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”
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.
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.
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.
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.
the NYT concerned op eds as the national guard stand over 150 dead students on the Mall with gunsmoke in the air will be what brings the nation together
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
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.
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!
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?
