Trump’s own lexicon in action ( malapropisms ) …

At an event with African leaders, Trump twice referred to the fictitious nation of "Nambia."

Observers assumed he was combining the names of two real African countries, Zambia and Namibia. The White House later clarified Trump was talking about Namibia.

Trump left an audience of Christian students confused in January 2016 when he cited a Bible book he described as "Two Corinthians."

Speaking at the evangelical Liberty University, Trump drew a mix of laughter and face-palms when he said, "Two Corinthians, 3:17, that's the whole ballgame."

Alzheimers - Body odor - Mutated Mushroom - Orange Pallor …. Bottom line - Trump is a fucking moron that shits in a diaper.

Ok Bye :bigjoint:

Trump Media's Accounting Firm Charged With Massive Fraud


The SEC charged BF Borgers, the accounting firm for former President Donald Trump’s social media company, with “massive fraud.”

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Friday charged the accounting firm for former President Donald Trump’s social media company with “massive fraud” after an investigation uncovered “deliberate and systemic failures” to comply with U.S. audit standards.

According to the SEC, BF Borgers and its owner Benjamin Borger allegedly fabricated documents and falsely represented to clients that its audit work would comply with accounting rules following a review of more than 1,500 SEC filings from 2021 to 2023. The Colorado-based firm and its owner have agreed to pay a combined $14 million to settle the charges, and were required to stop filing audited statements on behalf of its clients, which include Trump’s social media company.


“Ben Borgers and his audit firm, BF Borgers, were responsible for one of the largest wholesale failures by gatekeepers in our financial markets,” SEC Enforcement Director Gurbir Grewal said in a statement. “They not only put investors and markets at risk by causing public companies to incorporate noncompliant audits and reviews into more than 1,500 filings with the Commission, but also undermined trust and confidence in our markets.”

The regulator said that it found the audit firm sometimes copied work from previous audits and only changed the relevant dates, passing them off as workpapers for a current audit period. BF Borgers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

My cousin went through the whole process. He does not get bothered at truck stops (long distant driver) as he is a BIG boy. Or was one, spent years in the military. I do not know any women that can drop him, not that there are not any. Could a man pining to be a woman be into sports and then decide to convert? Sure. But is it fair to women if he competes against them where muscle mass makes the difference? Given that men can put on more muscle than women?
Does there need to be a government law or should it just be up to the sport itself to designate its rules? The culture wars that are now using our government (and tax payers money) to attack the couple dozen or so kids (and maybe a dickhead here or there looking to make a point) that they know won't be sympathetic to their base. So the GQP know that while this won't lose them any votes, they can use it as a government funded attack ad against the people voting to not ostracize some kids that just want to play after school with their friends.

There are governing bodies that regulate fair competition already. What makes politicians know more about fair competition than the people who's entire job is keeping sports competitive and growing? There have been cisgender women banned from track events because of naturally elevated testosterone, with some coerced into surgery or taking medication to reduce the natural testosterone levels in their bodies for fair competition if they want to continue to compete.

I agree that the one case I can think of, Lia Thomas - the swimmer, causes apprehension when thinking about keeping sports fair. If there are athletes that were female at birth, and underwent gender testing to prove they were female, and were still banned because of too much competitive advantage - how likely is it that trans-athletes are going to become a big enough of an issue that required this legislation?

The issue should be studied further, but it has started and assumptions may not be reality regarding trans-athletes dominance in sports.

If the R's are so concerned about protecting female athletes, maybe they should focus on what can be done to reduce the sexual violence they face compared to non athletes. We all know that won't happen, because it's not about protecting female athletes - it's about attacking people they don't believe should exist.
I should have just kept reading.

Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke out against the coalition that ended Trump's and Putin's campaign against US support for Ukraine. They shook her opposition like a dog shakes a rat. She's doing what she does, makes an angry speech and does some symbolic act, in this case coining a term and making some hats.


She's right to get afraid and then angry. She's nothing against that coalition. Democrats and about half the Republican caucus voted to support funding for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. They did this against MAGA Republicans and Trump's wishes. They promise to defang MAGA congressmen by promising to sustain Johnson if MGT and MAGA congress try to unseat him. Expect the right wing echo chamber to take up the clarion call against those Republicans who broke from Trump and MGT. Probably will call them socialists too. The snake continues to eat itself from the tail up.
