4 days ago — Donald Trump Says He'll 'Be Involved' in Choosing Who Gets To Merge With Warner Bros. Paramount Skydance .

On Monday, Paramount Skydance, whose majority shareholders are Larry Ellison, an ardent Trump supporter, and his son, David Ellison, announced a hostile $100 billion bid. The $30 per share cash offer to purchase the entire company is financed, in part, by Affinity Partners, whose chief executive officer is Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. The familial and financial ties, plus Trump saying that the deal "could be a problem," seem to indicate that the acquisition could soon be kaput.

Until then, we have to massively expand it to get back to some semblance of normalcy, fairness and justice.

Trump has threatened to cut off federal funds to Indiana if they refuse to pass Trump's voting map. Elections are supposed to be controlled by states. So what we see here is federal government intrusion.

‘Roads Will Not Be Paved’: GOP Think Tank Says Trump Will Cut Off All Funding to Red State Unless It Passes New Map​


The GOP-aligned Heritage Foundation think tank sparked a wave of condemnation on Thursday after it posted a threat from President Donald Trump to defund Indiana if the state doesn’t pass his gerrymander.

“President Trump has made it clear to Indiana leaders: if the Indiana Senate fails to pass the map, all federal funding will be stripped from the state,” wrote Heritage Action on X, adding:


Trump has been pressuring Indiana to redraw its Congressional map to eliminate any Democrats holding seats in the state. The deep red state had previously shot down the idea in its Senate, but has since revived the effort under threats from Trump.

The Indiana legislature denied him. He is now officially a lame duck. Rats are already fleeing the sinking ship.

Well you embarrassed the OP into hiding with that one. I'm surprised the powers that be haven't capped the number of TDS threads that whacko starts each month.

Westvall has done anything because I put his silly --- on ignore. The fact is that Trump is threatening to withhold funds if a state does not redistrict to give him the chance to remain in absolute power. TDS is Trumps Deranged Supporters, which you are. So I'm not the one with TDS, that would be you.

All this slamming of your gums you're doing, you haven't challenged the premise of the current state of lopsidedness and unfairness the SCOTUS is in.

What you're choosing to argue instead, is that we should do absolutely nothing to fix it, or even try to fix it, but keep it that way.

Yeah, you're ******* stupid. And that's putting it mildly.

So he didn't actually say that, but some people claimed that he did.

Do you think that people in Indiana are ready to panic? Maybe not as gullible as some others.
