitution? Not Trump!

Yes, bows low for Israel on behalf of the Adelsons, including joining the elite in stifling any criticism of Israel and helping them to slaughter Palestinians and keep up their West Bank illegal takeover (like Biden also did, and like virtually all of Congress does). But he also lets millions of illegal migrants stay safe and sound in the country like all USA presidents have since Eisenhower. So if he doesn't even enforce immigration law it is hard to see how he is accused of being anti-immigrant.

Is there a justification for "due process" for someone who is already in the country illegally?

You’re an idiot Mike Rube, you have the perfect last name. He talked many times about lowering all grocery prices, immigrants have nothing to do with price of eggs. He just got finished saying “I don’t care if they raise prices on cars because of tariffs “ stay in his world and we all suffer the consequences. Military? Yeah you’re an idiot

republican voters don’t care ,republican leaders don’t care , and hell Democrat leaders don’t know what to think. Corrupt to the core. Baby bush and all those cronies gave us Citizens United …we knew that was as much bullshit as WMD! The USA is an uneducated populace… fear rules the day,that’s how the powerful like it Even over dead babies. As it has always been.

It is much more about human brains being prone to ongoing psychological manipulation than being “an uneducated populace.” Television is king in America with ongoing, lifelong influence that K-12+ can’t ever topple.

I'm sure most of us are watching a decent amount of these shows already. If I didn't appreciate their work, I wouldn't bother watching or subscribing. If something interests me, then I make the time to watch and listen. What they have to say is important and truthful, in my opinion. The chances are if you're watching the likes of Useful Idiots, The Grayzone, The Duran and the Judge, you're not a follower and can think for yourself. MSM is an utter joke, and you don't waste time on watching such trash.

If you have time, then support them the way you already do. If you have the financial means to subscribe, then I'm sure these guys would appreciate it. That's how we can support these hard-working journalists/hosts. Encourage more friends, colleagues and family members to watch these great podcasts. Spreading the word helps everyone involved, and these guys get more exposure. A little respect and kindness goes a long way. Show them some love when you can.

I have no personal interest in the stock market. It was founded in 1571. It opened in 1699 and brokerage houses led by Scrooges and Marleys ran the world.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Stock_Exchange

They say our CANADIAN economy is crashing but the Toronto Exchange and Standard and Poors are crashing and all that means is the poor get richer and the rich get less rich and Happy Days are here at last. William and Mary gave up all their power in 1689 to the House of Lords.

https://encyclopediavirginia.org/entries/act-of-toleration-1689/

1774 the House of Lords owned all the shares The East India Company ran Boston, its harbour , its shipping and its tea. The tea was untaxed it had no tariff and the East India Company needed to liquidate two warehouses in London filled with tea and levied a tariff on everyone else's tea. The threw a Mad Hatter's Tea Party in Boston and independent tea merchants from Quebec dumped shiploads of East India Company Tea into East India's Boston Harbour and liquified it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Tea_Party

These are the most interesting of times. I was born in the 1940s and saw the rise and fall of Pax Americana in a world of more than just the two cities of London and Paris.

I am 77 and giving up some subscriptions I have no time for. I am Asperger Syndrome and learned to write at 70 and I love to write and don't need more anything but time. I don't have time for Katie. I was unsubscribed by the poltroon Christopher Hedges and cancelled the NYT and WP. I live in the Quebec Aaron Mate helped create. In Quebec gender is analog and sex is fun, race is the ultra-oxymoronic homo sapiens sapiens and religion is for closets and churches in our REAL SECULAR HUMANIST LIBERAL DEMOCRACY. I grew up in Montreal and in 2025 I can watch Kamala's High School live on the internet and I am proud to be a Montreal Jew and Mr Poupko is not my idea of a teacher of human passions. Poupko is American Hatemonger Poupko in my wikipedia.😉🦫🍁⚜️🖖
