I read a piece of DeSantis last year that argued that his appeal outside of Florida and a very Trumpian base is pretty slim, and that winning a general election would be difficult for him. That said, I thought the piece generally underestimated how well DeSantis has taken the Trump playbook and run with it. He’s good…

Yep. Not sure he’s sexy enough for Tucker Carlson, though.

I just erased it from my mind and here you come messin’ with my head. ;)

Why, whatever do you mean???

Yes, it’s why he stands like the front half of a centaur.

Does anyone else remember the white boots DeSantis wore after Ian? The man stays “new boot goofin’”.

I imagine Trump’s self-reported height is about as honest as his self-reported intelligence.

He was the best casting decision they made in Highlander, that’s for damn sure.

Why won’t they go around? My guess: Because they don’t want to spend the money and they’d rather destroy the fossils.

I just love it when people who put their money in crypto because they didn’t trust the big bad government and its “fiat money” are suddenly begging uncle Sam to help them get their fiat money back when the scammer who convinced them to invest in crypto makes off with their life savings.

It seems to me that if he tried to accept a quick plea, the prosecutors would make it a condition of the plea bargain that he had to reveal all his assets and then watch him really closely when he gets out. If he starts buying villas in non-extradition countries and yachts three months after he is out, they know he…

By vanished, they mean severe devaluing of crypto combined with a lot of it was stolen to buy big ass houses.

This POS did not deserve the opportunity to settle as this was a huge scheme he and the rest of his crew thought they could get away with.  This guy suckered investors and politicians into believing he was going to be doing so much good or making them money.  Now they will never see that money again or look bad for…

It would seem that the most practical way to address this is to only consider actual USD that entered the FTX system as “currency”, and to consider any crypto tokens as $0 USD. Counting crypto as actual “money” just obscures the truth. So, if you invested $10M in USD, you are a creditor of that amount. Whatever these…
