I agree Jonson gives an effective look at how politics can work.  These days that has much to do with which Repubs are pro-Putin or not.  The GOP has as tough a time working with each other as they do reaching across the aisle.
The article seemed unbalanced to me in that it was too anti-Biden/Pro-Trump.  One might expect that in a Mike Johnson interview.  But the "senior moment" accusation was such a softball moment.  Politico made it too easy for Johnson to piss on Biden and even easier to give Trump an anal tongue bath.   
Perhaps Johnson stipulated that he would not entertain criticism of Trump.  But that's not balanced journalism.  
Some say that O'Neill kissing Reagan in the hospital was a made up story.  It does sound almost like a joke, as if O'Neill told it one night, after too many glasses of wine.  He hated Reagan.  A lot of people did.
But in today's light, Reagan does seem quite tolerable.  Those were the days.
 

Abortion after 9 months is called a school shooting and Republicans do nothing to stop those!
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

Now, come on.  Let's be realistic.
I'd be happy if he just lost a little weight, and stopped acting so humble.  😉

Yup.
When you wrote that a little over a month ago DJT was at $66.  So it has, as of today, lost one third of it's value.  Some lemonade!  Trump is unique at knowing how to lose.  Not him, personally.  I mean he excels at turning his MAGA cult into losers.  Lose, lose, lose!
DJT in consistent.  When he didn't lose as bad as people thought he would in 2020, he called it "winning."  That led to lots of cops having their heads beat in.  Festive!  Now that his stock is down only one third, not two thirds, that is "winning" too.
That's the DJT we know, and don't love.  Or even respect.  Loser!

I'd buy SOXL instead.  It's an ETF with NVDA, AVGO, all the tech powerhouses.  
My nephew was recently up close to 10x on the $7 shares he bought in Fall 2022.  I made the mistake of listening to the doom and gloom recession mongers in late 2022 and waited until Fall 2023 to jump into SOXL.  But as Jim Roppel said recently, the "real money" started to be made starting Fall 2023.  And he thinks about half of the money made on this bull will be in AI/tech related investments like SOXL and FNGU.
Doesn't it shock you, @EmmetK, that real smart and rich traders and investors are not screaming, "Buy Trump!  Buy DJT!"
Anyhoo, SOXL just had the inevitable freefall correction from $58 to about $30.  I actually sold half of mine in the 40's, at like a 100 % profit, thinking there would be a correction and I'd take some profits and buy back later.  And now I will.  A LOT.  I think by the end of May it may be the $20's.  As will DJT.  Again.  
One stock is a big winner.  And one is a big loser.  Which do you think is which?

If you bought Trump stock two weeks ago (when it bottomed out at $22 on April 17) - and shame on you if you didn't - you more than doubled your money as it is now over $48...
Who gets the last laugh? It isn't that useless idiot Jimmy Kimmel or the left-wingers here who predicted doom for Trump Media stock!
TRUMP 2024
MAGA

With those tiny hands!
Stormy River will soon describe the even tinier third hand. 😎

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) – In a twist that surprised even the most hardened trial watchers, Donald J. Trump’s hush money trial came to a sudden conclusion on Wednesday after the defendant issued a full confession while soundly asleep.
Trump, who had been snoring vigorously all morning, began mumbling shortly after 10 a.m. despite Judge Juan M. Merchan’s admonishment that he quiet down.
His eyes still closed, the indicted businessman blurted, “I had sexual relationships with Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, then orchestrated an elaborate hush money conspiracy to corrupt the 2016 election.”
The courtroom was dumbfounded to hear Trump issue not only a complete confession but also a complete sentence, witnesses said.
As Trump’s head bobbed forward and he resumed snoring, his lawyers gathered their papers with an air of resignation and quietly filed out of the courtroom.
His lead attorney, Todd Blanche, was philosophical about the trial ending so prematurely, telling reporters, “We probably weren’t going to get paid anyway.”

So it looks like he hit his bogey yesterday, keeping the stock price above $17.50 for twenty days, and he's been awarded another 36 million shares.  If my math is right, that brings his total holdings to 115 million shares.
 
As if on cue, yesterday Devin Nunes asked Congress to investigate the potential "unlawful manipulation of DJT stock."  Now that Trump has pocketed his 'earnout' bonus, my prediction was - and is - that he'll start bellyaching that he's once again being 'treated unfairly'.
It would be nice if, just this once, he'd step up and say, "I'm running this business, my name is on the door, and it's up to me to make it a success and deliver value to our shareholders.  I, Donald J. Trump, will make sure my investors and supporters are not left holding the bag."
If he can make America great again, why can't he make Trump Media great again?  

“If you bought Trump stock two weeks ago ― and shame on you if you did ― you lost half your money,” Jimmy Kimmel said on Tuesday. “But if you hold on just a little bit longer, you might be able to lose all of it.”

Trump Media plunges more than 25% after company reports net loss of $58 million in 2023
The share price of Trump Media
plunged Monday after the social media app company closely tied to former President Donald Trump reported a net loss of $58.2 million on revenue of just $4.1 million in 2023.
Trump Media & Technology Group shares were trading down by more than 25% around 1:08 p.m. ET.
The losses last year by Trump Media — the owner of the Truth Social app routinely used by the former president — could continue for some time, according to the company.
“TMTG expects to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future,” says the filing, which came a week after the company began trading under the ticker DJT on the Nasdaq.
The filing also warns shareholders that Trump’s involvement in the company could put it at greater risk than other social media companies.
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.
As of Monday, Trump Media said these “identified material weaknesses continue to exist.”
