The thing is that didn't happen in 2020 so why do you think they would do that this time?

Which is to say I don't think it will happen but its more likely than the House just making Trump king.

I'm sure Abbot or Shehuks or one of the real shitball governors in the bottom 50 states will make some hay about just giving it to trump if they think there's any kind of cheating going on that isn't for republicans, but I don't think anyone would actually do it.

They believed it, until they didn't-- I suspect

The appeals court, like any appeals court, rarely gives a poo poo about punishing/exonerating anyone for anything related to the matter at hand. Their goal is entirely to review if the court proceedings themselves were lawful and appropriate. If he pays, or if he doesn't, they could give a poo poo but they do want to resolve whether or not the lower court judge did things correctly (nobody but Trump/MAGA could argue otherwise lol)

Something that really gets me about this is that 1) Trump, in the most technical sense, doesn't want that, he just wants his overwhelming narcissism fed, and he doesn't get just what a poison pill the 'fascist dictator' solution to that need would be, because 2) If circumstances somehow lined up so that Trump did more or less officially become a fascist dictator, he'd barely get to do anything before he'd get purged.

Trump has no idea that this timeline is the best one for him, because he's still alive. In any world where he succeeded, Trump would have been dead by June 2021, tops. Someone like Steve Bannon or Casey DeSantis or someone we never heard of but who actually comes off as having something approaching a legit core of stone jet black shark eyes thing would have stepped in and killed him, because Trump is the most paper of tigers and unlike a lot of dictators, doesn't actually have a bunch of brownshirts or secret police around him to protect him.

This is hilarious btw because like an immune system with antibodies to diseases it's already encountered or an army that knows only how to fight armies it's already fought, our system believes it is thoroughly protected against the kind of power-mad ideologue dictators who have haunted our greybeards' heads since Roman times. But we never imagined a TROMP and so we are defenseless :lol:

It really says something that as a country we allow a worthless company to have a multi-billion dollar market cap. Like it's not even like a unicorn tech startup that theoretically has massive value in the future from their innovation, it's just a branded open source Twitter clone that no one uses is and burns massive amounts of cash. This is just cool with us, you can just take your retirement and throw it away on magic beans.

I don't think anyone here understands how stock values work

The market cap of a company is (# of shares) * (the last traded price of a share). Bid/Ask volume is a huge consideration.

Example, say you are a shrewd investor and you own 1,000,000 shares of TRUMP. You decide to start selling shares. You spend all week marketing it, and you finally find someone willing to buy a single TRUMP for $10. Does that mean your pile of TRUMPs is worth $10,000,000? More importantly, could you reasonably tell a bank that you have an asset that is worth $10mm and use that to secure a loan? Its market cap is $10,000,000!!!!!!!

Now let's say you need $1,000,000. You only need to sell 10% of your TRUMPs, right? Easy! And it's worth $10mm! So you try to sell them for $10 each-- the ask price. No buyers. You do have the last sold price though, so the ticker price is at $10 still meaning on paper you own $10,000,000 worth of TRUMPs.

You really need that money though, so you try to sell them $9 each. No buyers.

Seriously you need that money now the sheriff is at your door. So you try to sell them at $5 each. You find one buyer. You now have $15 cash, 999,998 TRUMPs and a pile of shares that dropped in value by 50%-- your pile of shares is now worth $5,000,000.

You still need money so you sell them again, and you find a buyer at $1. You now have $16 cash, 999,997 shares of TRUMP and a pile of shares that dropped in value by 90%-- the entire pile is ostensibly worth only $1,000,000.

You can say they're worth $1,000,000 when you have people who are buying at that price but if nobody is buying at that price, then it's not worth $1,000,000 even if the last price someone bought it at is $1. Trump is not going to get $3bn from truth social. He's probably going to get some amount of money though, but if it's $16 or if it's $3bn depends on a lot of things (namely, which foreign investors wants to buy the republican candidate for president).

SPACs are weird but just treat it as an IPO: they're going to go out with a price, and see if they can get people to buy it for that price. There might be some enthusiasm in the market but the financial status of truth social just doesn't justify investment based on any fundamental understanding of the value of things, so in whatever way the value of a stock is based on its ability to make money it's a total dud. But markets are made up of people -- idiots -- and it's extremely unlikely it'll go anywhere but south just because the reason people buy stocks -- to get money back in some way -- just isn't there. Again, unless you want to buy a republican presidential candidate. However, many people buy and sell stock intending to only find a person dumber than them to buy it and I imagine the republican grift machine is going to be out in full force on this one and holy gently caress republicans are stupid. But they're also generally broke and the US investor market is loving huge, so if they have money they likely won't be buying trump stock lol

it's important to keep in mind that truup doesn't have any beliefs. he's not a fascist not beause he rejects fascism, but because he has no idea what fascism is. he's a collection of broken personality traits that adds up to a fascist.
in practice there is no difference, but it's important to keep in mind regardless because trump is WORSE than a real fascist, WORSE than a real racist, WORSE than all of that because he has no beliefs but himself.
