    After listing a number of Australia’s Covid laws, the host launched into a rant and called for military intervention: “When do we deploy troops to Australia? When do we invade Australia and free an oppressed people who are suffering under a totalitarian regime? When do we spend trillions of dollars to spread democracy in Australia?”
    Truly, Republicans have never met a foreign war they don't want to get involved with. Even going to war with our allies.

    well based on this companies track record the chances of it going public are very low. If anything its another grift just to make $$ and they will blame the failure on liberals and the media

    Want something so nutty you can't even make something like this up. There is no one creative enough to make this up...
    Can you imagine a democrat or "lubral" did this and had this many "suspicious links" how fast the crazy Rights conspiracy engine would run.

    I think at this point all this proves Trump has been brought and owned by the Chinese and Liberal Billionaires

    Digital World Acquisition Corp

    - Digital World Acquisition was incorporated in late 2020, shortly after Trump lost a reelection bid against Biden

    Largest Shareholder
    - ARC Capital held a near 18% stake, or 6.6 million shares
    https://www.arccap.us/about-us/

    Global Offices

    Shanghai - Main Corporate office.
    Wuhan
    Mexico City
    Sao Paulo

    - D.E. Shaw owned 8%
    Shaw has donated US$2.25 million to Priorities USA Action, a super PAC supporting Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton
    Prominent former employees - Jeff Bezos


    Other Big owners:
    Glenn Russell Dubin, Wife and Co Highbridge Capital Management
    On April 19, 2012, Dubin and his wife Eva signed The Giving Pledge, created by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett



    Patrick Orlando, CEO of DWAC
    Singapore
    Chief Executive Officer, China Yunhong Holdings Ltd
    Orlando, who graduated from MIT, spent five years at Deutsche Bank (that bank again huh?)


    Trump's fixation on dictators, far right groups and the like continues.


    The chief financial officer of Digital World Acquisition is Luis Orleans-Braganza, a member of Brazil’s parliament and a supporter of the far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro.

    Orleans-Braganza is also a member of Brazil’s defunct royal family, which has not been in power since the country became a republic in the late 19th century. But members of the family still pretend to be royalty. Orleans-Braganza himself has proposed an amendment to Brazil’s constitution that would create a fourth branch of government, a move that many observers see as an attempt to begin reinstalling a monarchy in Brazil.
    Buh Byeeeeeeeeeeee !!

    Sometimes it can get really absurd.

    San Francisco GOP is hosting Marjorie Taylor Greene, whose vaccination status complicates plans

    Tickets for the Nov. 6 event start at $175, but because Greene has declined to share her COVID-19 vaccination status with the SF GOP (or anyone, for that matter), the event cannot be hosted in San Francisco, which has a proof-of-vaccination requirement for large indoor events. Instead, the event will be held somewhere in northern San Mateo County, with the specific venue being announced 48 hours in advance of the event.


    WTH! I don't think SF GOP is even trying to win votes in San Francisco.

    It's going to end up going into Bankruptcy with Trump walking away with whatever money could be squeezed out with his hands. Tinly hands. Yitty-bitty. SAD!

    So how long do people want to bet this crappy 'social media network' lasts? Trumps crappy blog barely lasted a month, after all, and as we all know everything Trump touches dies.

    The funny part, San Mateo County has indoor mask mandate. She is anti-mask. Well, she does not have to wear mask if she is fully vaccinated. Catch-22.

    House Republicans unanimously decide that refusing to answer Congress's questions is not contempt.

    Write those names down -- from now on, they are no longer allowed to vote to hold anyone in contempt, for any reason, ever.

    That's because this is solely about the grift, not the politics.

    I saw a headline that some stock involved jumped 100+% on the news. It's quite possible that...zero. Zero time. They could pump and dump and walk out with millions.

    Also, they have it in their ToS that they can't be sued, you know, section 230 for social media sites, like the ones that Trump and his dumbass minions are trying to repeal.

    Donald Trump Accused of Ripping Code From Social Network Mastodon for 'Truth' Site

    Which is okay.

    "The main thing is that Mastodon is free software, released under the AGPLv3 license, so anyone can use it—provided they comply with the license. The main part of the license is making the source code and any modifications to it available to the public,"


    Except Truth Social's website states that all of its source code is "proprietary," which conflict with Mastodon licensing.

    Oh, and there is this. Within hours of it being announced, it was hacked. It hasn't even been released, and they are hacking it, must be Rudy Guiliani being their "cyber security expert". Though that dumbass couldn't even unlock his phone.

    it jumped over 400% at one point with zero actual products, customers, revenue.....

    typical meme stock activities.

    The worst part is the 300 million in funding they claim to have can be pulled at anytime.

    you can bet some of the biggest owners are probably looking to quickly downsize their holdings and take a huge profit. there will be plenty of uneducated retail investors to take their place.

    Less "hacked" and more, "Folks found the publicly accessible URL and had a field day." as far as I could tell. It's about as much "hacking" as clicking "inspect element" on a government web page and seeing that names and SSN's of people are publicly visible.

    The bargain bin version of a 'social media network' isn't going to succeed for the same reason Parler and others failed. Trumpsters don't do well in an echo chamber. Almost like JW, they believe they have the answers and just need to educate the masses on (ironically) what they've been told to believe is the 'Truth'. This is why you see Trumpsters with over-the-top huge flags and banners, some even personally buying billboards, pushing Trump messages. That evangelism of Trump that they crave doesn't happen in a very Orwellian sanitized one-way discussion. In their one-sided platforms, it just quickly descends into a cesspool of far-out conspiracy theories, and as they are debunked and/or fail to come true time and time again, most people become bored and disillusioned and quietly move on.
