          I never gave out any of that shit. Gold didn’t mean anything. It’s just artificial scarcity.

          Why would you add scarcity online where it doesn’t exist? Only to make money. People will look back on all the stupid shit we put up with online just to make everything “free”.

            people can simply make a donation already, if they like. all of the extra work and resources required to run a coin and rewards system, track earning/spending and accounts, plus a secure payment system, etc… that would all cost a lot of time and resources. and that would require even more donations to pay for and maintain.

            you’re right: it’s not useless, it’s worse than useless.

            if you want to donate, just do that. if you want unconditional love, adopt a puppy.

    Hahaha… The funny thing is he’s right. The election was rigged, but the dumbass doesn’t realize that it was rigged in his favor and he still lost.

    (And by rigged, I mean we’re still using the electoral college that over-weights typically GOP states).

    100% unironic message I received from a family member 😑 (changed some words to keep it anonymous, make it legible, and protect the innocent)

    “Trump is gonna own you libs this time, just you wait! Our 4D chess GOD has sat on this report for 3 years. He could have released it right after the election, but you fools just don’t see the whole board like he does! This is the perfect time for it so he can watch you dummies seethe in rage and take back the country! I’m so happy to be one of the God Emperor’s Chosen! I’ve donated all I can to his fund, and you should too!”

      I read stuff like this in comment sections and figures it’s just someone trolling for a reaction, but there are so many people who are actually like this. It’s so depressing to think that there are honestly people who think Trump is some great genius. If he goes to jail, they’ll still be saying “Just you watch! Any day now he’s going to spring the trap.”

            Qanon got it into their tiny little heads that JFK Jr was alive, or risen from the dead, and would lead them to their promised white Christian ethnostate or something.

            I maintain, as my personal unfounded theory, some rot-brain heard RFK Jr was on their team and assumed it was a typo, then decided to start writing a fan fic.

    Still not serious about all this, huh. I have a hard time telling if he’s legitimately losing it or just playing around hoping to run out the clock. Probably a combination of both, but this just seems like the worst way to handle this situation. And yet, he keeps getting away with it.

      It’s basically what he’s always done, just keep promising salvation just around the corner.

      It feels like a lot of people have already forgotten that after the 2020 election, he was going on about “Releasing the Kraken” every few days, as though he had a total gamestopper piece of evidence that he was just sitting on - nothing ever appeared. Before that he let on that he was going to “Drain the swamp” aaaaaany day now, just you wait - except nothing ever happened.

      Trump is all about smoke and mirrors and empty promises. And it works for him because once he says it, his followers just believe it, even if he never talks about it again. Tons of Trump supporters still to this day believe that he had unshakable evidence of fraud in the 2020 election, just like tons believe that political corruption dissapeared under Trump, only to re-appear the second Biden took office.

      And now all his supporters will believe that Trump is going to prove the election was a fraud, defeat all his indictments, and become president again. And when none of that (or certainly at least not the first two) happens, they’ll just claim the game was rigged and the deep state is responsible. It’s easy to always win when your supporters aren’t willing to consider the possibility that you lost

      Running out the clock in his case means running out his own clock. trying to quash the trials after (if) he goes back into office is an extremely risky affair and may not even work against the state prosecutions.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis indicted Donald Trump on Monday for working to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, just weeks after Special Counsel Jack Smith indicted him on federal charges for his efforts to subvert the democratic process nationwide.

    It all seems pretty damning, but the wily former president has an ace up his sleeve: He’s going to simply prove the election was rigged and convince Willis and Smith to drop the charges.

    “A Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia is almost complete & will be presented by me at a major News Conference at 11:00 A.M. on Monday of next week in Bedminster, New Jersey,” Trump announced Tuesday morning on Truth Social.

    The post came hours after Trump railed late at night against “an out of control and very corrupt” Willis.

    Willis didn’t indict Trump two-and-a-half years ago because an investigation this sprawling takes a long time to actually complete.

    It must take just as long to complete such a “Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT,” one that must be chock-full of new information all of the other investigative bodies who worked to uncover proof of fraud were unable to obtain.
