    The mystery is how anyone could be confused about any of this.

    It’s the most successful criminal enterprise in modern times.

    They have spread like cancer into every aspect of government and are corrupting American daily life.

    The only remedy available is

    Courts they corrupted this

    Voters box and this

    Opposition party resistance this corrupted itself mostly but there are enemies within as well

    It seems the only options left are “illegal”

    It’s cool tho. They’ll kill you and rape your daughter and force her to have their baby

    Because that’s their plan.

      It’s hard for me to justify illegal acts when the general populace voted for an continue to support this. Feel like I’m better off just abandoning the country. Feels hopeless.

        when the general populace voted for an continue to support this

        Did they though? Only 63.4% of voting eligible citizens voted in '24. And of those only 49.8% voted for trump. He has never won a majority of the popular vote. Ever. It’s due to the electoral college and the cap on representatives in the house. This gives a significant advantage to lower population states that typically lean republican. Those rules seemed to make sense before we could reasonably collect, count results, and communicate that info in a day. Those rules no longer make sense but as it benefits the republicans they will hold that hill until they die. This country would be shaped very differently if we used the popular vote.

        As a Canadian, I support your use of violence to get your homeland back. As a Canadian, don’t come here if you decide to abandon. You are all tainted now.

        I wish I could leave but that takes money which I don’t have.

      I think the reason why Luigi is considered a saint is because he took one for the team, sparing the masses from police violence.

    We identified 24 wallets that bought $MELANIA in the minutes before the existence of the coin and its backing from the first lady was publicised (via Melania’s Truth Social account, naturally). These people — who knew where to get the coins and were apparently confident it was not one of the hundreds of unofficial Trump family coins — bought $2.6mn of the tokens and flipped them within days for about $100mn. As many FT readers clocked, this is not exactly how a normal float should work. Memecoins are an arena with all the accoutrements and vocabulary of finance but lacking even the level of regulation that governs the sale of Beanie Babies.

      It’s okay, we’ll just get rid of the regulations on everything else so this one fits the norm.
