I wonder whatever happened to that 50,000 strong army that answered to only to him?

CURSES! ~ DeSantis plans for a retirement income foiled again.

This guy can't do anything right.

I can't find any other source either. The Arizona Republic news story hinted that Joe and the execs at NBC have been exchanging some heated words after the rolling news decision but nobody is drawing any conclusions. Maybe they'll be back on Monday. We'll now then.

Sorry, TONY

But they haven't been on my MSNBC all this week, including today. Willie has been hosting alone.

I know there was one occasion when they missed one Monday and were back on Tuesday. This MIA is more recent than the one to which you're referring.

I don't know why AZ Central is blocked but I just read their report about why Joe and Mika haven't been on the air recently.

I like that show even if Joe is a pain in the ass sometimes. I hope Tony is right. I'd miss Mika.

"Um, he could be right, his own insanity may push everything else off the headlines."

That would make for a full two weeks of rolling news feed on MSNBC.

Which reminds me ~ the reason Joe Scarborough has been off his morning show is because of what happened after the attempted assassination of Trump. NBC decided to switch to a rolling news feed withing telling Joe. When Joe and Mika finally came back on the air, Joe was furious. He made an on-air comment that the next time NBC decided to switch to a rolling news feed, they could find another host.

He and Mia are still missing. There's no word yet if NBC took him up on his offer.

Trump traded the probability of death of women for the ultra-right religious vote.

And proud of himself for doing so. The man was born without a conscience.

Very uncharacteristic of him, too. Usually he demands money.

Eventually, when all the truth spills out during Trump's trials, it's going to be called MAGAGATE.

In order to change the subject in a quickie walk-by question the other day, Trump said that abortion wasn't going to be an issue in this election.

He can't possibly believe that, but just by saying that he wants us to.

DANFORTH

I agree with everything you said. But Trump doesn't play by the rules and warning don't even slow him down. I am concerned that without the mute button Trump will immediately jump to the defensive and create enough chaos to interrupt her opening statement. Plus, anything else she retorts that makes him look bad.

This is supposed to be a policy debate. Since Project 2025 is the only policy the Republican have, I expect Trump to go into full denial with his "witch hunt" routine.

Doesn't it always come down to Philadelphia?

It's not just "this" movement or "that" movement we'll be voting for or against this November.

We'll be voting for the most powerful person in the world.

Can you imagine what a insecure, sociopathic, narcissistic, person without an ounce of integrity and consumed with anger and greed would do with that kind of power?

And don't we all have the advantage of hindsight to remind us of the devastating consequences for the future?

Oxygen isn't the only thing Harris is taking out of Trump's campaign. She's out-fundraising him by X 2; union support 10 to 1; women 99 out of 100; and, steadily lapping him in the swing state polls.

Trump is so busy cheating that he can't see why he's losing.

LAMP

If they don't know by now, they never will. At least, some of them.

But that's not the money Trump needs to keep afloat. It's the donors that contribute $millions$ who have fallen off. The way things are going, it appears to them that he won't be around to give them the bang they expect for their bucks.

EARTHMUSE

Agreed!

The problem with that is Harris will need a big majority in both houses to get through an impeachment process.

Even at that, Trump is such a delusional sore loser he'll no doubt continue his "shadow" President games like he's been doing with House Speaker Johnson.

The one hope is that Special Counsel Jack Smith will put Trump away long enough to render him a toothless tiger.

SYCOPHANT

Suppose he dumps the whole load on September 20 and doesn't care if the stock drops down to penny stock. Or even if it ends up with no value at all.

According to the SEC, that's what the other executives are doing.

According to a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) CFO and treasurer Juhan Phillip has already sold a whopping $1.9 million worth of company shares. CEO Devin Nunes and COO Andrew Northwall joined in as well, selling chunks of their holdings.

I mean, wasn't that the plan from the beginning? With the exception that the stock didn't top out as high as they expected. And the company actually ended up under water from a business standpoint.

DANFRORTH

"Sounds like a whore to me."

Well, yes. In another sense of the word, I guess he is. He just wanted a cabinet level position. He didn't care who gave it to him.

However, no guarantees. It would be just like Trump to kick RFK, Jr. to the curb after using him.

No mention of certificates of authenticity either.

Just gimmie, gimmie, gimmie you credit card number.

Sometimes I think Donald does this stuff just to test how stupid people really are.

You're missing the point, BELLRINGER.

It isn't unconstitutional. The appointment of a Special Counsel is well within the Attorney General's prerogative.

You and Trump are both shooting blanks.

I've seen that ad.

Trump wants your credit card number. Oh Boy, does he want your credit card number.

Fools and their money are soon parted.

DANNI

"Didn't this clown try to get a Cabinet position in exchange for his flock of sheep?"

You remember right. He made the same offer to both Harris (first) and then to Trump.

Harris turned him down.

Danforth @ #5

"Trump has to find buyers to sell."

If Trump sells after his lockup is over on September 20, the stock will crash like a lead balloon and the company will be defunct. Which was probably the plan anyway and why the company executives are bailing out now.

It was a fools game to begin with. Trump isn't going to reap the hundred billion he hoped for but still, $2 Billion ain't chump change for so little work, with the caveat that Lititia James doesn't already have her eye on at least a half billion and he isn't sued up the ying-yang by the investors he stiffed.
