A reminder that this Friday, September 30th, is the date when Trump's lawyers must reveal to the special master what evidence was "planted" by the FBI at Mar-A-Lago. This should be fun.

So Trump only has a few options:

1. Admit that he lied. I am not sure what the legal repercussions of that would be in this case. I would love to hear some informed opinions on that
2. Lie and provide a false list of evidence. Which since the inventory of what he stole is well indexed and detailed with a paper trail, his lies will immediately be made clear. Again, I am not sure what the repercussions of lying here would be

I feel for the people of Iran, but they need to overthrow their government again. Nothing will change as long as they're a theocracy.

Yea I mean, we know what conservatives believe in. They're just dropping their mask more and more often now.

I bet if we held a nationwide poll of only republican voters and concealed the results so that people could truly express their opinion without fear of it being revealed, republican voters would admit that they don't think girls and women would need any education beyond middle school. According to conservatives, women just need to learn to read, write, perform basic arithmetic, and master home economics. Then they can be forcibly married off to some loser incel and make babies.

The billion was merely a stated commitment, that funding is not secured. And with the merger in legal question and being halted by the SEC while they investigate, they may not be able to complete the merger at all - which is the major point.

Stock prices have dropped so much that DWA (the investment group) cannot secure a 65% shareholder vote.

In other words, all of the information and events together reveal that the deal is shady to begin with, and all of the numbers they threw out were smoke and mirrors. The only numbers that actually matter are the hard figures listed - like stock devaluation and known secured funding that is now withdrawn, etc.

Then remember they're being sued by their infrastructure vendor for not paying their bills (over $1.6m at last count), and they couldn't even get their copyright for the name Truth Social.

Basically, if anyone reads the articles in their entirety and walks away thinking "well geez, that ain't bad", then they're looking for a reason to disagree. There's literally nothing going good for the company / service. They haven't even been able to pay their monthly bills, less than $2m. That clearly is not a healthy company with sufficient funding and investment.

I don't know why you're bothering with copying and pasting from a dictionary: we already know that these people were asylum seekers and that they were granted asylum. So therefore whatever narrow definition of an asylum seeker is in your head is very and obviously clearly incorrect.

Just accept reality. I don't understand how conservatives are capable of simply rejecting the reality in front of their eyes. It's so bizarre.

Everyone coming to our borders from the south are seeking asylum in some fashion. How in the world can you ignore this obvious truth - how can you so easily brush away reality? How is it possible anyone, such as yourself, could be so woefully misinformed unless you're a Russian troll purposefully spreading lies?

I think I am done with these forums. I am going to send an email to the admins to see if they care, but this is quite obviously a cultivating ground from disinformation trolls and I won't be a part of it.

Just another failure in Trump's wake of unpaid bills, fraud, and incompetence. Love to see it.

It's frivolous. No one is forcing anyone to eat at McDonald's. No one can tell a company what advertisers it can use, nor how much it should spend with each advertiser.

It just doesn't make sense from any angle and will be thrown out.
