Good morning. I hope that you enjoyed fake Spring part two. Real Spring should be arriving soon, but in the meantime, enjoy more rain. You are in Washington, it can’t be that surprising. Anyway real Spring starts about the same time as regular season baseball, so I look forward to both, eventually.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

The traded value of DWAC dropped five percent over the course of time it took for the shareholders to meet this morning and vote to approve the SPAC’s merger with Trump Media Technology Group.
The newly formed merged company will trade on the NASDAQ with the symbol DJT. The only other company to have traded publicly with that symbol was Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts, one of two companies formed by the Trump Organization during the 1990s financial collapse of his hotel and casino business. That DJT was used as a publicly held vehicle into which the private, family owned Trump Organization could transfer debt and financially insolvent properties and businesses. It lost value steadily over its history, was removed from the exchange to become a penny stock, and folded in bankruptcy in 2004.
Once again, this morning House Speaker Mike Johnson suspended the rules to rely mostly on votes from minority Democrats in order to do his job and keep the government from collapsing in insolvency.
By a 286 to 134 bipartisan vote, with the Speakers permission, Democrats passed a last minute bill to fund the government.

Ever hear the phrase, “Buy on the rumor, sell on the news.”?
That’s pretty much what has happened in the last two months.
Look at the YTD chart on DWA shares. They’re up smartly since January.
Hell, even as I write this the shares are up on the day.
Good post, asswipe. So persuasive.

The same voices made the same claims about Claudine Gay’s fraudulent scholarship after the first allegation of plagiarism.
They weren’t as loud after the second.
Softer, again, after the third.

Deafening to you is nothing more than predictable knee-jerk to the sane world.
A whistleblower has come forward with a recording of how employees at Optum Health, a division of the largest healthcare provider in the country UnitedHealthcare, were trained to go through patient histories and add codes to submissions to the government for reimbursement for previously treated conditions regardless of if treatment for the prior condition was part of the current visit.
UnitedHealthcare represents 15% of all health insurance policies in the U.S.

Hey, have we discussed the CNN polling in Michigan and in Pennsylvania?
Trump by 8 points in Michigan. Eight is a lot of legs, David.
Add in Joe Kennedy and Cornel West and he’s still up by 6 in MI.
Trump tied with Biden in Pennsylvania. Add in the others and it’s Trump up by 2 points.

Those of you who might still think that DWAC’s intraday share price movement means anything important should revisit Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit’s memorable attempted defense of GE shares on 10/20/17.
One of his defenses was that GE shares were up on the day, so shareholders clearly saw value in them.
Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit has also defended global warming using the Les Nessman “I Witness Weather” approach. He wrote that one need merely open the window and see how the planet is warming.
Entertaining, if nothing else.

What was spewed at @ 3 is so dangerously moronic it really deserves some additional response. This is partly to head off a potential “Toldja so!” should DWAC shares end up down on the day.
Shares of DWAC have spiked dramatically this year in the anticipation of what happened today. That’s the Buy on the rumor. part of the phrase I referred to above. Now, with the merger completed, it’s time to Sell on the news. There’s nothing immediately at hand to attract additional investment, so people are now taking money off the table, and shares might be pressured. It’s all normal market behavior.
Here’s a Feb 15 piece in CNBC that describes the share gains due to Trump:
POLITICS
DWAC shares soar as merger with Trump social media company appears closer
Whatever happens today, this is not a one-day event, and it’s Dumbfuckian Rabbitism to pretend otherwise.
Don’t be like Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit. Don’t let politics cause you to behave stupidly with money.
He’s in. Now we get to enjoy the latest spectacle as yet another patio set or custom bed liner fades into the ever receding distance. Hopefully this time he didn’t sell any of his income generating trust fund property like he did with TSLA.
I guess we’ll know when he can no longer afford the cable bill and has to stop posting here.
DWAC is not DJT.
There’s always a pump before there is a dump.
Trump has been laying steaming piles on this lying idiot troll for almost ten years now. He obviously enjoys the experience.
Twice as many Democratic votes as Republican votes in the House this morning for the bipartisan compromise budget bill to avoid a shutdown.
Hakim Jeffries is in charge.
The new fundraising agreement hammered out between the Trump 2024 campaign and the RNC pays off his legal bills first before giving a cut to the party and the down ballot campaigns.
The most recent FEC filings show Trump Media Technology Group posted posted a loss of $26 million in Q3 23 against total revenues of $1.1 million.
And the lying idiot troll is all in. This is going to be even more fun to watch than the TSLA debacle.
@ 15, 16
I have no skin in DWAC. Sadly, I also have no skin in Nvidia, aside from mutual funds.
The last time Trump formed a publicly traded company it was for the sole purpose of creating a place for him to dump his insolvent, indebted, over leveraged properties and businesses. And he did. Resulting in complete collapse into liquidation receivership within less than ten years.
The newly formed company created by the DWAC merger will take on all that accumulated debt from TMTG, and more. And with it so will the lying idiot troll and other gullible investors.
It’s impressive that Trump can do this shit to them right out in the open for all the world to see. And they still line up for it and beg for more.
Aww. Too late.
I broke his Etch-a-Sketch.
One of the techniques Trump The Penniless Rapist employed in the lead up to his New Jersey resort and casino insolvency was transferring of private, personal debt and other Trump Organization debt into the Atlantic City Casinos. For years leading up to the collapse Trump had been using the casino business as a personal piggy bank, shifting a mountain of personal and family debt onto the casino books and paying himself, his family, and Trump Organization leadership huge salaries and bonuses for their “work” operating the casino business, even while he was stiffing suppliiers and contractors.
As a private business owned by Trump, TMTG has been entirely opaque up until now.

None of us can recall two-term wildly popular Nobel Prize winning Democratic President Barack Obama pouring hundreds of millions of donor dollars into the pockets of white shoe law partners and strip mall mail order lawyers.
But we do recall his Hawaiian birth certificate.

Menendez is no longer a Democrat. His campaign is not a Democratic Party campaign. And he has no further access to DNC funds.
Trump’s joint fundraising agreement lets him pour all future RNC PAC money into the pockets of shithead lawyers he needs to stay out of prison and fight off bankruptcy.
None so blind as those who refuse to stop greedilly swallowing gallons of orange throat yogurt. I swear nothing in 2024 will ever be more pathetic or disgusting than seeing these gullible fools like our lying idiot troll take tiny dick in the ass from that incompetent failed television celebrity and rush to his defense whenever it’s needed. Eeewwww.
Filed under NOT HELPING:
Trump The Penniless Rapist flew into an incandescent rage at 2 am this morning on his financially insolvent micro-blogging platform to scream in a prolong series of very long (for him) all caps posts complaining about his inability to finance the civil judgement against him for a years long fraud scheme. Included among those rants was this post from 4:14 AM:
“THROUGH HARD WORK, TALENT, AND LUCK, I CURRENTLY HAVE ALMOST FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IN CASH, A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WHICH I INTENDED TO USE IN MY CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT. THE OFTEN OVERTURNED POLITICAL HACK JUDGE ON THE RIGGED AND CORRUPT A.G. CASE, WHERE I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG, KNEW THIS, WANTED TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME, AND THAT’S WHERE AND WHY HE CAME UP WITH THE SHOCKING NUMBER WHICH, COUPLED WITH HIS CRAZY INTEREST DEMAND, IS APPROXIMATELY $454,000,000. I DID NOTHING WRONG EXCEPT WIN AN ELECTION IN 2016 THAT I WASN’T EXPECTED TO WIN, DID EVEN BETTER IN 2020, AND NOW LEAD, BY A LOT, IN 2024.THIS IS COMMUNISM IN AMERICA!”
Sadness abounds among his lawyers who must now attempt to convince Judge Engoron and the NY appellate division that he’s just being a big silly and doesn’t really mean these things. But it can make it hard on a judge to grant sought after relief while the client is simultaneously decaring in all-caps rage that the very same sought after relief is completely unwarranted and not needed at all.
Apparently business “genius” can be incomprehensible to us mere mortals.

@14 You know as well as I do, and as well as any other experienced investor, that “sell on the news” doesn’t commonly result in a 13.7% intraday drop. A single-day decline of this magnitude almost always results from a change in the stock’s fundamentals, such as a huge earnings miss, or a dividend cut. I’m sorry you’re so fucked, doc, but anybody who invests in Trump deserves it.

The F-16s are coming. And they will be armed with AIM-120s and Storm Shadows (1000 lb warhead/350 miles).
These are really pretty advanced systems. Surely not as advanced as the latest gen U.S. capability. But then again, at this point whenever an F-35 appears the airspace empties out. The U.S. would never consider risking the tech even for that overwhelming capability, since at this point the F-16 armament package and coordination capability options far surpass anything Putin can put in the air. And F-16 systems can very effectively counter any ground based defense measures Putin can employ so they won’t be a that much risk once the airspace is under Ukraine’s control.
By the end of this year, even with Republicans siding with Putin and the war criminals, Ukraine will have complete control over their own airspace and be able to down nearly every airborne threat. That will leave Putin with nothing more than balistic threats he can store and employ from a safe distance. And that will eliminate targeting and really reduce the civilian carnage.
It’s gotten terrible for Ukraine since Republicans blockaded assitance for Putin. But they are weathering it so far. It will probably get realistically somewhat worse in the months ahead as the weather improves, skies clear, and Putin can more effectively employ his Disco era technology to strike at civilian targets. But the F-16s are still coming. And Putin knows it just as much as Ukraine knows it.

Here’s Why Judge Aileen Cannon’s Law Clerks Seem to Have Suddenly Quit
https://newrepublic.com/post/180070/judge-aileen-cannon-law-clerks-left
Cannon’s post-Trump office is a micromanaged, round-the-clock commitment that at times required more than 100 hours of work per week, even when Cannon herself showed up a fraction of the time.
“Generally, she treats clerks (and the entire chambers staff) very poorly and tends to get angry to the point of screaming at them and talking to them in condescending ways.”
>> If Canon had been a woman of color, you know the greedy racist incel would be coming unglued about diversity hires. So to talk like him, without the racial slurs, she’s an obvious affirmative action hire of a incompetent lazy white woman out of her depth.
US allies are expendable to my corrupt, incompetent, senile fossil of a president. Those in Kabul who helped Americans before we abandoned them in such a cowardly manner learned that right quick.
Israel knows, now. And our other allies are watching.
There are other explanations. Corruption and congenital cowardice, both of which apply to The Biden Crime Family.
Biden’s doing it for swing-state votes.
@ 55
“She frequently requires that clerks come into the office on weekends and federal holidays (including some major ones), even though she herself is there less than 1/4 of those days. And when she does require weekend or holiday work, she won’t let you know until last minute so if you bought a plane ticket, you’re out of luck,” the anonymous user continued. “Even if she doesn’t mandate weekend work in the office, the deadlines she sets are so unrealistic that 9 times out of 10 you’re going to be working on a weekend just to turn in a not-great draft by the deadline (which only contributes to more yelling and screaming for it not being polished enough).”
“Average hours worked in a week are between 80-100, with 100+ hours a week not being uncommon. It’s definitely not a clerkship to take if you have a family,” they added.
Yawn. No different than critical care or surgical residencies. Can’t hack it? Quit. No one cares until it’s time to explain why you couldn’t hack it. There’s always giving vaccinations at a doc in the box in a shitty strip mall.
Just a reminder.
Republican’s Presidential candidate is being charged with multiple felonies and has already been found to be a rapist and a fraud in civil court and will probably be bankrupt. At least two of their justices have been caught taking bribes. They are about to remove their second speaker after going through weeks of trying to fill that spot twice. Multiple State republican parties are out of cash. Republican reps are jumping ship left and right. They are running on gutting social security and making abortion illegal Nationwide.
It’s still March.
Re MTG’s filing, there’s no requirement that it be put to a vote.
Gaetz’ had to be voted on because a promise was made.
@57 in which the greedy racist incel attempts a false equivalency using a illogic to try to justify his partisan defense of her incompetence.
55,
Honestly, this is not actually exceptional for a federal district court judge. Nor is the turnover among clerks. People are just paying more attention to her because she’s an idiot and clearly in need of a well staffed and productive chambers.
And as far the “credential value” is concerned, serving a clerkship for a judge who is widely recognized to be a lazy, incompetent dipshit who places much of the work of legal research and reasoning on staff can be a big win for those who are determined to rise above her or his incompetence. It’s still her circus. She’s the Ringmaster, and she’s responsible for the conduct of proceedings and the end product of the process. But if the striped tent goes up smoothly and remains standing, the seats get filled, the scheduling (such as it is) is met, and filings are being received, processed, docketed, and noticed on time and correctly, then local practitioners will come to recognize who the clowns are that keep the circus rolling from town to town. Plenty of very highly respected and accomplished partners, judges, law school profs, and even one or two SCOTUS justices have served a season in hell.
It’s only one year. If Allen Weisselberg can do a year in Rikers for Fuck a l’Orange then anyone can manage a year for a partnership.
There is.
But filing the motion with the parliamentarian is only a preliminary formal step.
Before a floor vote must be scheduled MTG would have to read the motion into the record during normal order.
And under the current rules her earliest opportunity for such a reading can be delayed until after the scheduled recess. At which point she will have been bought off with leadership PAC spending, more gavel time, and promises of better committees maybe even a chair in the next Congress.
And this is one of the big reasons guys like Mike Gallagher are bailing out now rather than riding the burning crate full of dildos into the ground. It’s more dignified. But dignity is something our lying idiot troll and the average Trump supporter abandoned nearly a decade ago.
@ 62

It’s only one year. If Allen Weisselberg can do a year in Rikers for Fuck a l’Orange then anyone can manage a year for a partnership.
Agreed. It’s what I tell trainees at all stages. You can do a year anywhere and make it through. Sucking it up is far easier than explaining why quitting wasn’t your fault.
63,
It’s a privileged motion. Once introduced on the floor it goes to a vote within two days.
See House Rule IX. – It’s a very important rule. As regards motions to vacate the chair, the rule was effectively suspended by the Democratic majority in 2019 after the Blue Wave Wipeout, in order to avoid pointless and incessant harassment from the increasingly derranged, but weak and pitiful Republican minority. That modification is one of the very important powers that Brave Kevin was compelled to abandon in January 2023 after fifteen failures to gain election to the chair. And of course, it was also his undoing.
I let him look that one up. A dazzlingly fun way to spend his “golden years” looking up parliamentary procedure and House rules. Scinitillating shit.
Get a load of the surrender monkey @47. Are you on Putin’s payroll too, doc?
@51 Also, he has no use for internet access that blocks horse porn.
@54 Well, I think if the Dems had to go “eeny-meeny-miney-moe” between MAGA Mike and MTG …
@57 “Yawn. No different than critical care or surgical residencies.”
I gather radiology residencies are less demanding. After all, they stuck you in one.
@63 “There’s no guarantee of a floor vote.”
At the rate your party is shedding House seats, you’re probably right.
@65 “You can do a year anywhere and make it through. Sucking it up is far easier than explaining why quitting wasn’t your fault.”
Tell that to the 58,312 young men and 8 young women whose names are etched on the Vietnam Wall. You have only the vaguest conception of what “sucking it up” means.
The very best thing about MAGA Mike being forced to crawl like a dog to pacify Neaderthal Barbie is that once it happens, it’s going to unleash an inevitable series of these performances from disgruntled, MAGA turds in the House.
The House is up for grabs yet again. If they get lucky Republicans could hang on to the majority. That outcome probably seems especially likely to anyone who happens to be a MAGA turd currently serving in the House in a very safe deep-red district.
So operating on the assumption that next year MAGA Mike will face the same pointless struggle for the gavel as Brave Kevin did in the beginning of 2023, and seeing how weak and crippled he is having to grovel at the feet of a middle-school dropout like Neanderthal Barbie, and seeing her win plumb committee assignments or even a chair in only her second term, at least another dozen of them will follow suit eventually before November.
And that will produce even more early retirements. Leading to further narrowing the majority margin. Increasing the stakes and thus the leverage for any MAGA turd willing to go there. Leading to more motions to vacate the chair. etc. etc.
Hakim will be Speaker in January. If not sooner.
I warned Putin about an Isis terror attack in Russia two weeks ago.
Trump still claims that he destroyed Isis in March of 2018.
Apparently I know more about what’s going on inside Russia than that Putin guy does. And the other guy can’t even remember his own wife’s name or his own kid’s 18th birthday.
@61 Thanks. You explained the process insightfully. So it’s sort of a Devil Wears Prada analogy, if the clerk can tough it out, they will earn bankable clerk social cred.
While there are many judges like Cannon, because of the spotlight on her, her many inadequacies are on display.
Candice Owns: “I demand the end of DEI”
Daily Wire: “We agree. You are fired. ”
—
To be fair I think the Daily Wire was like “Given what she just said, our audiences no longer need a black person to bad mouth black people to feel comfortable hearing that message. They are more than comfortable hearing it from another white person now…”
@ 66
It’s a privileged motion. Once introduced on the floor it goes to a vote within two days.
Not the way it was filed. Read the pieces by AP/WSJ. None of them refer to a required vote. They all refer to her making plans for what might happen next. The motion is only privileged if it is filed on the House floor. She filed it via regular channels, so it goes to the Rules Committee.
@ 75
So it’s sort of a Devil Wears Prada analogy, if the clerk can tough it out, they will earn bankable clerk social cred.
And if they can’t, they whine about it in a public forum and The Even Bigger Fucking Moron reads it uncritically and assumes every word he reads is accurate.
Related news to The Even Bigger Fucking Moron: The country will be able to tough out the next four years, too. It’s just that no matter who wins, Queen YLB’s fucked kids and Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit will all be further behind when it’s over.
@ 61, 75
The explanation would have been insightful only if QoS McHillbilly has done a federal clerkship. Although I have no doubt the explanation is fully accurate.
You see, The Even Bigger Fucking Moron, there are those of us who expect a rough time during certain phases of our education, have said rough time handed to us, and make it through said rough time both stronger and credentialed.
And then there are life’s Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbits and Queen YLBs, who have to feign (the former) or beg for (the latter) relevance.
Sure. And Biden’s merely stuttering.
OK, OK, the article didn’t spell out the word. I took license because every single one of us knows what that Democrat POS said.
And he didn’t mean “bugaboo”. But Queen YLB will leap to her knees to insist that he did. Won’t you, girlfriend?
And he didn’t mean “bugaboo”.
We’ve seen that “other word” used here at HA..

75,
“While there are many judges like Cannon..”
I wouldn’t say there are many like Cannon. But plenty of them are shitty bosses who take satisfaction in tormenting their clerks.
Many of their clerks will go on to enjoy much more lucrative professional careers, earn a lot more money, and have bigger opportunities than a federal judge can hope for. That fucks some of them right in the brain.
For someone as young as Cannon to gun for a federal judge appointment tells us something about her. She’s pictured this for a while. She wants attention and respect. But she doesn’t want to put in decades chained to an oar. And she’s not as motivated by money. Maybe she even wants a family. She can have all that as a district court judge.
But she’ll never rise.
She will stay right where she is forever.
She will watch as younger judges with less experience are elevated. Some of them may even be former clerks. They will be discussed with admiration long after Cannon is forgotten. They will make law while she merely applies it. After a while that also fucks with some of them. That part is clichéd.
But Cannon’s stupidity is quite exceptional. That’s just probably not the reason her clerks hate working for her.
