TRUMP CHANGE/18

Even if Trump was worth JUST HALF of what NY AG calculated, of that $1.9 Billion, if Trump was worth 'only' $950 million - he COULD 'easily' pay that $540 million and have $410 MILLION DOLLARS left

What if Trump CANNOT AFFORD to pay AT ALL. What if he is worth LESS than $540 mil?

@petergleick Instead we have 140 million poor and low-wealth people in America and poverty is the 4th leading cause of death. 140 million people are being subjected to #policymurder

How's your day?

We've passed 400,000 dead soldiers

Oh shit. That's more than we lost in Vietnam. Can you still win it?

No fucking way. Ukrainians are too strong. How's your day?

I got hit by $453 million by Engoron

Oh shit. Can you pay it?

No fucking way. I think I'm gonna start to sell shoes

Liz Cheney Warns About 'Putin Wing Of The Republican Party'

It finally works! 🤞🏼

Here is a table of more than 1000 journalists on #Mastodon, that updates itself – showing the ones most active, most followed etc. I took the wonderful table by @tchambers as foundation, but deleted some media organizations, so that it only contains accounts from people.
I want to make another for media accounts (and maybe even more 🤔).

Have a look!

@TonyStark Watched 20 Days in Mariupol last night. The entire GOP house and most of the GOP Senate should be forced to watch it. Putin is a murderous thug and needs to be stopped. I’m ashamed of our inaction.

"And even if there is no direct assistance from foreign governments to help him make good on these judgments, Trump will spend the next few years trying to dig out from the financial hole they left. And that means foreign bad actors will come circling.

This can and should become a serious campaign issue, especially given how both the Saudis and Putin are confirmed murderous authoritarians that throw their petrol dollars around to buy influence."

Europe’s #security elite braces for #Trump, searches for back-up plans

For months now, much of #Europe has been watching #UnitedStates #politics w/ numb dread, seeing President #Biden’s weakness at the polls & fearing a return to the years when Trump threatened the #international order that left them prosperous & cozy under the US military’s security blanket.

>> But I have to wonder WTF does the NYTimes think it is accomplishing when they attack President #biden

Same thing it accomplished when it attacked #Hillary #Clinton.

And that makes it all the more outrageous

Republicans shouldn't worry about their favorite candidate for President being unable to raise enough money to pay his legal expenses, he's still got plenty of top secret documents lying around that he could sell to Putin directly, and after that tongue massage from Tucker Carlson and offing Navalny, Vlad is on a roll.

Goodbye to my fearless friend, #AlexeiNavalny

Vladimir #Putin killed my friend Alexei #Navalny this week. There will be a time & place to discuss the politics & how the free world should respond. For now, I want to share a few memories.

Family member was surprised/flabbergasted when EMTs showed up not wearing masks for a bleeding issue & ranted about possible spurting blood in their faces and how stupid they were.

Me: Yep.

It apparently wasn't this way up until last week.

Gee, I wonder what could've happened to make things different.

Looking at you CDC.

UPDATED TRUMPOMATH

If Trump wants to appeal his 2 cases: E Jean Carroll & Engoron

Add INTEREST to both. E Jean Carroll $83.3M -> $83.7M. Engoron $354.9M -> $453.5M

Payment is bond. Add 11% to first, 20% to second. Total bond value becomes $637.1M

Trump needs SURETY bond = $662.6M

PLUS TAXES !!
