rolling “Trump is gonna win” containment thread

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.

where's the txt returns

After Jesse Watters ran this segment and Trump posted it, this juror asked to be excused because she was concerned about her identity becoming public. Fox & Trump are coordinating to intimidate jurors.

really not feeling good about things today

things are apparently getting better for Biden polls-wise, and looking better for Congress too.

Again, all I want from the trials is that he is annoyed, distracted, harassed, and 24/7 upset until he has a stroke.

I want his life to be miserable, and all those around him. I want them wishing they were never born.

the more shit he tries to pull the longer the whole process is gonna take. I mean I'm not hopeful any meaningful consequences are gonna come out of this but the election is in 7 months and criminal court is not exactly where you wanna be

That's a good point, the longer he delays this, the longer he has to sit in there.

if he...wins again - i have a REALLY big problem typing that - is there at least a chance that he will spend the four years in courtrooms? because maybe that is the best people can hope for. or can he just stop everything legal for four years?

i'd like him to go away forever so i can stop thinking about him. not particular about how that happens

Tracer otm.

I feel better from an electoral standpoint, though not great, as polls and betting markets continue to move towards Biden, and I don't think the memes about Trump sleeping in court and other mockery, which subconsciously weakens him in the mind of low-info voters, is going to help him.

from a "rule of law" standpoint, I am a bit on edge with him and his state-run media at Fox attempting to threaten jurors. I don't know much about contempt, what the judge is allowed to do, etc, so I can't comment on that, but these types of judges are not used to having former sitting Presidents facing criminal trial in court. Particularly ones powerful enough that they can have entire news networks doing their bidding.

I worry that the usual methods of dissuading this behavior may not be effective. a garden-variety CEO under criminal investigation might take threats from the judge seriously, but Trump is an old white man who's gotten his own way and can weaponize millions of people and news organizations, and simply being told 'don't do that, I mean it this time' isn't going to cut it.

help him = help Trump

i’m at home with my dad right now and he has msnbc on all the time and EVERY. SHOW might as well be called “the trump show” it is fucking psychotic, people are transfixed by him, i’m going out of my mind. my dad keeps telling me stuff and i am like please stop talking to me about donald fucking trump. please. i’ve got an idea for msnbc if they think they’re so progressive why not talk about something besides the most loathesome human being in the world just an idea
