Trump Media plunges more than 25% after company reports net loss of $58 million in 2023

My smile grew larger with each paragraph.

But I reached near-euphoria with these masterpieces of financial journalism:

The filing also warns shareholders that Trump's involvement in the company could put it at greater risk than other social media companies.

and…

TMTG also disclosed to regulators that the company had identified "material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting" when it prepared a previous financial statement for the first three quarters of 2023.

Republican former election clerk jailed for nine years over voter interference

Most delicious excerpt from the article:

(Presiding Judge) Barrett called out Peters for being “as defiant as a defendant that the court has ever seen” and said he believed Peters would do it all over again if she could. He accused her of seeking fame, despite her claims that she didn’t want attention for her actions.

He said she didn’t respect the courts, law enforcement, government officials or her colleagues, and had abused the power of her position. She didn’t take the clerk role “particularly seriously”, he said, noting she hadn’t completed certification, and that “one scandal after another followed you in your time as the clerk.”

He added, “You are no hero, you abused your position, and you’re a charlatan who used and is still using your prior position in office to peddle a snake oil that’s been proven to be junk time and time again.”

Judge Barrett from the top rope!

Suck it Peters!

how badly could a pelican fuck me up in a fight?

Haven’t seen it mentioned here, so a word to the wise: their beaks are somewhere sharp-edged, and if you were to grasp the beak and your hand were to slide lengthwise (towards or away from the tip), you could sustain a nasty cut.
