Like I have said several times, trump has less followers than he did in 2016 and 2020. Also, I truly believe there are a lot of republicans in congress ( and across this country)that don’t have the courage to state out loud they won’t vote for him, but no one knows who they vote for when they actually fill out that ballot. Meanwhile, President Biden is doing his job without the hate that trump thinks will work. Biden talks about the positive while trump just continues to use hate and fear. I don’t think it will work this time.

What we need to be aware of is the organised suppression of voters' registration by the Repugnants, this anti-democracy activity will be heightened now after the reaction to Biden's impactful SOTU speech and the pathetic rebuttal by Senator Britt.

I think the reason why MAGAs listen to your show is that because they are hoping that you will talk about gay sex. They are obsessed about it, after all.

Brian from Ohio wanted to see if Joe could 'walk a straight line and put a number coherent sentences together'! Really Brian, is that it? Joe has Arthritis. Millions of people do. For all I know, Brian will end up with it. Should we put Brian in a home when he develops Arthritis? I think he would argue to the contrary.

Joe has a stutter. He's had it all his life. Has Brian spent his life making fun of people with stutters? As a certain former president likes to do. From his comment, I would not be surprised if this is the way Brian has responded when he encountered people with a stutter. Good man Brian, a real credit to his country and state. A state by the way, that we gave $73.4 billion dollars more in Federal Spending in 2021 than they paid in Federal Taxes. Not an unusual year for Ohio. And Brian likes to make comments about people who have arthritis and a stutter. Brian, let me ask, what the fuck is wrong with your state! Why do you need so much of my (California) Federal Tax money year after year? Personally, I don't think arthritis and a stutter is the problem here.

Ted Cruz responded to Joe's speech, in case anybody caught that, describing him as an 'angry old man'. Well Ted, at 72, I'm an angry old man as well. In 2021, we gave your state of Texas $46.8 billion more in Federal Spending than your state paid in Federal Taxes. I'm a little pissed off about that, because I've been giving away my hard earned tax dollars to your state since 2016. What the fuck happened to Texas? Maybe they're spending a little too much time trying to razor wire 'illegal immigrants' and banning abortions than worrying about their economy. And look where it's gotten them, just another of the many Red Ass Failed Welfare States.

And there's Mike Johnson, Socialist Speaker of the House, sitting behind Biden, desperately hoping Joe doesn't mention how fucked up his state is. In 2021, we gave Louisiana $1.89 in spending for every dollar they paid in Federal Taxes. In 2019, it was $1.73. In 2018, it was $1.68, 2017 it was $1.64, 2016 it was $1.49 and 2015, $1.42. $35.3 B, $29.8B, $28.5B, $27.3B, $19.6B and $17.9B respectively. As you may have noticed, things in Louisiana are getting worse, not better. The same with all the Failed Red Welfare States. Failing on a much greater scale now! And we in the Successful Blue Donor States get to pay for it all!

On a parting note, you all may have seen the video of Don T, starting to say something about 'Russia and Saudi Arabia...', and then staring off into space without completing the thought, such as it may have been. Noel Casler, on the Stephanie Miller Show, who worked on the Apprentice and witnessed this first hand, said it looked to him like Don was dropping a #2 in his 'diaper', which he does wear due to the medication he takes. Just wanted to leave you all with that thought.

So many good points Jan (ending with a “drop shot” by DooDoo

Don🤣.) And all of the Magacons who hate “socialists” seem to LOVE communists like Putin, Xi, Un and Orban.

It’s also very depressing to see and hear these Magacons disrespect our masterful president, who has managed to overcome physical challenges like stuttering, and emotional challenges (burying a wife and two children, plus supporting his only son, a recovering addict.) Magacon cultists are unabashedly devoid of empathy and respect.

This is why you are one of the most important people in the country Mike, because we desperately need talk radio on our side and because you are able to help shift and also reflect changing public opinion. Bravo and God bless.

I was never hesitant about Biden's 2024 candidacy once he decided to run. But I was really pumped up by his speech, and realized by watching the GOP congress critters and their absurd little Speakerman that defeating the GOP is of primary importance.

Vote Blue.

Hi Mike, one item I want to remind people of… in this November election we will see 5 million more voters as so many turned 18 and registered… That’s the wild card the GQP is so afraid of.

Every political strategist has said that once you are elected, it is your job to expand and reach out to the voters that didn't vote for you, Trump didn't do that, he created more partisanship and divisiveness among the country. Biden is not an easy target because he is an elderly white man, which is what Trump is (asshole but that is another story). But Biden is not a woman, is not a minority, is not young, it is difficult to bash him, because it is like bashing yourself. But I digress ... I think there are more Biden supporters out there, I also think if people are like me, I don't answer my phone and I do not participate in polls, because I don't believe in giving money and do not believe in money being what wins elections. I actually would like to see each candidate given a certain amount to spend and that would be the end of it, but I digress again. but, the polls always take it one step further and ask for money, so that is my reason for not participating. Plus, I think it is great if the polls show Biden losing, because that throws the Trump people off guard. My opinion.

It is especially difficult to contribute now w/cost of everything high now. I wish if we can get a trifecta that they can change the way that electing politicians don’t win by the amounts of $ given. Bc surely the wealthy can buy their candidates to make laws favorable to the wealthy. It should be by popular vote. Get rid of gerrymandering making it illegal. Get rid of electoral college and delegates, also Citizens United. If we get a trifecta the whole crooked mess that comes w/electing our candidates can be fixed once and for all. That is what i’m praying for. 🙏🏽🤞🏽It shouldn’t be about money. If all that money could go toward fixing things in 🇺🇸 America instead, wouldn’t that be glorious?!?!

Agree Joanne-we have a lot of work to do. Vote Riders is a great volunteer opportunity to help get people registered. And being brave enough to speak up against the meanness, like Jimmy Kimmel did at the Oscars.

Thanks for posting this, Michelangelo. It's often said that the difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Democrats fall in love, while Republicans fall in line. I think there's a lot of truth in that pithy description.

It also serves to explain why there is so much pearl clutching and hand wringing among Democrats, while most Republicans continue to prove that Trump was right when he said "I could stand in the middle of fifth Avenue and shoot someone and not lose any voters." Maybe not so much this time.

I had a thought…. Thinking that there will be some elected repubs that will vote for Jo🇺🇸 and not let anyone know.

Larry,

Maga IS Socialism. It always has been. Remember the Tea Party? They were opposed to ‘oppressive taxation’ or whatever their exact wording was. The irony of the Tea Party was that all the states, and the people in them, that gave birth to the Tea Party were MASSIVE FAIlURES and HUGELY DEPENDENT on FREE FEDERAL MONEY that was REDISTRIBUTED from the SUCCESSFUL BLUE DONOR STATES. The Tea Party states were the Red States. The Red States are now Maga. Were the Failed Red Tea Party States aware of their desperate reality? Who knows, but the Tax Foundation, the Pew Trust and Rockefeller Institute have clearly documented it, along with the enormous financial burden The Tea Party / Maga states actually were / are. They’re the same states, the same people. Billions upon billions of dollars over the years have been taken from the Successful Blue Donor States and handed over to the Chronically Failed Red Tea Party / Maga states. And we were giving money to these states long before there was the Tea Party or Maga. Reconstruction was set up so the northern states paid for the southern states, I guess because the southern states couldn’t have an economy without free labor. Socialism.

Which states have the worst economies? Red States. Who are trying to change the country? Red States. Who’s paying for it? From the Tax Foundation, Pew and Rockefeller Institute, it’s always the Successful Blue Donor States, the REAL capitalists, the states that always have the best economies.

Well said Rick; Drumpf has been whining and playing the victim for decades, after living a pampered, privileged life. His cult are the enablers who continue to spoil him. The majority of Americans are tired of his Richie Rich, snake oil salesman, shtick.
