the insulin comments weren't very enlightened...some of his demeanor was him, but i'm pretty sure at least half of it was extensive coaching about making certain replies to certain statements...you could almost see him perk up when Warnock mentioned certain subjects, and on other subjects, he kind of mumbled his way through.
he isn't the idiot people paint him as, but he isn't very intelligent. he's trainable. he could learn football plays, he can learn canned responses to key words and phrases...but i don't think there are any ideas of his own to attach to those canned responses
Sounds like he’d be an amazing member of Congress.

i realize people should have a choice of who they vote but I don’t support we allow a party that is openly derailing and even against what democracy is. if they want that than get yeh fuck out of USA cause that’s not what America is and should never be endorsed as. This core argument of narco /self centered my way or the highway view sayings they deserve to be able to against anything that’s not that and anti democracy and thinking American can and should be superiortism driven, if anything all positions exp in high power shouldn’t be cemented it should be a honor poison and be heavily judged on vs using it as a king or dictatorship poison . Trump wanted that

fuck them and we need to ethier say to gop, follow the rules of pro American and not pro superiortism anti American bs or your credited as all what trump is and are terrorist in my view

I think he did not come across as an imbecile. I think he came across as what he is. A hard right fake Christian who would decide for others how they should live their lives based upon his beliefs and not what the majority in this nation or in his state want. He used the old tactic of trying to paint Warnock as a Washington insider who doesn't represent the people of Georgia. But he would, at least, that's what he said. But he did not come across as an imbecile. He knew very well what he meant when he spoke.
The portion that I watched, I concur. I don’t think Walker said or did anything to repel Republican voters, and he displayed sufficient comprehension of what was being asked. Warnock carried himself with dignity, but I don’t see the debate making a big difference in either direction.

it might influence some centrists...but probably an equal number in either direction :(

He's still calling him President Trump. What a tool.

Just so that it's clear:
Formally Addressing the Former President
When addressing a former President of the United States in a formal setting, the correct form is “Mr. LastName.” (“President LastName” or “Mr. President” are terms reserved for the current head of state.) This is true for other ex-officials, as well. When talking about the person to a third party, on the other hand, it’s appropriate to say, “former President LastName.” This holds for introductions, as well: A current state governor is introduced as “Governor Tom Smith,” while you’d introduce an ex-governor as “former Governor Jim Bell.”

TMTG is the company that implemented Truth Social but not just Truth Social they are trying to be a $100 B media company. Several issues are rearing up.

But first, the predatory demands from Trump on Melania's behalf:

In calls from Trump to Litinsky, then a co founder and board member of Trump Media& Technology Group (TMTG), Trump asked/told Litinsky to give Melania a small fortune she didn't earn. Five months later he was removed from the board. That's what triggered the e-mail shown in your post. Because for Trump 90% isn't enough.

The story is worse than just that.

In addition to Trump's demand that Litinsky gift Melania his equity in TMTG, Don Jr and Eric demanded equity from TMTG, even though they had nothing to do with the company. They made no investments, they did no work, just, out of the blue, Don and Eric just wanted equity in the company and felt entitled to it. Donald called board members angrily telling them that Don Jr was angry. Trump already owned 90% of the company. Why they didn't ask Donald for some of his pile isn't discussed anywhere.

Because they were his sons. That's why workers had to give their shares to them. Because for Trump 90% isn't enough.

Huffpo cites the story told in WaPo, no paywall

The story is worse than that.

The SEC is investigating violations of rules to prevent insider trading and back room deals when mergers are done by publicly held companies. Meetings discussing the merger between Digital World Aquisition (DWA) and DMTG were held months before DWA went public with the announcement. DWA gained many millions of dollars in value after the merger was announced. Because for Trump, 90% wasn't enough.

The story is worse than that.

The guy that started DWA is a Michael Shvartsman , a Ukrainian, who first shows up in the Americas as a Canadian bar owner and gained notice of Canadian police. He shut down that business and started up what would become Rocket World Capitol in Florida. Rocket World or some earlier version of the company has been sued multiple times for failure to pay debts and failure to deliver product that had been paid for. Can we say this company seems shady?

Then suddenly he becomes involved in a deal that would funnel more than a billion dollars to TMTG if the merger goes through. It was Rocket World that formed the DWA, a publicly held shell company with no assets other than a promise to make shareholder big bucks when they bring start up companies public. It's all mumbo jumbo to me. Millions of dollars have been tossed about, at least 8 million of which went to TMTG. Suffice it to say, if/when TMTG merges with DWA, banks and investors promised to funnel a billion or so dollars into the promised merger that was set to happen in mid Sept. The SEC investigation is holding the merger up and at this time, it all looks to unravel.

To top it off, DWA is behaving like its parent company and failing to pay for services to the tune of several million dollars.

How did a Ukrainian bar owner in Canada get access to this much money? Can we say dirty money? That bar he owned that attracted Canadian Police attention. Edmonton Police Service claimed Kaos was financed by the Russian mafia. There is always the whiff of Russian oligarch money and influence with everything Trump does.

Let's not forget that Trump was Putin's money launderer. Something dirty is lurking under the sheets. Because for Trump, 90% is not enough.
