i am changing my price target this year from $12 to "less than $10". it hit $22 earlier, so i still think it has a long way to go.

for those of you not watching this, it had a nice rebound to $50+
it held that level to May 31st- the day that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies. in the 18 days since then, it has lost 1/3 of it's value. it is trading at around $34 this morning.
the first quarter report was absolutely horrendous. it lost $12M on less than $1M in revenue. it has $271M cash on hand, which gives them a few years to straighten it out. i suspect the stock will continue falling until at least June 27th, and probably until July 11th.

i heard a rumor that Noam Chomsky is also sick. he is another guy pushing three figures in age. edit: i read that he had a massive stroke a year ago, and fell into an unresponsive state earlier this month. so, he and Jimmy are kind of in the same boat. except Noam has his second wife by his side. ![](https://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff155/JiminiChristmas/ymamsmiles/sad.png) 2nd edit (i am not sure how accurate this is, but it is recent): His condition has improved significantly,” the paper added. “He left the ICU and is now in a regular room.” time.com/6987747/noam-chomsky-stroke-brazil/

Unanimous Supreme Court preserves access to widely used abortion medicationWASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously preserved access to a medication that was used in nearly two-thirds of all abortions in the U.S. last year, in the court’s first abortion decision since conservative justices overturned Roe v. Wade two years ago. The justices ruled that abortion opponents lacked the legal right to sue over the federal Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the medication, mifepristone, and the FDA’s subsequent actions to ease access to it. The case had threatened to restrict access to mifepristone across the country, including in states where abortion remains legal. Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote for the court that “federal courts are the wrong forum for addressing the plaintiffs’ concerns about FDA’s actions.” Kavanaugh was part of the majority to overturn Roe.The high court is separately considering another abortion case, about whether a federal law on emergency treatment at hospitals overrides state abortion bans in rare emergency cases in which a pregnant patient’s health is at serious risk. Rest of article here: Unanimous Supreme Court preserves access to widely used abortion medication i am curious. what is the RIGHT venue, given that the FDA is a federal agency? any thoughts?

I can just add that, despite the distance, I am regularly grateful that DS2 and DDIL decided they wanted to raise their kids in Europe. I know nowhere in the world is entirely safe but some are definitely far more dangerous than others. in France, the government offers a professional nanny for helping new mothers with their babies. free of charge, of course. in the US, do we even have paid maternity leave? no. we don't.

nobody will ever live up to it.
but they can all try.
and we can measure them by their failure.

If they can take away Hunter Biden’s rights to get a gun, they can take away your rights too! i will remember that while i am smoking my next load of crack. or, maybe i won't, depending on how big that load of crack is.

Trump is saying if he gets elected he’ll pardon Hunter, and shaming Biden for not pardoning his own son. Of course part of his 2025 retribution scorched earth plan is to jail the senior Biden, in payback for having Trump convicted. (Witch trial!!) good luck with that. seriously. he is just making himself look worse, and Biden, better.

this case is precisely what TRUMP is complaining about all of the time. and yet, how did Biden and the Democrats respond?

i agree that it was basically 100% demented from beginning to end.
if Biden said something like that, i would be deeply concerned.

My observations from the outside has lead me to see Christianity in general to be an al a carte menu. Yes, and it’s not static. When I was little, you couldn’t marry someone from a different race. Then it was sinful to get divorced, before everyone (including MTG) got divorced. Then it was you can’t be gay, and now it’s gay marriage and trans people who need to be publicly shamed. it always seems like they are wagging their fingers at the least threatening of us.

Seth Meyers had a great take on it.
the guy who was asked that question was being NICE when he said "I have never really thought about that before". that is how we speak to dementia patience in front of their relatives. when their relatives are out of the room, the response is "that question is silly. here is your medicine".

I can do that but Daily Beast is calling it debunked already. The article I read about it over the weekend said a ‘well known internet troll’ claimed he posted the comment and then took it down again. So my guess is the judge is trying to verify the authenticity of the comment. unlike Shawn Hannity.......

i didn't spot this in the article until i reread it today:
A lawyer for Protect Democracy declined to comment on Salem’s statement due to the ongoing case. It is unclear what impact Salem’s apology will have on the lawsuit, which is currently in the discovery phase. Separately, Salem is also suing its insurer for allegedly failing to cover the costs stemming from Andrews’ lawsuit.
i bet he is coming after Dinesh D'Souza, too. next to James O'Theif, and Bannon, he is my most hated right wing media turd.

And show me your infrastructure plan and build the wall paid for by Mexico. Then we’ll talk Ukraine. Did he also promise to have the national debt paid off by the tax cuts? Show us how the 7 trillion you ran up achieved that promise, then we'll talk. promised us 4-6% GDP growth, as well. not even sure he ever even got 1% over a quarter, and his rate was below Obama's.

i have noted a bit of stepping up on the pressure campaign from a few different directions. unfortunately, one of them is NOT the media, which continues to do things like print his stupid tic-tac comparison.

So basically the writer doesn’t believe strongly enough in her point to stand up to criticism. Noted. She’ll just check how popular someone is next time before using them as an example. I mean seriously, Dolly Parton is either right or she’s wrong in this woman’s view. Being more popular than the writer shouldn’t matter if the writer really believes what she wrote. She was just pandering to her regular audience, I think, and stepped in a pile of shit. on the contrary. if she is RIGHT, then it should make her MORE committed. after all, popular people have a big podium, and are thus VASTLY more dangerous than hacks like me. this is WHY Trump is dangerous. he has a big podium. he can instantly mobilize millions.

first you bring the healthcare plan, end the Korean War, introduce a middle class tax cut, and THEN we will take your word for it that you could end the Ukraine War. And show me your infrastructure plan and build the wall paid for by Mexico. Then we’ll talk Ukraine. exactly. Mr. "Art Of The Deal". you seem more like "Art Of The Unreal", as of now.

i keep thinking about the Mandela comparison. can you imagine what Trump would do after 27 years in prison? Mandela established a truth and reconciliation commission. he FORGAVE all of his oppressors.
but i get it. that is not leadership to Trump. leadership would be putting all of his jailers behind bars. and in Mandela's case, there would have been some justification for that, since his imprisonment was utterly unjust. but that is really not the point.
Mandela is considered a GREAT leader for that act. Trump thinks he is "not a leader".
what does that say about Trump?
i admire Mandela above any leader i have ever seen in my lifetime. i have never seen such courage, strength, wisdom and compassion in my life, and i doubt i ever will.
the only thing that distinguishes Trump is his fake sense of victim-hood and entitlement. there are few that compare to him in that way.
