Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

sadly my account didn't have access to shares to sell, it was up near $75 when I was looking at it, now below $67

the world we live in

yup. stock manipulation has a proud history stretching back to the first stock markets in London and Paris and it's one of the more lucrative of the dark arts. this is one for the record books.

God Bless The USA Bible

"Make America PRAY again' barf

Organizers of the 'Make America Pray, Or Else' movement cite the Second Amendment as a great assistance to their efforts.

a bible with a bill of rights appendix, the pledge of allegiance... can't get more christian nationalist than that

the bible shit is just noise to defray talk about his legal position. effective tactic for this guy over the years. clown a little, they focus on the clown shoes

All Americans need a bible in their home and I have many … to sell.

In re that gag order I find this bit mentioned by the NYT even more telling:

In an unrelated order Tuesday, Justice Merchan issued a stern warning to Mr. Trump’s lawyers as well. He reminded them to behave professionally, or risk being held in contempt.

“This court emphasizes that it hopes for and fully expects zealous advocacy from counsel as well as spirited contribution from witnesses and parties alike,” Justice Merchan wrote. “Nonetheless, the court expects that the line between zealous advocacy and willful disregard of its orders will not be crossed.”

This is not how you want to be addressed before the case has even begun.

where's the consequences?

they're hidden in 21 cardboard file boxes stacked in a secret cupboard at Mar A Lago

There's not a Cross nor a picture of Jesus on the page, but plenty of photos of Trump. Who do you think this $60 bible is for?

It sure isn't for Jesus. https://t.co/9Q9v8Gk2qf

“This is not how you want to be addressed before the case has even begun.”

Yuuuup

This is the court saying “fuck around and find out”

i'm sympathetic to the idea that truth social is actually worthless and that the 3.5 billion valuation (that i've seen attached to it in various headlines/articles over the last few months) is way too high and is being propped up by professional liars.

Supposedly most of the market was people who were buying DJT in order to short it. But I'm afraid of some sort of The Producers scenario, in which between the would-be short sellers and the true believers who HODL on to stiggit to the libz, somehow leads to TS having enough market value for Trump to realize substantial gains.

(Disclaimer: I have not seen any version of The Producers.)

Not even the 1931 version?

more motions to dismiss based on constitutional grounds happening now in Fulton County and streaming live

good morning, where's the consequences?

guess we need to see if the actual trial ever happens

Even after he’s dead and buried, the “good morning!/where’s the ____?” one/two punch combo should stick around here

Where's the wooden stake?

I do my best to compartmentalize and go about life, but I feel like this asshole has been eroding my soul for years now.

Same

Ha I’m on a rad trip through FL this week and kinda near Mar a Lago and thought about driving by but then thought “why is this guy in my head so much? Fuck Mar a Lago!!”

It hurts the soul a bit to realize we are sliding into the abyss with little power to stop it.

Negronis for everyone!

Not being a US citizen probably makes it easier but after this guy got voted out I decided to excise him from my head, UNLESS something bad is happening to him like being hauled into court. Trump said something bad? Don't click the link - the substance of what he said is irrelevant. He whined about a witch hunt? Who cares. Life's hard enough without some clown (who's completely unaware of your existence) poisoning your precious thoughts.

Don't worry, someone's on the case

Same here. Now that MSNBC has retreated to its did-you-HEAR-what-Trump-said mode on its non-Chris Hayes broadcasts it's way easier to tune him out.

Back in SE Pennsylvania again, there are still no (literal) signs of the guy, which is passively reassuring. But I was just driving around the North Carolina research triangle and environs - Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Greensboro, etc. - and I know that area is probably an outlier but I didn't see any signs or stickers there, either. Some Biden, some pro-choice billboards, some lingering Haley yard signs, but no Trump. Probably because this one exception was hogging all the flair:

Not sure the "My Body" and "L0ve Them B0th" stickers aren't cancelling each other out there

Love them both: Guns and Trump

the fault dear usa is not in our trump, but in ourselves etc etc

xpost The "my body" one is anti-vax, if you check out the detail.

Obviously committed voting fraud if he has Youngkin and Bob Good stickers along with all the NC specific ones.

Not Trump related but it was great to see Youngkin eat shit with the Capitals/Wizards arena

Virginia's for lovers, but trust there's hate here
For out-of-towners, who think that they gon' move weight here

why did he mention David Lynch?

This guy?

SE PA update: still no Trump flags, but I've now seen a couple of pickups with big American flags mounted on the back, so I assume they are in the zone.

Don't worry, in 2020 they had roadside stands in SE PA where you could buy Trump flags for your big ass truck.

Like when the Eagles are in the Superbowl

I don't think David Lynch has ever openly supported Trump but he did say something like "Why not just give him a chance? See what he can do." (This when Trump was president.) Which he walked back pretty quickly, as I recall.

The guy probably just heard the word "lynch."

I've said this before but I had never seen more Confederate flags in my life in one place than in rural Southwestern Pennsylvania in 2016 or so, more than even in the parts of the South I've traveled (never been to Mississippi or Alabama). And waaaaay more than I've ever seen in Maryland.
