This image shows all you need to know about politicians. There have been plentiful opportunities for either party to flatten or bend this curve, they have not. Meet the new boss, exactly the fucking same as the old boss, and the circus continues. There is no difference in party, just the people who keep them in power.

if you actually look at the numbers, things were great when trump took over and were complete shit at the end.

trump printed a ton of money. where do you think this inflation comes from?

Tulsi Gabbard appears to be a good choice, the reason liberals don't like her is she is not a slave to their insane nonsense. Liberals like Omaha and Jaff wear me out. I think I will take a break from this board.

i'm not a liberal. but i understand why you would think of me as one. since i shit on your hero. i do that because he deserves it. if the republicans could start being normal again, i would be much happier.

and also, its just a conversation. no need to get all worked up. nobody is attacking you. you don't have to pretend to be a victim. people like you who stay in their comfort places/echo chambers, could really use some information that isn't right wing propaganda.

Under Trump life was better, under these old decrepit dems, life is worst True or false? Let the FBI do their job??? Laughable when they didn't do their job in the past. Fuck off with this nonsense, liberals never cease to amaze me with their loyalty to communism/socialism. I will tell you again, don't fucking judge me Omaha, you don't fucking know me. I just tell you what I believe, if you don't like it, well fuck off. The truth is Trump was way better than Biden.

mmmmm no. he wasn't. thats just what fox news tells you. trump was a complete disaster as a president and the numbers speak to that.

Look, I'm with Racehorse, I sincerely hope Trump doesn't run for president either. I just don't like the hypocrisy.

so they are criminals but aren't being investigated because of a left wing conspiracy?

where is the evidence?

There were a lot who got very vocal during the Trump presidency in support of the guy. For some of them, the rabid nature of their support truly scared me. I am ready for the guy to go away. Not to jail, per se, just away.

Like to a nursing home.

The dude is just too old for that job.

So is Biden.

Maybe both Trump and Biden could retire together to the same nursing home complex and their next election battle could be for the president of the Shady Hills Nursing Home.

Former President Donald Trump's Twitter knockoff Truth Social stiffed a contractor in the latest sign of financial "disarray" at the troubled social network, according to Fox Business.


Truth Social, which is headed by former Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., is in a "bitter battle" with RightForge, the network's web host and one of its largest vendors, over $1.6 million in unpaid bills, according to the report.

The company entered into an agreement with Truth Social in October. Sources told Fox Business that Truth Social made just three payments and hasn't paid anything since March. The company is now threatening legal action unless it is paid, according to the report.

RightForge CEO Martin Avila did not deny the report but told the outlet he would not comment on "any private matters."

"RightForge believes in the mission of President Trump's free speech platform and wish to continue supporting the president in his media endeavors," he said in a statement.

A spokesperson for Truth Social likewise did not deny the allegations.

Trump and his companies have a long record of stiffing contractors. "Trump never pays his bills," tweeted Jeff Jarvis, a media professor and blogger.

RightForge, which aims to provide right-wingers with alternatives to Silicon Valley products, previously announced big plans for Truth Social. Avila told Axios last year that the company was "laying the groundwork" for Truth Social to compete with Twitter and have more than 75 million users.

"If you believe that the president should be de-platformed, we believe that you're not really interested in living in a free country," he told the outlet. "And that's really what we're all about is making sure that America stays true to its core ideas, and that the marketplace of ideas stays open."

But less than a year later, the company is accusing Truth Social of breach of contract.

The network got off to a disastrous launch as users were plagued by technical glitches, outages and an extensive waitlist. Truth Social's planned merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), has been indefinitely delayed amid questions about its financial health. The blank check company is facing a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation into whether it illegally negotiated the Truth Social deal before going public. The company was also subpoenaed by a federal grand jury in New York last month amid a Justice Department investigation into the merger.

The probes have upended the two sides' business plans. Digital World said that the investigations "could materially delay, materially impede, or prevent the consummation of the business combination."

The company in an SEC filing this week set a September 6 shareholder meeting to determine whether to delay the deadline to finalize the merger and warned that it could go under if the merger is not completed, according to CNBC. The company warned in the filing that Trump's mounting scandals threaten to harm the deal.

"If President Trump becomes less popular or there are further controversies that damage his credibility or the desire of people to use a platform associated with him, and from which he will derive financial benefit, [Trump Media's] results of operations, as well as the outcome of the proposed Business combination, could be adversely affected," the filing said.

Shares of Digital World have fallen by more than 42% since the start of the year.

Despite Trump's big plans for the company, Digital World said in May that it is far from certain that the venture would succeed.

"There is no operating history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that [Trump Media] will prove successful and [Trump Media] may never generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If TMTG is unsuccessful in addressing these risks, its business will most likely fail," Digital World said in a regulatory filing, adding that Truth Social does not yet generate revenue and may not until at least next year.

Trump has also complained about his app's absence from the Android app store, with the app only available for download on iOS devices.

"Is Google trying to f**k me?" he questioned over the spring, according to Rolling Stone, even though a source told the outlet at the time that Truth Social had not even submitted an app for Google to review because it was still in development.

The former president suffered another setback after the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office denied his application to trademark "Truth Social." The office determined that the company's name is "confusingly similar" to the social media platform Vero – True Social and the Truth Network, a Christian radio network.

"Ideally," trademark attorney Josh Gerben, who surfaced the filing, told Axios, "you would pick a name where this wasn't going to happen."
