Trump Loses Big on Truth Social & Women’s Basketball Buzz Skyrockets | The Daily Show

[@emeraldamb4771]

What happened was the state has their decision, but a group of us got enough signatures to get it on the ballot. The state had to legally allow the ballot initiative

[@xxFireFox86xx]

If people vote against the abortion ban in Florida, I can see the state gov. finding a way to argue that the ballot was somehow illegal, and that they can't approve of the results because of this, so the ban will still be in effect.

[@davidowens5898]

Now THAT'S democracy in action. And here we all thought it was on life support........

Idaho changed the rules on how to get an initiative in the ballot, making it nearly impossible (or at the least incredibly difficult).

This is exactly how Wall Street works. Buy some company like Truth Social, which is a shitload of nothing, and right before it tanks {and you KNOW it will, judging just from the losses the company had already posted}, and then sell, sell, sell, with Trump left holding the bag. For a blowhard like him bragging about how much filthy lucre he's made in the deal, then watching it all slip through his tiny, little fingers, is righteous. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

[@chuniquepaceno470]

The question isn't "why did Truth Social stock drop 21%?" the question SHOULD BE: how on earth did that silly company ever get valued at over six billion dollars?
