Awe, the fact that people are angry about you supporting a petty little crook hurts your feelings? Skate it off. And I believe his grandmother was Ukrainian, but perhaps they just didn’t get along. /s
That headline is a bit misleading. Reading the article, the Iraq Sesame Street is in the “wasteful” category. The “dangerous” category includes funds to Afghanistan to improve and rebuild irrigation canals to encourage farmers to grow food instead of poppies - which backfired and just led to more poppy growing - and funding to medical groups that ended up funding Chinese military and Communist Party programs in Wuhan, and encouraging tourism to Libya - that currently has a recommendation against visiting due to safety concerns for tourists.
As far as the Sesame Street version, of course they are going to see that as wasteful. They don’t believe in funding Sesame Street in America.
The frick’s he doing skiing?
He’s supposed to be golfing!
This just in:
I thought he was supposed to be caddying. You know, taking care of felon47’s balls.
I mean, this might be a schadenfreude situation, or it might be how someone bribed the Trumps.
I’ve heard of Crypto Currency being used for money laundering ( I might even have read about it here ). It’s just one reason I don’t want Pumpkinhead to link the Treasury to some Crypto scam.
Okay, I’ve read that a whale took a dump or something three time – once up thread and twice on the link – and I still don’t have the first clue what any of it means.
“Whale” = big-time investor.
“Dump” = they bought $30 million of Melania’s cryptocoin in January, then sold it off (“dumped” it) at a net loss of over $15 million a month later.
I actually sussed that out, but … what does it mean? I mean, why do I care? Who did he fuck over? I don’t get meme-coins. Why, back in my day memes were just fun little cat cartoons on Live Journal. AND WE LIKED IT!!
It’s insider trading for techbros.
I read it not so much that he “fucked over” anyone, so much as that he bailed out on the Melania coins, despite taking a big loss, because he believed that the value was going to drop further (and, thus, getting out before taking an even bigger loss).
But, either way, the guy lost $15 million in a month due to buying Melania cybercoins, so still a subject of some schadenfreude.
Unless - again - this was someone (like, say, Saudis) transferring wealth to the Trumps in a untrackable way.
Right. Who was selling the coins that Dale the Whale was buying? Did his money go right into the ICO, or did he create his position coin by coin? And who provided the liquidity to allow him to sell? Was the series of transactions a wash that simply moved $15 million from Dale’s pocket to someone else’s?
Argentina’s meme coin was done by the same people behind Melania’s coin. They are scammers, or at least scammers are involved with the projects. Coffeezilla did an informative report on them:
Heh. Made my day! Just sent it to two Federal employees I know.
This is a man who finally realized he has sold his soul to the devil. Too late, little Marco, too late. Enjoy your time in hell.
That made me laugh.
Probably posted elsewhere (getting harder to keep up!)
Never knew there’d come the day I’d be cheering for China over the US.
If only just the asshole Americans could deal with that. Ponywish #2,317
