Nobody can afford food or rent, but "buy gold" is the answer; reality falls on deaf ears covered with gold leaf!
Like the Hunter Biden laptop stated by the Democrat Regime & FBI was Russian disinformation...but was actually 💯 factually true!
Oh got it, this was the last election. Ok, need any help escaping Hitler? Can help you book a one way flight.
Exactly LB. That😢 convo was with Paul Ryan and that woman. You can hear them talking about Russia steam rolling over Ukraine with the disinformation.
Govt of the people by the people for the people.Certain sections of the American community are totally enjoying their drama about the End of Democracy. Hilarious.
Rule of law and human rights, we can’t forget who we are.
Watching LB's face again.. not good 😢
Hi. According to SCOTUS Trump is eligible to run for office. According to our constitution he is ineligible to hold office. He needs two thirds vote during certification to remove his disqualification. P.S. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
Unfortunately it's worse than death re women/minorities it's total control and if you die in the process strict liability for ye but not for ME (the 1%ers).🏴🤕🇺🇸☃️💙
This is the best!😅
Hi Stephanie and Greg Part of my self-care in the face of this circus that's about to descend on our federal government includes coveting weekends. Observe/don't stare. All the other days of the week I will oppose with the rest and the best of you, but weekends are off political limits. It's been hard, but with practice I'll achieve that goal. Chief Caligula rained all over our weekends for 4 years with shit tweets other mayhem starting on Friday nights. I'm reclaiming that territory. I'm also on a waiting list for inauguration tickets which I have no intention of using. There's 3 empty spots, go me. 👍
😂
George Lakov made some great points.
Those 2 events shielded the report from the FBI about the dude who had over 150 homemade bombs, weapons and ammo. His words were as terrifying as any of the others. Have you seen it in cable?? I didn’t and I checked.
I’ve been saying for almost a decade that this situation is absolutely unsustainable. The cult didn’t blow their loads enough on Jan 6.
Greg!!! Don’t give him any ideas!
Look at photos of Ivan Raiklin. He’s the same height same build. He even laughed when in a committee someone suggested the pipe bomber Jan 5 could have been in the room at that time.
CNN still has the gaslighter in chief Scott Jennings. He now also has a gig as an opinion writer. Until they’re cancelled the country can’t improve.
From your lips to Gods ears Greg
Merchan is the guardian of justice
Happy & healthy 2025 !

The Future is not what it used to be.
We all know. Trump is the president
Much appreciate your mentioning of Giselle pelicot's story of courage & resilience. Thank you both for this conversation, which seems to get very little mention by the hollowed out former fourth estate.
Well at least France still has some sort of justice... UK throws people in jail for speaking on it. Kinda reminds me of the 1933 Gestapo
awesome eugenix
Sadly the American people put Biden in the WH and he created a vacuum and as I always say, Nature abhors a vacuum.Biden should have been political because that's unfortunately the only way to halt a the rolling coup. Dems cannot work with fascists.
Thanks for describing how dysfunctional this system is. There's a reason why Trump won. All these promises that the institutions would hold when an entire right wing machine has plowed their agenda. Now we lost all branches of the govt.
Housing and stocks can be likened to the moment when Wile E. Coyote runs off a cliff and is suspended in the air before falling. You can't defy gravity forever. I know many who have been "quiet quitting" Amazon. Boycott would be lovely.
Trump is one of those incompetent people who makes disasters orders of magnitude worse than they would otherwise be.
Where are the Dems right now? Why is Cheney standing alone in calling out Trump as an INSURRECTIONIST? Trump did indeed attempt to overthrow OUR democracy: electors, lawyers, armed fighters, and all. Better to rebuild from rubble than to be prisoners with golden toilets.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Greg and Stephanie. I'm a little blue dot in a deeply red area of the great state of Minnesota, where my work often has me feeling completely unmoored from reality in our current times. Hard to catch you live now because - reasons - but Saturday morning coffee with the show is my essential go-to defense against brain break. 🫶 and appreciation as always to the amazing Chunk for his time and talents!
First time viewer here. The intro was absolutely fucking killer, and I really enjoyed the conversation. I think I'll tune in more often.
@@David_Richard_241 you want to be a member. This is the best podcast around. Like talking to 2 friends who happen to be very smart.
The Republican party is the boogey man they have always accused Democrats of being. When it all comes down to it, it's the money, everytime.
Those who should have locked up have had no consequences.
My favorite go to Saturday morning. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's now going to be mine, too. I just found it this morning.
They've been so essential to keeping me moored throughout this sh!tshow. Welcome! (Tell your friends) 😊
@@maryzabel6559 I would if I had friends.😄
@David_Richard_241 ouch man. (😆) Well, you've at least got a pile of kindred spirits here in the Five 8 chats! We're all friendlies. Mostly. 😉
@@maryzabel6559 I am a "friendly" but I am very boring.
Mean machine!
Missed you live! @StuartSyvret fault lol. Watched The doc again on child abuse T dollar Jersey Way tax haven !
5. Brain Break -- that's where I'm living these days -- and focusing on things here in BC... I have a new MLA because the boundary line got moved...
We must speak about it to survive. It is a reality. What happens after the next major disaster ? Is that when action might be taken - when nothing is done?
