Trump Media in reported talks to buy crypto trading platform Bakkt, sending shares soaring

Trump Media is in “advanced talks” to buy the cryptocurrency trading firm Bakkt, the Financial Times reported Monday, citing two people with knowledge of the talks.

The news sent shares of both companies soaring.

Trump Media, which is majority owned by President-elect Donald Trump, shot up by double digits minutes after the Financial Times report was published.

The company, which operates the Truth Social app and trades on the Nasdaq as DJT, closed more than 16% higher.

Shares of Bakkt — which was created by Intercontinental Exchange, the owner of the New York Stock Exchange — skyrocketed more than 162% amid repeated trading halts due to volatility.

Kelly Loeffler, a previous CEO of Bakkt, is the co-chair of Trump’s inauguration committee.

It goes without saying trump, if he were a prez who honored the tradition of avoiding conflicts of interest, would divest himself from his crypto and social media businesses.

You claim you have no problem with a legal defense, yet you complain about "corruption" when someone you hate defends himself legally. Why is that?

Why do you have a problem with a legal prosecution involving trump?

Ah, avoiding the conflict you posted. Quite a move there. I've already answered your question elsewhere, and I am not of the mind to needlessly repeat myself.

Please site where I said trump's defense was corrupt in this thread.

It saddens me to see the continuation of justice delayed/denied.

Georgia appeals court postpones Trump arguments Donald Trump’s criminal case in Georgia is now on hold — indefinitely. The Georgia Court of Appeals announced Monday that it has canceled arguments that were set for next month in the president-elect’s bid to kick Fulton County District Attorney...

No other prez-elect had previously been indicted by the DoJ.

And all charges dropped.

Matt Gaetz becoming AG is like Nelson Mandela becoming president of South Africa.

For each, being persecuted by the previous regime was the key qualification.

And what do all the voters in those swing states have in common? Anger over inflation. Nationally, inflation was by far the #1 most important issue Americans were concerned about.

Son, illegals allowed in this country was the #1 followed by grocery prices, affordable homes!

Of course

Their jobs and positions of power are in jeapordy

He knows enough to expose them for the obama flunkies that many of them are

 

[jc456]

No, the cult leader owns you. You kneel to his desire for dictatorship.

That makes you toady.

nope, the people own it. And the people spoke and you keep whining about it like you're not allowed to lose.

They are all unelected, and the people voted for the people Trump decides to put into the cabinet.

 

[OKTexas]

You have some strong beliefs about the laws in this country. Have they ever turned out to be right? Cuz so far you've been wrong about everything.

Yet you haven't provided a single example. GO FREAKING FIGURE!

“In just the last few days, Trump has said, if he returns office, he’s gonna go after all those who oppose him and wipe out what he called the vermin, quote, the vermin in America — a specific phrase with a specific meaning,” Biden said.

“It echoes language you heard in Nazi Germany in the '30s. And it isn’t even the first time,” he added. “Trump also recently talked about, quote, the blood of America is being poisoned. The blood of America is being poisoned. Again, it echoes the same phrases used in Nazi Germany.”

The 5th Circuit is real alright. It's just that their ruling was overturned.

The line you used, complete with emoji, trump says the equivalent of that all the time.

YOU said they weren't a real court.

His idea of American justice is the Republican is always guilty; no need for a trial, just go ahead and put 'em in prison.

Trump transition figure warns DOJ lawyers: Get on board or get out

A conservative lawyer working on Donald Trump’s transition, Mark Paoletta, offered a stark warning to career Justice Department lawyers Monday that those who refuse to advance Trump’s agenda should resign or face the possibility of being fired.

“Once the decision is made to move forward, career employees are required to implement the President’s plan,” Paoletta wrote in a post on X responding to a POLITICO story detailing widespread fear among DOJ lawyers about being asked to advance or defend policies they consider unethical or illegal.

“If these career DOJ employees won’t implement President Trump’s program in good faith, they should leave,” Paoletta said. “Those employees who engage in so-called ‘resistance’ against the duly-elected President’s lawful agenda would be subverting American democracy (or upholding it). … [t]hose that take such actions would be subject to disciplinary measures, including termination.”

Paoletta recited a laundry list of Trump goals, including mass deportations, ending birthright citizenship, issuing pardons and commutations to Jan. 6 defendants, reversing “lawfare and persecution of political opponents,” and “holding accountable those who weaponized their government authority to abuse Americans.”

Let's begin with this, trump's goal coming in to the start of his admin is to purge the government of those viewed to be disloyal. This has been well advertised.

Now consider the ACLU plans to challenge the legality of trump using the law he plans to use to facilitate mass deportations.

https://www.usmessageboard.com/threads/i-heard-an-interesting-interview-with-the-head-of-the-aclu-yesterday.1134492/#post-35690588

If members of the DoJ agree with the ACLU's position, will they be fired before the matter can be adjudicated? Because it seems to me the admin is already looking for a pretense to fire people opposed to their policies...........policies which may be illegal.

In his first admin a number of high ranking DoJ officials said they world resign if Jeff Clark was made acting AG. No such officials will be part of the new admin if trump has his way.

To be clear, if DoJ employees try to block legal and ethical policy goals firing them is appropriate.

The DOJ is an Executive Department, Simp.


The Chief Executive gets to put whoever he wants in it.
