Trump made more than $1bn from crypto in first year back in office
LMAO - Apparently according to randos online the Biden's were a crime family making bank off the WH. That was a big deal.
But Trump using the office to drop investigations into Crypto businesses - pardoning crypto billionaires, using the presidential seal and other highly questionable/potentially/probably illegal actions around his crypto business ... all to make $$$ ... that's just MURICA !!
His money is blind and semi-blind invested while he is in office.
There is a fireworks ban here in Euclid, Ohio. It was really quiet until about 9 pm, then they started firing them off. I still managed to fall asleep.
They must mean US, normal citizens who see no way out of our current nightmare. We are blessed with a Commander in Chief who "jokes"/ uses sarcasm when talking about the Medal of Honor-- he has no clue about honor, virtue, nobility...... we need to pray for him and our country- we were blessed with another MAINLY peaceful 4th of July. Lord help us to stop killing each other in Middle East. Pray for leaders who act "for the people" and the common good- thanks to all who serve our country in many different areas. Happy 4th July weekend to all- yes, including our President. Peace.
Yes the Holiday here where everybody can set off fireworks the entire week end before, during, and after the 4th. You know like in my neighborhood where those one's so big they not only rattle your windows, and shake things on your walls, but you can feel the blast wave everywhere inside your house three entire weekends in a row from 10 AM till midnight. You mean that kind of 4th of July.
Not a big fan of Hunter Biden but he is a bit clever at least.
He nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for stopping the Iran War 38 times,,,
That's not a number he pulled out of the air. CNN reported that Trump himself has said that the war was over or an agreement was signed or a deal was eminent 38 times...
No matter where you go or how you spend the holiday, please remember what this day represents. It represents the very reason we can worship as we wish, believe as we wish and live as we wish. And please remember all who gave their lives and sacrificed to make it that way and keep it that way. We owe a great debt of gratitude to them all.
Happy Independence Day to one and all! And please be safe out there wherever you may travel or wherever you may be.
Horrible decision - no intent and as bad as the slow motion reply was, and it was grim with the foot at an awkward angle and then Balogun standing on the ankle.... it was literally just one of those things. Not malicious. Hopefully they make it through vs Belgium. I think Belgium are a better match up for the USA than Senegal.... but we'll see. Have to find a goal scorer or two.
They don't care what he does. All you will get in return will be crickets. They didn't even care enough to call trump out for taxpayers footing the bill for almost 400 million trump spent to upgrade that Qatari jet he will be taking with him when he leaves office. The gift Qatar donated to the "American government", not Trump. The Grifter in Chief gets carte' blanche from them.

He must have been watching trump speeches and reading Trump's social media accounts. Surely he isn't referring to randos whose only power they hold is a single vote.
That's what people have said since protests and change has began in this nation.....

Move to them is you think they are so great.
And then there's the ever popular "America. Love it or leave it." mantra.
But that's not what Patriotic Americans do. They stand and fight to make their nation better. People such as yourself said the same thing during the Suffrage Movement when women were fighting for their right to vote. The same thing happened during the Civil Rights Movement, The Labor Movement and the Vietnam war protests.
Every time there is a fight for change that involves the betterment of our nation for all people or people who have been discriminated against, people like you chime in to create the narrative that in the fight to form a "more perfect nation" those people are less Patriotic than yourself when in fact the opposite is true.
Yet the history involved in such matters seems to escape you.
And I get the other part as well.....

The Happierlives institute...LOL...founded in 2019. Quit wasting your time reading that crap...Crap in, Crap out, but I guess that explains you.
Since this isn't some old, institutional source and is a new study that's only been conducted over a short period of time, you try to belittle it and dismiss it. Just as you try to do to myself, the media as well as any and all people and politicians that don't agree with your antiquated way of thinking.
Once again, none of these nations are communist countries. Once again their populations are extremely happy and once again you have no basis with which to deny any of that. You just keep making noise about it. But that's what happens these days when you present facts to someone who disagrees with you. Keep up the good work.
Just like there are parts you would like to change, birth right citizenship is one I would like to see changed, but it won't anytime soon, if ever, so it is what it is. I have no problem with the ruling. As I said, I expected the result.
I think you need to talk with your leaders who have said the court is illegitimate and will pack the court when given the chance.
As to my "moot" point, it was just a comment for informative purposes. I am sure it will be a talking point in the future.
Why is it you communists are so set on destroying the county? Are you now living in England? How's that going?
“You communists.” Interesting.
I remember when I used to read quotes like this in the forum:

Maybe go back to the not-stop "Nazi!" and "threat to democracy!!".
Can't make it up. But pleeeease... keep it up!!
I remember decrying “lefty” posters who would do that. I would say such phrases are not helpful to the overall picture. Then things happened the way they did.
I agree that was a terrible red card in the USA game. There also was a terrible call in the Belgium game, in the 119th minute a penalty kick was given for Belgium, which they put in for the win.
Even when the truth slaps them in the face they refuse to see it. Let's look at the happiest populations on earth respective to the nation in which they live. Quickly you will see, even though it's a lie some here would call them "communist" for the very same reasons they call people like us communists, it's a lie..........
1. Finland
Finland’s comprehensive social welfare system, managed primarily by the Social Insurance Institution of Kela, provides universal healthcare, extensive family support, and robust income security.

4. Costa Rica
Costa Rica offers a highly developed, universal social safety net.

Furthermore, initiatives like Red Cuido expand essential daycare, wellness, and housing services to the elderly and extremely poor.

These are NOT communist countries while some who have no idea what that even means according to what they have posted would swear they are. They are just nations whose governments puts their people first. And it seems like here in the U.S. some find that idea abhorrent.
Happiness ratings came from here. The U.S. ranks #23.
I think that the NFL takes gambling by players very seriously, because it truly could affect game outcomes, especially at the QB position., The QB touches the ball on almost every snap. If a QB were influenced by his own betting, or someone he owes money to from said gambling, it would not be hard for him to throw a game.
Look at the investigation/prosecution of the 2 Guardians pitchers. They just agreed to certain outcomes for certain pitches. I certainly don't want another such embarassment.
I think the biggest potential gambling problem the NFL faces is with the refs. It's way bigger with the refs.
That was my first thought when the quick gambling apps, and then NFL sponsorship of it started.
Just like Clase and Ortiz, prop bets and/or micro bets could be a huge problem
