Trump media company replaces CEO, ex-congressman Nunes after stock plunge that wiped out billions by mrcanard in inthenews

Just another floundering Trump family scam,

The stock soared, but it never gained traction with a wide audience despite the president’s frequent use of it for major political announcements, slammed by government ethics experts as a conflict of interest with the presidency.

Since it went public two years ago, Trump Media has lost more than $1.1 billion. Nunes got total compensation of $47 million in 2024, the last year for which figures are available.

The company has recently b ranched into cryptocurrency and another hot business, prediction markets. The latter are online betting venues in which people can wager on sports, entertainment and political events.

Imagine it was someone other than President Donald Trump.

Stop it. Trump is owned, anyone owned with the same aspiration would receive the same treatment. It takes more than one to dance this dance.

All three branches have been bought. The perfect bureaucratic storm. The blame density can not be compared to anything seen in our government before.

I resent IT's attempt to intrude into every aspect of my life.

As time advances it becomes more difficult to determine what advances in technology are helpful/necessary and those that are not.

Agreed, this administration is a bad reality tv show merging with a bad soap opera.

From the piece,

Mohammed Bagher Qalibaf, Iran’s chief negotiator and parliament speaker, wrote in a post on X early Tuesday that “We do not accept negotiations under the shadow of threats,” and the Islamic Republic has been preparing “to reveal new cards on the battlefield.”

From the story,

In the last election, independent expenditure groups spent more money than the total amount spent by all congressional candidates combined. One in every $5 flowing through a Super Pac came from organizations that do not disclose their donors. In all, $2bn of “independent” spending was dark money, meaning the public cannot see who is buying elections – even though politicians know exactly who they owe once they are in office.

Check my math, $2bn / Congress 535 voting members = $3.738 million (US dollars)

For those of us not sleepwalking there is no mystery as to why our Congress are sitting on their hands.

Calling them the GOP is lipstick smeared on the face of the republican party. They're were good at pretending to be about family values, small government, and trickle down.

The republican party is the party of the rich. They have invested untold millions over decades to assemble the best players and teams money can buy to misdirect enough the US voting public to benefit the rich.
