The Big Beautiful Disaster While Trump and Musk hurl insults, democracy dies in the background; this is your wake-up call to stop watching the circus and start fighting for your country. MeidasTouch Network and Michael Cohen Jun 7 Guest article by Michael Cohen Let me tell you something: watching Elon Musk and Donald Trump go at each other is like watching two bloated hyenas fight over a carcass they both dragged into the dust. It’s grotesque, pathetic, and above all, dangerous. You’ve got Trump, the orange autocrat, flailing on Truth Social like a man with too many cheeseburgers and not enough attention. And Elon? A once-lauded innovator now reduced to a dopamine junkie chasing MAGA clout on a platform he ruined just to feel powerful. And the American people? We’re the saps watching it like it’s must-see TV while the house burns down around us. This feud isn’t about ideas. It’s not about policy. It’s a battle of malignant narcissism, a grudge match between two egos too big to share the same spotlight. But here’s the real kicker: this public pissing contest is a smokescreen. A distraction. And it’s working. While the media devours every insult and meme like it’s the Zapruder film, the real crimes against democracy are happening in broad daylight—and barely anyone’s paying attention. Take the migrants. Hundreds, maybe thousands, have gone missing. We’re talking about human beings—some fleeing violence, some seeking asylum, others simply trying to survive. Families torn apart by a deportation policy so cruel it would make the architects of ICE under Trump blush. We’ve got people being dumped in war zones, children vanishing from shelters, and not a whisper of outrage on cable news. Why? Because Musk tweeted an Epstein meme and Trump called him a “broken puppet.” And let’s not forget the foreign students—kids who believed in the American dream, who came here legally, studied hard, paid tuition, contributed to our economy. Now they’re being rounded up, detained, and expelled. No hearings. No dignity. Just cold, bureaucratic erasure. We’re not just deporting individuals; we’re exporting our own credibility. And for what? To feed a nationalist fantasy that even the GOP can’t explain without tying itself in knots. Meanwhile, Trump’s latest legislative monstrosity—the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill”—is a disaster so staggering, even his own allies are sprinting away from it like it’s radioactive. A grotesque buffet of tax giveaways, deregulation, and culture war red meat wrapped in the flag and stamped with “Made in America,” while being written by lobbyists in Qatar and Beijing. It’s a joke. Except the punchline is our future. Rand Paul calls it a ticking debt bomb. Josh Hawley says it screws working families. And Marjorie Taylor Greene—yes, that Marjorie—called it “a fraud dressed as patriotism.” When the Queen of Conspiracies is suddenly the adult in the room, you know we’re in deep shit. But instead of examining the implications of all this legislative vandalism, the press is breathlessly tracking Trump and Musk like it’s the Super Bowl of sociopaths. Who tweeted what. Who unfollowed whom. Who’s threatening subpoenas and who’s promising revenge. It’s all noise—weaponized noise—designed to drown out the slow-motion destruction of our democratic institutions. This isn’t a feud. It’s theater. A stage play in which the two leads hate each other, while the curtain hides the real show: courts stacked with extremists, civil rights gutted by judicial fiat, statehouses passing bills that criminalize dissent, ban books, and rewrite history. It’s Orwell with better marketing. Our democracy isn’t being stolen in the dead of night; it’s being stripped for parts in front of a cheering crowd at a Bravo Housewives Reunion. And here’s the worst part: we’re complicit if we keep watching. Every second we waste on Musk’s latest grievance or Trump’s endless persecution complex is a second we’re not fighting for justice, truth, or the survival of our republic. I know Trump. I know how he thinks. He doesn’t fear Elon Musk. He doesn’t fear the law. He fears irrelevance. He fears being outshined. That’s why this feud is happening. It’s not political; it’s primal. And Elon? He doesn’t care about democracy. He cares about dominance. Twitter. AI. Space. It’s all just a means to feed the ego. These aren’t public servants. They’re gladiators in a colosseum they built to distract you while they rob you blind. So no, we can’t afford to sit back and treat this Musk vs. Trump slap-fight like it’s WrestleMania. Because while they play heel and face, the American experiment is being dismantled brick by brick. And if we don’t wake the hell up, we won’t just lose the thread—we’ll lose the whole damn plot.

[take action] Demand Congress act now to save Oak Flat from total destruction

 

COPPER MINING FOR EXPORT? 

ON NATIVE AMERICAN LAND?

PLEASE SPEAK OUT!

Oak Flat in Arizona is sacred to Apaches and other Tribes that have held ceremonies there since the beginning of time. As Apache Stronghold writes, it is “the birthplace of our religion and the site of sacred ceremonies that cannot take place anywhere else.” But now, the federal government has authorized the transfer of this religious place to a multinational mining corporation that wants to mine copper there. The mining project would swallow Oak Flat into a massive crater and forever destroy the place our ancestors have conducted ceremonies and traditional cultural practices. The U.S. Supreme Court recently declined to hear the case Apache Stronghold v. United States, clearing the way for the destruction of Oak Flat. By declining to act, the Court has ignored clear violations of Tribal treaties and the constitutionally protected rights of sovereign Indigenous nations. Apache Stronghold argues that the proposed land transfer violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which is intended to shield communities from precisely this kind of government intrusion on sacred ceremonial practices. In dissent of the court’s decision, Justice Neil Gorsuch agrees with Apache Stronghold, calling it a “grievous mistake -- one with consequences that threaten to reverberate for generations.” He cited Martin Luther King Jr’s church, Ebenezer Baptist Church, as an example of another religious site situated on federal land that the court would never even consider allowing a corporation to destroy for profit. A final Environmental Impact Statement is expected from the federal government as early as June 16, and it’s likely to pave the way for the destruction of Oak Flat. Send a message urging your members of Congress to step up, engage the White House and the U.S Forest Service, and ask that they not destroy this unique and important place for traditional religious practices now. SIGN & SEND As the late Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) wrote in defense of Oak Flat: “Current laws fail to adequately protect Tribal government interests on federal land. For example, public land containing a cultural sacred site or where a Tribal Nation has a treaty right may currently be sold to private developers -- without any regard for a Tribe’s interest in the land.” We need Congress to act before it is too late. Click here to send a message to your senators and representative urging them to contact the White House and the Forest Service and ask them not to destroy Oak Flat. Hawwih (thank you) for everything you do in defense of Indigenous religious rights. Judith LeBlanc (Caddo) Executive Director DONATE TODAY

Hitler-Loving Congresswoman Deletes INSANE-BIGOT-TWEET About Praying Chaplain in House of Reps!!!

+ 1,800 COMMENTS WORTH READING!

Sikh pronounced Seek. Recognised by and part of the British commonwealth peoples. Brave, loyal and valued comrades, who fought tenaciously to defeat Nazism in WW2. 

There is no way to comprehend the evils of HITLER, but one can gain some insight into where the U.S. is being directed. HITLER targeted "THOSE OTHERS" who looked different, dressed different, spoke differently...not much different from TRUMP targeting NON-WHITE immigrants or LGBTQ folks. TRUMP hates the DISABLED, has refused to have DISABLED VETERANS stand with him. Not much different from HITLER.

Many years ago, I met a HOLY MAN who explained that ALL RELIGIONS are the same - it's like everyone sitting around in a circle and describing an object in front of them.

Everyone has a slightly different perspective.

The quote by Martin Niemöller begins with, "First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me." This statement reflects on the dangers of silence and inaction in the face of injustice.

Jesse talks about a tweeted (then deleted) post from Illinois Republican Congresswoman Mary Miller, who once gave a speech on the lawn of the Capitol building the day before the insurrection, proclaiming what she thought Adolph Hitler was right about and that we should practice.
