Galaxy brain moves afoot “In recent days, some company leaders and Democratic political operatives have called the chief executive of JPMorgan Chase, Jamie Dimon, according to someone with knowledge of the calls, to gauge his interest in replacing Mr. Biden”
Big Donors Turn on Biden. Quietly.www.nytimes.com Some of the president’s past supporters want a new candidate, but they are leery of going public.

They scented weakness and went for the undemocratic coup. Filth

The utter ridiculousness of thinking that Jamie Dimon wants to be president and have to do actual work all day.

But also that Jamie Dimon would be willing to risk losing to Donald Trump and having all his assets seized by the feds and being sent to Federal prison as a result.

… Fuck, I gotta recalibrate my “this is fucked up” meter, because this is 100% plausible.

In Dimon's case, having been in charge of one of the largest banks in the world for decades, you can pretty much guarantee he's at least implicated in multiple federal crimes, so it wouldn't even require a lot of pretenses.
Avatar
True, but I also think Dimon is conniving enough to spot this risk from a mile away, so it’s simply not going to happen.

The best case scenario if he even gets the nomination (lol) is that he loses and Trump uses JP Morgan Chase as a personal piggybank. Worst case is dying in Gitmo.

Exactly. I'm not one to overrate Dimon's insight, but he spent the 4 years Trump was in office being careful not to get on his bad-side. He's not going to do anything different now for the sake of a smaller office with a worse view and more work.

Have you heard about the new trend "Quiet Shrieking?"

I've been doing it my whole life!! Thinking about getting some loud shrieks in there too

And almost every word of that story is from unnamed sources. I'm getting awfully tired of the supposed newspaper of record bolstering stories written to stir the pot for clicks with anonymous sources.

They just want to save themselves, the rest of us can fend for ourselves.

That's been the idea all along, that's why these fucks have been circulating corrosive disinfo and hoarding resources this whole time

Of course the NYT could never be accusing of trimming the facts to fit an existing narrative.

*accused of Man, I hate finding spelling errors after the fact.

I 100% believe some Democrat party donors and strategists want Dimon or Bloomberg because they are the kind of wunderkinds that got us to Biden trailing a rapist felon in every swing state

we don't want nonna that populist overtly-loud stuff, it's messy it needs to be old-school insidious and pervasive like poison gas and settle slowly into everything a business approach to imperial dictatorship, that's what repressive authoritarianism needs to get it working right

Videlicet, bsky.app/profile/josh...
I just counted home page stories. The Daily Caller has five anti-Biden and six pro-Trump stories. The New York Times has seven anti-Biden stories and three that give this style of both-sides treatment to Trump. The Times really is sprinting off a cliff to satisfy their nepo-publisher’s vendetta.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA nah what the FUCK

This would seem to be the problem with "big donors" guiding the parties, yes.

FFS. Dimon is just a smarter Dump. Should be in jail but we love the plutocrats, the govt will forgive them anything & the dopes that think because you've made a gajillion dollars gaming the system, you've got the chops to run the govt..That's how we got here!

The NYT is not a supporter of democracy.
It's like they don't want to win an election. What is their day to day experience like that they think this is a good idea

Oh yeah ... I'm sure an elite banker will appeal to the majority of Americans - particularly progressives. Fucking idiots.

Dems don’t need Reps to lose. They can do that all by themselves. Ffs.

Why would anyone vote for a corporate suit who has never held public office and whose company exploits people with fees and is one of the top lenders to fossil fuel companies? Do those Democratic operatives know this guy from Upper East Side cocktail parties or what?

You can practically hear the jerking off sounds coming from under the desk while imagining this being written.

I mean, they *are* the constituency of the Democratic Party and when they start calling for this stuff more openly, it's done
