Republicans are going to do pretty much what they damned well want to do - they don't care about polls like these. And it continues to be laughable at all of the Trump voters who are essentially saying, over and over and over, "well, I voted for him to make some changes, but I just hope he doesn't go overboard and actually implement a lot of the stuff that he said he will, or that Project 2025 wants." Some people have to find things out the hard way.
 

A majority believe the government is sending too much money to Ukraine. And many are expressing less tolerance of immigrants overall. …”​


They want us to spend money here until California burns off the map. Then they want to blame DEI and place contingencies on federal funds.

But what most of these mouth breathers don't realize is that California pays more federal taxes than any other state. And without California supplementing the stupid red state they live in/represent they'd be in far worse shape than they already are.

I suppose, but some of those numbers are fucking ALARMING, imo. You’re telling me more than 40% of this country favors military invasion of Panama? Fuck off jingoists.
 

Trump launches meme coin, apparently makes more than $25 billion overnight​




Why it matters: The stunning launch of $TRUMP caught the entire industry off-guard, and speaks to both his personal influence and the ascendancy of cryptocurrency in his administration.

  • It also speaks to the nature of the crypto industry that someone could have $25 billion worth of something that literally did not exist 24 hours previously.
Catch up quick: Friday night, while Trump was reportedly hosting a "Crypto Ball" for the industry in Washington, the president-elect launched his own meme-linked cryptocurrency.

  • His website bills it as "the only official Trump meme."
  • While a number of Trump-branded meme coins popped up in recent months, none had his official endorsement until now.
By the numbers: According to CoinGecko price data, $TRUMP rose more than 600% overnight and was trading just over $32 as of 11 a.m. ET Saturday.

According to CoinGecko price data, $TRUMP rose more than 600% overnight and was trading just over $32 as of 11 a.m. ET Saturday.

  • That gives the coin a fully diluted market capitalization just north of $32 billion.
  • The meme website says 80% of the supply is held by Trump Organization affiliate CIC Digital, and a CIC co-owned entity called Fight Fight Fight LLC. ("Fight fight fight" is what Trump said after being shot at a rallyin July.)
  • They are subject to a three-year unlocking schedule, which means they cannot dump all of their holdings at once.
 

Canada’s Plan for a Trade War: Pain for Red States and Trump Allies​

Canadian officials are preparing retaliatory measures if the new U.S. administration imposes tariffs on Canadian imports.


“… The Canadian officials said their choice of goods was meant to be precisely targeted and aimed at political impact. They specifically want to focus on goods made in Republican or swing states, where the pain of tariffs, like pressure on jobs and the bottom lines of local businesses, would affect Trump allies. …”

At this point I think 40% of Americans would probably be in favor of literally executing all transgenders or launching a nuclear attack on Iran if they thought they could get away with it and if it wouldn't affect them or their families personally. Their adored leader wondered aloud in his first term why we couldn't just nuke hurricanes before they hit land. It's a reflection of where we are as a society. The moment some of these policies starts to hurt them personally they'll turn against them on a dime, although they'll likely never admit they made a mistake or that Republicans are to blame for it.

This is how it always works with retaliatory tariffs, or did pre-Trump. He used retaliatory tariffs to inflict pain on Democrats instead.

Good luck trying to ever realize that $25 billion. By the time any significant amount was offered for sale, the price would crater.

But also, this is a good counter to all those people who try to claim Trump lost money by running for president.
 
The story of this era in history books 40 years from now is going to be un-fucking-believable. I mean that literally. Kids then will think it has to be fiction how abjectly stupid Trump supporters were.
I think you are discounting who will write the history books. I don't think it will be us.

How could he realize any actual money from it? Is there a waiting period? I thought hawk tuah girl got busted for pumping and dumping?

Apparently there is a Staggered three year lockup and people are watching for the dump …

Will be interesting to see if he ever receives any real money from it. If his term goes well maybe, but if it doesn't go well I think he will be dropped pretty quick by all except those who bought his golden shoes and the other crap he peddles.
