War On Easter 2024
Just a couple of Fake News stories on this holy day to Christians (and Catholics, separated out by TFG’s campaign spokesperson). The egg art drama is one thing, ho hum, but the better is the OUTRAGE that Joe Biden would rise up to proclaim Easter Sunday as Trans Visibility Day. The enlightened followers of Fox, Newsmax and TFG are all abuzz, but seem to be missing critical facts. Such as, Trans Visibility Day was designated in 2009. It was not Easter, however, most of us know that Easter Sunday moves around. We seemed to have gotten through 2013 okay when the two coincided. Good thing we don’t have to worry about it again until 2084.
For giggles, I checked out a website that lists all holidays on a date. You might be surprised to know March 31 is also:
National Crayon Day, Cesar Chavez Day, National Baked Ham with Pineapple Day, Dance Marathon Day, Hug a Medievalist Day, National Farm Workers Day, National Tater Day (!), Bunsen Burner Day (for you lab rats out there), She’s Funny That Way Day (honoring funny ladies), and my favorite Clams on the Half Shell Day. Who knew?
So enjoy your Ham with Pineapple, Happy March 31st!
Is Senator Tuberville involved in National Tater Day celebrations?
1Fenway Fran, I’d rather celebrate Pineapple Upside Down Cake Day, which I found on another list of celebrations on March 31. Ham with Pineapple is good, but not as good as my celebration of choice.
2Where can I find a Medievalist to hug?
3Thanks for the data. It is appreciated. Happy Easter!@
4So appreciate all the good stuff I learn here at the WMDBS. Just finished our Easter Dinner and must say, my daughter made the most delicious scalloped potatoes I’ve had in 73 years! Next up, strawberry shortcake with whipped cream.
5Here’s celebrating everything except an 80+ indicted felon. He
I’ll have pineapple on anything, even tatertots.
.
As far as ‘War’ and things that go boom:
Most of you around the WMDBS probably never even hear gunshots in your neighborhoods.
In my neighborhood deep in a rural red county, gunshots have always been part of the background noise.
But especially the last few years, those gunshots are overpowered by fairly often sounds of explosives [sometimes heavy explosions]. Serious detonations.
Yeah, all around here, some neighbors often set off various explosive devices, ANFO, dynamite, nitro, etc. *
Just good ‘ol boys and gals enjoying practicing blowing up [so far imaginary] libruls and such undesirables.
Just imagine such goings on in your neighborhoods, it would undoubtedly freak y’all out to hear a major explosive event disturb your peace and quiet, right? Just ‘normal’ around here.
Most of y’all still have no clue as to the very likely coming Civil War II. Are you ready for what’s probably coming?
Pay attention…
Suggest that y’all arm and at least have some rudimentary training, you may be faced with ‘kill or be killed’ before you know it.
GOTV, Blue all the way…
* Yeah, I’m an explosives expert, know what’s happening quite well. Don’t doubt that some of them even get hold of plastiques too.

6And in other news:
Dump’s recent ‘IPO’ offering for his NASDAQ listed “DJT” [symbol] stock for the TMTG corp. continues to crater.
After closing last Thursday at $61.96 -4.26 (-6.43%), it continued to fall in after hours trading to $60.45.
In pre-session trading today it’s sinking even further:

Bid: $59.28 x 900

Just yesterday I heard some TV types BSing about how DJT stock was on a ‘meteoric’ upswing, when it in fact had been cratering.
This morning it’s really sinking fast, don’t remember if it’s lower than it’s opening price last Tuesday, but it’s really going down the tubes:

It’s about #3 on the whole NASDAQ ‘Most Declined’ market list.
The market’s only been open almost 1 1/2 hours, and the volume on DJT is very heavy. Bet that they shut the trading down on it before long.
Scroll down this page for the precipitous chart falloff graph:
https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/djt
9The bottom keeps falling on DJT.
Extremely heavy volume, more than a million and a half more shares traded in 2 1/2 hours than the average daily volume of 6.3million.
Quite a few big blocks moving [1.5K to 7K+ shares per trade], maybe Komrade Donnei’s trying to get buddies to prop it up? Heavy number of mid-siz trades too, 100-600, might be ‘Truth Social’ faithful trying to help out.
They’re all losing their asses.

IOW, DJT has lost over a Billion dollars in market cap in around three hours this morning, aprx 1/6 of its’ total…
They seem to have just issued warrants today too, they’re tanking too.
[supposedly KD ‘owns’ a big chunk of the total, on paper; he’s probably getting desperate, it wasn’t supposed to work this way…TFB]

KDonnei is LosingHisAss..
14Fran, as expected, the local snoozepaper (The Oregonian) this morning ran the huuge story about Joe Biden saying on Friday that it was also Trans Visibility Day on March 31. The story was from the Associated (uninformed) Press, so likely appeared in many newspapers. 99.99% of it was the outrage coming out from every right wing big mouth politician and Christian conservatives. The tone was “and rightly so.” They did mention Joe attended Easter Mass. Imagine trumpf was peddling bibles in front of a church. No mention of the fact that Trans Visibility Day started in 2009 like you pointed out.
15Typical media giving the right wing nuts a megaphone for their message of outrage.
@Sandridge: Great info! A fun read. Please keep us apprised of this ongoing disaster for the Orange Defendant!
16BarbinDC @15, The 3 main stock index markets [DJIA, S&P, NASDAQ] have been off very slightly today, less than 0.20%.
DJT is one of very few stocks to be losing 20-27% today.
It’s been as much as $2billion down today [and Donnei ‘owns’ ~58% of it, on paper, he hasn’t actually invested a nickel in it]. Saw one guru state that the DJT stock is virtually worthless and will be valued ~$2 per share before long.
It’s still being barely propped up by the MAGAot faithful, but it’s going to be fun watching how much pain that they can stand clinging to this major loser.

17Down 24% right now after trumpf media disclosed it lost $60 million last year. Still 2 more hours to lose.
18Steve from Beaverton @17, It hit 27% off earlier today. I expect that it’ll close ~25-30% off at end of trading.
Tomorrows opening should be very interesting…
There’s been a huge trading volume in it today, given it’s ‘small issue’ status.
Would be fun to know where all the interest is coming from.
I suspect that the MAGAots are getting pumped pretty heavily over on Truth Social to help it out. They’re going to lose their asses.
19There seem to be a lot of very small transactions in it, so they’re probably spending their SS checks on it.
Gonna be a lot of very hungry MAGAots by the end of the month, heheh…, blew their food money on DJT stock. Oh well, it is April Fools Day today.
@Sandridge: so there’s no evidence of big players buying in to prop up the stock? No Saudis or Russian oligarchs?
20Sandridge, thanks for all your information. Yes, April fools day is taking on a whole new meaning- it’s no joke maga fools. Of course wearing their gold tennies, thumping their real trumpf bible while driving their big diesel pickups with hijacked American flags, they’re fools every day, and since this is a leap year they got an extra day.
21BarbinDC @19, I’ve actually seen quite a few big blocks traded too, 1K-8K share bid/asks, interleaved with the 1&2 share trades.
Those blocks would take pretty big players. Watch the link that I posted for a while.
So there are also some big players in the mix.
Given the odd trading parameters of this DJT stock today, I think that there will be some very interesting analyses coming out soon.
22The whole thing is muy squirrelly.
Of course it’s a total scam, but scads of MAGAots are biting on it, along with the probably foreign big money actors infusing Komrade Donnei with cash.
Elon Musk- this “investment” would be right up his alley.
23Sandridge, don’t overlook the possibility that the smart big players first sold short at around $60 and later bought back at around $45 — thus reaping a huge profit while the stock is plunging.
The stock market has more than one way to screw you over.

slipstream @23, Shorting the DJT stock isn’t possible for some time yet. Since it’s a ‘new issue’ stock, sort of an ‘IPO’ [it’s complicated], NASDAQ has rules preventing actual shorts on it.
IIRC, the newly merged issue opened at around $50 per share, last Tuesday. It had a little spike for a couple of days, then hit the skids on Thursday, the last day of trading last week, including sinking further in after hours trading ending at 8PM.
It started down in pre-session trading early this morning, and continued down at the market open at 9AM.
Today’s trading ended at:
Common Stock (DJT) Nasdaq Listed
$48.66 -13.30 (-21.47%)
CLOSED AT APR 1, 2024 4:00 PM ET
After hours session continues :
$48.58 -0.08 (-0.16%)

Volume: 17,615,814
APR 1, 2024 4:01 PM ET
https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/djt
But the afterhours session will go until 8PM, in which it could sink a bunch more. Which is where tomorrows opening will begin with.
25Down to $47.85 now…
“a little spike”, IOW, a “dead cat bounce”..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_cat_bounce
“In finance, a dead cat bounce is a small, brief recovery in the price of a declining stock.[1]
Derived from the idea that “even a dead cat will bounce if it falls from a great height”,[2] the phrase is also popularly applied to any case where a subject experiences a brief resurgence during or following a severe decline. This may also be known as a “sucker rally”.[3]…”
“”This applies to stocks or commodities that have gone into free-fall descent and then rallied briefly. If you threw a dead cat off a 50-story building, it might bounce when it hit the sidewalk. But don’t confuse that bounce with renewed life. It is still a dead cat…”
26Sandridge,
My first thoughts were that Trump was liquidating some of the 60-70 percent of the company that he owns. Except, he is locked out of selling any shares until the end of September. Hopefully, this thing steadily drops to the point that they need to do a 10:1 reverse split just to keep it listed by the time he is able to sell.
27Do you know who wouldn’t be buying this dog? Nancy Pelosi.
The illustrious ‘DJT’ stock finished the session trading day as a ‘market leader’, in third and fifth place, just not in the direction that the MAGAots were counting on.

29How many of y’all have a temperature of 92°F, a Dewpoint of 76°F, and a Heat Index of 103°F in your front yards. That’s what my PWS is reading right now.
Laredo was supposed to reach 103°F today, looks like they’re not going to make it, only 96°F now.
30Sandridge,
Thanks for your updates. There was some news on the stock today, income and losses were underreported. I enjoyed this tidbit which should surprise no one:
“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.”
31If losses were underreported, then what income could there be. Sure seems like a scam that could come back to put trumpf and friends in even more legal trouble. Hard to believe any of those fronting money to close the sale in the first place did any due diligence. Same with large investors in the stock so far. They deserve to lose their asses along with any magats that have purchased stock already. Yup, fools and their money.
32Who says that drumft bought the shares in his name?
🙂 Legal trouble? They seem to thrive, keeping their names in the forefront of everyones mind.
Vaughn Meader once told me “There’s no such thing as bad ink.”
33I’ve only had ink on my birthday and wedding day so I agreed.
Sandridge @ 24
you are the second person I have seen claim DJT cannot shorted. Yet Fidelity reports short interest as 3%.
As of early Wednesday, DJT is up in a falling market. Means nothing. Such swings are usual for such an issue.
As a business, DJT is worth less than nothing. The stock will eventually be worth zero, but it might be a wild ride getting there.
34Here’s another gem dropped by their accounting firm. I like the term “a going concern”:
“The filing includes a note from an independent accounting firm, Colorado-based BF Borgers CPA PC, warning that Trump Media’s “operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.” In a separate filing Monday, Trump Media cited the auditor’s analysis in describing the risks facing the business. Borgers has worked with Trump Media since 2022.”
35Also, March 31 will always be special to me because on that day in 1968, I saw Cream play at the Houston Music Hall. Then I got home and saw that LBJ had announced he would not seek re-election. Golden memories.
36I see that trumpf’s media company rebounded down (-5.4%) today. I also read that two of the investors that helped with the purchase of trumpf media have been caught red haywith insider trading. Expect more legal problems for all of them including trumpf. Oh boo hoo.
37@Steve from Beaverton: I saw this about the screwiness surrounding this rotten deal. Can we hope that the Orange Defendant will wind up with exactly nothing out of all this? He put that much into it, after all. Plus, the bond that was put up in NY doesn’t seem to be passing muster. Hee Hee!
38DJT stock took another hit today in the regular session.
I’m beginning to suspect that certain actors are attempting to manipulate the perception of, and actual market pricing, of the DJT stock in the pre- and after-market sessions [0430-0930h; 1600-2000h] though.
Relatively smaller players won’t have much influence in the regular trading sessions. But due to the much lower share volumes in the extra sessions they can exert a much larger influence. This can/will have some effects on the regular sessions, while also affecting general public opinion, if only briefly.
No degree of manipulation is beyond these SOBs.
Does anybody around here know of any websites that monitor places like Truth Social, Newsmax, OAN, etc,. to tell if or what might the propaganda regarding DJT stock might be?
I’m very familiar with the Fox Nooz monitoring website “Newshounds.us”, having followed it for decades; so that one is covered.

I have to admit I’m not an expert on the stock market though I follow it several times a day. It’s my retirement and legacy for my kids. I have an excellent investment advisor that I leave much of it to. I do know enough to say with confidence, any “new” stock offering with the stinkiness of the DJT offering would tank quickly without some malfeasance going on. It’s a matter of time. If it smells shitty, it’s probably shitty. No it is shitty.
