How to deal with trumps lies and corruption in plain sight? This is the existential dilemma that he and his little friends have created and trademarked as their modus operendi. Clearly it challenges all our abilities to comprehend and react appropriately. And not only us, but the main stream media as well, as they've chosen to retain access reflexively by not reporting the nonsensical fact patterns. That frustration was clearly evident in this episode, and not really resolved, other than the patently obvious need to have access to all the so-called "Epstein Files", which is highly unlikely to occur. To me, the take away is what I already reflexively know, that is everything he, and his acolytes say and do is a lie and distraction. This is the unifying message that needs to be promulgated, and the one which ultimately will bring his MAGA base to become his MAGA nightmare!

Trump can not define treason. Treason is defined in the Constitution and the US Code and disloyalty to the President is not treason. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-3/section-3/

Article III Judicial Branch

Section 3 Treason

Clause 1 Meaning

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

ArtIII.S3.C1.1 Historical Background on Treason

ArtIII.S3.C1.2 Levying War as Treason

ArtIII.S3.C1.3 Trial of Aaron Burr

ArtIII.S3.C1.4 Aid and Comfort to the Enemy as Treason

18 US Code Sec 2381

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

Honestly, don’t you think they’re already scrubbing the files in there will be nothing left?

I definitely believe that they’re scrubbing the files! But, I don’t believe that they are the only ones with access to them. Then there are the victims who I feel horrible for having to constantly relive the trauma over and over as pieces of the story gets leaked bit by bit with no real closure! The truth always comes out! Pedophiles are the worst monsters that live among us and anyone who is involved in hiding such a horrible secret for such horrible crimes will have their consciences seriously challenged! I think this is what is happening now within the Regime, Congress, and within MAGA! This is why we need to stay on it!

I sent Cohen this message after his latest guest article on the MTN:

"Hi Michael, your own daughter is on video stating that when she was 15yo, Trump called her a ‘nice piece of ass’. You may not believe Trump is capable of all the pedophilic acts that other women reported he did to them, or that Trump was aware of the extent of Epstein’s sexual depravity; but don’t you believe your own daughter??? Maybe it’s a HUGE MISTAKE to try to mansplain or downplay Trump’s sex crimes against multiple young girls??? By doubling down and playing Devil’s Advocate for Trump, you appear to many people to be disputing witness testimony from all the young models who reported that Trump assaulted or intruded upon them while they were changing backstage at beauty pageants. Are all these women exaggerating or making it up? Just because Trump didn’t hit on YOU? This article explains a woman’s point of view on Trump’s sex crimes; in case you still don’t understand that actively supporting a known pedophile, despite mounting evidence against him, is MORALLY WRONG:

Here is Michael Cohen's reply to my message:

"I think it is you who should no longer join me on MY Political Beatdown Show with Ben as your bias and need to inject your opinion has no benefit to the community. You have zero facts. My point is no one does. It’s why releasing the Epstein file is so important as it either removes the conspiracy theories or validates the offenses. That’s called a fact. Understand?"

I now feel doubly sorry for Malcolm and Lev.

I, too, am frustrated with Cohen's backsliding on Trump. I'm almost ready to unsubscribe. He can't have it both ways. Tired of all his cheerleading about how great Trump is at winning, how he destroys his enemies, and how he is impossible to beat if you go against him. No to all that, and now this. It disappoints me in his response to you that he objects to you having an opinion!

Cohen seems stuck on the Trump he used to know. Not on the dementia addled Trump of 2025.

Glad to see you back, Malcolm. I don’t know what is going on with MC, but sadly many people are very upset and many are even unsubscribing or have stopped watching. Very upsetting because the whole point is to build a community, not chase people away or people being berated for their comments.

I was driving while watching the show and

literally , when I got home, I had to take a Valium to calm my nerves and lower my heart rate.

If you can't see that the #1 Beneficiary of all this division is Russia, you've been drinking your own bathwater. Sowing chaos and division between Americans, even those you feel are allies is the hidden purpose behind all this. Putin has devastated his enemy, from within. I doubt that even a Pearl Harbour level attack, could bring Americans together again.

No, some attorneys may resign. Bove is a despicable attorney. The reshaping of the DOJ, Security, DHS and all of the Phuckin' regime are hideous! Good work guys, thank you for the information!

Did Trump meet Melania through Epstein? Did she know Epstein first? If so, is there bad stuff about Melania in the Epstein records? Is that why they are refusing to release them?
