I do wish conservatives would just decide whether they give two shits about propriety or not.

Propriety for everyone except themselves.

Gee, I sure bet if the report exonerated him they would have no problem releasing it!

That’s a good one.

compcons · Nov 15, 2024

I would like to see all the crap become public. From Trump's stealing and not returning of sensitive documents and various other crimes to shitheels like Gaetz diddling little girls.

The next 4 years need to be just a steady stream of leaks that just lay out the shit politicians are doing. And yes, I will happily see some Dems get rolled but we all know the illegal shit is probably 90/10 with the Republicans on top.

The day somebody explains a crypto use case that is't crime or crime adjacent I'll be interested. My expectation of that ever happening is basically zero.

I use it to pay for my VPN subscription to protect myself.

Yeah that's about it though. I did make a bunch of money off mining it, so it made a decent investment vehicle.

Someone should just read it into the congressional record if they vote to not release it.

I imagine for Trump this is a lot more of a pro instead of a con.

When your bestie hung himself in a jail cell, you've got to replace him with like-minded bros.

'hung himself'. I still think there is a considerably higher than zero probability that Trump had him killed.

I thought it was telling when Epstein was quoted saying he kept blackmail material on Trump but was scared of Trump because he thought he was capable of doing anything to protect himself.

Background checks? Fuck no

Stolen from Reddit, I bring you this!

I guess it isn’t really said enough that the point of these ridiculous cabinet nominations isn’t to win a Senate confirmation hearing or hire “the best people” in Trumpworld—the point is to incite a panic amongst the rank and file—the civil employees working within these departments. Older employees say “I’m too old for this shit” and retire early, while younger employees bounce to the private sector.

They want to push people out before even putting up a fight. It’s the purge before the purge.

Can't wait till we have the "freedom to shit ourselves to death" once again with "raw milk".

"
I just want to remind you that infant mortality from diarrhea dropped 83% between 1910 and 1930—from 21,100 in 1910 to 3,500 in 1930; since then, the phenomenon once known as “cholera infantum” has largely disappeared. But hey, what are 17,600 dead children in the face of individual freedom? The freedom to shit yourself to death is a beautiful American freedom and it’s a parent’s inalienable right to feed their child tubercular freedom milk. (I can’t even really joke about this because it makes me so fucking angry.)"

Good article, BTW.

I only hope Trump has them dig their own holes before he tells them to get in it!

'Corruption is staggering': Musk makes paid-for X accounts only way to apply for DOGE jobs

Billionaire Elon Musk is directing candidates interested in working in his new Department of Government Efficiency to submit their résumés through his social media platform X, — apparently granting himself and X access to what he describes as “super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries...

I would way rather be paid in USD than gold. Also, gold has little value outside of some uses in electronics. The remainder of the value is the value we assign to it - which is ironically the same reason fiat currency has value.

And if you look at bitcoin it is subject to absolutely insane inflation and deflation. For example in February 2014 Bitcoin saw an annual inflation rate of over 1,000%.

Remember when America freaked out about like 9% inflation? Imagine over 100 times that. Bitcoin is an utterly worthless thing, useful only for committing crimes and for fleecing the stupid. The sooner it dies the better.

Hey now...gold also does some pretty cool chemistry (once you manage to oxidized it)

what an interesting theory! But I guess it's not fair to assume anything until some unknown court holds a trial over it, amirite?
