My Occam's Razor explanation is that Trump is planning to loot the treasury via unregulated crypto trades.

Crypto is not untraceable.

But it is not very easy to trace and law enforcement has to rely on tools they do not understand, and it requires international cooperation due to the global nature of the Internet.

Crypto crime is exactly the kind of thing that "someone" in the United States could get away with if the Federal government decided to stop cooperating with other investigators and also not investigate anything domestically. Cutting all that red tape is good for business.

P.S. ---- Veterans, and ---- Veterans Day.

Not a single Republican voice speaking out against the propaganda onslaught.

Not a single one.

Yigal Amir gunned down Yitzhak Rabin for daring to respond to the same Palestinians negotiators you keep trying to browbeat me with.

I'm not sure why you can't connect those dots.

But the fact that Israel was born into war was Israel's choice, and Israel's choice alone.

And just like Putin, they could stop at any time.

And just like Putin, they have no real reason to.

"Maybe you were too busy avoiding my repeated question of how you'd respond to a negotiator who has just answered your LBF offer with a quoting of the Preamble, for the 399th time in a row since 1948."

Why would Israel enter into a plan that called for two States, knowing full well the Two State Solution would never be accepted by the very people they are Ethnically Cleansing from Palestine?

Because the Zionists never intended in pursuing a Two State Solution, you ------- -------!

You've pulled 77 years of wool over your eyes and you think you're being rational.

"how you'd respond to a negotiator who has just answered your LBF offer with a quoting of the Preamble, for the 399th time in a row since 1948.""

There was an Israeli offer?
What was the Israeli offer?
Did the offer grant Palestine equal status as Israel?
You're lying if you say yes.

Israel doesn't want peace. Zionism never wanted peace. Zionism is a philosophy of conquest, military conquest if needs be. It's getting what it wanted.

The fact that there is "Islamic Resistance" to the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people by the European Zionists is not really a black mark on the Palestinian people, any more than the Warsaw Uprising in a black mark on the Polish Jews who died. And like the Polish Jews, the Palestinians will meet the same fate.

"Maybe you were too busy avoiding my repeated question of how you'd respond to a negotiator who has just answered your LBF offer with a quoting of the Preamble, for the 399th time in a row since 1948."

What negotiation?

Hamas is a reaponse to Israel abandoning the two state solution.

Why can't you accept that truth?

Social Security is not an investment.
It's a welfare program.

If you want to invest for retirement,
that's what 401K and Roth IRA are for.

"we are on pace to collect about 4x more in tariffs than the bottom 50% of US taxpayers pay in federal income taxes."

Collect from whom?
How much from the bottom 50%?

"Another staffer said Thursday that $330 million has been paid to dead people"

So they saved one dollar per American.

Republicans are the dumbest people imaginable.

Parents, if your kids are autistic, avoid the rush and have their serial number tattooed on their forearm now.

"Crypto is the currency for criminals like drug dealers, terrorists, human traffickers, mobsters, fraudsters, etc"

But let's be realistic. That's a good 5% of global GDP, all told.

They're going to come up with a way to manage their finances. At the end of the day, it's just business. Capitalism does not need to comply with the law to generate wealth. That is not in the rulebook.

"March 2020 we had empty shelves. Who was president then?"

"a collapse that didn't happen."

Hasn't happened yet.

Also I'm not betting on it. Or against it. I'm not invested in the S&P 500 at all any more. Too much uncertainty thanks to madamn in charge, there is not enough reward to justify the risk.

Banana Republic stuff, and no Republican can deny it.

BillJohnson must be so proud!

"Identify discrepancies in 2020 elections results by looking at graphs and other information, including the sudden halting of ballot-counting in select cities in key battleground states, the security risks of mail-in balloting, sudden batch dumps, an unforeseen record number of voters, and the unprecedented contradiction of "bellwether county" trends.

"In March, Walters said the purpose of this section was to teach "students to think for themselves" and "not be spoon-fed left-wing propaganda." According to Walters, there are "legitimate concerns" about the integrity of the 2020 election that were "raised by millions of Americans in 2020."

Bring On The Jackbooted Thugs. Federal ones, even.

Republicans love Federal police, just ask Cliven Bundy what he thinks about Bureau of Land Management!
Just ask Timothy McVeigh what he thinks about ATF and Lon Horiuchi.

"The vaccinated are 20% more likely to get COVID-19"

Does this mean vaccinated people account for 60% of cases and unvaccinated account for 40%...

But since 70% of people are vaccinated, with only 60% of cases in vaccinated people, it means you're actually less likely to get COVID if you're vaccinated.

Is that how this works out?

Also, is it adjusted for health care workers, vaccinated and in direct contact with COVID patients, and thus more likely to get COVID due to their occupational exposure.

One of Marco Rubio's biggest problems is he is miserable.

And it's evident every time you see him on camera.

He hates his job, he hates his boss.

He does it anyway because he's a little bitch.

"As long os our private economy hi tech companies continue to innovate"

You're missing the point.
They're not going to be able to do as much of that.
Why? Because Government funding drives that high tech research and development.

"So where is the harm? I am not seeing it at this time."

Luigi Mangione, welcome to the Drudge Retort.

"COVID shots - do not stop one from getting it, nor does it stop being passed on once have it."

You're making the good the enemy of the perfect.

The vaccine isn't perfect.

But the vaccine does reduce the risk.

"Harvard will continue on very well without our tax dollars so am glad this is tasking place"

How does it benefit us that the United States is surrendering our leadership role in the global high-tech economy?

How is that good?
