I know who the someone is…

Love the Crypto takedown. You and I have talked about this before. Now start investing in it so I can short it…whatever the hell “shorting it” means…

SBF’s creepy little crypto-wench is kind of fascinating. On the one hand, she may have actually been his first and only lay, and on the other hand she looks like every 22-year-old, pandemic-loving, mask-dependent, aspiring cat lady who likes to tell her one friend on the internet about how she “literally owns more cats and books than tea bags, if you can believe that tee-hee.” I guess there’s no real tension there, and maybe “fascinating” was overselling it. Ok, definitely overselling it. Oh well.

The only think I can think about is robbing idiots. It apparently super easy 😂

I mean, can you believe people gave those people their money?

Fun read Virgil. SBF is Victor Lustig dressed up as Freddy Benson (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095031/).

The reason the super rich and powerful fall for these scams is they face tremendous conformity pressure. Can't question anything. Even if they suspected a scam, they can't say it if everyone else is falling for it. They're the best marks.

As for the gay thing, the Republican Party is just very, very, very stupid. Same can be said on the abortion issue. The Republicans could have taken all of the SC ruling by simply stating in unison that they don't support complete bans on abortion (because that's what 99.9% of Americans agree with). But they are too dumb to do that.

I also agree on the abortion issue... but at least the abortion issue could be a GOP win if they were able to moderate themselves (around 80% of the country supports 15 weeks). The gay issue is an absolute, no chance, complete and total loser of an issue for conservatives.

I am in my 40's. I was around and involved in libertarian and conservative politics back when it really was a front page issue. Bush ran in 2004 on a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage and by 2006 & 2008 had lost the majority in both houses and the White House in part because American attitudes about gays had radically changed from just a few years before.

Like I said in the article... this is a bad bad bad issue for Republicans. They can't win talking about it. It's smart of the Dems to try to bring it back up and for the life of me, I can't understand why conservatives are taking the bait.

Anyway, thanks for reading and commenting! I hope you stick around!

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is my favorite!

But I kind of disagree. I don’t think he’s that smart. Just a douche who is happy to steal and probably knows enough by now to hide the money he stashed before it all came crumbling down.

I couldn’t respect anyone less I do Sam.
