All purpose news and politics thread part VII: News & Politics Total Landscaping

Pretty much. I’ve read the Saudis put up something like $2 billion for the vanity project that’s LIV Golf (hardly a coincidence one of the tour’s stops is at Bedminster), so spending $60 million to bail out Trump would be child’s play.

I still don't know what was wrong with a national most dongive two thoughts about happen to fall on Easter. Unless one is an anti trans bigot.

[useridgoeshere]

So don't do anything to offend the bigots. Don't fly pride flags, don't talk about BLM. Don't irritate the anti trans. Let the bigots set the agenda.

This sounds like the premise for the next round of X-books.

When Mets ignores a post that he very recently replied to in order to make it out like I'm inconsistent, it's very clear he doesn't care about facts, presenting evidence, or focusing on the specifics. He'd rather mislead using outdated posts and claim he genuinely doesn't know things like how addition & subtraction work or what a post contains that he's replying to instead of admitting to how transparently dishonest he's being with every consecutive post. Another new double standard on display in claiming we should accept what mainstream media says without question, unless they report that Nex was murdered or how teachers in Florida are forced to pull books that haven't been approved by a Don't Say Gay law, or anything that shows the Bigotry on display by a conservative - then we shouldn't accept it because it's an exaggeration.

E: Daily Kos is trash for not updating their posts, but using outdated posts to slander another poster is perfectly acceptable to Mets? Who does he think he's kidding?

When I say The Week lied:

Can we just go like, one day, without posting a bunch of transphobic garbage, please?

While I don't think that any of this has resulted in any violence so far, you would think that folks would be hip to that the police are around by now...

The testimony of an Hebrew reservist on CourrierInternational (French and the whole text is under a paywall but if you read Hebrew, there’s a link inside) is chilly…

I suppose it’s expected that the prevailing mood is revenge but it’s striking how much it reminds me the testimonies of US soldiers in Vietnam…

This is what years of enabling and allowing Israel to act with impunity has brought us.

Revenue 4.1 million dollars
Lost 58 million dollars
Business value 6.3 billion dollars until yesterday, down to 3.6 billion when loss announced

Those…of course…are the high level financial numbers for Truth Social. Basically the business is being values as if it’s a brilliant business proposition…potentially the next Amazon/Google, and at some point revenue will start pouring in.

As the truth becomes apparent…basically that it’s a lot of hot air…further rapid price falls will be seen. Anyone holding shares should sell now.

I'm pretty sure Trump will next appeal to the company's board to shorten the waiting time until he can sell his stock. He needs money now.

It's so gross that this is necessary.

Yes. (Think presently he's required to hold the stock for 6 months before he can sell?).

I know you reported the loss a few days ago and predicted trouble for the Donald, but at time I didn't realise how small the revenue stream is in relation to the business valuation and losses.

Trump has posted the $175 million bond in the NY AG's civil fraud case in order to stay execution of the judgment while he appeals the verdict.

The bond surety: Knight Specialty Insurance Company, with a principal place of business in CA.


Looks like Don Hankey is the Chairman of Knight Insurance. He specializes in extending loans to people with bad credit:

As one stock analyst said of Truth Social , the stock for it is like GameStop's in 2021. How it exploded and fell to Earth leaving many to losses in the end. One claims the stock will fall to $2-3 a share.

More than likely, Trump will ignore that as well. He and/or his lawyers will scream bloody murder that his First Amendment rights are being violated, yadda yadda yadda. Also, it's not like he'll be arrested for violating the order, because he won't. That's for lesser folks like you or me.

I don't get it. What in hell is the worth in stock for an entity that serves no purpose other than giving Trump a platform to whine and bleat and bitch all day long. Could someone please explain this to me like I'm five?
