Everything Trump Touches Dies

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I've always watched golf more as background music or something to nap with than top tier entertainment. However, a lot of golf is personality-driven, and I enjoyed it a lot more when many of the top players were recognizable and distinctive. Local golf hero Xander Shauffle gets a lot of press but at least publicly he's got the personality of cellophane. Other local Mickelson doesn't get mentioned much anymore and when he is it's more for whining over some tax crap or something. I like McIlroy but he's picked up a nasty habit of having his wheels fall off in the third or fourth rounds. I got tired of Tiger-Tiger-Tiger all the time, and particularly was annoyed when new of a tournament was reported and the guys starts out "Tiger finished the day in 22nd, having trouble with his putts. Tiger's shirt looked a little damp and Tiger's caddy scratched his ass a lot during the day. Oh, by the way, Fowler is leading, and now back to the weather chick."

But fan or not, the real reason viewership is down is because there's (barely) no Tiger anymore.

Women's tennis, too?
Serena played her final match at the 2022 US Open.
Venus is 43, ranked No. 487 and can't be far from retirement.
Can WTA #3 Coco Gauff fill their tennis shoes?
How about #5 Jessica Pegula?
I've never heard of #1 Iga Świątek, #2 Aryna Sabalenka or #4 Elena Rybakina.
IMO it's been going downhill since Anna Kournikova got married and retired :o ;)

My favorite golf guy was John Daly....he'd wear crazy pants and even show up drunk on the course. He was sort of the gonzo golfer.

I also enjoy watching little clips of trump lugging his fat ass around a golf course.

Trump's "golf" game is truly a naked Emperor story. Everybody knows he's not that good; everybody knows he lies; everybody knows he cheats. Yet they'll stand around with straight faces while he awards himself club championships, claims to beat pros, and claims to never miss fairways while standing ass deep in the gorse.

Meanwhile, real golfers get lose strokes for accidental movement of their ball and get dq'd from tournaments for making an honest mistake on their scorecard.

Meanwhile Rebel Wilson gets bashed for dropping a couple of years off her age for a film role and staying a virgin to age (maybe) 35.

Some folks narrowly escape death:
An accounting firm hired to vet Truth Social's financials quit after less than a year because it no longer wanted to be linked to Trump: FT

... WithumSmith+Brown was appointed to vet Trump Media & Technology Group's financials soon after it was founded in early 2021. But the firm resigned before the end of 2021, the FT reported citing people familiar with the matter.

According to the FT's sources, WithumSmith+Brown no longer wanted to be associated with Trump and his company after several months on the job....
The second string is a real winner:
In January 2022, Trump Media instead turned to a smaller accounting firm to conduct the audit, BF Borgers, which has less than stellar record with regulators. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board said it identified multiple deficiencies in every audit it had reviewed from BF Borgers in the past two years, per Bloomberg.

BF Borgers was also removed from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' peer review program in November "because the firm was found to be so seriously deficient in its performance that education and remedial, corrective actions are not adequate."
Perfect for Dolt .45.
... The company's shares initially skyrocketed when it went public in March, only for prices to plunge just a week later. Trump Media's shares had fallen again on Monday, per Axios.

That isn't great for Trump, whose net worth is tied to his holdings in Trump Media. The former president's net worth went up by more than $4 billion when the company's shares rallied, only for him to be kicked off Forbes' list of the world's 500 wealthiest people when it went into freefall....
Ouch, that's gotta hurt.

Is it Dolt .45's fault? I didn't watch any.


Now we know why "Truth" Social collapsed:
Donald Trump’s Company Has Diversity And Inclusion Policy While He Rages Against It
Trump Media & Technology Group says it embraces “a culture of diversity and inclusion” for “gender identity and expression” and race.


:lol: Busted, hypocrite.
Donald Trump’s company behind his Truth Social platform features “diversity and inclusion” policies, while the former president vows to eliminate them across the land if re-elected.

Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, has criticized DEI policies as “un-American” for years. But the language in the Trump Media & Technology Group was adopted on March 25, 2024, according to company documents on its website. That was the day before the company went public following a merger with a shell company. Its stock has plummeted repeatedly in the weeks since....
Aha! DEI ruins businesses well before it's even implemented ;)
