A Perfectly Reasonable Amount of Schadenfreude about Things Happening to Trump & His Enablers (Part 1)

You don’t have to register with a party in Colorado. You can vote in either primary, but only one.

But Colorado has All Vote by Mail. Do you get both primary ballots at once and then return only one? If not, how does the Elections Office know which one to send you?

I get both ballots at once with multiple clear warnings to only submit one.

The language from the state website regarding Primary elections in Colorado FAQ section says

Q2. Who can vote in a Primary Election?

A2. During either the Presidential or June primary:

  • Voters affiliated with a major party: may cast a ballot for candidates of the party they are affiliated with.
  • Voters affiliated with a minor party: if there is a minor party contest those affiliated with that minor party may cast a ballot for those candidates.
  • Unaffiliated voters: An unaffiliated voter may cast a ballot for any one political party. If an unaffiliated voter returns a ballot with more than one political party, the ballot will be rejected and none of the votes will be counted.

and

Q12. I am an unaffiliated voter. Why did I get two ballots sent to me during a primary?

A12. Most unaffiliated voters will receive the ballots of both major political parties during a primary election. This allows an unaffiliated voter to choose which party’s primary they will vote in. Unaffiliated voters may only return one party’s ballot. Returning two voted ballots will result in neither ballot counting.

Hope that helps.

Indeed. If i read it correctly, voters can register as a member of a party and if so, they only get that party’s primary ballot. While unaffiliated voters get both but can only return one. (This is different from my state where unaffiliated only get to vote on non-partisan races such as judges and local officials like mayors.)

So, as I said, registered Democrats would have had to reregister to influence Republican primary races. I wasn’t aware they had the option of reregistering as unaffiliated and still affecting the R races, but other wise I was right.

Here you go!

It’s not an easy read, I recommend you scan through the pages and pages of stuff about how incompetent they will probably be as a company, look for the section entitled “Risks Related to our Chairman President Donald J Trump” for most of what I described.

Thanks for that and in particular the hint about where to look. Its makes a nice convenient list of all of Trumps current legal liabilities, and buisness failures all in one place.

I did happen across an interesting little tidbit of whch I was previously unaware.

As further described in the section titled, “Information about TMTG,” President Trump is generally obligated to make any social media post on TruthSocial and may not make the same post on another social media site for 6 hours.

So if TruthSocials technical difficulties make it impossible for the the KFT (Ketchup flinging toddler) to post there, it will render him mute elsewhere.

Here’s another good one I missed the first time.

TMTG has entered into a license agreement with President Trump wherein neither the personal nor political conduct of President Trump, even if such conduct could negatively affect TMTG’s reputation or brand or be considered offensive, dishonest, illegal, immoral, or unethical, or otherwise harmful to TMTG’s brand or reputation, shall be considered a breach of the license agreement

Man, that is a sweet deal. It made me laugh at first, but then I thought, what kind of power does a person have to have to be able to get terms like that in a business deal? I sobered up real quick.

So, Trump could post a video of himself shooting somebody in the middle of 5th Ave. and it wouldn’t be cause to break the deal?

ParallelLines answered, but yep, they send you both. It’s very easy to vote in Colorado, as it should be. I think we should be able to vote on both. It it’s to be a Repub, then this one, for a Dem, then this one.

I’m probably not thinking this through though…

I liked this line:

“If President Trump becomes less popular or there are further controversies that damage his credibility or the desire of people to use a platform associated with him, and from which he will derive financial benefit, TMTG’s results of operations could be adversely affected.”

My bolding.

But I don’t understand this. If he becomes less popular, and people use other platforms, he will “derive financial benefit”? What does that mean?

If the desire of people to use a platform from which he benefits declines, TMTG will be in trouble.

Thanks. It’s phrased strangely, to my ear.

Naturally we’re all wondering:

I think this is the best thread to drop this in…

It’s all about the grift.

So if somebody posts a paywalled link from the Washington Examiner, but makes it free to us, can we call it a grift link?
