US Presidential Election 2024
Biden's State of the Union address tonight is being described by his own party as a make-or-break speech for his election campaign. Let's hope he doesn't need to name many world leaders, remembers he's in America and remembers his wife's name.
That's just cruel but is a reprise of a Not the nine o'clock news sketch

I remember that one.Biden pulled a few quotes in his speech, and indeed stirred the Republicans by mentioning Reagan. He said, Reagan told Gorbachev to "tear down this wall". The former president told Putin to do what the hell he likes.
He had all the Justices sitting glum-faced when he quoted their judgement over Wade v Roe. As for age, he said it doesn't matter how old you are but how old your ideas are. Anger, revenge and retribution are the oldest ideas in the world. Reminds me of another stunt Reagan pulled off against Mondale when questioned about his age.

But Trump, once again, may be able to find the money......
Trump Media, which runs the social media platform Truth Social, is poised to become a publicly listed company, with shareholders of Digital World Acquisition Corp set to vote on Friday on whether to acquire it. Mr Trump would have a stake of at least 58% in the merged company, worth more than $3bn at Digital World's current share prices.

A $6bn company that doesn't make money and the only reason for listing is so the majority shareholder can offload his shares to pay a fraud judgement. I wonder what these will be worth in November?Archery1969 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 8:58 amBut Trump, once again, may be able to find the money......

The deal has been passed. Now Trump can’t sell his shares for 6 months but he can straightaway if he renames the company in the next 48 hours.
Michael Ohlrogge, a law professor at New York University said “This is an enormous amount of money for Trump with the initial value anywhere between $3bn and $10 billion. It could be worth even more if Trump’s loyal base were to purchase just 1 share each”
Whatever happens, it seems Trump now has a massive election chest of money even after paying a $450m fine within the next 3 days.
I have to admit that US politics is nuts if the person with the most money can secure the keys to the white house and during stay out of prison.
A strange world we live in.
