My 1st podcast. Not that I made 1, just that I voluntarily stayed & listened to the whole thing! Now ~ [Please don't chase me with pitchforks]😶🌫️ ~ I am not a fan of podcasts. They remind me too much of "talk radio" (a la Rush & his ilk) from days gone by, only you can see who's talking...if you've got time to just sit & watch/listen to the banter of hosts. True, it's better stuff & I get to see what someone looks like, rather than an "invisible talking head" I hear on radio. But to me, it's still 'talk radio'....w/visuals. Really hated AM talk radio taking up airwaves where my music should be & getting people all riled up over BS. (👋Rush & his "Dittoheads" left a lasting impression🤮) "Where did my music go?"
CA traffic is such a royal pain [always] & music relaxes, relieves stress for me & other drivers. Whatever music they like, it's reducing traffic stress. Green Day, Pat Benatar, Annie Lennox... or maybe Cat Stevens, Nickel Creek, James Taylor (whose song, "Traffic Jam" is perfect match for sitting in CA traffic!😉) Or, maybe Lauren Daigle, Casting Crowns, CONTEMPORARY worship music station on FM... a wide-range of music I listen to when driving, depending on my mood/attitude. But it's ALWAYS MUSIC ~ makes me nicer driver. I DON'T think it's coincidence there was so much "road rage" when talk radio was everywhere! It agitates people, by design, I think. I just hear Trump's name & get agitated! Especially if the "P" word in front of it!🤨
Was at home today listening to your podcast. Maybe that's why I stayed with it to the end? I'm brand new to Substack - still not sure what it is, exactly? I sometimes comment on things, but now have few people 'following' me(?), so guess I shouldn't do that! I don't have anything on there to "follow".🤭
I just gather info, is all. Lots of info! Usually in print form, but saw Mehdi on there 2day😉 & wanted to hear what he'd be like when free of MSNBC constraints.🤔
Substack seems uniquely different. Not sure what it's creating there, or what rules are?! But in just few days, have gotten great deal of info & read some really good writing, w/fact-based opinions. (Yes, I tend to dbl-check things. Please don't take it personal.)
I subscribed to couple things & plan to keep checking it out on my "well days". If anyone can direct me to any guidelines, etc, for Substack & how to 'restack', that'd be a big help - thank you. I'm just an old woman who's NOT AT ALL tech-savvy! (Such an understatement!) Smart at most things, but not tech-stuff. "Techno-dummy".
I stopped calling them Republicans some time ago. These people in power today are dark MAGA, a cult group. I think they give Libertarians a bad name. The dark MAGA is racist and all the isms that you can think of.
Agreed It's the Maga party. OK...Soooo. The Maga party is not going to wake up some morning and say gee trump's a loser. Real stories from APPOSITION (not opposition) are happening right now. The VA, the USPS and many other federal agencies being affected by these firing are heavily populated with VETERANS and trump supporters...Veterans receive hiring preference from the federal gov. Where are the stories of trumper's and veterans being fired? These are the stories that can have real effects. MAGA hears nothing from OPPOSITION! Coming from veterans and other trumper's, they will have to listen!
You are so out of touch with reality you silly liberals. How many times have they proven it is just criminals being deported and walking into a country as an illegal immigrant is a criminal offence.
What can be done? And why isn't everyone doing it? What about Law, and the constitution? And how can a criminal be installed as President? Why weren't ppl more outraged when the Supreme court said he could do the SEAL team 6 thing while President?
No. I am the type that if you celebrated the barbarism of oct 7th and wish for my people to be pushed into the sea, I would call you an antisemite. Btw hummus is a middle eastern dish, not a Jewish one.
Today Michael Poppa of Legal AF (YT) says federal judges can deputize a state's national guard, capital police, metro police. Federal judge in MD (example used here) could call up his state's national guard to be deputized by a federal judge.
We have to IMPLORE Mr. Stevens to release the names of the closet gays in the Rethuglican party. I've heard him say something to the effect.... were I to release the names of closet gay Republicans...
Attended the FL-13 townhall with Whitney Fox on Saturday. It was a great event. We, Indivisible Safety Harbor (more like Indivisible FL-13 or Dunedin) group and local dems, would love to have you at another event. I suggested we substitute Luna with a sock puppet instead of a Missing poster. Either way, help us take back FL-13. There is no reason Luna should have won by 10 points. Thank you all including Mehdi for fighting the good fight. I've seen friends and family who are fighters who are afraid to fight now. I'm over that!!! No nazi white supremacist racist tech lord hellscape for me.
The President of the United States should set the EXAMPLE of following the laws of this nation, not be the EXCEPTION!

Hi, I already give money to the Lincoln Project every month. Haw does this differ.

How do you paid for subscription?
Love Mehdi

We are so far from normal and so far from our values it’s sickening. I say millions march on DC. They can’t arrest millions.

PLEASE DO IT!
Something could be taking shape right now
