China Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 This was linked in a tweet in another thread, but found it humorous enough to share in more detail: Mike Lindell claims he sent subpoenas to several people like James Clapper and John Brennan Pillow vendor Mike Lindell claimed that he sent a number of subpoenas to people, which includes retired Lt. Gen. James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence under Barack Obama's administration and Former director of the CIA John Brennan. The problem with the claim is that an individual citizen can't randomly send subpoenas without filing lawsuits and having those subpoenas approved by the court. He has claimed that he's launching a lawsuit against the FBI after they seized his cell phone as part of the Justice Department probe around fake electors. Neither Brennan nor James Clapper worked for the FBI, nor do they work for the FBI now. In fact, neither has been in government service for just under six years. The DNI when Lindell's phone was seized was Avril Haines and the CIA chief was Bill Burns. Both are still serving in those roles. Given those facts, the judge in the case isn't likely to approve subpoenas for the men unless Lindell can show proof that they were involved in some way. Thus far the only involvement appears to have been comments the men made that appear to have triggered Lindell. Lindell has faced several lawsuits for his lies about the 2020 election. At least two electronic voting companies have sued him for defamation over his claims. It's not clear what Lindell thinks he could sue Clapper for and he didn't clarify. In the past, Clapper has been critical of former President Donald Trump, particularly when it comes to Trump's cozy relationship with Russia and his refusal to send aid to Ukraine in 2019.

China Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 On 10/3/2022 at 6:54 PM, China said: Trump startup investors: Give us a better deal or we'll walk Big investors are starting to eye the exits on the $1.3 billion bid to take former President Donald Trump’s new social media startup public. The hedge funds, trading firms and other major backers are questioning whether the financial riches that first attracted them to the transaction are still strong enough to hold their interest in a deal fraught with troubles, according to four investors who asked not to be named. Negotiations have been ongoing as some investors seek bigger potential profits in exchange for following through on commitments to put hundreds of millions of dollars into the venture, which planned a public stock exchange listing through a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC. There are no guarantees investors will get what they are pushing for as little headway has been made ahead of a Monday deadline. The group of more than three dozen investors who had planned to put $1 billion into the company have begun to waver as bad news keeps piling up around the deal, including a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation, a lawsuit by a scorned business partner against the company taking Trump’s venture public and reports that the Trump social network at the heart of the planned operation is struggling to pay its bills. Already, investors who had promised $138 million in capital have pulled out, with the SEC yet to OK the public offering nearly a year after its announcement. “This deal has taken more left turns than a doorknob,” said Kristi Marvin, a former investment banker who runs data and research company SPACInsider. “Now, it’s just got so much hair on it.” Click on the link for the full article Trump-tied SPAC delays vote after falling short on shareholder support The blank-check acquisition firm that agreed to merge with former U.S. President Donald Trump's social media company postponed on Monday its shareholder vote to Nov. 3 after failing to garner enough support to win a 12-month extension. At least 65% of the shareholders of Digital World Acquisition Corp needed to agree to the extension. The special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) opted to push back the deadline to try to find more votes. Digital World, which had already pushed back the deadline for its shareholders to vote on the 12-month extension several times over the past month, fell short of that threshold on Monday. At stake is an over $1 billion private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing that Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) stands to receive from Digital World, which inked a go-public deal with the social media company in October 2021. Digital World last month said it had received termination notices from PIPE investors who were pulling out about $139 million of the total financing commitment.

mistertim Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 It's absolutely baffling to me that there are still so many people willing to pour money into anything Trump does. Pretty much every single thing he touches fails at everything other than putting money into his pockets. He's almost completely incompetent at actual business. He's only good at marketing himself, racking of debt, and refusing to pay people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooked Crack Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Quote An A-list group of financial backers including Ken Griffin and Peter Thiel gave Toby Neugebauer tens of millions of dollars to build a new kind of bank—one aimed at people who see Wall Street as too liberal. The potential customer base was huge, Mr. Neugebauer and his business partner, former Mike Pence chief of staff Nick Ayers, told the investors. Plumbers, electricians and police officers, the pitch went, are fed up with big banks that don’t share their values. The startup, called GloriFi, initially aimed to launch with bank accounts, credit cards, mortgages and insurance, while touting what it called pro-America values such as capitalism, family, law enforcement and the freedom to “celebrate your love of God and country.” Within months, the investors’ money was nearly gone, and GloriFi was on the verge of bankruptcy. It missed launch dates, blaming faulty technology and failures by vendors, and laid off dozens of employees. It stumbled with products; for instance, a plan to make a credit card out of the same material used for shell casings failed when the company realized the material could interfere with security chips and potentially be too thick for payment terminals, according to people familiar with the matter. Some employees alleged that Mr. Neugebauer had a volatile temper and drank on the job, and the company’s unusual workspace—Mr. Neugebauer’s home—added distractions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Desr Tulsi, I can no longer listen to politicians who are either so blind to right-wing facism that they have no problem spouting off 4 or 5 talking points from the facist party OR are being funded/backed by Russia (or Peter Thiel) to spout BS. . I am not even sure why your dumbass matters or has a platform and looks like you are grifting anyway. "Join you" in doing what? "Leave the Democratic party" to support what? There's no 3rd independent party and a 3rd independent party should fight the GOP just as much as the Democrats. If she thinks the Democrats are warmongering.... "I am going to blame America when Putin launches nukes." 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan since a Fetus Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 What is Tulsi doing these days besides being a stooge for Russia? I actually forgot about her for a minute. The last I saw her, she was going on Fox News and I am sure she was used as a democratic talking point. Thank you once again for the Bernie Bro knowledge TTB! I didn’t remember that one.

It's interesting when people say something that's correct, but they've interpreted that in a way that's completely and utterly incorrect. For example, he's correct that women face much greater pressures in many situations, especially when it comes to things like instagram, or game streaming, etc. with regards to looking a certain way and trying to "fit in" vs what men face in that regard. But he's completely incorrect about that having anything to do with why women don't like or watch his program. Women aren't watching him because he's a creepy, condescending right wing asshole who supports politicians who actively hate women and want to control their bodies. Funny how that sort of stuff influences people. 1 hour ago, Ball Security said: I really don’t understand what Peter Thiel is trying to do. Nobody does. This reminds me of those texts that came to light in the Musk vs Twitter case, where a ton of "brilliant" billionaires (including Musk) showed themselves to be doofuses with idiotic ideas and who were offering to throw around huge sums of money for said idiotic ideas.
