The king of manipulating Wall Street shorts is Citadel founder Ken Griffin.
The Wall Street hedge fund billionaire has made most of his money betting against Main Street stocks and then manipulating their downfall to reap the rewards.
Griffin is despised by small investors, especially the Reddit WallStreetBets group who went head-to-head against the titan in the Gamestop and Robinhood story {backstory}. Recently Griffin moved his financial HQ from Chicago to Miami after giving Florida governor Ron DeSantis $10 million for his reelection effort.
Bloomberg News reported earlier today that Ken Griffin has said he is open to taking the position of U.S. Treasury Secretary after he is successful installing Ron DeSantis as the 2024 presidential winner.
[New York] – […] Griffin also revealed that he would be open to serving as Treasury secretary in a Ron DeSantis administration if the GOP governor of Florida decides to make a bid for the White House in 2024.
He told Bloomberg that he “will definitely be involved in the presidential race” and that he would consider moving to Washington, DC, if called upon to do so by a Republican president. (link)
There are trillions at stake…
That looks bad, but I wonder something: Has DeSantis offered him the job? Does DeSantis want him as Treasury Secretary?
$10,000,000 reasons why DeSantis is in little position to say, no.
Why, can he ask for a refund? 😉
It is pretty common for big donors to be named Ambassador to somewhere. I don’t know the going rate for a cabinet position.
$10 Million I’d say.
Touché
DeSantis had no business even considering your question. This is Trump’s party. Ron can take a hike.
Amen Brother Jaeger.
DeSantis hides when it comes to such denials.
Not a good look for a “straight talkin” guy. Unless your just another phony pol.
Deny what? A hypothetical?
How much did FKG “invest” in Dominion?
Asking for a friend.
My friend wants to know if that is why DeSantis still has Dominion and ERIC in FL?
Curious question as to why the machines are still in place…as SD has written, DeSantis has only focused on social issues to keep the people satiated. I have my parallel thoughts!
I remember a couple weeks ago a reporter asked Kari Lake if she was interested in being Trumps VP. She tore the bloom straight off and put it to rest, I am running for governor of AZ. Not looking for anything else. Have we heard such from DeSantis?
Didn’t think so. Vote splitting.
This is definitely what the “Bad Guys” want. It is the Trump/DeSantis “wedge”. I am a Trump MAGA guy for a number of reasons. One of the main reasons is “competency”. Who else has the experience, competence and desire to make America great than Donald Trump. Trump cannot be bought. To me the whole thing is a no brainer and I don’t care how he combs his hair.
Only a true Patriot with the courage of the Framers could withstand the persecution the Left has subjected President Trump to. He is the man of this era which is why the Left fears & hates him.
Thank God for him.
Just because that is what the uniparty wants for a hail Mary pass, does not mean it will happen. DeSantis has said he would not run, if Trump is running. I believe him. I think Trump’s support is so solid that DeSantis is unlikely to split the ticket, if he attempts to run. I think a 2028 run is DeSantis’s to lose. Candidates Trump supports have won all kinds of political and apolitical positions in elections across the country. The GOP voters are 70-80% behind Trump and his MAGA policies. The Never Trumpers will have to find a new party in November.
Kari Lake seems very promising as a real supporter of this Republic & has my vote.
She speaks clearly; no double-talk or orations to “Yes/ No” questions.
Sundance, in his memo a couple of days ago, asked that we stop using acronyms. I agree with that.
IMO. if you use an acronym, you need to also state what it means. Perhaps you didn’t read his message??
What is FKG???
Might wanna give Robin a pass if you think about it a bit.
Hint: FJB
Ken Griffin’s initials are KG. Get it?
Re “Sundance, in his memo a couple of days ago, asked that we stop using acronyms. I agree with that.
IMO…”
Uh… Isn’t IMO an acronym? Oh yeah… It’s the acronym for International Maritime Organization!
Sorry, ROTFLMBO… Da debil made me say dat…
OM I am still ROFL….
IMO ?
Practice what we preach much ?
oh please
Wow, I dearly hope people wake-up and realize it’s these big donors and politicians of both parties that are the problem.
I’ve always said, and still believe, 75% of people want the same thing: to live and be left alone so they can provide for their families.
I don’t want this clown anywhere in government just as much as a Biden “voter”.
Gotta hand it to the politicians, they are very good at creating A or B choices that allow them to do C, D, E, etc. while everyone is enraged with a fight over A or B that will actually never get addressed.
I am old enough to remember when both Parties agreed PAC= People Are Corporations around ’09. It was full steam fascism from there on in.
The illusion of two choices…this is the question. First…it is one choice. No choice…vote for the same.
I have a daily conversation with a friend of mine, and we both discussed the Republican and Democrat Parties tonight.
Neither are legal entities for voting. Ever, anywhere. Primaries, local, State or Federal elections.
Now…what to do?
Almost 50% of Congress are Lawyers…and 100% of the ‘Installed’ President and VP are Lawyers……That’s the problem….
There was a time when Shysters could not serve in government because of their allegiance to the British accreditation registry
B.A.R
And they all say it’s not true
Because it isn’t. Stop spreading libel. My oath as an attorney was to uphold the Florida and US Constitutions. I swore no allegiance to anything from any other nation.
Money does not corrupt, it is the persons moral and legal attitude that allows him to be corrupted, it’s how one is raised by his parents, his teachings in Christ, etc, etc,…. Is Ron Desantis corruptible???? Ken Griffin makes money by betting against the stock market, it sounds like he is betting against Desantis with these remarks!!! One way to get the money out of politics is by allowing only the voters in his district, state, or US(if running for US position) to give to his campaign the allowable amount.
You can tell a great deal about a person by the company they keep.
Sorry, I thought there were limits on contributions from individuals. How did this guy circumvent those limits?
I read here at the Treehouse that Florida doesn’t have that rule. At the national level there are limits, apparently not in Florida.
PACS.
Billionaire Tom Steyer poured big money into Andrew Gillum’s 2018 Florida Governor run.
Hee hee!
That sure was a waste of money.
That depends on if and where Gillum forwarded any of that money…….
I don’t remember reading of anyone who followed up and checked on that.
Only for it to be “blown” on male porn prostitutes and and drugs.
How generous of him to want to help his country and guide it away from a financial cliff of overspending and profiteering by insiders while helping everyone to achieve financial security and freedom to enjoy all this country offers. /sarc
As we say in my house, GFAD – go f a duck. We aren’t sure what we have against ducks but we laugh when we say it.
Rather presumptuous… I wonder why the public preening now?
👉Because he’s letting his competition know he’s the front runner pulling Governor Ron DeSantis strings. 👈
✅️ Any other String pulling front runners are going to have to outbid him for the Treasury Secretary.
😉”We have $10 million do we have another bid…”
DeSantis should call Barrett-Jackson and see what they could set up for him.
Show of hands, who didn’t see this coming…?
Its just so repulsive.
Cause they are dumb
Part of the anti-MAGA propaganda: Act like DeSantis is already running.
Ego. Pure and simple. Pride, arrogance, ego. Can be powerful if channeled into positive endeavors primarily to benefit the country, but 99% of the time those character dimensions only manifest in self-aggrandizement.
Exactly 💯
“Next…”
de-santi-s will get the XX, that is his brand.
I never trusted anyone who could be purchased.
Decent people get just reward for sweat and toil. DeSantis is not decent.
Perhaps I allow my emotions to override what should be political psychopathy, but I can sleep at night.
BS. I like DeSantis. He is my governor and I am voting for him again. Trump will not run, Get used to it
DeSantis is the guy that has said over and over he has no interest in the 2024 Presidential election. President Trump will run
I wonder if this Griffin guy knew when he gave RDS $10,000,000 that RDS wasn’t running for president. (snort, yeah right). HE sure thinks that Ron in running. He bet $10,000,000 on it.
Seems prudent to me to have a back up. DeSantis could fill in if something happened to President Trump. President Trump brought Dr. Carson into his administration after Dr. Carson ran against him in 2016. Why is it now so suddenly strange that another Republican might run against President Trump? Maybe President Trump would choose DeSantis for a vice president after a 2024 campaign? If the RINO types fall in love with DeSantis and President Trump chooses him as a VP, I’d think that would encourage RINO types to fund or campaign for President Trump.
President Trump is my 1st choice for POTUS but people do die unexpectedly and maybe a DeSantis/Lake ticket could work?
I noticed the last sentence visible above before the link has Griffin saying he’d work for a Republican president. Isn’t President Trump a Republican?
Trump and DeSantis are both Floridians. They cannot be on the same national ticket.
It’s not illegal but it is a bad idea. President Trump could change his residence to another State just as he did a year or so ago. Dick Cheney changed his residence from Texas to Wyoming when he ran with George W. Bush.
https://www.history.com/news/can-the-president-and-vice-president-be-from-the-same-state
I recommend a bit of back reading on sundance’s recent articles on DeSantis.
I read them all and my eyes are wide open. Sundance is not infallible though.
apparently, neither are you lol
Maybe you’ve missed President Trump’s rallies. He sure sounds like he’s going to run. With all due respect, get used to it.
“Send in the clowns”……… and you answered the call.
DeSantis is good in lots of ways…….. hope he wins the governors race. But, DeSantis is NOT MAGA. Voted for TPP after receiving $$$$ for his congressional campaign. (just one of many examples)
And if Trump does run?
I haven’t had time to keep up on CTH since it was “cracking” the Russian collusion fallacy, but I don’t understand the DeSantis hate. What has occurred in Florida that has given Treepers the vapors and suggests bigger and worse outcomes should be become president.
“I haven’t had time to keep up on CTH”
That’s why you don’t understand the current DeSantis dynamic. Sundance has exposed DeSantis’ fealty to the Uniparty Swamp machine.
After Gov. DeSantis’ anemic response to the Mar-a-Lago FBI raid on August 8th, followed by a week+ of dead silence on the matter, DeSantis then surfaced, promoting GOP candidates in a few other states and went on record receiving $200M in donations from big corporate anti-Trump elites.
Sundance waited until these facts were on the record, and reported that a careful analysis of all of DeSantis’ pronouncements, speeches, and actions revealed a gaping absence of the FL governor’s support for Trump in 2024 or a true, complete MAGA agenda of his own. Turns out DeS has chosen the Uniparty / Establishment for support while trying to appear MAGA-ultra-lite, or MAGA illusion-only.
He’s doing fine in FL but could have done a lot more to prevent corruption (such as get rid of Dominion machines which he hasn’t even mentioned.).
Those are the basics in a nutshell.
All the property insurance companies are leaving Florida as fast as they can. Ron DeSantis should be trying to solve that pressing issue. People in Florida will soon be unable to obtain insurance for their property and that is going to be a nightmare for everyone who owns a home here. It is already skyrocketing and soon to get much worse.
Wow. Not good for homeowners at all. What’s driving out the insurers?
Good summary.
Not to mention the cringeworthy ad in which DeSantis was presented as “Top Gov.” Ick. One could easily see he is now being groomed by the UniParty. It was the furthest away from a real-person message as anyone could possibly get.
(And, for a real-person message – just look at the one John Gibbs did with his mama this week…)
P.S. Right at the time sundance presented his arguments on this issue, I started getting all sorts of begging messages from Ron in my email where there had been none before. They have all the same flavor as all the garbage from all the other PAC mailings – and they all go straight to delete. (My donations, by check, go directly to candidates I’ve studied and chosen. I never respond to begging online.)
And never never never does Ron mention President Trump.
Yes! I fret about the Top Gov ad – on par with the helmeted Michael Dukakis standing in a tank.
I also started getting emails “from” Ron DeSantis begging for dollars. I classified them all as Junk and deleted all of them.
Dream on Casper!
Then who will be our Governor? Afte you vote for DeSantis and he starts campaigning for President the very next day? He is lost to us now. And should step down now and let the real candidate run for Governor 2022.
Do you see the dishonesty?
I hope that doesn’t happen and he stays in FL where he’s doing a good job.
I also got a good kick out of the Vineyard stunt. It was a stunt but I also think it opened plenty of eyes….
How do you know President Trump will not run? BS
He’s my governor too and his avarice disgusts me. DEAL WITH IT
Spoken like a true loser.
Precisely why the real President Trump was despised. He was beholden to no one. Donors to politicians, money talks. bs walks.
Unfortunately that limits candidates to multi-billionaires then. Running for president has become a very expensive proposition especially when you have to overcome the corrupt Media bias. As long as all the cards are on the table and you know where the money is coming from you can make an informed decision so long as they decide to hold a free and fair election.
Not necessarily. There are candidates popping up who are doing quite well so far with a fraction of the $$.
A great proportion of the electorate is starting to pay attention and to Follow the $$. This is a piece of the puzzle that we all need to educate widely upon whenever we get the opportunity.
One does not just invest $10,000,000 to secure a cabinet level position without particular plans of benefitting from it.
Don’t forget, Mnuchin was a Goldman Sachs guy.
And we now know that Jeffrey Epstein was connected to Bear Stearns. Hmmm…wonder what happened there?
https://nypost.com/2018/11/28/pedophile-millionaire-dodged-harsh-sentence-by-ratting-out-bear-stearns-execs/
Do you think this happened?
Alan ‘Ace’ Greenberg, Warren Spector
I want to know who Ghislaine’s customers were, don’t you?
Yes. Closely held secret! Wexner?
https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/money-and-power/a28350600/jeffrey-epstein-les-wexner-connection-money/
Mnuchin was one of the best, professional picks for a cabinet postition Trump made and if Trump does run again and wins, I hope he taps him a second time for Treasury Secretary.
Mnuchin was a good guy, never involved in any controversy, always loyal to Trump and he knew without a doubt what he was doing.
One of the best Treasury Secretaries I can think of in the modern era.
Right! Yet we need more of the same rich Wall Street bankers/Goldman Sachs types, cuz, ya know, labels/generalizations only apply when it fits our narrative!
How about none of those associated with Big Banks or Wall Street? Surely there’s suitable talent enough on Main Street.
Oh… that’s the point. It’s all about Wall Street and not Main Street.
Having a novice in some positions is like putting a chiwawa in charge of guarding the hen house. The issue is the persons character and motivations.
You have a better idea then to continue trusting that the same sorts responsible for creating the problems are going to fix the problems that they were responsible for, with rare exceptions?
Yes! And furthermore…Yes!
Guess you didn’t get both the sarcasm and the point that many in 45’s admin came from Wall Street and big, big, big corporate America.
It’s what it has always been about: integrity, courage, trustworthiness. Find quality people.
^^This.^^
If I’m not mistaken, I think Bannon worked at Goldman Sachs at some early point.
Now they fear him and his mega-MAGA audience.
I think his point may have been to suggest that the DeSantis skeptics feel Trump is the only path, but yet had an evil Wall Street crony in his cabinet.
Sure, I’ve got that.
What are the odds we can find more like Mnuchin in those circles? I don’t like those odds.
As some like to say, where’s your data?
In some respects, you are doing precisely what the left does – judging someone by circumstances and not firm knowledge of their character, integrity, courage, personal knowledge, etc. Quality people can be found anywhere. It takes time, resources, judgment, research, skillful interviewing, resume verification, etc. And taking responsibility for failures and successes (i.e., developing a complimentary set of heuristics)
I cannot say I’m not cynical in many things given life experiences.
It also takes unique talent to identify those diamonds in the rough.
Possible sure, but trust has to be earned first. Its not a given for me.
Mnuchin was one of a kind, straight talking no bull@#$%, and knew what he was doing.
Extremely smart, when came to anything dealing with financials, no one could even debate him.
Secretary Mnuchin sure made Mad Maxine have a meltdown. That is a good thing!
Smart man here. Whether he agrees or not.
He is a good job. Sorry you don’t accept that.
When Ross Perot was running for POTUS, a modestly successful friend said: “I don’t want a President who can be bought off with a trip to the Caribbean … I want someone who has traveled the world and can’t be bought off.” Only PDJT can’t be bought off to sell America’s core.
Look at our recent history.
– Perot had the MSM and UniParty unload on him.
– The GOP took out the Tea Party.
– The Democrats took out Bernie Sanders.
– The Democrats, Dominion, FIB, DOJ, MSM & Fox News took out President Trump.
Now I wonder, did the FIB and CIA take out President John Kennedy?
In all honesty, the spectators took out Donald…
He took himself out by not realizing he was being set up again. It was almost too easy for the Deep State to get the outcome they wanted. I know the truth can be painful…
…speculation by a spectator…
Listening to Charlie Kirk, ( WHO ADMITS He Got along With Jared Kushner ) and Peter Navarro this morning – IT WAS ” COKES and JOKE ” Celebrations for the Campaign Leaders –
when Charlie and Peter were Warning about OVER CONFIDENCE and ERRORS in the Campaign Polling.
QUESTION – WHO WAS the POLLSTERS that Jared RELIED ON ?
qrw
Listening to Kirk talk about the they ver confidence was telling. Kirk says he was worried that certain officials were celebrating too soon. Kirk says they were all talking of a landslide and Kirk wasn’t happy about. Here’s the hot news flash for that little Kirk. Trump did win in a landslide. Kirk is a RDS hide away and will be found out soon enough.
My father is a lifelong democrat, and even he believes the CIA took out Kennedy.
Sometimes it doesn’t take the FBI or CIA do do what a former Marine sharpshooter, who renounced his citizenship, turned Communist, moved to Russia, took a wife, and hid himself on the six floor of the Dallas Book Depository, fired 3 shots with a mail order bolt action rifle at JFK who was 70 yards away. The route was posted in the paper days before.
Every Marine a rifleman is capable of hitting a basketball at 500 yards.
Let that sink in…
Jackie Kennedy: “Why did it have be a silly Communist?”
He did have a little help from the front of the limo.
Oswald was the first patsy, similar to all the set-ups taking place today.
The GOP delivered the “kill shot” on the Tea Party, but Obummers IRS, stopped their phenominal momentum, and kept them from growing, so the GOP could “send in the Clowns” to finish the job.
The dim’s took out Bernie twice!
BOUGHT HIM OFF…
3 Houses ? and HOW MANY CARS ?
i CONSIDER BERNIE a BOLSHEVIK NOT a ” SOVIET system ” COMMUNIST…
I don’t know of anybody who spends that kind of money, that doesn’t expect something of even greater value in return.
Just maybe, both Griffen and DeSantis are planning to use the remainder of Griffin’s wealth to help feed the starving poor in the world. …… With the Intentional shut down of many economies, plus the increase in the cost of energy and fertilizers, there will be massive starvation and death in our world.
With helping to feed the poor (If there is food available), both Giffen and DeSantis could then Gain Merit in Heaven; = Merit with God has greater value than all the money and power anyone can possibly dream about.
For the love of money is the root of all evil.
Love your neighbor as yourself.
Yes, “Merit with God has greater value than all the money and power anyone can possibly dream about”. Scripture does not claim that money is the root of all evil. Money is necessary for living in civil society, and some like President Trump have chosen to serve millions of others utilizing his wealth as a tool. Perhaps you are speaking sarcastically when you suggest what Griffin and Desantis would do with the money “leftover”. I would suggest reviewing what each man has done in terms of donations and philanthropy. The past is often a glimpse of the future. Yes, Jesus did say ” Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself” (King James Version).
10 ‘For the ~~>love ~ of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
KJV 1 Timothy 6: 10
Salvation is free, you don’t have to buy it, by doing good works. But by the same token, what kind of faith would it be if it did not spur on good works.
There is a “payment” for our salvation. … The image of Jesus Christ dead on the Cross should remind everyone of the price that was paid. … And, God in his Mercy allows us to ~offer our sufferings to Christ on the Cross. Like Simon of Cyrene, we are able to carry the Cross too.
“But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.” KJV
‘Eternal God … in (our) difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.’
Ken Griffin is a Harvard Grad…..Ron DeSantis is a Harvard and Yale Grad….. 8 of the 9 SCOTUS are Grads of Harvard…..There seems to be a pattern of who gets into the ‘Club’……..
I have had a bellyful of the “h” word and their Alum.
I went to Harvard, served 4 years in the US Army and voted for Trump twice – proudly.
Clarence Thomas went to Yale and he’s the best Justice on the court. PERIOD.
And little Benny Shapiro?
Big question for me; Is DeSantis a member of Skull and Bones? It is a super-secret society at Yale. The Bushes and John Kerry are members, to name just a few.
Sad to say that. DeSantis came to the fork in the road early in his political career as many do.
He could have been a great one but he chose the wrong path.
Never forget that when he did he never thought the people he needs to prevail would ever find out.
He is no Donald J Trump and never will be.
Money corrupts totally.
Don’t fall for his gamesmanship. He is just following Trumps example.
Who needs a fake copy when we can have the real deal?
Fake as a three dollar bill.
In the words of the late great Bob Grant “ when push comes to shove DeSantis will fold like a cheap camera.
Mike Pence comes to mine.
DeSantis is running for Governor of Florida.
Nothing but a steppingstone.
I hope I am wrong but I think not.
I Suggest that we all keep something in mind as we see the DeSantis road show play out.
Whenever he makes a statement the press is giving it credence . They seem to be rooting for him.
Then the press leaves it out there without a critique.
Today in response to Biden he said something like we are fine.
They are saying he put Biden in his place.
A bit of cheerleading seems to be going on.
Trump defeats,ICIS and he received nothing but fake news attacks.
My point is that Trump and DeSantis are NOT on the same playing field..
I am in the bleachers rooting for Trump the fastball pitcher, mowing them down . Not DeSantis lobbing underhand pitches hopping for the defense to win the game.for him.
Bullseye 🎯 🎯
👉The Globalist Big Government Propaganda Machine referred to as “the press” are the Agents of Influence 👈
✅️Thanks 👍 👌 JimS for clarity regarding the MSM Propaganda Machine
Perfect understanding.
Well stated. I lost DeSantis when he did nothing but a Tweet Tweet about the FBI RAID on Mar A Lago. DeSantis along with any other Governor’s of a State can do an Executive Order and throw the FBI out of their State. Also, Law Enforcement have
power to deal with the FBI too. Go check out http://www.thenewamerican.com check for Ben Armstrong. Go and scroll
Ben’s podcast. He did one explaining this and called out DeSantis for not protecting Trump.
Pence is nothing but a well groomed used car salesman.
I am definitely no fan of DeSantis but a little over 10 million from this guy is like an average person donating $25.00.
The only reason they care about small donations is so they can drive their average donation value down.
What does $25.00 buy? Two bumper stickers and a hat to give away.
After the gov. Campaign is over DeSantis can put the excess monies in a foundation that will financially Benefit his family for the rest of their lives.
And that is just for starters.
Azrajo, it sickens me that these slime balls can take full advantage of your good natured intentions in such deceptive ways.
You think they assess the value of the person making the donation. In reality they can care less about either of them. It’s only the power and money the value of the donation can buy that they care about in the end.
10 million dollar launches a powerful effective political career. you math is *mostly right, but writing the wrong equation.
did DS raise 10 million dollars from WE THE PEOPLE of the state of Florida?
if not, why not?
God Bless America
So the bigger question is why is this allowed in the first place?
Being elected should be closer to getting a notice for jury duty, or worse getting a draft notice than a notice that you have won the lottery.
That is the reach ‘and’ reaction we need to be going for, for all ‘representative’ offices.
Like George Washington, who only left his farm to save the nation, and would return just as quickly once the job was done. That is the representative we are looking for.
Griffin, Black Rock’s Fink, and YouTube’s CEO are all behind-the-scenes pals of the Bill Barr of conservative commentary, Ben Shapiro.
Watch out for Ben Shapiro. He’s clever and sneaky.
Ben Shapiro is another Harvard grad and a Lawyer…..Two massive problems plaguing our Republic…..
Plus he’s a Kenite.
He wanted Hillary to win.
Yes…watch out for Ben Shapiro. I never liked or trusted the guy.
Well, I will hold my nose and still vote for Big Ron over any democrat. It’s about time conservatives put up a defense against the likes of Soros, Zuckerburg, and their ilk. Sorry, but without the big money we are just another minor party that won’t win.
As much as I would like to see Trump get the nom, I could see Desantis turning MN into Northern Florida!
Let’s play the game people! Trump is bad cop, Big Ron is good cop, hopefully working together, it would be a slaughter for democrats.
Zuckerberg has lost half his wealth since creating Meta.
“Zuckerberg has lost half his wealth since creating Meta”. . .Good says I
Absolutely not!
DeSantis is not a “good cop”
Hilarious. DeSantis had the stones to hand the libs their arse on their phony virtue signaling the likes of which are rare and ppl have to make him out to be a bad guy because they prefer a different presidential candidate. Maybe we deserve what’s happening…
We eat our own here! There was a day when Citizen Trump was a Democrat but folks have short memories. Everyone here knows what President Trump is thinking even before he does. People are planning on withholding their vote rather than vote for a RINO but I hear mention, here, that every/most Republicans are RINOs so that would lead to a Democrat Super Majority in BOTH Houses. That goofball plan has no path to an eventual MAGA majority. “Perfection” is our biggest enemy here although only a few bright souls can see it. A “shout out” to “fnaSerena”!
Every election cycle the corrupt gopE gives us that perfection BS.
F the GOPE.
I think that Desantis is a good example of business as usual. He’s done stellar work as governor of Florida. But hen we start to see how much money his campaign chest has amassed and who’s putting that money in it, a larger picture develops as to his real political allegiances.
He is not now and never will be MAGA.
He may or may not end up tossing his hat in for 2024.
I am not going to cut off my nose to spite my face if Trump decides not to run and we end up with Desantis as the lead runner. I will just remember that he, like many before him is owned and pray he does a better job than the neocons we’ve ended up voting for for over the last several election cycles.
It was a political stunt and you fell for it hook, line, and sinker.
What stones ? The governor of Texas has been removing illegals to other states for months.
Copy cat much?
No thanks. I’m not a Republican but I am MAGA.
See ya.
Yes JRD, see ya in the losing column when Newsom becomes the next president.
People, what are you going to do if Trump decides not to run and endorses Desantis? There could be plans for Trump to take all the heat then pull a switcheroo simply to trap the evil schemers. If you’re all MAGA then you have to side with Trump, who is a republican. Otherwise, like many say there is no perfection, we support the best we got and sitting home or protest voting is not the way.
I am an active precinct volunteer and I can tell you there are many new “republicans” that are quietly working the system to make America great again.
Lastly, don’t put it past some leftists to post here trying to drive a wedge. Use your suspicious cat brain.
DeSantis does not have his own money. Trump *does* have his own money.
DeSantis is running for Governor of Florida. He discloses where he gets funds…
and bunches of his $$$$ have come from RINOs , the CofC type, the globalist. You can easily verify this online I did. That being said, I sure hope he wins his race.
The people on here crying about desantis should you go run for office without $$$ and show us all how it is done.
Look we agree with you- we want campaign finance reform, but the Uniparty will never allow it because they get to hand pick the candidates. I actually think gofundme grass roots stuff is the way to go for local offices. Once you accept GOP money from McConnell and Ronna Romney you are kissing the Mcconnell ring of China and endless immigration.
That’s a good idea – but givesendgo, not gofundme.
Carry on.
Wanna see how its done?
Go to KariLake.com and see.
For her primary, her opponent spent $20 million of her Hubbies $, and had a $10 mil donation.
KL budget was $3.5 million, small donors.
Exactly 💯
Thanks 👍 👌 for the information Dutchman
Yes and Kari Lake backs Desantis and Trump. But lets see you run without $$$. Show us how
So there aren’t any PACs buying pro-KL advertising that receive large donations from companies owned by pro-KL advocates?
Money finds its way through many paths.
I don’t dispute the idea. I just question anyone who thinks money is not spread around quite liberally across all political divides.
Touche
Trump Made his money.
I guess they prefer only multi billionaires run. That should be interesting.
Trump amassed millions of dollars from WE THE LITTLE PEOPLE.
NEXT?
Sorry, Boris!
Why would we want ANYONE in office who is taking money from grifters and announces their availability for further grift? And look at those eyes of Griffin. Should he not be evaluated for thyroid or other medical problems?
Shame on you, Ron.
The dudes a multi billionaire and would make far more money doing what he’s doing now than being TS.
It is all about control. MUCH BIGGER MONEY when in control. Why do you think the Clinton Foundation is back in operation?
TRILLIANS AT STAKE.
We need to worry about the people who become wealthy as a result of public service, not those who go into it already wealthy. Otherwise every argument here about Trump not needing the money is hollow since your argument equally applies to him. Ppl who can make money, esp billions, on their own, don’t need to stop to public corruption to become wealthy.
You are exactly right. Yes, what’s wrong with his eyes?
They see perfectly that your arguments apply equally to Trump. Worry about ppl like Clinton, Obama, Pelosi, etc who have to be corrupt in office to become wealthy.
OK, Mr Epshteyn in this video says that DeSantis stash of 200 MILLION can only be used in his Florida race . . . I thought we had already concluded that was not the case?
Can’t remember where the exception was, Florida or Federal, but I know I read it here not long ago.
If I’m not wrong, then I’m surprised Bannon didn’t call him out on that.
He sure does not need 200 million to win in Florida! The Uniparty is running the awful Dem candidate expressly to ensure Governor DeSantis does not have to call on President Trump to help him over the line again…and also to give DeSantis a juggernaut win percentage, making ’24 an easier sell . That being said, he certainly deserves a 2nd term and everyone here would like to see him get it.
Both get it and serve it, in full.
What were the other Dem options in FL?
There are never any good DementoRat options.
In my humble opinion, of course.
If you are interested, here is a good book about the machinations within Europe during the 1980’s and 1990’s.

A great many current issues were front and centre back then. This book is worth a read to get a sense of what options are on the table …behind the curtain…

Taken from pages 41 & 42 of The Rotten Heart of Europe:
… Intriguingly, there may also have been a dramatic geopolitical element in the Bundesbank’s attitude. According to some analysts, Kohl and Gorbachev had already come to an agreement, in the autumn of 1987, on German reunification in return for Western acceptance, to be brokered by Germany, that the Baltic States, the Ukraine and Byelorussia would remain within the Soviet sphere of influence. The agreement could not be made public, it is suggested, until the missing link of the INF treaty was in place, leading inexorably to American disengagement from Europe and giving Germany the chance to resume its traditional dominance of central and eastern Europe. To allay French fears and prevent the re-emergence of the “Rapallo complex” in France, a monetary bone would have to be tossed to Mitterand …
We get to vote for exactly the person they want us to vote for. I’m telling you that if both parties got behind Micky Mouse, he’d the the nomination and win.
Considering that Mickey is a Groomer, he already did., sorta.
WOW! 👀 This Clinton level pay to play. If these folks really want to help the governor, stop constantly outting him.
Shush you! 😉
I love it when a Derp State plan turns to poop!
Thanks Ron, good advice ………… you’ve done enough damage to yourself before/during/after the Mar-a-Lago.raid…. the other people need to stop outting you.
No….DeSantis just keeps getting worse after the Mar A Lago Raid…
Aren’t public servants just grand?
We are in a fight for the soul of the nation, according to Biden. It takes lots of money to fight a war. Unless and until DeSantis demonstrates he cannot be trusted, I say we give him the benefit of the doubt.
Amasing!
Guy goes in for an exam at the proctologist.
Dr. stands behind him, and begins probing his backside,…puts a hand on his left hip, and continueing to probe, puts another hand on his RIGHT hip.
Guy says “I’m gonna give him the benefit of the doubt!”
😎That medical exam room explanation gives real time ⏲️ definition of, “benefit of the doubt”😵💫
By accepting the bribe DiSantis has proven 200million times he can’t be trusted.
Not sure what will change your opinion of him.
Mine has soured but not gone completely rank yet. I still want to see him win and stay Governor of Florida rather than the horrid DementoRat alternative.
However at this point, I fully expect him to cement everyone’s opinion of him on the day when he announces he is running against PDJT, and we simultaneously see the UniParty rush to anoint him and yell “Please clap!”
New logo: Ron!!
No bigger crook on Wall Street than Griffin. The number of firms he shorted into oblivion is beyond belief.
Shorts have a purpose and a role in properly functioning markets. They prevent asset inflation and artificial bubbles. Some can see undervalued assets and some are good at seeing overvalued ones.
Never, stock was to support good businesses. Shorting is just gambling. Has nothing to do with stewardship.
I have news for you, it’s all gambling. Some gamble it will go up and some gamble it will go down. While “Longs” risk their initial investments, Shorts have unlimited risk. The loses can be limitless. As I’ve said, there’s room for both in properly functioning markets. One is no more “ethical” than the other.
Bingo! Nasty ****.
By the way, the GameStop folks that Sundance mentioned above are very big favorites of Steve Bannon’s. They’ve appeared on his show many times in the last few years. He used to feature one almost every week…
This development with Griffin has to be giving Steve a lot of pause about DeSantis. And we know the War Room pays close attention to this site.
Unbelievable. So blatant. That is why it was/is so important that the bulk of Trump’s money came from small donations and not big donors and Wall Street. They had/have not control over Trump.
This is disgusting- if he is willing to pimp himself out to the likes of Ken Griffin- he is just as bad as McConnell. I had hoped he was MAGA lite but if he takes Ken Griffin, nope. that ensures open borders and our industry continuing to be farmed out to China.
I wonder if McConnell got a cut.
Indeed, Carrie.
If you say so it must be true.
Sad but TRUE…
I had a feeling MAGA lite was generous when I first saw the label.
Because “Establishment” always came into my mind when I heard his name.
He seems to align with really really popular conservative people to garner attention for himself.
My first experience with this was when he called into Rush Limbaugh and basically told him that he has earned being the first “graduate” of the Limbaugh Institute for Conservative Studies.
I thought then: “He seems to think very highly of himself and wants to use Rush to elevate himself.”
Thankfully Rush was very gracious but did not agree!
This doesn’t sound like an America First potential administration. Corruption at it’s worst.
Agree
This is very bad. But God sure knows how to expose the snakes.
And I can’t see DeSantis any other way at this point.
Me either.
The more you see the strings…
If Trump does not run and Desantis does, i will be voting for him. A lot of nonsense on this site lately.
Sundance doesn’t say not to vote for him- he’s telling you to EXPECT him to behave exactly like a McConnell pawn- which he is. That explicitly means that immigration will not be solved and continued positive overtures to China will continue- even to the detrimentof the US.
Exactly 💯
Thanks Carrie 👍 👌
BS…his anti-desantis campaign smells like he tried to get a job with him and got denied. Go back over the years on who this site was positive for and there are some doozies. Take in info from all sources. This site is but one person painting a picture and it always seems in hindsight.
I’ve been here since 2014-2015. I really cannot agree with your assessment- and I do read many other sources (Twitter conservatives/Warroom/many press articles from both left and right/Never Trumpers- everyone etc). Sundance is literally the best go-to person to explain what is the Uniparty and all of it’s machinations. Hans Mahncke and many others are very very slow to this party. The incredible way that the FBI and CiA have been weaponized was really first reported here and broken down with all of the ways they tried to take down Trump.
Pence was good to go by sundance
All after the fact
Are you new here?
Just tired of the captain hindsight stuff here.
You’re on a roll , don’t stop now …
So, you’re new.
That, it seems, is always the fall-back / default position -Sundance a frustrated job seeker -turned down , sour grapes yada yada .. your smelling ability not very good – but glad for your enlightened opinion
We HOPE YOU COMIN TO SENSE IN THE 2024…..
I have my senses. I look at all info and dont let one site or dude influence my vote.
Giving even Ukraine a challenge in the Corruption Olympics.
Why does he look like a total creep douche bag??
Maybe because he is? Alex…
is DeSantis this year’s Mitt Romney?
Remember when?
There are a LOT of millennial retail investors in “meme” stocks that are incredibly frustrated and disillusioned by Wall Street. At the end of the day we should WANT people investing in companies, both to help the economic growth of the country and as a profitable way to save money for the future.
I have long thought Trump needs to court that bloc of voters, given the abject corruption of the SEC and the financial sector of the country as a whole, and those millennial voters who despise them both.
Interesting points. Something to learn more about. How are the folks you are referring to otherwise aligned? Someone will eventually see that block of voters and court their votes. Food for thought.
See my post up top!
Weird, I just watched a 2 part documentary on hbo max called “gaming Wall Street”. Citadels part in the whole meme stock wsb play showed just how the game is rigged and Main Street will never be allowed to pull one over on the bankers. Naked shorts is the next issue. Banks and clearinghouses are allowing the trading of more shares than exist and profiting off of that too.
Wallstreet Apes on Truth Social, it’s all he posts about.
Appreciate seeing Bannon here as I think he is a massive important voice for us. I respect everything he is trying to do.
I have had issues with DeSantis early on. He simply waits for other Govs to do something, checks to see if it plays well, copied it and proclaims his dominance. Abbott getting attention for sending illegals to DC, NYC and Chicago was getting support, so voila. Same with lockdowns, CRT and more. And then came the raid on Trump…and I knew for sure. Now it becomes even clearer why he made me uneasy.
My personnel opinion only; No way DeSantis wasn’t informed by FBLie that the raid on MAL was going down.
Now was he given the exact time and day? I doubt it but he should have alerted Trump anyway. Something smells fishy down at the docks!
Let’s admit it that most of our government elected officials and appointed positions are under the influence of lobbyists and special interests. The only one that had the balls to MAGA was President Trump, the only one that they couldn’t influence. DeSantis has done a great job in Florida. I’m hoping he supports Trump when he announces his candidacy. Should DeSantis run in 2024 against Trump, I will voting be against him in the Florida primary. I hope he’s not that stupid.
Voice of reason.
well, another name I had not heard of to put into my “watch” list to make sure I do nothing to support him.
Sorry, Desantis, I’m warning you now, don’t run against President Trump.
Well i guess if you warned him he will def listen…
Pompeo should wake up and smell the coffee as well. He has said he is running but hasn’t declared yet. BIG mistake!
Many of us already know this, it does enlighten others, that’s a good thing.
If PDJT is able and does run again there is no doubt he will win bigger than before.
A problem arises if the above scenario does not come to fruition, there are no private escalators in the future, choices will have to be made.
Hopefully the first option prevails but, in 4 years we will face option number two, it’s definitely not a kick the can situation, yet those of us still around face the same dilemma likely on a greater scale.
The puppet masters will be really big mad. Relatively certain they would not practice cold anger.
PDJT’s first term administration did weed out quite a few swamp creatures, we’ve all been disappointed in selections, many times the approval process is the catch other times it was who made the recommendation—Obama hugging former NJ gov.
With PDJT calling out Mitch regularly it will be worse next time.
There is a person in PDJT”s circle now that was one of the feature players in the Trayvon travesty played on FL and beyond, granted that was a few years back, it still doesn’t sit well.
Doubt there is a bookie that would give odds on getting the Blues Brothers Band of Wolverines back together. We so would need them.
Trump 2024 if you please.
Those early indications are very important.
I well remember FauxChi’s love letter to HilLiary Clinton that was revealed here, early on.
I listened carefully for lies from him from that moment – and it wasn’t hard to identify them!
No longer hiding it: The Elites purchase the Serf.
How they have denigrated the Office of the President, and the Offices of the Cabinet.
Another notch on his belt.
He is theone of the very worst slimes and the finance world.
The leftestards are desperate to rid the country of Trump. How many actions is the dojo and fib involved in trying to find or manufacture a crime? I am wondering if the 87,000 IRS gunmen were hired to investigate he and his inner circle, family included.
Just also wondering, Ron, is the money worth it? All assets deployed indeed.
So DeSantis can only use this money for his Florida Governor race. Well, good for DeSantis in getting the money.
Griffin needs to give DeSantis $100 million to be able to be Undersecretary of Treasury for Mongolian/ US Dollar Exchange Rate statistician.
Here in Illinois FKG donated a lot more than $10 million to a BLM sleezeball mayor named Richard Irvin, a guy with a few baby mamas, a Democrat who FKG decided should run as a Republican against Jabba Pritzker.
Fortunately FKG’s tens of millions were wasted here. Most likely Jabba will trounce Darren Bailey but at least there’s a choice that doesn’t make you want to shower in bleach.
