Kirk Gallaway Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Trumps social media site, Trump Media and Technology, appears to be headed for bankruptcy and Digital world who is now buying Truth Social has plummeted from an opening high of 175 in October last year to now trade around 22! It's interesting to note that Devan Nunes quit his Congressional job to become CEO of Trump Media and Technology! Great job, Devan! I didn't know this. Before leaving office, in January 2021, Trump awarded Nunes the Presidential Medal of Freedom along with Jim Jordan! https://www.salon.com/2022/08/28/truth-social-is-headed-for-bankruptcy_partner/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most pro-Beijing guys in Washington. https://cohengroup.net/what-we-do/regional-expertise/china "China is a market of enormous opportunity and complexity. The Cohen Group's (TCG) China Practice has a solid record of success with professionals in offices in Beijing, Tianjin and Washington, DC. Building upon decades of experience, on-the-ground management expertise, and long-time personal and professional relationships throughout the region, TCG's China Practice helps companies succeed in the Chinese market. TCG enables Fortune 500 Companies, as well as small- and medium-sized enterprises, to achieve their commercial goals in China through tailored government, business, and media relations strategies. As a global consultancy, TCG’s China Practice also uses its unique skill set to bring together East and West, facilitating constructive engagement and cooperation between leading multinational companies and Chinese enterprises around the world and helps support Chinese companies engaged in high-quality investments overseas. Such activities bring mutual benefit and strengthen the commercial relationships that underpin effective bilateral ties. Secretary William Cohen's involvement with China spans nearly thirty years, beginning in his days as a young Congressman from Maine in 1978 when he travelled to China to meet with Deng Xiaoping. Since then, he has been a constant presence in the US-China relationship, including commercial development and security cooperation. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of the US-China Business Council and as an honorary professor at Nankai University in Tianjin, China. Secretary Cohen is joined by a talented team of China specialists, including Chinese nationals with extensive experience in Chinese government ministries and the private sector, as well as Americans with combined decades of experience involving China." ---30--- William Cohen: I think in terms of China we have to recognize that China is a great power – economic power, it is becoming a military power. And so I don’t have a problem saying that China is a competitor. We have competitors, our closest allies are competitors – the Brits, the French, the Germans and others. So being a competitor is fine with me. You can be a friendly competitor or you can be a much more combative competitor. What I would disagree with is labeling China an enemy. I don’t believe that to be the case. China is a fierce competitor. They have a country of 1.3 billion people; they’ve got a leader who has unrestricted power as such for some time to come for as long as he wants, who has a vision of where he wants to take his country, it’s going to have very little difference of opinion on how he gets there. So I see China as a major competitor to the United States.-CNBC Yes, Beijing is like the Brits, Germans and French. One thing I have noticed: The China Lobby loathes detests and reviles Trump's non-globalism, and his tariffs on China. Interesting topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Cole Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Worth considering, even if you disagree--- Journalist Glenn Greenwald condemned the government, media and Big Tech for coordinating to censor dissent in a long Twitter thread on Tuesday. Greenwald explained that the game has changed entirely when it comes to Big Tech censorship, because now the government can launder its censorship through institutions, working around the First Amendment, with some in journalism providing an assist. "The regime of censorship being imposed on the internet – by a consortium of DC Dems, billionaire-funded ‘disinformation experts,’ the US Security State, and liberal employees of media corporations – is dangerously intensifying in ways I believe are not adequately understood," he began. "A series of ‘crises’ have been cynically and aggressively exploited to inexorably restrict the range of permitted views, and expand pretexts for online silencing and deplatforming. Trump's election, Russiagate, 1/6, COVID and war in Ukraine all fostered new methods of repression," he continued. "Dems routinely abuse their majoritarian power in DC to explicitly coerce Big Tech silencing of their opponents and dissent. This is *Govt censorship* disguised as corporate autonomy," he warned. Greenwald had a special condemnation for journalists and other experts funded by powerful billionaires who have made careers out of targeting dissenters. "There's now an entire new industry, aligned with Dems, to pressure Big Tech to censor. Think tanks and self-proclaimed ‘disinformation experts’ funded by Omidyar, Soros and the US/UK Security State use benign-sounding names to glorify ideological censorship as neutral expertise," he explained. "The worst, most vile arm of this regime are the censorship-mad liberal employees of big media corporations ([Ben Collins], @BrandyZadrozny, @TaylorLorenz, NYT tech unit). Masquerading as ‘journalists,’ they align with the scummiest Dem groups (@mmfa) to silence and deplatform," he continued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Caddy Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) Expect a decision today or tomorrow from the Justice Department on the biased Judge's order. Friday is the deadline for filing a response. The judge is a member of the Federalist Society. I think the Justice Department will file an appeal with the Eleventh Circuit. The Federalist Society members of the Appeal Court may delay and delay reaching a decision. If that court ultimately supports the biased Judge's order, then the Justice Department would appeal to the Supreme Court, where the Federal Society's members of that court could again delay and delay reaching a decision. Or maybe the whole issue could be expedited by the courts, which would be great. In any event the Justice Department could still indict Trump based on the classified documents obtained before the subpoena was issued. Trump could be tried on these purloined documents while the biased judge's order is appealed. Such an indictment would likely come soon after the November election. Key witnesses have already appeared before the federal grand jury investigating the purloined documents. The Justice Department has enough evidence now to indict. If Trump were indicted while the biased judge's order is being appealed, it would present an earth-shaking spectacle. In the end this whole legal wrangle may be of moot significance because Trump gave Putin copies of the Classified documents months ago, and it is only a matter of time before Putin issues a surrender ultimatum to the United States.

Whew! you probably shouldn't be getting our hopes up Doug of a DOJ overrun, though nothing would give me more pleasure than to stuff this Trumpie "apprentice" judge. Seems like Garland can always wait as can the Georgia prosecutor. Though I agree with you that they probably both know they got a strong case. How could it not be? Everything's political and now it's not fair and justice must be delayed for a potential "September surprise" in addition to an October Surprise, this despite that Trump isn't even running , but is a Republican kingmaker?
