It might be time for a Georgia thread soon, as more news comes out of there. Kempt would rather have his teeth pulled than have to testify against Trump and especially Miss Lindsey just before election season. Now all the cast of characters will be under oath before a grand jury and the DOJ is watching too, Donald is on their radar and they will want any leverage they can get over potential witnesses. I dunno if this will result in any indictments before the election, but Donald's recorded phone call is pretty low hanging fruit for the opening rounds.

I figure when Donald's TV trial does begin in Georgia it will become known as the battle of Atlanta, the battleground will be on the courthouse steps of Fulton Co. The circus will be on TV inside the courtroom and Donald will be the clown with republicans refuting the big lie to his face on TV, while he has to sit there and STFU, or be ball gaged and tied to his chair! Get popcorn, it will be epic! :lol:

Truth Social's ugly truth

Truth Social's ugly truth

Truth Social, the app launched by Donald Trump as a free speech platform for conservatives, is facing serious financial and legal stress as it tries to survive.

Why it matters: The app is the former president's biggest business venture since leaving office — and his best effort to create an alternative populist megaphone to amplify his political brand after being banned from Twitter.
Driving the news: Truth Social owes one of its vendors, an internet infrastructure company for conservatives called RightForge, around $1.6 million in backdated payments, sources familiar with the disagreement told Axios.
  • The situation, first reported by Fox Business, puts Truth Social at risk of losing the cloud hosting support that it needs to operate.
  • Truth Social soft launched in February and rolled out widely to all U.S. iOS users in May. Cloud support, sources told Axios, may have contributed to Truth Social's full rollout delay.
Zoom in: If Truth Social fails to come up with the cash to pay back RightForge, the dispute could move to arbitration, one source noted.
  • "RightForge is committed to servicing the client," CEO Martin Avila told Axios. "We were there from the ground floor and we support the president and all of his endeavors and we're committed to building a free speech American ideas based internet.”
The big picture: Beyond financial issues, Truth Social and the blank check company it plans to merge with in order to go public are facing serious legal problems and regulatory probes that could derail those plans.
  • The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has refused Trump's application for a trademark for "Truth Social."
  • The blank check company — called Digital World Acquisition Corp. — is under investigation by the SEC for possibly negotiating their deal prior to going public, which is illegal if true.
  • An investor sued Digital World Acquisition Corp.'s CEO last year, claiming fraud.
  • There's been confusion regarding whether or not certain members of Truth Social's board are actually still on the board, including Trump himself.
Between the lines: Truth Social's financial problems are tied, in part, to setbacks related to the merger.
  • Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the parent company to Truth Social, announced its plans to merge with Digital World Acquisition Corp. last year, a move that would take it public.
  • Going public would give TMTG access to roughly $1 billion it says it has raised from various hedge funds and investors.
  • Last week, DWAC tried to delay its earnings report to securities regulators. The week before, it asked shareholders to approve an extension of its merger agreement with TMTG by a year.
State of play: It's unclear who has been backing the app's operations up to this point. The missed payments to at least one of its top vendors suggest Truth Social is struggling to maintain financial stability while it waits to access that cash.
  • According to its latest regulatory filings, DWAC has roughly $293 million in cash held in a trust, which represents the vast majority of its assets.
  • Neither TMTG or DWAC has responded to a request for comment.
The intrigue: It's unclear how many people — or exactly who — is working for Truth Social. Most members of Trump's presidential inner circle are not involved in Truth Social's day-to-day operations.
  • Its CEO, former Republican Congressman Devin Nunes, makes occasional media appearances to discuss the app, and a few people say on LinkedIn that they work for Truth Social.
  • Earlier this year, three top officials in product, technology and legal left the company. Two sources familiar with the departures said the executives resigned in part due to cash flow issues.
Yes, but: The app's administrative challenges haven't stopped conservatives from exploring the service, where Trump now posts regularly without worry about being throttled or banned.
  • As of mid-August, the app had nearly 3 million downloads worldwide across iOS (mostly in the U.S. and a few thousand in the UK), per Data.ai, an app measurement company.
  • Truth Social saw a surge of downloads in response to the FBI’s execution of a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago earlier this month.
  • Trump has nearly 4 million followers on the app, compared to the roughly 88 million he had on Twitter prior to being banned last year.
What we're watching: Truth Social is not yet available on Android operating systems, which means that around 44% of smartphone users in the U.S. can't download it.

the motherfuckers picked trump because they knew he would play dirty...now they're trying to distance themselves from their own dirty fighter. think he's going to go willingly? think for one second he won't fight just as dirty against them if they try to get rid of him?
they fucking resurrected frankenstein's monster, and now they want to be able to just put him on a shelf and have him stay there, nice and quiet? get fucking real.

Couldn't happen to a better bunch, at a better time, vote, donate and work for America, then get some popcorn and watch the show, it will be epic. :lol: Win in November and it will be awesome, as the democrats set an independent special counsel on the republicans and pass new laws to cut domestic terrorists and those who support them off at the knees, while reforming voting laws and leveling the electoral playing field.

The fact trumpf's numbers went up 10% among the GOP when he was found to have stolen classified documents tells you all you need to know about their base. The ones in office now know that in the short term they will lose if they speak up. They also know that in the long run, they are losers if they don't. Most will play the short game.

gerrymandering has to go. if it takes getting rid of the electoral college, then lets get the fuck rid of it, it was a shitty compromise to get racists to cooperate to begin with. trash that shit and lets just go with one person, one vote, every fucking one counts the same as every other one, no matter where the caster lives. that may fuck over a few democrats, but it will fuck over ten times as many republicans, who are only hanging on by their gerrymandered fingernails.
if they have to keep the electoral college, then take redistricting out of the hands of state politicians, allowing them to control it makes as much sense as manchin sitting on the energy committee...all redistricting should be done by federal judges, from another state, to avoid possible bias. allowing either party to control something that powerful is like handing a used car salesman your checkbook and telling him to write his own check, you trust him....

There is a limit to what they can do and they must choose carefully, protecting the constitution and democratic rights comes first though. They would have 2 years to make a difference and must be careful not to piss off too many people, stick to the basics that will ensure free and fair elections in 2024. One election at a time and one step at a time, nothing too radical on the social front to spook independent voters. The democrats don't represent the left any more, they now represent a cross section of American patriots who want responsible government and liberal democracy.

Packing the court could cost 2024, better to do impeachment inquiries of Thomas and the vetting of Kavanagh for now. Pass the laws now and by the time the various appeals get to the SCOTUS, it will be packed after 2024.

If the republicans lose on abortion it should cause a war inside the GOP, abortion is well past it's best before date as an issue and many republicans know it. However appeasing the anti abortion bunch is the same as appeasing the MAGA morons, it makes them unelectable, except in places where the local population is strongly majority white, bigoted and stupid.
