March 5th is just around the corner and the Democrat "machine" here is hitting me with everything they've got in a last-ditch effort to ensure that two Democrats advance to the November election - thus cementing their grip on this seat and denying Californians the real choice we deserve.

You and I cannot let them get away with this.

Rush a contribution to help beat Katie Porter and Adam Schiff on March 5th today.

Your contribution could be the difference between winning the March primary or the people of California being stuck with Adam Schiff or Katie Porter for another 6 years.
If you agree we cannot afford to find out whether the American Dream is down to its final inning, its final out, or its final strike and are ready to turn back the clock on the decline please rush your end of month gift today.

My gut says that Trump sends those kinds of messages constantly in order to stoke his base's paranoia and fear of other in order for them to constantly be on edge. I have a lot of problems with Jon Stewart, but a line of his that I'll never forget is "When your immune system perceives everything as a threat, it doesn't make you healthier. It makes you sick". The base constantly feeling like God's Favorite Boy Trump is in dire peril at all moments makes them more likely to donate.

Trump Media co-founders sue company, alleging a scheme to dilute shares

The case could complicate a long-delayed bid by the owner of Truth Social to go public — and deliver former president Donald Trump a financial lifeline

The co-founders of former president Donald Trump’s media company filed a lawsuit Wednesday, claiming that Trump and other leaders had schemed to deprive them of a stake in the company that could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

...

Andy Litinsky and Wes Moss, who met Trump as contestants on his reality show “The Apprentice,” pitched Trump on the idea of a Trump-branded tech start-up and social media platform in early 2021 after he lost the White House and was banned from Twitter, now called X.

Trump agreed to the deal and was given 90 percent of the company, according to a motion for expedited proceedings filed Wednesday in the Delaware Court of Chancery by the co-founders’ partnership, United Atlantic Ventures. The partnership took 8.6 percent, while an attorney on the deal, Bradford Cohen, was given the remaining 1.4 percent, the motion states.

UAV launched the Trump Media business, hired employees and raised funding while receiving no “fee or payment for its work,” the motion said. And though Litinsky and Moss left Trump Media that year amid a dispute with its current leadership, UAV retained its shares, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing this month from Digital World.

The filing said that Trump was set to receive 78 million shares in the post-merger company — a stake worth $3.5 billion at today’s share price — and that UAV would receive more than 7 million shares, a stake worth about $339 million. “Throughout TMTG’s corporate history,” the motion states, “UAV’s 8.6 percent ownership interest has been recognized and honored.”

But UAV’s attorneys allege in the motion that Trump has recently attempted to “drastically dilute” the partnership’s stake as part of what they called an “11th hour, pre-merger corporate maneuvering” tactic designed to increase the amount of authorized stock, from 120 million shares to 1 billion shares.

UAV’s attorneys wrote that the “dilution scheme” had “no legitimate business purpose” and suggested that Trump and the Trump Media board planned to issue the new shares to “Trump and/or his associates and children,” watering down UAV’s stake to less than 1 percent.

Literally anything that Trump touches is a den of snakes trying to screw each other, including Trump.

If I’m reading this right, Trump is literally set to make 3.5billion from Truth Social’s IPO. I have no idea how that company would be worth that. Wouldn’t this just be the end to all of Trump’s financial issues? He would be s legit billionaire and then some even after paying all his fines.

Sure, a temporary injunction would throw a spammer into the works for a minute but it won’t last forever and they’ll come to some sort of agreement and then that’s that, no?

wouldn’t he have to have people willing to pay the price of his shares if he wants to turn them from shares into cash?

A reminder that it came out that Trump personally paid more tax in China than he did in the USA.

When custodians at Annapolis City Hall reported to work the morning of Feb. 22, they found Maureen Donovan sleeping near a second-floor conference room. According to charging documents, Donovan told police that after following a staff member through a scan-access door, she had eaten some Hot Pockets from the employee break room and spent the night. When she was discovered the next day, she was found with Mayor Gavin Buckley’s gavel.

Now, Donovan is charged with felony burglary, as well as two misdemeanors, and theft of less than $100 — the latter a reference to the Hot Pockets, which police valued at $4.49.

Imagine how stock value is a public agreement about the value of a company. Whether that is future value, perceived excellence value, or value from goods they make.

Truth social makes no goods, has a smittance of the user base that any other social media company has, it exists completely and solely because trump is on it and he posts like a rabid animal and the type of person that loves that has a truth social account.

If Trump starts to dump stock in truth social to pay off these legal fees the writing will be on the wall instantly, truth social means nothing to him and he intends to shutter it. Its value will instantly plummet and within microseconds be worth garbage. If he sells he will move to X and everyone knows it.

But he would do it, and just lie his way “just post through it” and go back to X. He knows he can’t post on X like he does on truth. His handlers and the people that actually write those loving screeds know it too. Too many people would see the stuff and his popularity would actually take a hit. This is the only thing actually holding him onto truth. I mean, he could have at any time he wanted forced renegotiation out of the clause that says he has to post on truth anything 8 hours before posting it elsewhere. That was years ago. He could have done that at any time. He knows it’s the only place on earth he can get away with spouting the poo poo he spouts.
