Trump selling the presidency. He stuns oil executives by demanding they give him $1 billion for his campaign, in exchange for a “deal” to lower their taxes and eliminate regulations on them if he’s re-elected.

The idea that Biden refusing to back a Rafah operation incentivizes Hamas to hold out only makes sense if Netanyahu was telling Hamas 'take a hostage deal or we will invade Rafah.' It's not. He's saying 'we are going into Rafah no matter if there is a deal or not.'

Tesla 8. Denholm, the board chair, says Tesla stockholders should give Musk $50 billion so Musk 'will continue to be driven to innovate and drive growth at Tesla.'

Musk has already made clear that restoring his $50 billion pay package isn't enough to keep him interested in Tesla. Musk…

Tesla 7. Tesla's future prospects are also much less rosy than three years ago. Global demand for electric vehicles is slowing, and Tesla faces increased competition from nearly every global automaker. Tesla's core vehicle lineup is dated. And its one new entrant, the CyberTruck, has…

Tesla 6. The 2018 package required Musk to meet ambitious growth and profitability targets. Essentially, Musk was awarded 1% of the company each time the company's value increased by $50 billion up to $650 billion.

But the company's shares peaked in 2021 and are down nearly 60% from…

Tesla 4. Now, the Tesla board has created a dedicated website to encourage shareholders to give Musk $50 billion for work he's already done.

Originally, the pay package was supposed to incentivize Musk to work hard for the company. This never made much sense since Musk, at the time,…

Tesla 3. The board didn't negotiate with Musk in 2018. Musk proposed the amount and structure of his pay, and the board approved it.

The 'independent board' included longtime pals, business partners, and vacation buddies.

Another key figure was Tesla General Counsel Todd Maron,…

2. A judge found Tesla's board breached its fiduciary duty to shareholders in 2018 by granting Musk excessive compensation & failing to be transparent

1. Tesla is a publicly traded company, not Elon Musk's personal piggybank

But Musk has constructed a board of directors, including his brother and many of his closest friends, who are willing to do whatever he wants

Not sure that this qualifies as straight talk — but we finally got some answers on what RFK Jr thinks his chief qualifications for President are, and how many states he’s actually on the ballot and it’s 🤦🏽

At the mid-afternoon break, Trump asked Judge Merchan to read his big stack of articles from Tom Fitton, Jonathan Turley, Mark Levin & others that the case should be dismissed. The judge refused. Updated story on today … meidastouch.com/news/trump-tri…

Is there a plumber in the house?

Yes. Yes there is.

#StormyDaniels Republican National Convention 'Tara Reade' Aileen Cannon Turley 'Anderson Cooper' 'Morning Joe' Rick Scott

The only thing Ronny knows about what is happening in this trial comes from the law firm of Trump, Turley & Fitton.

This morning, Trump showed up and his message was simplistic - that the case should be dismissed - but the point I want to make is that he read it off a piece of paper (a quote from Turley). THIS is germane.
People, especially the MSM, need to pay better attention. The man is…

Trump showed up in court this morning and read another Jonathan Turley article that the case should be dismissed.

Judge Aileen Cannon setting NO trial date for Trump is institutional insanity. Time to roll up our sleeves & file “Complaint of Judicial Misconduct” forms, available at uscourts.gov.
I’ll walk you through the process on today’s #JusticeMatters video.

Katie's Sidebar:

So much wasted time on Cross of Stormy by the defense. All they had to do was try to create some questions about her credibility about whether the underlying sexual encounter occurred; show that she did not have direct contact with Trump about the payment; show…

Why is Trump's bodyguard getting FedEx'ed (to his personal address) the unsigned checks from the Trump Organization to reimburse Michael Cohen???
