rolling “Trump is gonna win” containment thread

he could do a lot of other cool stuff.

why start now

he could build all the houses like that peanut-eating motherfucker with the drunk brother.

I think Biden's best move at this stage would be to select a new VP running mate that's reasonably popular, youngish, and reassuring, so that if anything happened to Biden in the next four years most people would feel comfortable with the veep running the country.

As poor judgment as I think Biden has shown in seeking a second term, dumping Kamala would be even worse imo. I know she's also not very popular, but she does have kind of a base and also the optics of old-white-man-dumps-woman-of-color would be double plus ungood.

Biden's dumped the unpopular and impossible on her, pretty sure a VP who could stand apart from Biden (or have been in position to replace him this year) was never a goal of his team.

Probably a separate containment thread needed for 'Biden scrapes victory, Trump runs again in 2028 even more deranged and debilitated, beats young Democrat woman'.

i was sorta ready to be ok+ w kamala but was bummed when i found her to have like, the opposite of charisma, at least to me. but agreed, no do-overs from here. yeah i know others have plenty more substantial objs.

the best thing would be for biden to dump harris for someone better and then find someone better to run for president as well.

Hunter Biden 2024

lol *flag* double substitution

You might have preferred to drink a beer with George W Bush over Al Gore but surely you'd rather do rails with Hunter than Trump.

if dems had a bench allowing for rotation while still competing in both league and cups then there'd not be any discussion but alas

I'd do rails with Trump! I mean, I might die, but he definitely would.

one has to choose a medium to which he is prisoner. your death match is by... hamberder.

or kfc and sundry others. there is some room, some room.

From the outside, it looked pretty clear that the 2020 Democratic party decided "we've tried something other than the usual mold three times now and it worked twice and failed once, so we are never trying that again for another generation"

I guess by that you mean running a woman candidate, and I agree. I think women should run the entire world but am not expecting to see a woman US president in my limited remaining lifetime

If Harris became president by circumstance I would not be disappointed

Dan otm

anyone got some cool posi stuff to post about Biden re Rafah?

sic, calm down, he’s “deeply concerned.”

Not so much a joke as an excuse to post one of my favorite songs:

bump

give me something, a single example, of any real world consequence that this guy has suffered in the last 8 years

He had to pay $25 million or something after that Trump University fraud?

fines don't count, he can easily pay them (so far) by scamming his fanatics for money as has been well documented, and the fines obviously have not affected his lifestyle in any way

and the "can't do business in NY" thing is pending appeal, so....

at least Rand Paul got his ass kicked by his neighbor, where is this patriot when we need him

Everybody knows how small his dick is.

if he loses the election in November then all these delayed court cases are belong to us

it's not much, it's all I got

Yes, and agree it's not much

Nobody cares much about how much money he has had to pay for any of his civil trials.

A felony conviction would probably have sealed the election for Biden, but after the unanimous DC Federal Court decision brilliantly arguing 3-0 that he doesn't have immunity as a civilian for rogue actions taken while he was president, the Supreme Court decided to take up the case, not only delaying the hearings but staying the case from moving forward, so that it is not going to be resolved by November.

Add that to Aileen Cannon as the presiding judge over Jack Smith's document case, and I agree with sleeve, fuck this country

Dubya has the blood of a million innocents on his hands and gets to be an adorable grandpa painter and avatar for Good Republicans now, Trump getting embarrassed about his toadstool dick and fined is somehow the most punishment any of our war criminals in chief have suffered.

love this post milo. this contrast v important.

Sleeve and milo both right

trump is about to have absolutely no money

and by about i mean within the next month

Trump Media co-founders sue company, alleging a scheme to dilute shares

The co-founders of former president Donald Trump’s media company filed a lawsuit Wednesday, claiming that Trump and other leaders had schemed to deprive them of a stake in the company that could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

The case could complicate a long-delayed bid by Trump Media & Technology Group, owner of the social network Truth Social, to merge with a special purpose acquisition company called Digital World Acquisition and become a publicly traded company.

That merger deal, which could value Trump’s stake in the company at more than $3 billion, would offer the former president a financial lifeline at a time when he is facing more than $454 million in penalties from a civil fraud judgment this month in New York.

...

Andy Litinsky and Wes Moss, who met Trump as contestants on his reality show “The Apprentice,” pitched Trump on the idea of a Trump-branded tech start-up and social media platform in early 2021 after he lost the White House and was banned from Twitter, now called X.

Trump agreed to the deal and was given 90 percent of the company, according to a motion for expedited proceedings filed Wednesday in the Delaware Court of Chancery by the co-founders’ partnership, United Atlantic Ventures. The partnership took 8.6 percent, while an attorney on the deal, Bradford Cohen, was given the remaining 1.4 percent, the motion states.

UAV launched the Trump Media business, hired employees and raised funding while receiving no “fee or payment for its work,” the motion said. And though Litinsky and Moss left Trump Media that year amid a dispute with its current leadership, UAV retained its shares, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing this month from Digital World.

The filing said that Trump was set to receive 78 million shares in the post-merger company — a stake worth $3.5 billion at today’s share price — and that UAV would receive more than 7 million shares, a stake worth about $339 million. “Throughout TMTG’s corporate history,” the motion states, “UAV’s 8.6 percent ownership interest has been recognized and honored.”

But UAV’s attorneys allege in the motion that Trump has recently attempted to “drastically dilute” the partnership’s stake as part of what they called an “11th hour, pre-merger corporate maneuvering” tactic designed to increase the amount of authorized stock, from 120 million shares to 1 billion shares.

UAV’s attorneys wrote that the “dilution scheme” had “no legitimate business purpose” and suggested that Trump and the Trump Media board planned to issue the new shares to “Trump and/or his associates and children,” watering down UAV’s stake to less than 1 percent.

UAV was “promised 8.6 percent of this company and sadly its business partners are baselessly trying to renege,” said the partnership’s lead attorney, Christopher J. Clark of Clark Smith Villazor, in an interview with The Washington Post describing the lawsuit. “They feel like: We made Truth Social for you. You get 90 percent. But some people just aren’t happy with 90 percent.”

Wake me when he actually pays anyone for anything anywhere or loses an actual thing or building or whatever. I keep hearing about some comeuppance that is imminent. Cool, but I will only rejoice when it arrives.

Narnia: always winter but never Christmas.

No I figure one more lawsuit is what will bring him down

Hey maybe someone should consider suing him, that will certainly be his doom

all his building are probably leveraged up to the point that he doesn't really own them.

preferably while it's in the air, in this case
