There is no case for Trump getting a peace prize—ever.

There is s staggeringly ironclad case for him to be immediately imprisoned for war crimes. And here it is.

Media and MAGA Calls for Trump to Catch a Nobel Peace Prize Rather Than An ICC War Crimes Indictment Are Obscene

The second-biggest threat to global peace after Putin has earned a cell for war crimes—not a humanitarian award. That his grotesque and scammy appeal for a Nobel Peace Prize is working is terrifying.

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday.

Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms.

While you still can.

The human mind is not equipped to deal with the constant onslaught of realizing that there are far more ignorant, genuinely sponge-dumb people in the world than you ever thought possible.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

What’s happening right now should terrify every American. We’re sliding toward empty shelves, broken systems, and a government run by chaos. This week on @meidastouch.com, I break down how close we really are and what we can do to stop it.
