To be fair(ly pedantic), for DJT to profit his $83 million back on a 2% rise in stock value, he would need to own $4.15 billion in stock. This would equate to about 3.4% of all shares outstanding, which puts him close to needing to report this to the SEC. It would also be hard to hide $4.1 billion of stock being transferred to him, even if done over a number of months. ---

Has Trump twuthed anything about the immunity ruling? ---

He cried that the ruling that prevents him from committing criminal acts while in office is “nation-destroying”. ---

Well, he owes $83 million. So some nice words about Annheuser-Busch might get him a big donation. If it does, then he will Twuth nice things about General Motors, Microsoft, and of course, McDonald’s. ---

I have no doubt that the Annheuser-Busch check had already cleared by the time he made the Twuth about them. Meanwhile if General Motors, Microsoft, and of course, McDonald’s fail to come up with contributions of their own, then they will be on that list he’s building of companies that DESTROY AMERICA! This is a blatant extortion effort. ---

I’ve read that Trump actually does use Heinz, because they make tiny airplane size bottles that pop when you open them, indicating that you might not be poisoned. ---

House GOP fails to impeach Mayorkas. From CNN: > It’s a colossal embarrassment for Republican leaders, who pushed the issue for political reasons despite legal scholars disputing the GOP case. It looks like the GOP was not good at counting the votes, nor keeping all the members in line. ---

Republicans: “fix the border” Democrats: “OK here’s a bill to fix the border” Republicans “No, we don’t want to fix the border. We want to blame you.” Also Republicans: “We’re going to impeach this guy for not fixing the border.” Also also Republicans: “We screwed up the impeachment, so we get a do-over.” ---
