I can't wait to see how Chris Tucker plays it

Stranger than fiction.

They’re both at least trying to play [1].

The wild move for Ellison would be to bid for one of Trump’s crypto projects if the shareholder vote looks like it could fail.

He did until they paid him off, fired people he doesn't like and his buddy bought it.

Like Comcast (Philadelphia) acquired NBC/SNL in 2011?

Trump stated this today:

> My real problem with the show, however, wasn’t the low IQ traitor, it was that the new ownership of 60 Minutes, Paramount, would allow a show like this to air. THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN THE OLD OWNERSHIP, who just paid me millions of Dollars for FAKE REPORTING about your favorite President, ME! Since they bought it, 60 Minutes has actually gotten WORSE! Oh well, far worse things can happen.


Grandpa forgot that they paid him bribes but his handlers will quickly remind him of it.

Goes to show that paying bullies only buys temporary relief.

Kushner is involved in the money for the Paramount bid
