    Good video going over his options.

    Mark Levin is a Jewish Zionist.

    That takes precidence over ever other issue for him.

    This is a key issue that is missing from all these discussions.

    Trump is beholden to Israel just as much as Biden, but maybe he is not as reliable as Biden.

    He's beholden to the evangelical vote, who (for some reason) believe in the zionist ideal that the Jewish state is a biblical prophecy

    Why are there no Republican multi-billionaires offering to lend President Trump the funds to file his appeal in the outrageous case in NY state?” Levin tweeted. “Are none of them liquid enough to help or join with others to help? This is an outrage.”

    Because they know Trump never pays his bills?

    I think for years his lack of business sense has been masked by shady backers.

    The problem now is, anyone who backs him will be subject to media scrutiny, and furthermore, people will be asking "who is he beholden to?".

    Harder to operate legitimately in daylight, isn't it, oul Donny Nobucks?

    Exactly. If he screws over contractors and lawyers for hundreds and thousands of dollars, why would he be any different with larger figures?

    Plus I'd say a lot of them are paper billionaires. Their net worth is mostly tied up in shares and assets, and most of them take out loans to pay for big expenses which the banks happily give because of their net worth, interest and to keep them happy.

    The reason Trump can't come up with the cash himself is his assets have been proven to have been falsely valued and hugely inflated, his shares are tanking because of the trouble Trump's companies are in, and he's essentially lied to most of the banks he's dealt with.

    Why on earth would any billionaire Republican donor sell off assets and shares to help pay Trump's near half-a-billion dollar bond when he's incredibly likely to lose, his assets aren't worth sh*t and are likely tied up in loans, and his legal team are as bad in front of judges as the bewildered rejects that get thrown in front of the X Factor judges for the audience to mock and laugh at.

    100%

    In the past he was almost the ideal front man for the unsavoury to hide behind - High Profile , full of bluster , utterly amoral and willing to lie his ass off for cash.

    Now though , anyone that gives him this money will be forensically examined in minute detail and absolutely none of his usual cash sources want anything to do with that.

    In the real world, where Trump has never really operated he is ultra high risk and even if he put all his properties up for sale he probably still isn't able to cover the debt.

    He's f*cked and he knows it..

    Ya know what Joe? It's almost like, he's not a successful businessman?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,015 ✭✭✭Russman


    Regardless of the outcome of the appeal(s), if he was to win in November, I hope he doesn't but fear he will, could he just simply not "pay up" while he's president ? Is it a hard and fast rule or just a custom that you can't go after sitting presidents ?

    538 podcast doing a good bit of philosophising over the reliability of polls with the two presumptive nominees being virtually neck and neck. The latest episode is called, "How worried should Democrats be about the polls?"

    I would argue that they should be fairly worried, if only to nip complacency in the bud. The podcast is talking about how reliable polls can be, and certainly not every poll is, but aren't they the main way of predicting electoral outcomes and gauging the mood of the electorate?

    Questions would be if polls are not the best way of gauging this, what is? And also, at what point should Democrats become worried, if they aren't already, should the numbers hold? After the party conventions?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 36,682 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    They should absolutely be worried right up until about January 25th 2025.

    Polling should be considered irrelevant. They need to go full bore, non-stop, every vote counts, and make it as definitive as possible throughout the entire country and even keep that messaging going until Biden is inaugurated again.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,021 ✭✭✭✭duploelabs


    Or another question is, would he get security clearance if he's bankrupt and a potential asset? Or maybe I've been watching line of duty too much



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 501 ✭✭✭lostboy75


    Is it wrong to think 'I'm ok with the current polling showing Trump up' my thinking is the supporting Republicans are quite vocal and engaged, where as the Dems are still to fully ramp up, any undecided still probably hasn't spend much time thinking on the elections at all yet. It's only in the last few weeks that they will actually think much on the elections at all?

    The Dems will need to start pushing there side and ensure as large a turn out as possible, any right thinking individual, even a historic Republican would have to considering jumping to the Dems as the only logical option.

    The only Caveat to the above is, I truely don't seem to understand what's happening in the US currently and how any right thinking individual is in any way undecided. Anyone but Trump (ABT) is surely preferable.

    Edit to clarify, the reps leading polls should help ensure a larger turn out from Dems and undecided Dem voters to get out and vote

    Edit - ignore.

    Now quote the part before that, you know, the context you are leaving out on purpose



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,858 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    FINALLY, someone is going to try using the "he was talking about the automobile industry" defence.

    Thats pretty much my thinking as well. Being vocal on the internet, Pro-MAGA sh!t posting on the internet doesn't necessarily automatically convert to getting off yer arse to actually go and vote.

    A sort of Hare and Tortoise situation. The MAGA types celebrating their win from behind a keyboard, while the Dems just vote the fucker candidate out.

    Plus from a Russian interference point of view, it is very easy for FSB agents to write a few bots which answer Trump on online polls.

    Covered it here: https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121909248/#Comment_121909248

    Bloodbath is a common term for a downturn in a market. He was talking about the auto industry under Biden versus under himself. The clip that circulated leaves out all of that for maximum damage.

    It's just frustrating as Trump says so much bat **** crazy stuff that we shouldn't be reaching for contentious quotes that Trump and his followers can shout FAKE NEWS about and be right for once.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,662 ✭✭✭✭briany


    Where's the evidence that the Democrats are still to fully ramp up? As much as Trump inspires vociferous support among his cult members, he should inspire an equally strong pushback, given what he's about. The threat of Trump is now probably worse than 2016 or 2020 because the team behind him have a real vision of what they want to do and how they're going to do it. This isn't really a reality that appears to be penetrating the minds of right-thinking Americans so far or else poll numbers would look significantly different in Biden's favour.

    On top of that, the co-chair of the RNC has said that they plan to hire thousands of election workers to monitor polls and ensure electoral integrity. Considering absolutely no fraud whatsoever was ever proven about the 2020 election, this should be setting off major alarm bells, yet I only hear crickets. What are the Democrats doing to ensure the enfranchisement of as many voters as possible, such that Republicans in swing states are not able to intimidate voters or mess with votes?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,683 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    He could maybe, but if so the accrued interest would crucify him.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,683 ✭✭✭✭Overheal




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 36,682 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    I have to say, regarding the "bloodbath" comment, I do think it's fair enough to say that he was talking about the motor industry. I mean, he's pretty much said similar about the election itself numerous times, and likely will again before November, but on this occasion I think the reaction is unwarranted.

    It's also meant that this moment, where he says he wants everyone to sit up and pay attention to him like Kim Jong Un (the dictator) has the people of his country do, has kind of gone under the radar.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,488 ✭✭✭amandstu


    "My people" ffs

    He can say more than one thing at the same time

    Don't we know him yet?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,488 ✭✭✭amandstu


    So you are with Steve Bannon?

    "Flood the zone"

    Give him a pass because he has said worse?

    We can make up our own minds what we think he was trying to say.

    He has so much shìt in his brain that it oozes out willy nilly.
