    Intimacy does not mean that both people are perfect.ย  It doesn't
    even mean that one person is perfect.ย  It means that two people
    understand that we are all wounded and we are all here to be
    healed.ย  The key to empowerment in any area is understanding
    its purpose, and the purpose of intimacy is healing.

    BREAKING: Washington Post drops bombshell on Donald Trump, reveals that Truth Social now faces a โ€œcatastrophic threatโ€ of having to pay its investors back a whopping $300 million if its merger collapses before the September 8th deadline. But it gets even WORSE for Trumpโ€ฆ If the deal fails, which industry experts say is โ€œvery likely,โ€ Donald Trump will end up with โ€œnothingโ€ in financial gain โ€” a well deserved ending for a grifter and conman.According to the Washington Post, there is a September 8 deadline for the merger to close or be extended and, should it fail, Truth Social will be forced by law to return $300 million to investors.The Washington Post says that, โ€œWith the $300 million Digital World had already raised from investors, Trump Media & Technology Group, creator of the pro-Trump social network Truth Social, pledged then that the merger would create a tech titan worth $875 million at the start and, depending on the stockโ€™s performance, up to $1.7 billion later. Now, almost two years later, the deal faces what could be a catastrophic threat."The Washington Post report continues, revealing that Truth Social has been plagued by unceremonious executive departures, credible accusations of insider trading, and even a whopping $18 million settlement over accusations that Truth Social executives lies to investors and the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Washington Post report concludes, โ€œDigital World needs 65 percent of the shares held by its nearly 400,000 investorsto vote 'yes' on the deadline extension; unvoted shares are counted as 'no' votes. If the extension fails, Digital World said in a filing in July that it would 'cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up' and repay investors at a price of about $10.24 per share โ€” far below what many shareholders paid. Trump, who would retain his 90 percent ownership of Trump Media if the deal falls apart, has yet to make mention of the shareholder vote on his own Truth Social account. Truth Social has attracted a relatively meager following. Though Trump Media projected in a 2021 investor presentation that the site would have 41 million total users by the end of this year, usage estimates suggest that it is a long way from reaching that goal."Thatโ€™s right. Truth Social is about to join a log list of Trump business failings โ€” and, once again, Trump fooled his gullible supporters into wasting their hard-earned money on yet another one of his disastrous new business ventures.

    Just heeding the call. I doubt whether they even questioned being left totally on their own to fend for themselves if their revolution fell flat. They had a billionaire as a leader โ€” what could go wrong.

    Yeah for Joe Albanese. It is what the Reps. party has worked like a dog for and I would very much like to reward them for their hard work so I will do just like Joe.

    ย ย ยทย BREAKING: Shameless Donald Trump Threw His Own SON Under The Bus During Under Oath Testimony In NY AG Fraud Case If youโ€™ve ever wondered who Trumpโ€™s favorite child is, you can pretty much guarantee itโ€™s not Eric, after the scandal-plagued ex-president threw his own kid under the bus in the worst kind of way during his under-oath testimony in New York Attorney General Letitia Jamesโ€™ $250 million civil fraud lawsuit against Trump, his children, and his family company, the Trump Organization. The infamous โ€œmiddle child syndromeโ€ hit Eric hard when his own father betrayed him under oath after prosecutors asked Trump if he was the one with โ€œultimate decision-making authorityโ€ within the Trump Organization, only for Donald to respond โ€œNo. My son Eric is much more involved with it than I am. Iโ€™ve been doing other things.โ€ The betrayal was blatant enough to pique the interest of New York Times correspondent and so-called โ€œTrump Whispererโ€ Maggie Haberman, who discussed the news on CNN and said itโ€™s โ€œnotableโ€ that the ex-president so willingly and easily threw his own flesh and blood to the wolves by โ€œmaking Eric the front person in the context of this lawsuit.โ€ Without hesitation, Donald Trump pointed the finger at his own son as the โ€œresponsible partyโ€ in his family companyโ€™s extensive fraud and corruption. Dozens of Trump insiders have long been warning that there is NO ONE Donald wouldnโ€™t throw under the bus to save himself and thatโ€™s never been more clear than it is now. Trump has finally reached such a level of despair and desperation that heโ€™s willing to throw his own children, his own flesh and blood to the wolves just to save a pound of his own skin.

    Just what else would you expect. The biggest lover of irresponsibility ever to be loose on this earth. To admit he did something wrong โ€” such an ago crusher so extreme problems for Trump have to have extreme measures. Enjoy the smell of dirt and baked on oil and brake fluid under that bus Eric.

    Dh hates how often people around here speak in favor of DT. He does not engage in the conversation, staying silent. Today he had enough. He was at the pool and another frequent pool-goer guy made a favorable DT comment, and dh calmly and firmly said, โ€œTrumpโ€™s a dick. Heโ€™s a dick.โ€ and he said, โ€œall the stuff that comes out of Trumpโ€™s mouth and the way he was complicit in the attack on the Capital, heโ€™s a dickโ€. Dh said a few more things about how he did not like Trump.

    Well, I wasnโ€™t there. Calling Trump a dick is the strongest word dh will use in public, but I was proud of him for finally speaking up. He said the other guy was surprised but did not argue. I told dh he needs to speak up like that more often.

    Good for your Dh, Divine. For a variety of reasons many of us get stuck having to listen to things we know are NOT the case at all about Trump. Just yesterday my bil said that Trump was a nice man. My Dh was talking to him at the time and basically let him get away with it.

    I would have said, if that is your idea of a nice man, then all the people I know are horrible lousy people w/o any redeeming qualities and your one of them. Nice men don't talk about injecting bleach because they've let so many people die they feel they have to do or say something. Nice people don't start and condone insurrections. Nice men don't con people out of money to pay for their legal fees and nice men don't throw their kids under the bus to save themselves. But if you want to think that Trump is nice โ€” go ahead but do me the favor of never saying a stupid thing like that around me again.

    Chances for heroic giving are rare, yet every day there are opportunities to give a part of yourself to someone who needs it. It may be no more than a kind word or a letter written at the right time. The important thing about any gift is the amount of yourself you put into it. Arline Boucher and John Tehan

    Even though I don't have much sympathy for this one it is rather sad that anyone fell THAT far.
