Pretty awesome that Wall Street decided that bitcoin is a real thing so this bullshit is pulling down all our 401(k)/403(b) with it.

Everything was in a bubble anyhow. Not that idiots tying their companies to crypto isn't part of the problem, but massive over valulations since the covid crash are a huge part as well. This was bound to happen, like the GFC 14 years ago, something just needed to snap. Crypto being the '22 version of Lehman is very funny. Unfortunate, but funny.

Bitcoin is struggling to stay above $19k right now. It dipped to $18.9 in the last 10 minutes.

Going to be real fun when we find out where the dark money for these exchanges and funds came from. If institutional banks had a hand in this poo poo then bailouts are for sure coming...just not for the crypto folks

Absolutely! Rich people will get their money back plus a little extra for the inconvenience and everyone else will lose everything. Which was how it was always going to end.

You’re welcome! I figured it was a general info request, but it was also a good chance for me to kind of sort my own thoughts and reasons. It also helped me to realize it was a host of reasons, not just one or two, though some obviously more than the others.

Speaking of overlap :)

It's really ultimately because he started pointing fingers at the bigger, older Republicans. They are now leveraging media influence to undermine him, as in the case of Tucker Carlson, and of course the leaked photos of him crossdressing probably came from an R oppo file for the same reason.

You're mixing them up. Dan Crenshaw /= Madison Cawthorn.

Dan Crenshaw's claim to fame was being a SEAL who hasn't yet been #MeToo'ed or found to have a collection of bones from the people he killed under his floorboards. Oh, and Pete Davidson made fun of him once so he's been "assassinated" by the Liberal Joke Media. :jerkbag:

There was that seal on Twitter that strongly insinuated Danny boy was indulging in hookers during their time together while Crenshaw was married. No idea how accurate though.

Repeat after me:

The Democrats are not the party of the People. They are the party of Stability and Prosperity, and they will ruthlessly pursue whatever policies they feel promote those two things.

The Democratic Party wants the bullies to like them. Be it their political opponents or the legal armed gangs who are enfranchised with literal licenses to kill and steal.

They're also terrified of being labeled ~soft on crime~.

This too.

The DNC also loathes the fact that it has to shelter "Other" progressive/leftist groups under its tent, lest it be exposed for the true "minority" party it really is.
