I was going to jump in with this: Alert his probation officer AFTER the gala has been rolling for a little while.

Its probably that he has already collected the admission fees so he’s gotten everything he wanted from it. Actually holding the event would involve expenses, actually paying out to the Jan 6’ers that the banquet is supposed to support. Further once those guys realize that after Don’s cut for overhead they don’t get enough to cover bus fare back home, it might result in bad press.

I have a great idea for a money-making business! I’m going to call it “The Short Sellers Guide to Trump Family Business Ventures”. It’s an investment opportunity that too many are missing. From Trump Airlines to Trump Casinos, Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, Trump University, Trump Gold Sneakers, Trump Bibles, Trump Non-Existent Virtual Trading Cards, or the extremely rare and precious Pieces of Trump Suit Worn at his Mugshot, all these ventures are just begging for bets for the losing side. But not enough investors know about them!

This is where my investment advisory website comes in. I propose to call it E5S. Stands for “Everything That Trump Touches Turns To Shit”. We know this, but not everyone has the expertise to be able to make money off it. I think providing this guidance for a small fee could be a real business opportunity!

Man, how could he have known? If only someone had filed 60 lawsuits over this issue, and lost virtually every single one, maybe he could have had a chance to figure this out without being explicitly told about it like everyone non-MAGA tried to tell him.

Alas, we’ll never know what might have happened in that fanciful imaginary alternate history…

Tim Pool’s current defense is “I was saying this stupid shit long before Russia started paying me to say this stupid shit!”, which isn’t quite the defense he thinks it is.

When the Russian invasion started, my MAGA mother was straight up spouting Russian propaganda. Things like how we (the United States) promised Russia NATO wouldn’t expand or that the United States had biological weapons labs in Ukraine. When I explained that she was incorrect and was spouting Russian propaganda she didn’t believe me. I wonder if she might change her mind now?

Jake Broe on YouTube talked about this yesterday, he dug into the $/video these people earned and finishes the segment with Tim Pool’s social post saying how Ukraine are the good guys after all. There is also a pretty disgusting clip with donald trump jr, I didn’t know about any of these creators before this. The URL is timestamped to start at the relevant bit.

His current position, entirely coincidentally, is that Ukraine is America’s enemy.  
Ahh makes you miss the old days when the right falsely accused everyone on the left of being Soviet stooges as opposed to now where we have actual evidence of some on the right being actual paid Russian stooges!
