Jeff, Bitcoin… well I agree with you bc only criminals use bitcoins…mobsters, drug dealers, money launderers etc… you get my point…would never invest in that “alternative” currency…. BTW.. love that Lucy clip..never gets old.👍
Cryptocurrency is anathema to climate security, infrastructure security, corporate data security (data theft/ransom payments), and all manner of controlling the growth of international crime syndicates like those who may want to bribe some otherwise safe democracies. IT'S INSANITY. I just can't.
That Lucy clip makes me think of my late mom and how she laughed hysterically at that scene. The restaurants had to close on Monday nights because everyone was home watching “Lucy.”
I hope you notice that most criminals deal in cash (but you and I are not criminals, mobsters, drug dealers, money launderers, etc), and 16% of ALL Americans invest in cryptocurrency. Certainly you do not believe that so many Americans are criminals?
One does not preclude the other. I'm sure you care about many things including voting blue. Your family? Your healthcare? If it wasn't for my job, I would not have had to learn about cryptocurrency. When I did learn about it, I discovered that the black and white thinking of some was inaccurate.
Here's what you need to know. One bitcoin is worth $66,747.70, which is $25872.21 more than one year ago today. Had you invested any amount, say $100 (for a fraction of one coin), you could sell your investment for a 163.7% profit. It did better than Apple stock.
Ask a worker if they would accept bitcoin instead of dollars for their labor. The grocery store won't accept it. The liquor store won't accept it. The bank won't allow it to be deposited.
The fact that Donald endorses it is direct proof that it isn't worth a shit.
One bitcoin is worth $66,747.70. Last I checked, tulips are about $15-$20 a dozen. I have no idea what DJT stock is worth today, but I know it's worth much less than when it was purchased. Your equation is inaccurate.
What do these things have in common? They are all Manias. See Tulipmania in Holland in 1633. Things have a market value--what someone is willing to pay for it. And an intrinsic value. Your observation shows market prices. Which is an excellent illustration of my point. But the intrinsic value of DJT stock, Bitcoin and a tulip bulb are all about the same. Not much. None of them produce any cash flow, have no saleable assets on a liquidation and have no value if a buyer doesn't show up on a given day.
I agree with you. If you study monetary systems, they are based on a shared belief that X = Something. We all have green paper in our wallets and AGREE that $1 = $1 worth of a service or product. You've seen other economies collapse when an entire society devalues their currency. (Ask those with Confederate dollars! Although, if your family held on to them they'd be worth quite a bit among collectors!!) The same may indeed happen with crypto. The fact that DJT Stock plummeted had much to do with what was backing it up, which was virtually nothing. But all of this probably does not stop you from investing in stocks or suggesting to others that its all a scam. And, I agree, stocks are usually backed by "real" things like products, property, intellectual capital that can be sold.
I forgot about Trump Money! How many Trump dollars can you buy with one Bitcoin? A lot, I expect. For now. Trump dollars = tulips = DJT stock = Bitcoin
I I read about a woman who pulled up to the checkout line at her local Walmart with a cart full of stuff and tried to pay for it with a One-Million-dollar bill. There is no such thing.
I sure won't mainly because I don't really understand how Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency works, what makes it valuable, or how you invest in/with it.
I mean, your average American is both like, and not like, Whatshisname. We don't really understand how it works, or in most cases even what it is. But, we DO understand it isn't actually mined out of the ground like coal.
I do understand it. I know how to write smart contracts for another funny-money called Ethereum. I was writing cryptography software at Microsoft before anyone ever heard of this crap.
The first time someone told me about cryptocurrencies it took me less than a second to figure out that its value was all based on a con. I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.
Quantum computing is going to make them valueless overnight.
Not me! It's a market built on intangibles that could have been tailor-made to sell expensive computer setups with good graphics capabilities, even ignoring its use as the perfect currency for illegal transactions. It's also a frivolous use of power. I'm not inclined to give up the computing equipment I use to do my job and keep up with the grandkids (and Substack lol) but it's increasingly stupid for us to waste resources we will need to survive on just to make tech bros even more insanely wealthy.
(disclaimer: I did try out bitcoin mining back in the early 2010s -- barely broke even with the cost of the power it took to run it; have a virtual wallet with maybe a few hundred $ in it that I lost access to several years ago when the company that issued it went out of business. At least that bit of education didn't cost me a lot to acquire.)
No. I’m with you. In fact I’m kind of at the deep dark end of your thought … meaning … I suspect my feelings have a lot to do with ignorance as to how Bitcoin works. But I have a fear that, if the “brainless ones” who are fucking everything up really get enough of a stronghold and unleash cryptocurrency to its fullest, that will TRULY be the end of things. Maybe that’s because Moscow Marge talks a lot about it … I dunno. But I can’t get past the feeling that it’s buying/selling air. Of course, a lot of what’s happening now financially is just air. We see less and less of “real” money all the time. Was it ever “real”? Will crypto take us way far afield from “here are my promised 12 fresh eggs for your promised basket of potatoes” to “dude, I have no idea”?
There’s way too much “dude, I have no idea” floating around.
You won’t hear it from me but my son thinks it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. Even after his first plunge into bitcoin saw him get ripped off, he still has bitcoin. It’s probably the only thing we disagree on so I shut up and count myself lucky. At least we agree politically and most other things.
You won’t get it from me. I have seen their spam in my emails & that's enough for me to be so suspicious that anyone who tries to get me involved gets blocked instead. It’s a scam as far as I am concerned.
Sadly not entirely positive, though mifepristone is safe for the moment. Sadly & characteristically, they left open the door to bringing the case under Comstock (interstate commerce).
Totally agree. I also fear they’re throwing us a bone before they drop their immunity decision and then flee to their benefactors’ private islands or wherever.
The 3 Justices that are not part of this Christo-fascist group are ruining their legacies. I am losing respect for even them as they could have spoken out about these travesties of Alito and Thomas and have urged them to recuse. Their silence is deafening.
You know it is the acronym for the fucking former convicted felon guy…but now that I have actually written it out I need to correct it. He’s a current convicted felon. Needs to be TFCFFG! Thanks for your attention! lol
What this "mifepristone" decision is simply punts the whole abortion issue. I've read the decision: it is an upholding of standing that one could already read on Wikipedia or in a Civ Pro textbook. Nice to have it on file, but not exactly earthshaking.
Not entirely positive, but the best we could have hoped for from this court. I'm actually a little surprised that Alito broke his streak of never denying standing to conservative litigants. I guess that would have been too much of a stretch for even him.
IANAL, but. Deciding this case on lack of standing leaves a big, gaping hole for the fetus people to drive right through. Let's start with regulatory power over government agencies, like the FDA, which regulates mifepristone. Or misapplication of legislation that's from the 19th century, like the Comstock Act.
We're far, far, far from being out of the woods here. We've all been thrown a bone until after the election. Then, just wait and see until the shit hits the fan. It will not be pretty.
I’m glad they did that but I don’t trust their reasoning. I feel like it was to pacify voters because they saw how their Dobbs decision affected elections. Even worse, I fear it’s to soften the blow when they announce that
The judgement was based on legal standing to bring the matter to the court. Nothing on the rights of women to their own bodies. That decision comes later.
Limited victory. Look at what the justices wrote in their opinions. AFTER the election, if they can find a better reason, they WILL remove Mifipristone from just about everyone in the USA. Even the words "Comstock Law" were bandied, FFS. Be afraid. And VOTE BLUE at every opportunity. This cancer on our nation must be removed!
Totally true. Intelligent people would listen to what The Rump is saying, and think to themselves, “What the hell is this moron, talking about”?Not our MAGAs.
They pound their fists up in the air, shouting, “go RUMP go! go RUMP go!”
I listened to almost all of his Las Vegas rally. He does not sound “weak,” but self-centered in the extreme, and pig-ignorant. He did an impression of Joe Biden bent over and hobbling and looking clueless. Crowd loved it. Claimed Biden embarrassed the country in Europe at recent ceremonies. I have no idea what that one was about.
I think I heard the crowd chant “Bullshit” after he showed them how.
This was all before the electrocution vs. shark dilemma and his vow to abolish electric trucks and boats. (The boats which have to go 90 miles offshore before they can use their electric engines. Or something.) Oh, and having a windmill visible from your house would halve its value.
That is also why I coined him...Pigeye. look around him, he has that scary animal-like cleverness but you wouldn't turn your back on a feral pig, would you?
The strange case of pigeye Trump with the soft, fleshy anus- mouth.
About his mouth. . . his attempt to smile disgusts me as much as the look of that mouth. The words spewing forth are the problem. Before him, I never fantasized hitting anyone in the teeth with a hammer.
He does make you want to, does he not! Absolutely disgusting and dangerous criminal-I hope he falls off the stage and self-terminates himself. Thee end.
Fran Lebowitz nailed it: "Everyone says he is crazy – which maybe he is – but the scarier thing about him is that he is stupid. You do not know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump. You just don’t.”
If it doesn’t have anything to do with accumulating more wealth or enriching the Trump brand, beyond complete ignorance, he simply doesn’t care. When your closest advisors call you an f’ing idiot, publicly and repeatedly, there’s not much else to say.
We need one of his former staff--no, MANY of his former staff--to come out and say "Trump is a fucking idiot." And tell stories. On whatever platform they want.
They won’t because they care more about their post-retirement earning power and don’t want to lose their lucrative board seats, speech engagements and lobbying contracts. Greed always wins with Republicans.
Well, I’m a nurse, and I know shit about shit. And I’m pretty sure that he’s paying someone to wipe his ass and help him with his Depends. I don’t want a president who can’t wipe his own ass.
Shit for brains Donny did ask a very important question though, and one that has never been asked before. I can’t be the only one who has spent the last couple of years wondering if I visited the shark infested ocean surrounding Las Vegas and rented a battery powered boat, would I stay in the boat as it sunk and get electrocuted or jump overboard and get eaten by sharks. I’ll check with an MIT professor and pay him in bitcoin.
As someone who has listened to thousands of briefings, i can tell you that when the expert says “no one ever asked that question before” it is not a compliment. it means he/she has never briefed anyone stupid enough to ask a question as dumb as that one. it’s a way to keep from laughing.
one of my professors said that the dumbest people are the ones who think they know everything so they never need to learn anything.
"Dunning Kruger", less intelligent people overestimate their knowledge ,and capabilities, while intelligent people know you can't be an expert in everything, so they tend to underestimate them.
Not for anything, but batteries don't generate power, they store it. So it is not possible to be electrocuted by a wet battery. The battery will simply die.
Bitcoins are touted as an emergency currency, but if there is a REAL emergency, the electric grid will go down and bitcoins will either cease to exist or cease to be operable as long as the emergency exists.
Makes you feel sorry for the stupid shits doesn't it?
So, since the Clinton era, this country has had huge vulnerabilities to foreign and domestic sabotage in its energy infrastructure. Any chance Trump the Treasonous is pumping for greater energy-intensive bitcoin investment to please Vlad so that we can exponentially compound those vulnerabilities?
Dumber than a bag of dicks still has me laughing. The very idea that this felonious moronic asshole believes Bitcoins are mined from the ground further supports his rapid decline upstairs and his IQ of a houseplant as the cheese continues to rapidly fall off the cracker. It was also reported this morning on Twitter that the GOP behind closed doors is increasingly concerned about his mental state after his sharks and electricity rant. Whether this matters or not with these shitful twisted cultists remains to been seen but it makes you wonder, WTF is taking them so long?
He's meeting with congressional Repukes today. Maybe he will impress them with his jacked-up craziness. Maybe MTG will be able to grab him by the crotch. Who knows? What we do know is that there will be lots of accordion hands.
I caught a glimpse of three toes marg on the ‘news’ this afternoon and she looked like she was experiencing an orgasm after the meeting with tfcffg … I had it muted while I was on the phone but ewwww
nothing more hypocritical from the vile orange shitstain than YELLING IN CAPS for "all the remaining bitcoin to be MADE IN THE USA", when his stupid fucking red nazi MAGAt hats are fucking made in China!!...but then "hypocrisy" has been redefined by the spineless integrityless traitors of today's GQP!
Every single thing that he and his daughter have was made in china. She tried to stop them from allowing the people there to not wear her clothes and I laughed at her because you don’t tell the producers not to try their own products! Well maybe the ones that make those ridiculous long ties.
No they are not and they are crooked as hell, her and her husband have sold America out. The good thing is that the Chinese government doesn’t trust America especially the trumps. So I would not worry about that?
My fantasy for the day....someone in the mainstream media grows a pair and starts a daily newsletter called "Stupid J. McFuckingidiotvonshitzinpantz's Latest Fuckpile of Dumb Translated" They'd get paid a shit ton of money because this is a monumental load of work...it took Jeff 15 paragraphs to unpack 5 lines of an incoherent post, to say nothing of the mental trauma of the task. Anyway, I say MSM because the public needs to know exactly how dangerous this vile piece of shit is to our country and they need to know it before the election...maybe it would wake some people up. OK, like I said, it's a fantasy, but a girl can dream.
The public needs to be able to watch the shitshow because accounts in the MSM don't record the slurred words, the hesitating, and the repitition. Too often they try to make something coherent out of his wandering nonsequitors, and it makes him sound normal.
Agreed, MSM really treats this like a normal race with 2 normal political candidates. They completely ignore that one is a raving lunatic idiot sliding into dementia who wants to be a dictator.
That’s what everyone says but when I do that my options are either “share”, “hide” or “report”. I’ve never seen an edit option on my phone app. The I Pad app used to show an edit option, but even that’s gone now.
Ha, ha. We knew what you meant. The whole idea of consuming energy is interesting. It is not something that I ever gave a thought to. I'm consuming energy right now, but it's positive energy.
I thought Don the Con had already hit the jackpot of stupid things he has said, but this gibberish has so much idiotic false information that it now rises to the top of his shitpile of stupidity. I hope the dummy is heavily invested in Crypto so when it finally implodes it will help him to his 7th Bankruptcy.
I bet Donnie Dumbfuck thinks Dogecoin is pooped out by dogs. Which considering the amount of pollution created by Bitcoin would make it a better option.
A dogecoin trades for 14 cents, so they're actually worth about the same as a share of trump's DJT will be when the moron starts selling his gifted shares in Sept.
I am genuinely curious to find out what percentage of my readership is going to yell at me for not being pro-bitcoin
Nah, I wouldn't count on many. Bitcoin is a goddamn scam, imo.
Jeff, Bitcoin… well I agree with you bc only criminals use bitcoins…mobsters, drug dealers, money launderers etc… you get my point…would never invest in that “alternative” currency…. BTW.. love that Lucy clip..never gets old.👍
It's legalized money laundering. Period.
No, it's not. Period.
Saying period does not prove anything, period.
You're right about that! I couldn't help myself. :)
It's been called the Postmodern Ponzi scheme. The wet dream of scammers and grifters.
Cryptocurrency is anathema to climate security, infrastructure security, corporate data security (data theft/ransom payments), and all manner of controlling the growth of international crime syndicates like those who may want to bribe some otherwise safe democracies. IT'S INSANITY. I just can't.
That Lucy clip makes me think of my late mom and how she laughed hysterically at that scene. The restaurants had to close on Monday nights because everyone was home watching “Lucy.”
I loved that episode! It always made me crave See's Candy... :)
See’s candy…yum!
My grandma would travel to Phoenix from Missouri to visit and bring back See's- one of my favorite memories.
I almost forgot- that was also on Ozark Airlines.
I hope you notice that most criminals deal in cash (but you and I are not criminals, mobsters, drug dealers, money launderers, etc), and 16% of ALL Americans invest in cryptocurrency. Certainly you do not believe that so many Americans are criminals?
Bitcoin is one of the few topics I’m actually glad to be ignorant about.
I’m glad I’ve got company. I don’t understand it, and I don’t intend to waste precious time figuring it out.
It's not that difficult to understand. But if you don't plan to invest in it, then I suppose there is no need to learn more about it.
I’m 84. I don’t have the time to care about it. There are far more important things I should be doing, like getting people to vote blue.
One does not preclude the other. I'm sure you care about many things including voting blue. Your family? Your healthcare? If it wasn't for my job, I would not have had to learn about cryptocurrency. When I did learn about it, I discovered that the black and white thinking of some was inaccurate.
I agree, however, I’m on a fixed income, and would never risk what I have on an unknown investment. I live SS check to check.
me too!
Me three!
Here's what you need to know. One bitcoin is worth $66,747.70, which is $25872.21 more than one year ago today. Had you invested any amount, say $100 (for a fraction of one coin), you could sell your investment for a 163.7% profit. It did better than Apple stock.
I don't need to know that but thanks.
Not me, I think crypto is just a big scam
Bitcoin = tulips = DJT stock
Ask a worker if they would accept bitcoin instead of dollars for their labor. The grocery store won't accept it. The liquor store won't accept it. The bank won't allow it to be deposited.

Just not before every MAGA nitwit has bought lots and lots of it--and Trump cash, too!

Or as the character played by John Hawkes in Deadwood says, "the day ain't fucking over".
Sadly not entirely positive, though mifepristone is safe for the moment. Sadly & characteristically, they left open the door to bringing the case under Comstock (interstate commerce).
They are throwing us a bone until after the election .Then all bets are off.Untrustworthy fucks, all of them.
Totally agree. I also fear they’re throwing us a bone before they drop their immunity decision and then flee to their benefactors’ private islands or wherever.
That's what I thought. It happened on the day Trump is in DC getting blowjobs from Republicans.
🎯🎯🎯
I also agree. I think they are “buttering” us up for the shitstorm that’s about to drop. All but three are pieces of rancid shit.
The 3 Justices that are not part of this Christo-fascist group are ruining their legacies. I am losing respect for even them as they could have spoken out about these travesties of Alito and Thomas and have urged them to recuse. Their silence is deafening.
Exactly, 💯% agree with you, Victoria. !
Actually, these “gifts to the Dems come just before they bench slap us. Wait for it.
I am past menopause and had to have a D&C, and had to use the Mifepristone before hand so it is not just used to terminate a pregnancy.
... just like most of the other procedures used to treat pregnant women for things that might kill or incapacitate them.
Yes, those of us who are living in reality know this. Sad there are so many ignoratti among us.
Every time I try to understand what the fuck tffcfg is saying or posting, my brain breaks. Thanks Jeff for interrupting it all for me and all of us.

Yeah. I didn’t like their “standing”reason. That’s always too wishy-washy. Just re-jigger and bring it back.

Harry Litman said pretty much the same thing when the court decided to take the case and during arguments.
I’m glad they did that but I don’t trust their reasoning. I feel like it was to pacify voters because they saw how their Dobbs decision affected elections. Even worse, I fear it’s to soften the blow when they announce that
oops.. when they announce that the shit pile of stupid is, indeed, above the law.
Thought the same! A legal bone.
my theory is that theyll wait until after the election or even the inauguration to rule that
biden wins: no immunity
trump wins: immunity and deification — jan 21, 2025
And they ruled in favor of Starbucks in the labor case. Boo
The judgement was based on legal standing to bring the matter to the court. Nothing on the rights of women to their own bodies. That decision comes later.
yep. And a nice recitation of existing law it certainly is.
This was just a procedural ruling. The real question was side-stepped for another go around
For now. Someone will go back and get better plaintiffs.
The ADF the ones using he Amarillo Asshole judge as the legal equivalent of an ATM.
Just saw this -- good news! even if it might not last... also, FUCK MATTHEW KACSMARYK AND THE HORSE HE SLEEPS WITH.
Apparently this decision’s wording will make further efforts to take this to court very difficult.
Yes, plaintiffs have show that they were personally harmed by the drug.
Limited victory. Look at what the justices wrote in their opinions. AFTER the election, if they can find a better reason, they WILL remove Mifipristone from just about everyone in the USA. Even the words "Comstock Law" were bandied, FFS. Be afraid. And VOTE BLUE at every opportunity. This cancer on our nation must be removed!
I was wrong. I really expected them to ban the drugs.
...for now.

I read from a person who actually attended the rally held prior to Vegas that 10 minutes into his speech half the crowd was leaving.
That is also why I coined him...Pigeye. look around him, he has that scary animal-like cleverness but you wouldn't turn your back on a feral pig, would you?
The strange case of pigeye Trump with the soft, fleshy anus- mouth.
About his mouth. . . his attempt to smile disgusts me as much as the look of that mouth. The words spewing forth are the problem. Before him, I never fantasized hitting anyone in the teeth with a hammer.
He does make you want to, does he not! Absolutely disgusting and dangerous criminal-I hope he falls off the stage and self-terminates himself. Thee end.
Ditto
Even "W" Bush said that at Orangina's inauguration speech. "That was some weird shit."
Fran Lebowitz nailed it: "Everyone says he is crazy – which maybe he is – but the scarier thing about him is that he is stupid. You do not know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump. You just don’t.”
I love Fran!
Dumber than a bag of hammers!
Sorry, but hammers are way smarter.
Thanks Jeff.
If it doesn’t have anything to do with accumulating more wealth or enriching the Trump brand, beyond complete ignorance, he simply doesn’t care. When your closest advisors call you an f’ing idiot, publicly and repeatedly, there’s not much else to say.
Well, Rex Tillerson called him a ‘fucking moron’.
Yes. “Rexxon” Tillerson. He might deny climate change. But there is no denying the depths of Trump ignorance.
What exactly happened to Rex? It is like he left the Earth.
Are temperatures on Mars inexplicably rising? 🤓
We need one of his former staff--no, MANY of his former staff--to come out and say "Trump is a fucking idiot." And tell stories. On whatever platform they want.
Indeed. It would definitely help. As well as some of the GOP election officials who were threatened with personal lawsuits, arrest, and violence.
Unless they are all on Fox News, Sinclair and OAN, the maggot will not hear this.
They won’t because they care more about their post-retirement earning power and don’t want to lose their lucrative board seats, speech engagements and lobbying contracts. Greed always wins with Republicans.

John Kelly, the " suckers & losers "
quote by Stinky was reported by him
That's because his advisors that said that, were mostly evil, not stupid.
Amen.
Well, I’m a nurse, and I know shit about shit. And I’m pretty sure that he’s paying someone to wipe his ass and help him with his Depends. I don’t want a president who can’t wipe his own ass.
Shit for brains Donny did ask a very important question though, and one that has never been asked before. I can’t be the only one who has spent the last couple of years wondering if I visited the shark infested ocean surrounding Las Vegas and rented a battery powered boat, would I stay in the boat as it sunk and get electrocuted or jump overboard and get eaten by sharks. I’ll check with an MIT professor and pay him in bitcoin.
I know it’s always a concern of mine, right up there with alien landings. I’m glad it’s on SOMEONE’S radar!
May I join you? Sounds like boatloads of fun 😂😂.
Yes. There is room for two.
I just guffawed so loud that I startled the dogs, thanks!
As someone who has listened to thousands of briefings, i can tell you that when the expert says “no one ever asked that question before” it is not a compliment. it means he/she has never briefed anyone stupid enough to ask a question as dumb as that one. it’s a way to keep from laughing.
one of my professors said that the dumbest people are the ones who think they know everything so they never need to learn anything.
"Dunning Kruger", less intelligent people overestimate their knowledge ,and capabilities, while intelligent people know you can't be an expert in everything, so they tend to underestimate them.
Not for anything, but batteries don't generate power, they store it. So it is not possible to be electrocuted by a wet battery. The battery will simply die.
Speaking of which...
Boats always have had batteries on board and they get wet. Besides, if sharks are nearby,,they’d be dead, too.
😆😆😆
It's frightening and incredibly depressing how fucking dumb nearly half the grotesque fucktards in this banana republic truly are.
There are t-shirts that say I’d rather vote for the Felon for 34 reasons. Why don’t they say I’d rather vote for a rapist too?
Shockingly, I expect that is because too many MAGAts do not accept the fact that rape is a crime.
What actual humans call a crime, those diseased-ridden fucks consider a leisure activity........
Yep. Demon ridden and/or psychopathic low life.
Oh, those sub-human fucks LOVE rape!!!!!
until it happens to them
FEMALE REPELLENTS
I think I liked it better when they kept quiet, and stayed under their rocks.
Bitcoins are touted as an emergency currency, but if there is a REAL emergency, the electric grid will go down and bitcoins will either cease to exist or cease to be operable as long as the emergency exists.
Makes you feel sorry for the stupid shits doesn't it?
Nope!!
So, since the Clinton era, this country has had huge vulnerabilities to foreign and domestic sabotage in its energy infrastructure. Any chance Trump the Treasonous is pumping for greater energy-intensive bitcoin investment to please Vlad so that we can exponentially compound those vulnerabilities?
Nope.
*Almost* makes you feel sorry for the stupid shits.
Still laughing, Jeff! Trump is the Johnny Appleseed of Stoopid!
Dumber than a bag of dicks still has me laughing. The very idea that this felonious moronic asshole believes Bitcoins are mined from the ground further supports his rapid decline upstairs and his IQ of a houseplant as the cheese continues to rapidly fall off the cracker. It was also reported this morning on Twitter that the GOP behind closed doors is increasingly concerned about his mental state after his sharks and electricity rant. Whether this matters or not with these shitful twisted cultists remains to been seen but it makes you wonder, WTF is taking them so long?
He's meeting with congressional Repukes today. Maybe he will impress them with his jacked-up craziness. Maybe MTG will be able to grab him by the crotch. Who knows? What we do know is that there will be lots of accordion hands.
Brilliant, Arne!
I caught a glimpse of three toes marg on the ‘news’ this afternoon and she looked like she was experiencing an orgasm after the meeting with tfcffg … I had it muted while I was on the phone but ewwww
Hey my house plants are doing great thank you and their IQ is much higher than trump’s!
Mine as well. Like him in all his ways, let's say artificial houseplants.
🤣🤣🤣
Houseplants have the ability to grow and adapt, neither of which #34 has.
presumably because they fear losing their next election. Yes, it’s disheartening and disgusting the GOP has jumped into the pig slop en masse.
They can all lose together and that’s good! Hell yeah rally around the diapered dude, don’t back down!
nothing more hypocritical from the vile orange shitstain than YELLING IN CAPS for "all the remaining bitcoin to be MADE IN THE USA", when his stupid fucking red nazi MAGAt hats are fucking made in China!!...but then "hypocrisy" has been redefined by the spineless integrityless traitors of today's GQP!
Every single thing that he and his daughter have was made in china. She tried to stop them from allowing the people there to not wear her clothes and I laughed at her because you don’t tell the producers not to try their own products! Well maybe the ones that make those ridiculous long ties.
What worries me is Icanka has patents from China on voting machines. Is anyone paying attention?
No they are not and they are crooked as hell, her and her husband have sold America out. The good thing is that the Chinese government doesn’t trust America especially the trumps. So I would not worry about that?
"hypocrisy has been redefined by the spineless traitors of the GQP" - and they've also made satire extinct.
“Fuckpile of Dumb” is my new “Basket of Deplorables”. 🤣🤣🤣
And there's an uncanny overlap between the two groups!
As a venn diagram, it would be a circle.
Tangle of fuckweasels was a Jeff-ism too, if I recall coirrectly.
🤣🤣🤣
My fantasy for the day....someone in the mainstream media grows a pair and starts a daily newsletter called "Stupid J. McFuckingidiotvonshitzinpantz's Latest Fuckpile of Dumb Translated" They'd get paid a shit ton of money because this is a monumental load of work...it took Jeff 15 paragraphs to unpack 5 lines of an incoherent post, to say nothing of the mental trauma of the task. Anyway, I say MSM because the public needs to know exactly how dangerous this vile piece of shit is to our country and they need to know it before the election...maybe it would wake some people up. OK, like I said, it's a fantasy, but a girl can dream.
Nicole Wallace and Joy Reid are thisclose to calling him that. Maybe their eyes say it
anything with Drumpf in it is
a nightmare, not a dream.
But you’ve got a great fantasy there
The public needs to be able to watch the shitshow because accounts in the MSM don't record the slurred words, the hesitating, and the repitition. Too often they try to make something coherent out of his wandering nonsequitors, and it makes him sound normal.
Agreed, MSM really treats this like a normal race with 2 normal political candidates. They completely ignore that one is a raving lunatic idiot sliding into dementia who wants to be a dictator.
Just the way their taxcut-loving owners want it!
I understand very little about cryptocurrency, but my first reaction to his post was, it consumes mast amounts of energy, it doesn’t create it. 🤦🏼♀️
*mass not mast
If you click the three dots in the lower right-hand corner of your post, you can correct your spelling.
I couldn’t find it before a meeting started.
That’s what everyone says but when I do that my options are either “share”, “hide” or “report”. I’ve never seen an edit option on my phone app. The I Pad app used to show an edit option, but even that’s gone now.
I read Jeff's substack on a laptop, so my experience may be different.
I don’t have it on my iPhone. Maybe it exists only on a computer.
That seems to be true.
Ha, ha. We knew what you meant. The whole idea of consuming energy is interesting. It is not something that I ever gave a thought to. I'm consuming energy right now, but it's positive energy.
Someone explained it to me a few months ago. I still think it’s imaginary money.
…or even vast.
I thought Don the Con had already hit the jackpot of stupid things he has said, but this gibberish has so much idiotic false information that it now rises to the top of his shitpile of stupidity. I hope the dummy is heavily invested in Crypto so when it finally implodes it will help him to his 7th Bankruptcy.
It may be how he is laundering away the campaign cash he doesn’t spend on lawyers.
You are probably right, Putin probably advised him to.
I bet Donnie Dumbfuck thinks Dogecoin is pooped out by dogs. Which considering the amount of pollution created by Bitcoin would make it a better option.
Wow! I could be rich then!
Same. My dog has dinosaur ones. 😂
A dogecoin trades for 14 cents, so they're actually worth about the same as a share of trump's DJT will be when the moron starts selling his gifted shares in Sept.
Lovely!!
