The amount of corruption and incompetence ignored by his base is staggering. This is all because they don’t like immigration?
They're not getting ahead, so... they're burning it down.

How did you feel about the Biden family’s blatant corruption? Do you really think that Hunter Biden was an amazing artist and brilliant corporate energy sector lawyer that is just falling on hard times now like the rest of us? It’s a weird coincidence that he can’t sell his paintings anymore now that his Dad isn’t politically relevant anymore. Joe’s brother has also made a lot of money off of questionable government…

I would actually say that scams and financial crimes seem to be the only concrete use case of the technology at the moment. (Unless you count speculation/gambling).
I'm 99% against crypto and think it's mostly a tool for wasting limited human innovation capital, enabling fraud, terrorist financing, ponzi scheme gambling, and pump and dump rug pulling. There are a few areas where I find crypto interesting or useful: - The existing banking and payments industry is too Christian / Mormon. It extra-judicially regulates anything it views as "vices". This industry is supposed to be du…
Yeah, these seem like a really good (potentially the only one) use case for crypto. Note that these are really just replicating dollar (and potentially euro) dominance for a new age, and whoever ends up winning here will probably be the new Visa/Mastercard (with all of the problems that entails).

You can’t see why average Americans would want a change from many of the Biden Administration’s policies? It has nothing to do with racism, xenophobia, or transphobia. A lot of the policies were just objectively bad for average everyday Americans.

No, the current system does not work for most of the people hence the "just nuke it" option sounds like a rational one. Canadian elections show that people can change their mind overnight, but unfortunately some of the changes that happened in the US institutions and the global relations will take decades to reverse (if ever).
But history has showed (with NSDAP and others) that it is not.
The creation of the trump coin is a signal to the crypto community that the SEC will stop going after crypto companies. I have read alot of people who ended up going into crypto and some even getting lucrative investment from Andreeson horowitz, lightspeed, etc etc. And then one day, they get a letter in the mail saying they are now a Politically Exposed Entity (PEE). Then all of their banks drop them, they can't get…

Taking a microdose of ket under medical supervision, and taking a hit of weed which is legal in alot of states is not the same "Smoking crack every 15 minutes" as hunter said he did.
>Not in the slightest. There are legal limits on how much money you can give the President.
You aren't giving any money to the president here. It's a way for the president to provide utility to the coin. The coin has a vesting schedule, locking the coins so they can't be sold by the insiders.

You could spend an entire college semester discussing how and why. Immigration is the current scapegoat for the effects of a hollowed out middle class, though.

To compare Hunter Biden, a private citizen, making a few paintings, to the actual president of the country grifting with crypto to the tune of billions, is rather something. Especially after watching the 2 billion dollar bailout that Jared Kushner got from the Saudis during the first term.
Hunter Biden blatantly and corruptly sold his father’s influence. There’s even evidence that Joe got his “10% for the big guy” on these dealings. It’s a massive disgusting scandal.
For the record I can’t stand when either side pulls this crap. The whole narrative that my side’s politicians are less corrupt than yours needs to end. They’re dividing us into tribes and playing us for fools while the political class robs us blind.

donations to affiliated NGOs (non-governmental organizations) are tax-deductible. >Musk is also a "known druggie"; his ketamine habit is self-admitted, and he smoked pot on Rogan.

Only if they're tax exempt NGOs. Which affiliated NGO do you propose?

(I'm… pretty doubtful Musk is actually microdosing.)
The Feds consider both crack cocaine and marijuana as a Schedule I drug; per the DEA, "no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse". https://www.dea.gov/drug-information/drug-scheduling
> You aren't giving any money to the president here.
Per the article: "A Trump business entity owns 60 percent of World Liberty, according to the company’s website, and is entitled to 75 percent of certain revenue from coin sales, which could be converted into cash."

What were their roles in the Biden Administration?
