Years ago some journalist described the Icelandic banking crisis this way: imagine you have a dog and I have a dog and I agree your dog is worth a billion dollars and you agree my dog is worth a billion dollars, so we trade dogs and then announce that our combined worth is now two billion dollars. Bitcoin is like that, only the dogs don't exist.

I'm fond of the bit in the earlier article about how they had to get takeout because they're too tired to cook after work. As opposed to minimum wage workers, who are always full of energy at the end of the day.

Does Rowe do any artistry besides politoons? Even though I find a lot of his toons grotesque I do like the style and artistry of them a lot. Like, weirdly so. I'm especially happy if a Rowe is set up after the ol 3-5 Matt, I go from angry to impressed in the span of two toons.

I think Rowe is using watercolours on paper as the basis of his cartoons before scanning and Photoshop, rather than all digital, which is why they look the way they do.

I don't know if he does anything other than political cartoons for the Australian Financial Review, it's impressive how many he can make in a week.

Not that justice has ever been blind but wouldn't unblinding justice only ever benefit the powerful anyway? I always thought that the concept was "it doesn't matter who you are, you will face the same justice" which while clearly not true is at least a good sentiment? I don't know how justice being able to see would favor the accusers here, which seems to be the implication.

I think the assertion is that all the cancel culture-loving SJWs on social media want to unblind her because they are more interested in punishing people they don't like (the rich white men, like ungulateman said) than administering fair and impartial justice.

quote:

THE SUPREME COURT PROVES IT IS JUST AS CORRUPT AS THE FBI AND CONGRESS

All of our institutions are rotten to the core with corruption and cowardice. It’s time to face that fact.

Sidney knows…

On Monday the US Supreme Court rejected without comment or explanation, the 2020 election challenges by Attorney Sidney Powell in Arizona and Wisconsin.

Sidney Powell issued a statement:

My comment for the press on SCOTUS rulings today: “The Supreme Court’s failure to date to address the massive election fraud and multiple constitutional violations that wrought a coup of the presidency of the greatest country in world history completes the implosion of each of our three branches of government into the rubble of a sinkhole of corruption.

It is an absolute tragedy for the Rule of Law, the future of what was a Republic, and all freedom-loving people around the world.”


What does the cabal have on the Chief Justice? Why can’t the court just hear the evidence? What are they afraid of? More riots by BLM? Now that everyone has had a free trial of the rolling disaster of the Biden administration, more people would welcome the election being overturned.

Get ready for the next step folks…

Ben's pinning all the blame on Roberts but if the five conservative justices had voted to hear the case they would have. I can't find how they voted but why isn't he criticizing ACB/Kavanaugh/Alito/Thomas/Gorsuch? That would make way more sense than pretending Roberts rules the court with an iron fist.

The conspiracy theory is that Roberts threatened the other justices...somehow if they didn’t vote his way.

There's three interpretations of this and I'm not sure which is the right one.

1) You can't actually create money, nor can you control the climate, what a fool she is to think the government can do these things.

2) Creating money is bad economic policy and will hurt the economy, and trying to control the climate is bad environmental policy and will hurt the environment, this woman is dangerous.

3) Of course the snow and ice in Texas was government weather control to punish them for being right wing.
