Look, we’re not valuation specialists here.

But I assume you’re being facetious
The valuation/revenue multiple of truth social is about 2,000x. If you applied that multiple to apple, apple would be worth like $700 trillion

I’m honestly curious how something like that is allowed. It’s insanely overvalued and yet is allowed to run wild and leave others holding the bag (eventually)

“Happy Holy Week! Let’s Make America Pray Again. As we lead into Good Friday and Easter, I encourage you to get a copy of the God Bless the USA Bible,” Trump wrote, directing his supporters to a website selling the book for $59.99.
This should be an easy slam dunk of disgust for my fellow evangelicals, but I know people will go out and buy it in droves.

More evidence that the Atlantic is a garbage publication.

Just a whiny turd student complaining about pro Palestine, anti-Israel sentiment on campus. Who just happens to the son of a nytimes national reporter

Are you saying that Jews have nothing to complain about when it comes to what has been happening at colleges?

He won't be able to sell any of his interest for 6 months unless the board lets him do that. I'd image if he ever sell a large amount the stock price will tank. It's a MEME stock like the video game store was awhile ago.

Are you saying that pro-isreali students encountering radical opinions on college campuses is worthy of publication in a national magazine?

The Atlantic has become the landing spot for homeless neocons. It's giving a cover as a "moderate" or "centrist" publication to **** Canaans from the Bush years that should be in prison.

Found an RFK Jr. voter in the wild!

I’m confused why people think rfk is stealing votes from Biden.

The no labels ticket, yeah, that would peel off center right soft Biden voters. But rfk is a home for the “pox on both their houses”,
Joe rogan types.

This RFK person is a 2016 Trump voter, 2020 Biden voter (according to him, anyways).

A normal Kennedy got smoked in a senate primary in Massachusetts. I also know one rfk supporter, he’s an antivax, crypto guy, self described libertarian. That, to me, is the rfk voter.

You're referring to the people who actually bother to read one article or watch one report on RFK. I'm talking about the dummies who show up to vote knowing absolutely nothing and they'll see that Kennedy name, remember all the good times of when Kennedys would get shot and then decide "welp, gotta be better than Biden or Trump."

So low-propensity voters.

The Biden coalition has abandoned chasing that voting bloc.

They are all-in on the high propensity center-right, suburban voters. It's why they're both dominating special elections, and struggling in the polls with minority, and youth votes.

This is a great short-term strategy for electoral success in the Trump years, but as soon as the GOP extracts the Trump tumor, that coalition moves right back to the GOP, and the Dems are stuck with like Liz Warren types, and that's it.

I am excited to see how this turns out this cycle in places where GOP state legislators have implemented voter registration laws and obstacles. I am pretty sure that those laws work well to deter the young sort of "alpha male" minority types that are gravitating towards Trump.

That Alabama election last night was wild. Dems kind of crushed that and the Republicans are still pushing the abortion/IVF stuff.

lol... some of the highlights on that website.
This Bible also features a copy of:

Handwritten chorus to “God Bless The USA” by Lee Greenwood
The US Constitution
The Bill of Rights
The Declaration of Independence
The Pledge of Allegiance
WHAT MAKES THIS BIBLE UNIQUE AND SPECIAL?
First and foremost, The God Bless The USA Bible is the ONLY Bible inspired by America’s most recognized patriotic anthem, God Bless The USA.
WTF does that mean? ONLY bible inspired by America's most recognized patriotic anthem.... isn't the bible, like, already a thing? You can't write a new bible, right?

Incredibly small turnout, but the margins pretty clearly illustrate who is motivated to actually vote.

But I do think special elections have always been a better harbinger for upcoming elections, than polls.

As I have no doubt that people are telling pollsters they hate Biden. But voters are telling use they want republicans out in actual elections. I think turnout is going to be lower this year, 2020 was an outlier year for turnout.

I think there’s just plenty of normal people that are both disengaged from politics and are repulsed by Trump.

I think technically you could re-write it in English because all English versions are translations. So you can “massage” some of the translations because it’s not necessarily all 1:1

that said, there’s a 0% chance that it’ll be honestly translated

I'd say there's also a 0% chance they went to the time and expense to do their own translation for a blatant, shameless cash grab.

maybe they did an Eric Cartman and just found and replaced all references of “Jesus” to “America”
