Owning a piece of Trump... stock
Business Insider did a story claiming Trump got a $4 billion windfall after his merger..."...now trading under the "DJT" ticker symbol, but experts doubt its longevity."
I always enjoy the reader comments:
"So are you telling me that someone who can bankrupt casinos where the house has a big edge is going to make a social network that no one reads than Trump people, make money for investors?"
"How does Truth Media with a financial record of losing $49 million so far merge with a company that has a financial record of consistent years of severe loses and presently has $1.5 million in assets and $25.5 million in debts manage to become a entity valued at $6+ billion ? The only thing I see coming from this merger is another Dumpster grift that ends in catastrophic bankruptcy for its investors."
"It’s all a fraud just like everything he’s ever been involved in. Boosting that stock now and will dump all his shares the minute he sees an out. Investors will lose their money and he walks away laughing at all the gullible masses."
"The guy was just found liable for "massive" and sustained fraud in New York. I don't think I would invest in any company of his. The only person going to make off of this is Trump. The investors will lose money."

RE: God Bless the USA! Court Lowers Trump Bond From $464 Million to $175 Million. Due in 10 days.
@germanspitzThey been on him for reason unclear to you since at least jaunary 2017.
Problem is you don't understand what players are involved behind the scenes here.
U don't get it, but rest assured you're not alone on thet here at cs blogs.
Here is what you can do if you want to get up to speed on the corrupt crazy unlawful everyday business routine over there: you go to something called " youtube.com "
and then you look up " Tulsi Gabbard " (she ran as a presidential candidate for the Dems in 2020)
and the you can hear from her directly, who is very experienced in the field, what is actually the state of affars when it comes to american politics as of right now.
Then come here and tell me how DT (their prime suspect) is any worse,
and that is what o.p tried to show you in his long post above yours.
You could consider broaden your horizon some you know.
RE: God Bless the USA! Court Lowers Trump Bond From $464 Million to $175 Million. Due in 10 days.
Not long ago, the idea that a former president—or a major-party presidential nominee—would face serious legal jeopardy was nearly unthinkable. Today, merely keeping track of the many cases against Donald Trump requires a law degree, a great deal of attention, or both.Fraud. Hush money. Election subversion. Mar-a-Lago documents.
Seriously there is no smoke without fire as we all know.
God Bless the USA! Court Lowers Trump Bond From $464 Million to $175 Million. Due in 10 days.
Monday’s dramatic bond reduction for former President Donald Trump did nothing to dissipate the dark cloud that his civil-fraud case has cast over New York business deals.Although investors won’t publicly admit it, the case is having a chilling effect, said Charles Trzcinka, professor of finance at Indiana University-Bloomington.
“If you talk to people in this market, they are very, very upset … and these are people who are neutral or even opposed to Trump,” Mr. Trzcinka told The Epoch Times. “They’re just angry about it.”
In his role at the university, Mr. Trzcinka said he places students in the corporate lending market in New York, making him aware of trends in that sphere.
An appeals court’s decision to slash the bond by about 60 percent, reducing it to $175 million, still left a massive penalty intact while President Trump continues a legal challenge of Justice Arthur Engoron’s ruling.
Judge Engoron ruled that President Trump and his associates fraudulently overvalued their assets. But Mr. Trzcinka said anyone who thinks President Trump’s activities in that case were irregular or fraudulent may lack an understanding of typical New York business transactions.
A source familiar with the case explained to The Epoch Times that, normally, business-related cases are handled in the New York courts’ commercial division.
There, cases are decided by judges who have specific, “sophisticated” knowledge of commercial law and business practices.
But the case didn’t go that route because New York Attorney General Letitia James found a novel way to use New York’s anti-fraud law.
Researchers examined other alleged fraud cases in New York over a 70-year period and found the Trump case stands alone. The Trump Organization was the only company that confronted the possibility of being forced out of business despite no victim suffering major financial harm.
Because of Ms. James’ unusual application of the law, the case was channeled to a court that would rarely, if ever, handle business-related matters.
Thus, the source said, “This case proceeded in just a highly irregular fashion from the start.”
A Degree of Horror’
Legal scholar Jonathan Turley agreed the case is atypical and its repercussions far-reaching.
“This has really done great damage to the New York legal system … Businesses are looking at this with a degree of horror—that a judge could come up with a figure so large you have to sell parts of your business just to get an appeal,” Mr. Turley told Fox News.
However, people who dislike President Trump are cheering on Ms. James. She ran for election on a promise to prosecute the former president if she won the post of attorney general.
Before the court-ordered bond reduction, the original $464 million bond amount included a $363 million judgment that Judge Engoron levied against President Trump and his associates, plus 9 percent interest.
Speaking to reporters after the March 25 appellate court’s decision, President Trump called Judge Engoron’s original decision a “disservice” to New York.
“Businesses are fleeing,” he said.
The case promises to continue discouraging investors from doing business in the Empire State, Mr. Trzcinka and two other knowledgeable sources told The Epoch Times.
That’s not only because of the crippling dollar amounts involved, the sources said, but also because President Trump and his associates were behaving within the bounds of normal business practice and victimized no one.
“All the parties under this civil case were satisfied,” Mr. Trzcinka said. Yet Ms. James “brought a case without a victim” and secured a judgment approaching $500 million.
“I have never heard of a victimless civil case that even won $500,” he said.

I'm surprised* no-one has yet mentioned Saint Anthony although must be said he's not yet managed to find my missing passport but that's one of the most reliable superstitions - incredibly high success rate.*well, not surprised. Not many cheerfully chatty bloggers around these days.
RE: Old Time Superstitions & Charms
Paranormal is always impossible until you see it and superstitions and charms are scoffed until someone gets a hit.If you never had a cat it would seem impossible a fat cat could jump from a sitting start onto a kitchen counter. Not paranormal, obviously, just an observation.
I had a recurring ant problem in Scotland, traps everywhere, the air often filled with the chemical stink of spray. A colleague said to me 'ask them to leave'. Feeling something of a tit, I did. They left.
Tried it in Spain, explaining in both English and halting Spanish that I couldn't have them around and would have to try to kill them if they didn't go. They left.
Pure coincidence, of course. But coincidentally it has worked 4 times for me in the last, hmm, 8 years. Lucky that.
RE: Speed dating
If the organiser does get back to you, perhaps they could put women who have expressed an interest in touch with each other.That way you could meet up first, park next to each other and have someone to debrief with afterwards.
Talking about the experience surely has to be half the fun of it.
Speed dating
Haha I've met over a dozen people from CS, male and female, with both friendly or romantic intentions, but that was pre-Trump, happier times when there were lots of single people who wanted to connect other single people. Some are now in good relationships (one couple even via CS!) and some have given up trying to blog or even log in because what's the point and of course some were simply weird.Bit like my premium bonds - never got a life-changing win, but occasionally a pay-out
Almost scary to think of meeting people in real life without any idea whether they can even, you know, spell?
Speed dating
Too far for me to consider going regularly and I think it's monthly anyway but yes good point well made.
Speed dating
Oh I think curious is usually the motivation - I will have to go on my own, the only other single woman I know here is decidedly anti men and I suspect husbands would frown on their wives coming along for a giggle / support
At this point all moot as the organizer hasn't replied to my email ...
RE: Not a terrorist act
Per The Washington Post:
The alarms first sounded on the Dali around 1:24 a.m. Tuesday, an NTSB official said in a Wednesday evening news conference, citing preliminary information from the container ship’s voice data recorder.
About a minute and a half later, the ship’s pilot used a high-frequency radio to request assistance, helping to alert the on-duty Maryland Transportation Authority officer. The pilot called for “tugs in the vicinity,” which help vessels leave the port and get into its main channel. Before the Dali hit the bridge, it had no tugs. Thirty seconds later, the pilot ordered the ship’s anchor to be dropped and gave “additional steering commands,” said Marcel Muise, the lead investigator.
At 1:27 a.m., the pilot reported that the Dali had lost all power and was approaching the bridge, Muise said. At the time, there were two Maryland Transportation Authority units at the scene because of the ongoing construction, and those units shut down all lanes of traffic on the bridge, according to Muise.
He said the voice data recorder captured “sounds consistent with the collision” at 1:29 a.m. Around this time, the lights on the Key Bridge also went out.

What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............
This is shocking and this is awesome, Jesus tells them that when they eat the unleavened bread and drink the wine, they are to now focus their attention and their remembrance upon him and not on the exodus of the past.Let's read our text the first several verses in Matthew Chapter twenty six, starting in verse twenty six. Now, as they were eating, Jesus took bread and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples and said Take, eat, this is my body. And he took a cup and when he had given thanks he gave it to them. Same drink of it all of you, for this is my blood of the Covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
So we really need to grasp the shock value of what Jesus is saying and doing here. So let me try to help us grasp the shock and awe of it by sharing the modern day equivalent with you.
Here's a scene that I made up taking place around a family's table for Christmas dinner.
Totally made up scene. OK, so imagine this. Everyone sitting around a big table, a big spread for Christmas dinner.
Grandpa has already prayed and the meal has begun when halfway through dinner, Uncle Bob stands up at his seat and rings his glass with his fork ting ting ting to get everybody's attention.
Can I please have everybody's attention, Uncle Bob begins. I have a really important message that I want to share with you. It's about Christmas. At Christmas, we always remember and celebrate when Christ was born and people have done that for the past two thousand years. Uncle Bob continues.
But starting tonight, things are going to change from here on out. Christmas is not about Jesus anymore. From now on, when we celebrate Christmas, everybody is to remember me, Uncle Bob.
My favorite color is green, and so when you put up your Christmas tree every year, I want you to remember me. You know, you all know I have a pretty good sense of humor, so when you're eating your turkey at Christmas dinner, I want you to remember your Uncle Bob, who's a big turkey himself.
And since I'm the point of Christmas now, Uncle Bob continues, when you set up your nativity scene each Christmas season, I want you to place Baby Jesus face down on the ground. And I want you to put a picture of me there in his place instead.
Grandpa finally chimes in, OK, that's enough, sit down, Bob and everyone, Uncle Bob is now cut off officially from the wine for the rest of the night. It would be shocking if someone did what Uncle Bob did in this fictitious example, wouldn't wouldn't it be shocking? But that's what Jesus is actually doing during the Last Supper with his disciples, Jesus words are shocking and they're awesome. Take a look again at verse twenty six says Jesus took bread and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples and said, Take, eat, this is my body.
Jesus is saying this bread is about me now.
Remember me when you eat this bread, Jesus says, shocking, the full weight of these shocking words will become clearer to the disciples when on the very next day, Jesus body was brutally tortured and hung on the cross.
But Jesus is saying, when you eat this bread from now on, I don't want you to focus on the Passover in Egypt anymore. I want you to focus on me and my body hanging on the cross, my body that was buried, my body that was physically raised from the dead.
This is about me. Now, the scene with Jesus and his disciples reminds me of a well-known meme. The meme comes from a movie called Captain Phillips starring Tom Hanks. Now, in this particular scene that this meme comes from, the pirates get on board the Tom Hanks ship and one of the pirates comes up directly to Tom Hanks character, and he does one of these with his eyes. The pirate looks directly at the captain, Tom Hanks, and he goes like this and he says, look at me, I'm the captain now.
What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............
So the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading balls being bound up in their cloaks on their shoulders and then down to Two verse, 37, and the people of Israel journeyed from Ramses the six hundred thousand men on foot. Besides women and children, a mixed multitude also went up with them and very much livestock, both flocks and herds. And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough that they had brought out of Egypt, for it was not leavened because they were thrust out of Egypt and could not wait, nor had they prepared any provisions for themselves.So when the Jews ate the unleavened bread, they remembered that their people had to flee Egypt in haste. In haste. That's the unleavened bread. Now, not another part of the Passover meal was the four cups of wine that were staggered throughout the dinner.
If you go back and read the Exodus account, you won't find wine as part of the prescribed meal that God gave to Moses. The wine was in addition to the Passover meal that was added over the years since the exodus. I don't know when it was added, but I do know why the wine was added. The four cups of Passover wine were an integral part of the Passover celebration because this is what they did.
They represented each of the four promises that God made to his people in Exodus Chapter six, verses six to seven when I read those two verses for us right now. Exodus six verse is six to seven says this say, therefore, to the people of Israel, I am the Lord and I will bring you out from under the burden of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from slavery to them. And I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great acts of judgment.
I will take you to be my people and I will be your God. And you shall know that I am the Lord, your God, who has brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptian. During the Passover meal, each of the four cups of wine commemorated one of these four promises that God made to his people.
Number one called the cup of sanctification. And this was connected to the first promise that God made an the one where he said, I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. And so when the people in Passover had that cup, they remembered that promise. Then cup number two was known as the Cup of Deliverance, and that was connected to the second promise God made, which was I will rescue you from their bondage.
Later in the meal, they'd get to number three. This would be called the cup of redemption connected to the third promise, which God said, I will redeem you with an outstretched arm.
And then finally, the cup for was known as the cup of praise connected to the fourth promise God made, which was I will take you as my people. So every year during the Passover meal, God's people remembered God's promises when they participated in the four cups.
As I said earlier, there are other parts of the Jewish Passover, but I highlight just the aspects of the bread and the wine for the purpose of examining our text here tonight.
And now we're ready, we're ready for Jesus verbal shock and awe campaign.
Are you ready for it? All right, Jews celebrated the Passover every year to remember the historical event of their exodus out of Egypt every year, they had celebrated Passover every year for centuries, for centuries, up until this time that Jesus is celebrating it with his disciples.
And so in our seeing, Jesus is reclining around the table with his disciples and he says to them, in what I would imagine, is a nonchalant kind of manner.
He mentions to them that the centuries old tradition of Passover. It's not about the exodus anymore now, according to the words that came out of Jesus mouth, the Passover celebration is now. All about him. It's all about Jesus.
RE: Speed dating
Can't be any worse than this zoo. You can always make comparison notes between meeting people in person vs meeting them here or elsewhere. One can only imagine if the usual CS crowd were in the same room attempting to speed date one another, nobody would have anything to discuss because they either said it all here in a blog or would be tip tapping away writing blogs about one another of how much of jerk or b*tch everyone really is.
What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............
So at the end of Genesis, we see the people of God go into Egypt on good terms, then in the beginning of the Book of Exodus, we learn that over the course of 400 years, the people of God end up becoming slaves in Egypt, which in turn leads them to cry out to God to save them. And he does big time God hears the cries of his people and he acts to save them. So God calls a man named Moses and sends him to Pharaoh to get his people released.A pharaoh rejects God's word to him, which tells Pharaoh to set God's people free.
God then performs a series of ten devastating plagues that bring all of Egypt to its knees in submission. These 10 plagues demonstrated God's power towards those he was saving.
But they also displayed to the entire world that there is only one true God and all of the gods of Egypt could never hold a candle to God's glory. Is plague number 10, where our understanding of the Passover comes from, all the plagues were harsh, but number 10 was the harshest.
To understand that this is the tenth plague, Pharaoh has had more than enough time and opportunity to heed God's warning up until this point, plague number 10 was this God was going to kill the first born son of every family in Egypt, both of Egyptians and the Hebrews alike, unless each family took the blood of a lamb and painted their doorpost with it. Then, when the angel of death came to that house and saw the blood, he would pass over that house and not kill the firstborn son.
But if the blood wasn't placed on the door post when the angel came, the firstborn son would be killed. Now all of God's people killed the lamb and painted their doorpost with the blood, just like God told them to do.
And all their firstborn sons were spared. The Egyptians, they, didn't heed God's warning, and that night all the firstborn sons in Egypt were killed.
That was the final straw for Pharaoh. The next morning, God's people were finally kicked out of Egypt and then God led them through the Red Sea and into the wilderness and eventually into the promised land is during the exodus out of Egypt that God instituted that this event in his people's history should be commemorated every year with a special meal. We can read about this specifically in Exodus Chapter 12 or 14, where it reads God saying this day shall be for you, a Memorial Day and you shall keep it as a feast.
The Lord, throughout your generations as a statue forever. You shall keep it as a feast.
So every year forward from this point, from the day that God passed over his people and delivered them from out of their bondage in Egypt, God's people remembered what God had done by celebrating the Passover meal on the anniversary that their freedom was given to them.
That was what Jesus was doing with his disciples in our text. This is what they were celebrating. Now, there are many parts to this Passover meal, and for the sake of time, we're not going to break down every part of the Passover meal in this message. But we're going to look at two of the parts of the meal, the unleavened bread and the cups of wine. The unleavened bread was eaten at every single Passover meal throughout the Bible.
Unleavened bread is a picture of senselessness, and Silvan is symbolic for sin. And so unleavened bread is symbolic for now then. But there's an added layer of meaning to the unleavened bread when we consider the very first Passover event, see when the Israelites ate the unleavened bread of Passover, the very first time, it reminded them that they had to leave Egypt very quickly when the opportunity came for them to go. Listen to this in Exodus, Chapter 12, starting in verse three, it's going to be on an outline as well, if you have it says the Egyptians were urgent with the people to send them out of the land in haste, for they said we shall all be dead.

Jesus Said What?Date:1/3/21
Series: Matthew
Passage: Matthew 26:26-29......Speaker: BJ Chursinoff
Throughout the 4 Gospels, Jesus constantly makes shocking and awesome statements. When we hear Jesus’ words repeatedly, we can easily grow numb to just how scandalous some of His statements are. His words can begin to sound almost normal to us. But His Words are anything but normal, and we'll look at an example in this message that takes place during the Last Supper, the night before Jesus is crucified.
It happened almost 20 years ago, but I can still remember seeing the footage of it on CNN. Giant explosions everywhere and a lot of them all at once. It was it was surreal.
It was back in 2003 when the United States led a coalition that invaded Iraq and overthrew the government of Saddam Hussein.
The Iraq war began with what is known as the shock and awe campaign. It was called the shock and awe campaign.
Because of the force that was used, the military force was shocking and it left you in awe if you saw it.
It was extraordinary, it was abnormal, it was not something that you saw every day, it took your breath away if you saw it, it took mine away, to be sure. Part of the reason it was so shocking to me personally was the fact that war has never been a part of my life as a Canadian citizen. I haven't seen or heard gunshot fire first hand. I haven't been present when a bomb has gone off anywhere. I wasn't used to what I saw happen in Iraq.
So when I saw it, it really left an imprint on my mind. But there are so many people in our world today who have had upbringings that are totally different from what mine was like.
There are people who have grown up in war torn countries and all they've ever known is gunfire, explosions and war on a daily basis. Some people have experienced war so much that it's not even shocking or awesome to them anymore. It's become almost normal to them.
They've become numb to it all because they've seen the sights too many times and they've heard the sounds one too many times.
They've become numb to the shock and awe of war. Now, I think the same thing can happen to us on a spiritual level when it comes to Jesus. See, almost every time Jesus opens his mouth and speaks, it's like a verbal shock and awe campaign. Powerful words, explosive words, words that change everything Jesus says, shocking and awesome statements constantly throughout the gospels.
And I think that when we hear Jesus words repeatedly every day for years on end, I think that we, too, can grow numb to the shocking and awesome things that he has to say.
His words can become almost normal sounding. But his words are almost anything but normal. I want to show you an example of this in our text tonight, some shocking and awesome words from the Lord Jesus. So if you have your Bible with you, I want to get you to turn to our text, which is Matthew, Chapter 26, Verse is. Twenty six to twenty nine as we pick up our study through the book of Matthew together. As you find your place, I'll start in the very beginning of verse twenty six and it goes like this.
Says now as they were eating, so there's a stop there for now in this scene, Jesus and his disciples are enjoying what's what is known as the Passover meal.
They're eating this dinner together on the eve of Jesus crucifixion. Now, if we're going to comprehend the shocking and awesome words that come out of Jesus mouth in this scene, we're going to have to grasp the significance of the Passover meal.
You can read about the institution of the Passover more fully if you go back and start near the end of the Book of Genesis and read through about the first third of the Book of Exodus, all that I'm about to reference about the Passover here can be found in more detail there.
