I think the Green party will win in the end.

They will win when catastrophic climate change has killed all but one human who, just before dying, thinks "oh gooseberry fool, they were right"

Could still get elected.

If it's Biden then they should keep him going with animatronics until after the election. Unless he's visibly started to rot by then.

I’ve no idea of the history of this, but is it presumed that Harris will be Biden’s running mate?

Burst out laughing at this. Your stealth Partridge references :wub:

I feel like scenario 2 won't happen. They couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. Their storming the capital was so badly done they keep saying it was someone else.

Trump posts $175m bond in New York fraud case

Apparently the appeal will be in Septemberish.

I'm actually surprised I thought all the people buying would be Trump fans so would just stick regardless. Has Trump cashed out yet?

Trump needs board approval to cashout within 6 months and when he does, the price will drop.

I don't think he will though. I think he's going to use it for money laundering and foreign interests will buy shares off for him for influence.

Yuge profit, it was yuge, believe me. People are telling me it's the biggest profit in the history of the world, bigger than Obama they're saying. They know what they're talking about these people. A lot of people who know what's going on. Yuge, just yuge.

Thanks, saw a post on reddit's wallstreetbet sub posted a few weeks back about them and what they were saying made sense so thought worth a gamble.

Tripled my money basically. Genuinely felt horrible owning them and can see them completely crashing soon. Sold at 70$ and can see they are at about 50 currently.

I won't pretend I knew what I was doing and just got lucky this time, could have gone horribly wrong.

Difficult to predict with Trump and the MAGA crowd, but agree could see it being used as a front to get foreign "investment".

We have a show here called 'reeling in the years' which just depicts what happened in a certain year, fascinating to watch as it has footage from the 60's till now.

Yesterday they were dealing with 2019 and It showed a clip of Trump who visited here briefly sitting beside Leo Varadkar saying that we should build a big beautiful wall on the border with Northern Ireland, while Leo looked on with a pained smile. Trump's IQ is so incredibly low it's often forgotten.

I'd say it's well worth a triple shower to strawberry float MAGA over and make a tidy profit along the way – nicely done!

How does buying truth social shares as part of a broader pump and dump count as strawberry floating MAGA over, exactly?

It doesn't really. But the shares dropping rapidly in value before Trump can cash them is certainly going to annoy the gooseberry fool out of him. Especially at the moment when he's desperate for money.

MAGA twats are the most likely to be buying them when they're at the highest value. It will undoubtedly be Trump fans who lose the most money when dealing with these shares.

Edit - I'm speaking from the position of all-but certainty they will crash violently once the meme bubble bursts
