If you look to the precedent Russia set in Chechnya I think you can feel good about the prospects of Russia/Ukraine relations long term, though it'll be grim in the early days.

Not sure why folks are cheering here unless they expect the state to use their tax dollars to take this all the way to the Supreme Court for a new precedent...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_v._Graham

The Court concluded that because "requiring the posting of the Ten Commandments in public school rooms has no secular legislative purpose," it is unconstitutional.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon_v._Kurtzman

The three parts of the Lemon test are Purpose, Effect, and Entanglement. Has LA satisfied those?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCreary_County_v._American_Civil_Liberties_Union

What is the primary purpose here? What nuance is the bill adding that it won't be shot down legally? Does this legislation give you good "feels" and make you angry when you see it questioned? If so it's likely that you're being emotionally manipulated away from things the cabal doesn't want you focused on.

Why is LA pursuing this instead of other low hanging fruit like pride or BLM flags in public spaces?

Why are LA conservatives pursuing legislation that they know will give their constituents "the feels" but will almost certainly be shut down?

Fund raising? Division? Running out the clock on real legislation? What should they have been working on that they brought this up instead?

Think. Liberals aren't the only demographic that can be emotionally manipulated.

It seems like the simplest way to get rid of the rainbow flags is a public free speech lawsuit that places a "God Hates Fags" message next to it.

Satanic Temple wins these cases all the time. Lot cheaper than vandalization and potential for a payout if the city digs in and blocks it.

Thank you fren. I always thought the nastiness that we see publicly between D and R was the worst but it doesn't even begin to compare with the internal party nastiness that is hidden from view.

The second I got involved I had an oh shit moment where I realized the problems were much deeper rooted than my skeptical self ever imagined. Just have to put my head down and work my little sector as honestly as I can tell more momentum builds.

If it's any comfort, I think enough public support is there for medical freedom that a big player like Trump can get us there even though local politicians have betrayed us.

Elon is taking X to a very good place. Pseudo anonymity seems to be the sweet spot for most of the public. Community Notes hasn't jumped the shark yet in the fact checking department.

People are learning the process of becoming the news there. Including the challenge of having to check things ourselves.

X is not a safe place for someone who wants to remain ignorant..

There are some very well-built chemo and heart related facilities in my region.

Seems like they do quite well for themselves, yet somehow more people than ever have cancer and heart problems? Confusing.

Sales of our common stock, if any, under this prospectus supplement may be made by any method permitted that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. The Sales Agent is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of shares of our common stock, but will act as our sales agent and use commercially reasonable efforts to sell on our behalf all of the shares of common stock requested to be sold by us, consistent with normal trading and sales practices of the Sales Agent, on terms mutually agreed between the Sales Agent and us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in any escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

On May 24, 2024, GameStop Corp. (the “Company) announced that it has completed its previously disclosed “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”). The Company sold the 45,000,000 shares of its common stock registered under the ATM Program for aggregate gross proceeds (before commissions and offering expenses) of approximately $933.4 million. The Company issued a press release announcing the completion of the ATM Program, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and the information in Exhibit 99.1 is incorporated herein by reference.

What I want to know is the who/what/when/where of this sale that legally had to be an "at the market offering", yet somehow landed at the commsy price of $20.741 per share?

I also think it's interesting that Jeffries is involved here as they are the firm that has that long-standing short position on deleted shares that they refuse to close.

I don't think anyone is claiming to know but the way Trump said it really stood out and so it makes sense to check the drops (even though it was a metadata hit on the photo keywords) and discuss.

"I like those teeth...I wanna find out where you did...I gotta get my teeth like that...I want that to happen to me."

There were a lot of themes of love at this event too (I don't have the timestamp but Trump lead with it in the earlier part of the speech when recounting a conversation with his event planners and him asking "Do they like more or hate me? -- They love you." kind of thing.

With love comes trust. Schedule changes can be very painful.

I read this as once you know that Trump loves this country and us you can come to trust him despite the media barrage, which is what the Bronx experienced a bit yesterday. Schedule changes refers to "the pause" and the Biden admin, which are painful but IMO very obviously white-hat controlled.

Sleepydude has teeth/fangs as:

Fang = Predator / Can Hunt - The ability to fight others outside of just defensive capabilities. Preying on other animals indicates one’s ability to use others to further your own goals. Fangs, further, also indicate action and the ability to act with initiative and make decisions on your own as an independent actor.

So Trump could be saying he wants to be let loose to hunt, or perhaps in the context of bling/grills, he wants to pursue the inner city black vote that he sees as attainable for him. Q has frequently mentioned black vote control as being critical to Democratic success.

The other story that I think is worth discussing from his speech is the story of the Levittowns.

Can't comment on the validity of what she read, but can absolutely say that high grade plausible deniability would be created if say, any one of vaccines, masking, testing, 5G weren't harmful. But somehow all of them together collectively created some serious problems..

I initially thought she was going to suggest the tests somehow affected the blood brain barrier..

He's moving us back to the constitutional position, which is the states can have differing laws until a national consensus emerges.

Once the real motivations of the abortion industry are revealed to the general public, I suspect a move will be made.
