Never took you for a trumpy
As World Liberty Financial raised more than half a billion dollars, President Donald Trump’s family took control of the crypto venture and grabbed the lion’s share of those funds, aided by governance terms that industry experts say favor insiders. Launched last fall, World Liberty’s goal is to allow people to access financial services using cryptocurrencies and without intermediaries like banks in what is called decentralized finance, or DeFi. But it has yet to launch a public platform and has reported only a small staff, a review of the project shows.
https://www.reuters.com/business/fi...ncial-it-raised-hundreds-millions-2025-03-31/Overall, the Trump family now has a claim on 75% of net revenues from token sales and 60% from World Liberty operations once the core business gets going. The arrangement means the Trump family is currently entitled to about $400 million in fees. After World Liberty's co-founders take their cut, the crypto venture will be left with 5% of the $550 million raised to date to build the platform, according to Reuters calculations.
My argument was never about trump being better though.Like trumps doing any different. He wants to flatten Gaza and build a resort ffs
I'll bet my house you've never read a positive post from me about trump.Never took you for a trumpy
I’ll take your word for it.I'll bet my house you've never read a positive post from me about trump.
In terms of making money, being president is the ultimate grift. Unbelievable that folks will still stick by him as they get poorerDrain the swamp?

You didn't need to, your consistent take was that voting for Harris was votibg for a genocide, in a 2 horse race that's a de facto endorsement of the opponent, plenty of posters told you that voting for Harris was the lesser of 2 evils but you wouldn't countenance thatI'll bet my house you've never read a positive post from me about trump.
That is fair enough.I don't think its stupidity (although with Trump that is always a possibility), I suspect Trump thinks he has something on Putin, or something to exert pressure if Putin doesn't go along with 'the deal' that he is proposing.
Just what the 'something' could be is anyone's guess, but its more likely to be financial muscle rather than military muscle that Trump has in mind for leverage.
Trump is probably following a strategy of "never give a sucker and even break"... trouble is Putin may not have heard that one before.... dangerous times indeed!
fecked up thing about all this is is that he makes a lot of people very wealthy, including his entire family, over the backs of every taxpayer in this country and once again the own the libs people are actually cheering it on or flat out ignoring it. This is exactly what they claim the Dems do. This also ensures big money influencing politics will be and will increasingly be a massive problem for this country.Drain the swamp?

When both candidates stand for genocide, how is voting for one an endorsement of it?I will accept that argument if you accept that you personally endorse genocide because you voted for harris. Are you willing to do that? Do you think it makes sense?
Personally I can hate two genocidal scumbags at the same time.
The same way not voting for one is an endorsement of the other.When both candidates stand for genocide, how is voting for one an endorsement of it?
The same way not voting for one is an endorsement of the other.
My point is that both are ridiculous accusations to throw.
Are you happier with the state of the country (and the world for that matter) right now than you think you would have been under a Harris presidency?
'They both do it so it doesn't count' is not a logic that holds up very well, if the two candidates claimed they were child rapists and would continue the rapes throughout their presidency nobody would be expected to vote for them because of harm mitigation or anything like that.When both candidates stand for genocide, how is voting for one an endorsement of it?
I dunno, I remember people in the election thread saying they had no red lines as long as trump was on the other side.'They both do it so it doesn't count' is not a logic that holds up very well, if the two candidates claimed they were child rapists and would continue the rapes throughout their presidency nobody would be expected to vote for them because of harm mitigation or anything like that.
Of course not.

The passiveness of americans.Next question. Has what happened since Trump took over come as a complete surprise to you?
To make that analogy work, one of them would have to continue to rape children and spend their weekends queer-bashing and lynching black people. Assuming both parties rape the exact same number of children then you’d be morally bankrupt to not vote for the other candidate.
It’s a shitty anecdote but the right thing to do was so fecking obvious, whichever way you spin it.
Every time it happens, take note of which side does it.we do this about every two weeks now
Of course not.
Not voting was also a choice. People have all sorts of moral red lines.Which was as predictable as the result of not voting, which is why people struggle to understand it.
I get the moral dilemma, but the choice was binary.
Wow, bold... you'd be morally bankrupt if you didn't vote for the rapist.
I don't know why you find analogies so difficult.
In reality, neither candidate is raping children.
Although one of them really is a rapist.
I don't agree but that's OK. Different systems of morality and all. On a broader level you have to understand that this kind of rhetorical position is not only unpersuasive, it is actively repellent to many people.Assuming both parties rape the exact same number of children then you’d be morally bankrupt to not vote for the other candidate.
Of course not.
Replace rape with genocide and it's not an analogy anymore.
You believe I am morally bankrupt for not voting for a genocide supporter.
That I struggle with.
Yale ‘Fascism Scholar’ Announces On MSNBC He’s Leaving the US for Canada Before Trump Starts ‘Pulling People’s Passports’
Yale University philosophy professor Jason Stanley told MSNBC Monday he is leaving his homeland for Canada while he still can, claiming the Trump administration could try to prevent him from traveling at some point.
The school’s “fascism scholar” joined the network’s Monday edition of Ana Cabrera Reports to disclose he had taken a pay cut to head for more northerly pastures.
Stanley said that the Trump administration’s targeting of anti-Semitic protestors on university campuses was not as it appears and that Jewish academics such as himself will become the real targets.
I didn't vote for Harris nor did I vote for TrumpI will accept that argument if you accept that you personally endorse genocide because you voted for harris. Are you willing to do that? Do you think it makes sense?
Personally I can hate two genocidal scumbags at the same time.
I saw similar concern in a segment on msnbc last week about the possibility of civil war.https://www.mediaite.com/tv/yale-fa...efore-trump-starts-pulling-peoples-passports/
I can see why people found it so hard to make decisions when the first wave of fascism came about. This sounds crazy, but is it really? Someone that spends their entire life in this academic specialisation is this concerned. Could he be wrong, sure. But what if he isn't?
Not to mention that it was always 100% obvious that Trump would be even worse for Palestinians. Trump loves a low bar that he couldn't reach, even if he gave a big enough feck to try.Like trumps doing any different. He wants to flatten Gaza and build a resort ffs
He's been talking about this more and more over the last couple of weeks. Surely there isn't even the remotest chance this could happen, is there?![]()
Meanwhile the damage to people's lives is continuing to mount up. How on earth can this be allowed to continue to happen? Of course now he's accused of being a member of MS-13 and of course the report is fake news and the reporter was making it up. Honestly, I can't see how the US can ever get back from this.
Not voting was also a choice. People have all sorts of moral red lines.
