I saw a tweet earlier that the Official Twitter Account for TRUTH SOCIAL posted a tweet with America First! and a photo of the Liberian Flag instead of the American one.
They may have deleted it now, but there are screen shots, which I saw but can’t figure out how to copy.
Trump calling his site Truth anything is just him being his usual troll.
He wanted to call it “Pravda”, but Putin sued him over trademark infringement.
Hell, why not just call it “LIES”? It’s not like that will deter any likely subscribers.
Or, to be fancy, “MENDACITY” – he can even trademark the name. He practically has already.
It also has a “non-disparagement clause” in the TOS and is a SPAC, which is some kind of shady stock/fundraising gimmick?
here ya go:
Damn, is Trump positioning himself for a hostile takeover of Lindell’s Frank?!
More information about the SPAC that is merging with Trumps Media in order to start Trump’s social network. Looks like its already fulfilling its primary purpose of fleasing the rubes.
It sounds like its probably deluded MAGAts who are driving the price,
The ticker DWAC was among the top 10 most popular names on Reddit’s WallStreetBets chatroom Thursday, even exceeding meme stock GameStop’s mentions, according to alternative research provider Quiver Quantitative.
That could be a sign that retail investors active on social media platforms were fueling the rally in the SPAC.
…
A corporate overview of Trump’s new company does not list any officers, employees, or operations.
The CEO also has a somewhat politically inconvenient employment history.
Orlando, who graduated from MIT, spent five years at Deutsche Bank, where he worked with emerging markets fixed income derivatives.
Orlando later moved into the South American sugar industry and is currently involved with at least three other SPACs, or so-called blank check companies: Yunhong International, Benessere Capital Acquisition, and Maquia Capital Acquisition.
Orlando is CEO of Yunhong International, which was incorporated in the Cayman Islands in 2020 and which lists its headquarters in Wuhan, China.
If I were the speculative type, I’d be taking a look at Put Options on DWAC with about a 6 month time frame.
Apparently Jim Jordan doesn’t want teachers any safer then students under his watch,
I see it being different in quite a number of ways.
First of all, In-n-Out doesn’t serve alcohol, so checking ID is not something that employees would ever be asked to do. Then there’s the fact that the number of people who would fight about whether they need to show ID to buy alcohol are in the fringe, and are almost all underage. Checking the birthdate on an ID is not as medically invasive as checking vaccine status. Also, you only need to check ID on those buying alcohol, not everyone entering the establishment.
I can see how someone who wouldn’t be involved in having to check on the vaccine status of customers wouldn’t see it being any different and being rather indifferent to putting the burden of public health safety on the shoulders of some teenager working for minimum wage, but having been in that position, I see it as different, quite different in fact.
More than 6 in 10 Republicans tell pollsters they believe Biden’s win was fraudulent, despite all the evidence to the contrary? Out of those, I reckon a minority, maybe 20%, are complete fools, too stupid to tell apart their butt from a hole in the ground, who believe that claim is literally true. But the majority, maybe 80% of them, are venal fools. They’re able to convince themselves they “believe” it because it’s seen as a strategy to grab power.
Everyone’s familiar with Orwell’s concept of “doublethink,” which is not irrelevant here. But much better than Orwell, I think, Sinclair Lewis in It Can’t Happen Here and Isabel Allende in House of the Spirits went into some depth on the psychology of those who choose to throw in their lot with oncoming Fascism and how they manage to rationalize it to themselves.
My god Jim Jordan’s a dick.
Paraphrasing,
“Police commissioner, was the decision to send officers to the local 7-11 influenced in any way by the 911 call made by the clerk reporting an armed robbery? Doesn’t this mean that you are going to start arresting kids buying slurpees?”
I was gonna point out the Truth/Pravda irony but somebody beat me to it in the FB comments shown in the article.
My bold.
Nitpick (unless I’m missing some sub-tile humor): “fleecing,” as in shearing the sheep, i.e., relieving them of their fleece.
fleece /flēs/ verb
gerund or present participle: fleecing
- informal obtain a great deal of money from (someone), typically by overcharging or swindling them.
“money that authorities say he fleeced from well-to-do acquaintances”
“Medically invasive”? Seattle already has a similar rule for entertainment venues - all I have to do is show the doorman a picture of my vaccine card or a screenshot from the state vaccine database.
Always hear that in Burl Ives’s voice (cf. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof).
I like the typo. The fleece has fleas!
Something like that crossed my mind, too… when the sheep leave, they’re infested with fleas. It kind of works.
It’s fleas all the way down…
Ooh, sounds like she’s associated with these doofuses. Have we mocked them properly yet?
TBF, given that they’re all Trumpians, I guess “do lots of hard work towards a common goal that help people other than yourself” probably DOES sound a lot like tyrrany to them. I mean, not like the sort of thing they’d get on board with voluntarily
Step 5) Blame the failure on Antifa, Biden, Hillary etc.
