I've been embarrassed by what other presidents have said or done while in office but suggested a 'hit' on a person who'd been loyal to him, was mobbed-up in the WH, disgraced the nation by stealing nat. secret docs & shared them... aren't just disqualifying, they're criminal & shockingly abhorrent:

"In her book Strongmen, R Ben-Ghiat reported that speaking about Pecker, Trump once said suggestively to his then attorney Michael Cohen: “Maybe he gets hit by a truck.”

The Biden admin needs better PR, ASAP:

"Majorities know little or nothing about the Biden admin's INFRA bill, CHIPS act, ARP & IRA. While 40% of respondents said Biden has done more than Trump on INFRA, 37% said Trump had done more.

It's largely a media problem, large chunk is Fox News & Sinclair, their local affiliate, RW radio... If Biden did anything good, they won't hear it, but they'll hear lies, or gross distortions of the truth-."

    Trump: awarded 36M shares of $DJT stock worth $1.8B as an "earnout bonus."

    His newly awarded shares, worth ~$1.8B, were valuated at Tues closing price of $49.93 *prohibited from selling the shares until a 6-mon lockup period expires.

    He was rewarded with the shares for keeping the stock price above $17.50 for 20 straight trading days.

    He now owns about 65% of $DJT *in the red -booked just $4.1M in rev. last yr.

    hmmm. Looks kinda like tfg’s lawyers lied when they claimed to the court that raising the full amount of the $464 million judgment for falsifying financial statements was “an impossible bond requirement.”

    Prior to the court lowering the amount, Trump’s lawyers were already in serious negotiations with Hankey to cover the full bond, but didn’t disclose this to the courts — a clear ethics violation.

    It's because they have no real organization or political power. It is actually essential to the Democrats that they have no organization because if they did, they might start demanding things. Of course, this also means that they have no real political power to achieve/defeat (Im not going to learn their cult language) or whatever, so they're destined to lose.
