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


Yeah I think that was the thinking on the Reddit post I saw.

Basically everyone knows these shares and company are grossly overpriced, but that won't stop the MAGA nuts from buying into them to support their leader. I managed to buy cheap before some court Decision was made and it was officially connected to Trump. Once that happened the stocks tripled in price because Trump is gonna Trump.

The belief is that this stock will crash at any moment as the whole thing is built on sand. *fingerscrossed*

At this rate, their number of Speaker's since 2019 might beat our number of PMs.

Man outside courthouse lights himself on fire

Nada Tawfik

Reporting from outside the courthouse

Just moments ago, a young man doused himself in a liquid and lit himself on fire in the park in front of the courthouse, after throwing coloured pamphlets in the air.

Press here covering the trial saw it happening and everyone in the area started screaming.

There’s a massive police presence and officers ran into the park and shouted for a fire extinguisher.

He was carried away on a stretcher, his body very badly burned.

The New York Police Department is still on the scene and his motive is unclear.

Somone else's TLDR -

TL;DR seems to be that, in his view, crypto like Bitcoin is actually the foundation of the biggest Ponzi scheme in history all orchestrated by fascist governments and rich people and the secret elite, and eventually they plan to let this massive Ponzi scheme collapse and that will apparently trigger an apocalyptic level economic crash across the world, and then all the rich and powerful people will somehow still be rich and powerful, but all of us regular poor people will become worth literally nothing, less than dirt, and we'll all be turned into slaves by the elite in order to have any kind of ability to live at all.

The jury & 6 alternatives have been sworn in so should be opening statements on Monday.

A lot of other stuff going on -

The dodgy $175m bond -

AG James has filed her opposition to KSIC's defense of its bond.

Three main grounds of opposition:
1) insufficient evidence of "sufficiently secure and ascertainable collateral backing the bond"
2) insufficient KSIC surplus to justify the bond (because they offload their liabilities to the Cayman Islands to make their US balance sheet look good)
3) KSIC is shady AF "in violation of federal law on multiple occasions within the past several years"

Monday is going to be a busy day. Criminal trial starts at 9:30, this bond hearing starts 10:00. It'll be a battle.

Boris would definitely fart in a courtroom. But we're so corrupt that he'll never end up in one.

Can the judge order that. Hand down a motion he has to have an enema or something.

Good job he wasn't in the courtroom with Trump's guffs, half of Manhattan would've gone up in flames.

The military aid bill to Ukraine has passed. :toot:

And the Tik Tok ban bill is moving through to the Senate, strong bipartisan support seems to only exist when it comes to tackling the Chinese Communist Party & winning Cold War II.
