This might not be a popular view here, but I believe the guy. We all know Trump’s dubious history about paying people, I’m sure this guy does, too. This company is large enough that Trump can’t make them go away by ignoring and delaying it.
And, we might end up with Chubb simply taking a bunch of Trump properties. Could we end up with Chubb Tower? That alone might be worth it.
His advisors probably wouldn’t let him. I don’t think he really expected to win the first time, so he had to fill his staff out with career Republicans who weren’t so high on the Insurrection thing. He won’t make that mistake again . All the advisors in the second Trump administraton will owe their loyalty to him, exclusively.
If you are curious why Trump has any support at all, note that his statement fits in a tweet, while the Biden administration response took paragraphs. Like it or not, he knows how to hold his supporters’ attention, and have them believe what he wants them to believe.
No, I don’t recall the entire leadership of the party changing when the nominee for President is firmed up. Normally, the party committee’s job is not to get any one person elected, it’s to organize the fund raising and spending efforts to give the party the best shot at all the major races, from President to Congress to Governors and State Legislators. Since the President is the biggest job on the ticket, you always expect the party leadership to back their nominee, of course. But I don’t recall changes this major this close to the convention.
This is likely an attempt to make sure the RNC pays his legal bills, and doesn’t move to abandon him, even if he gets convicted.
“Without TikTok, you can make Facebook bigger, and I consider Facebook to be an enemy of the people,” Trump, who was formerly U.S. president between 2017 and 2021, said in a CNBC TV interview on Monday.
I am disappointed that they go through the whole article, and never point out that Trump runs his own social media platform, and that might give him a conflict of interest when speaking about Social Media companies. Is Facebook really an enemy of the people, or is it just a competitor of Truth Social?
It’s not “Biden is old” that gets you down voted, it’s “Biden is too old to do the job, so vote for the other guy who is almost as old but is worse in every way that matters” that gets the LemmyHammer.
Who in there right mind would, seriously, consider something that’s not even the closest thing to being backed by science and logic.
They’re not interested in science, logic, or anything that goes against their pre-concieved world view, though. They are right because they have the courage of their convictions, and if there are facts or logic that get in the way, well the facts and logic must be wrong!
That’s how we get to almost half the country believing in “alternative facts”, which makes governing this country so hard.
I disagree, it’s important to note that Conservatives love their families, too. They are not inhuman.
And their love of their family can, for some, feed into their racism. Their families are successful and they may attribute that to genetics. People with inferior genetics can’t really help themselves, can they? They need a ruling class to make the important decisions for them.
You’re right though, if they sue it won’t be to prevent this from happening to anyone else. It will be for revenge and punishment. Profit is a side motive here. They might pour an excessive amount into any lawsuit just for revenge.
I find it hard to talk badly of anyone who had just died, whether or not they were related to Mitch McConnell. That was a horrible way to go.
But, if it turns out the Tesla design was at fault, then we may be watching one of the few families who have enough resources to challenge Elon Musk get medieval on his ass. Which would be fun to watch, even if did take a tragedy to start all off.
