This morning my mood is one of pure disgust! The Today Show is doing a special on Elon Musk. He may be the richest man in the world but he is not a good person and should not have that attention paid to him. Then Joe Scarborough is banging his gums making fun of Kamala Harris and sort of comparing her to Dan Quayle. My TV is off and I want to go back to bed and hide under the covers. The world has gone crazy.

He’s already subverted our alliance with Ukraine. I suggest he be deported.

I know! The woman who interviewed Vice President Harris on "Meet the Press" was infuriating!

Omg… what would I do without you. This “frightened liberal “ woke up at 4:30 am only to find you in my inbox. Turned you on and immediately started giggling with “Dr Mike”. Thank you for always being my voice of reason. My husband is the “what if kid” and we will listen to you later when he wakes up and again when he forgets your message.

Dear Dr. Mike,

Thank you so much! I was one of the many who needed that reminder! Please be patient with us ( maybe I am just speaking for myself 😀) in case we need it again, when closer to the election. Stay well!

Brilliant episode of today, paired by a great painting of Munch. Agree completely with you Michael: best way to talk about #DonnySmallhands is to give him NO attention, NONE.

Wishing all a good new week.

If you believe that Trump accomplished more than Biden, you must be dumb. Read up!

Self-educated correction: he actually said "I love the poorly educated."

As usual, Michael is brilliant! Not just for his insight, but for his comedic skills.

The media endlessly predicted a gop takeover of the US Legislature in 2022 based on bogus polls. It didn't happen then, and trump won't be elected to any office in 2024, either.

Thank you, Michael, for your clear-headed thinking and the comedic skills with which you express yourself. You keep Mark Twain's brand of American humor alive.

Thank you Michael!!!!! I so needed this reminder. I made calls & wrote postcards before the midterms after you posted links to sites where we could help. It felt good to do something to help Dems win in stead of just complaining. I'd love a list of links like that again.

Also, can you please tell us ideas on how to respond to people concerned about Biden's age? I want some help knowing what to say. THANKS AGAIN FOR THIS PODCAST - IT HELPED.

Perhaps you can say Trump is no "spring chicken" -- he's only 3 years younger than Biden!

OK, I feel much better after listening to your soothing podcast.

Now, as an SEIU member, proud Time-Traveling Janitor, Grand Master of the Circus Stercus and Doctor of Cacabumology, I would like to write what I hope will be the Coda of this seemingly never-ending Trump dump....

Somebody o-o-open up a window!

Then flush twice and spritz with lemon-scented Holy Water.

Trust me, it will work.

Thanks Dr Mike! My fear is not that the orange fuhrer can actually win, but rather that the magats have another tbd nefarious plan to again try to steal the election. Based on past experience, think of the most outlandish thing that one cud try to do to steal an election, and this guy will try it.

Dearest Dr MIke, I too believe that we will be alright although I fall into the internet web, less than before, less than when the orange buffoon was in office --- but still! I work on elections & have been so impressed at the first time voters ......standing in line for over an hour, after work, ready to come to the forefront & know: they will be in control!!! Their voices are important! Participation is key. THANK YOU THANK YOU! for always coming through for us with your many movies that my friends & I often reference. Just this weekend we were discussing 'Who will we invade next' concerning our bleak, Republican - bleached efforts to defund our public schools, head start, school lunches to facilitate good nutrition in learning while they, the R's collect with tax cuts, weaponry & lies. The fake Ds like Manchin & Sinema who have been traitors to the values we hold dearly. So sick of it all & can't believe this is where we are. BUT we are. As I lie here nursing a new hip, I LOVE YOU!!!! & THE TRUTH.

Too good "Dr Mike' , I rage in front of the TV when CNN and co put on this hogwash and toilet paper that goes for polls. Even MSNBC is the same these days. Hey Dr Mike does that awesome meat from Moink ship to Europe.

Whether you are right or not, this is why so many love you and subscribe. You tease, cajole, and inspire. . .without fear! Ray Leonard needed his Angelo Dundee, and despairing liberals (and there is plenty to despair over) need YOU! Thank you.

Thank you so much Dr. Mike for saying what I've known since the news media came out with their stupid polls of people who would vote for the orange thing. Now you confirmed the fact that they polled the r's, I did suspect that. Also I'm not frightened just angry and disgusted with the ignorance of republican Americans with eight grade diplomas. Anyway I think I'll do my few yoga moves now, downward dog, baby pose and lay flat on my back to relax and clear my head. I happen to be one of those radical left wing liberal old guys.

Oh, and by the way, concerning Biden age, what the assholes are saying that anyone that hits 80 is useless and belongs in a rest home. Well I'm 71 and will be 80 hopefully if I don't get hit by a bus or something and I still will have a 20 year old mentality. I'm voting for Biden, maybe even twice (heh).

By the way, did they bury Mitch McConnell yet? And who's his wife screwing, some 26 year old stud?

Loved it! Thanks Michael for a great podcast!

It would be great if the energy being put into worrying about T. was instead into doing something productive with campaigns, then there would be no more worries! I refuse to look at his face or hear about him. I change the channel or mute it. I refuse to listen to people who want to quack about T's latest behavior. It is bad for the brain.
