Can't figure out what if anything in the news cycle is inspiring this.

The Spectator ran an article saying that Biden’s campaign is doomed because more Republicans than Democrats turned out in state primaries.

If you’ve convinced yourself that you only lost last time because the deep state interfered, then your “we’re gonna win this time” narrative necessitates a rationale for why they aren’t stepping in to do the same this time.


Do we have anything other than polling and vibes? Is the pro Palestinian left significant enough in numbers to sit out and cause issues? Seems a bit early to make bold predictions.

I believe he does, pretty sure that’s standard practice with an IPO.

The interwebs suggest that it’s 90-180 days.

i literally don't know!

Me either! I’m not disagreeing with you.

I would say that like most American Christians, he is utilizing Christianity wherever he perceives gain from it and then ditching the parts that are an inconvenience (or that clash with his personal beliefs).

I was thinking about this again this morning, and I will say….describing a specific print of the bible as the only bible endorsed by yourself (as in, my endorsement supersedes god’s) is pretty next level.

Yet folks are more worried about Biden’s state of mind.

Trump Media stock plunges as 2023 Truth Social loss put at $58 million
The new figures highlight the huge gap between Trump Media’s hyped market debut and his social network’s revenue
https://www.washingtonpost.com/technolo ... a-results/

Former president Donald Trump’s social media company said Monday it lost more than $58 million last year, sending its stock plunging more than 21 percent only days after a highflying public debut set the company’s value at more than $8 billion.

[...]

The nosediving share price of the company — which uses the stock ticker DJT, for Trump’s initials — fell to its lowest level since Trump Media went public last week and shaved more than a fifth of its market value in a single day. It also slashed the value of Trump’s 57 percent ownership in the company by roughly $1 billion, to $3.8 billion.
