I hope Elon acts quickly to expose Trump and the GOP! He should confess to hacking the election for Trump and any dirt that would destroy the GOP before they “Epstein” him.

He will soon find out what it is to fuck around and find out the hard way.

Very poignant depiction of the truth! Who else can possibly write something like this other than someone who has truly experienced what it was like?

It’s sad that people are not able to see through what kind of person this (F)Elon really is! The fact that the GOP is enabling all the wrong things that are going on in our country is insane!

There will be a reckoning! I hope that these traitors who does not care about the American people will be voted out!!!

I'm unhealthily keen to see how badly Trump can fuck up the richest man in he universe. Vice versa would be even better, but I'd be very happy to see them both boiled in oil. Michael is best placed to know what to expect. God knows Trump was such a cunt to him, it was awful. But Elon deserves all that coming to him!

You will always be telling the truth, but there will be some poor fool who believes he can be "the one." Or maybe it will be Laura Loomer. Isn't that amazing?

Result: Identical twins all — Ivana, Ivanka, KimberlyG, KristiN, Marla, Tiffany, PamB, Melanoma, etc. The guy definitely has a lip fetish.

Malignant Narcissism:

"Preoccupied with fantasies about beauty, brilliance, success, and power

Unable to handle criticism

Tendency to lash out if they feel slighted

Likely to take advantage of others to get what they want

Overly concerned about their appearance

Expect to be treated as superior and craves this validation, also known as narcissistic supply

Lack of empathy for others

Inflated sense of self and inability to self-regulate

Have no remorse for hurting others and no interest in apologizing unless it benefits them

Have an attitude of deserving the best of everything

Tendency to monopolize conversations and/or mistreat those who they perceive as inferior

Hidden insecurity and a weak sense of self

Tendency to blame others for their own bad behavior

Additional signs of malignant narcissism can include:

Seeing the world in black-and-white terms, including seeing others as either friend or foe

Seeking to win at all costs, leaving a great amount of pain, frustration, and even heartache in their wake

Not caring about the pain they cause others—or maybe even enjoying it and experiencing it as empowering

Doing what it takes to protect themselves from loss, inconvenience, or failing to get what they want in any situation"

Add a dose of grandiose narcissism, where the bearer of this label consistently craves attention and praise

Add these all up, and who does it equal?

WOW, I'm not as good at math as Michael is, but is it Musk, Trump, bullshit Barbie, the puppy killer? Lots of variables in your formula, but I like it and it should be further reviewed. :-)

LOL, George. Sometimes math, especially when algebra is involved, may have multiple equivalents! :)

Don't feel that way. Good people eventually come around, it simply depends on a reality check. Sadly, that will take a little time. I just hope it won't be too late. It's how my elders lost the beautiful island of Cuba. May the force be with you.

Elon has one tool in his arsenal that others who have loved and lost with Don do not have..incredible wealth that is somewhat insulated from the whims of Trump, that Elon can use to threaten Congress, the very invertebrates that Trump needs for successful completion of his mission to destroy the United States.

Yeah, but Mvsk is not insulated from the wrath of the global citizenry. I think probably every one wants to see him FO bigly.

That’s true, but the fact that he’s a pariah in many ways does not negate the fact that he’s the richest man in the world and can use his riches as a big stick to heat up the lily-livered Congressional Republicans. Republicans stood by while he purchased an incompetent president, they understand that he can also destroy an incompetent elected official.

Good riddance to drug-riddled sociopath Musk. Now if we could just get the rest of sick MAGA out and especially the orange brat in chief. Unfortunately, as you write, there are so many of them waiting in the wings.

Thank you again Micheal. I love listening to you New York - Florida gangster voice, as my son describes it. because you were there and you learned your lesson. and you aren't the only one. Lev Parness was also a fixer. Or he was helping somehow and now he's trying to expose trumpet mans' nastyness. And we all know the bribes and the gifts and the scams and the buying and selling of pardons and government offices and it goes on and on. But I am one of the people who believes in our country and that we will survive this and emerge stronger. Speak on, man. Tell the truth!

We will survive this insanity. We will rebuild and be a better Country than ever. We will not let this regime take our Country down. They forget that it belongs to, We the People, and that means all peoples - not to the regime. They will try to harm us in many ways and we will stand strong against them. We will not waver, we will tell the truth, not their lies. We will rescue our Country from the liars, looser and cheats. We will hold our heads up in pride not for what they are doing, but for what we will do. God Bless

Oh, how the mighty fall! One word stood out in your Substack today. "Untouchable," I can't explain it, and I don't know how. Still, these last couple of days I've been having this feeling that Baron Von Shitsinpants' Teflon is beginning to wear out, be it slowly, but that coating is getting thinner and thinner the more the abuse occurs, and might be confiscated. If not imprisoned. I keep hearing one theme that both sides on the high and on the low seem to have in common. "Emoluments"

Michael Cohen, your prose becomes more prolific each and every time you post. I have been following you ever since you started on the Meidas Touch and also on your Mea Culpa channel. I also am an unpaid member as it has to be that way now as I am only living on SS which is not very much and now comes very sporadically. I was a legal assistant for over 37 years with the same company until they forced me to retire, so I am on an extremely limited income. Thus, I can no longer afford to spend any money as there is very little available for me to spend and although I am hoping things will eventually change, I truly doubt it. Sorry for taking up so much space as this is not about me but only the reason I cannot spend any money, I just wanted to commend you on your prolific prose. Thank you.

OMG. THIS, was more sobering than my cup of coffee this morning after too much red wine last night. WOW. You sure know how to tell it like it is. No one compares. Want truth? Want no bullshit? Want no sugarcoating? Look no further than the writings of Michael Cohen. America is in constant need of someone to WAKE YOU THE HELL UP--today and every day. Thank you Michael. Needed that. We all do. Let's keep going. I'm in.

The "war" between trumpf and musk has begun . . . . they are both despicable and not to be trusted ! His drug addiction was evident from the beginning; why did it take 4 months of drug induced psychotic behavior before anyone else noticed it ??

Michael, I wanted to express my support for you while in jail ! I am glad you are speaking out:)

I wouldn’t dismiss him as “powerless” just yet. He publicly threatened retaliation and DOGE exfiltrated all of our data in violation of the Privacy Act of 1974. There is that quote, “all the fck you money in the world and [he] is still afraid”. Richest Man in the World…afraid. One thing he’s not afraid of is deadlines. Given his townhall announcements, those swasticars ought to be self driving from LA to NY by now. Also, by his own announcements, he ought to be in Mars by now.

Ikeep on pointing out that the dream of going toMars is not just Elons' feverdream. Remember John Glenn on the moon; ONE small step for man, a giant step for mankind. Science fiction readers have dreamt of this for many years! We dream of going to other planets , maybe meeting other kinds of peoples that are different from us. They could help us, they could destroy us, we won't know until it happens. Right now i'm reading stories by James Corey who has written many popular science fiction books over the years. And theres Kim STanley Robinson and Octavia Butler, Ursula K. Mcguin and so many other great writers. More great writers coming upAnd game of thrones, G. R. R. Martin is a science fiction writer too. People are now hoping his novel Fevre Dream will be made into a tv show, its about a vampire who makes a blood substitute and goes up and down the Mississipee on a riverboat trying to get the other vampires to drink it. OH vampires are another cultural token in the Modern world. True Blood, Vikings, and Philip Jose Farmers "To Your Scattered Bodies Go", there's so many more. Some became popular or even blockbusters. some quietly disappeared. Dr Who is another cultural icon. Firefly! Even Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel! James Blishs' wonderful story about the people trying to make a spaceship, then you pull out to get a better view, and the spaceship is a raindrop, the people are the size of bacteria and they are trying to get to the next mudpuddle. Brilliant! I'm probably forgetting so many others. If anyone remembers more, feel free to continue my comment

Rachel Maddow, Kaitlan Collins, and I think Steven Colbert did some episodes regarding the missed milestones at Tesla and Starlink…there is a list of these townhalls. Steve Wozniak also did an interview where he commented on this “powerlessness”. I return to the point: He is not powerless yet, just all that fck you money in the world and still afraid…but not of deadlines that he himself proclaimed to investors and stakeholders.
