It’s very Russian…and public apologies. Sometimes my writing gets strident and obnoxious.

Everything below is from John Mauldins Newsletter…I was surprised how much it lined up with what I’ve thought about crypto. The first part is the bigger picture…the second is FTX details. I would simply add, I see not much difference between a crypto exchange and an overseas gold vault as noted. I g...

If we are going to move the ball forward in time, let's start talking corruption again...and you may want to read up on his life and times while in power. A little accidental Dioxin poisoning of your opponent in a close election never hurts either.

Too much typing for no real purpose. As we agree, let's see what the investigation brings up/finds

I don't think they will find anything new on the FBI as that dog has been run. I am looking forward to the social media companies side of the investigation. However, I think at the end of the day, given current law, they can simply say our job is take make money and those were our decisions. May no...

I found the methodology more interesting than the list! Likely answers my question as well.

Thanks for the link.

Interesting there are no Chinese names on the list...a good way to be a target of Xi and the CCP? I have a hard time believing there isn't at least 1 or 2 up there.

The standard...corruption, they're as bad as the Russians, we should be spending all this money on the border, getting involved in yet another war, let's cut them off. Some of the above I have sympathy for as well. I just happen to believe what's going on in this particular situation is a bit except...

Great tangent on the infowar...wow, a complete blowout but a little spin from me. In infowar a key principle is that you have to be considered credible. Russia has so discredited themselves that I don't think they recover in the west for at least a generation. It's interesting to watch Tucker and I'...

Also...I saw a Tweet that said only 27% of the Gen Z populace even bothered to vote. IDK if accurate but a lot of not much ain't much. Yes but what % of their ballots were collected? That's the game now, apparently. Meaning? Meaning that in many states with loose regulations or lax enforcement rega...

Posting an image 4 days after the invasion and reports from 2014...pales in comparison to the unmitigated atrocity of the Russians over the past 9 months. I'm certain there are war crimes going both ways, but every report shows the mass preponderance perpetrated by the Russians. I see why the Ukran...

Oct 2022 UN War Crimes Report https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/2022-10/A-77-533-AUV-EN.pdf Hmmm...In the War Crimes Games the current score is: Ukraine single digits Russia hundreds, or did they make it to 4 digits? Rhetorical questions: 1. Has there ever been a war with zero war crimes? 2...

Kriegs, Awesome response! I really appreciate you putting the time into this one. It's always nice to have quality debates on a forum as they tend to be pretty rare these days. I'll try to provide same quality in a reply but a little maxed out with work and life right now. An outline would go someth...

I think in general the US voter is done with left and right crazy and we're starting to see that.

However, other than 9/11 (from an American standpoint) I can't think of a more worthy war to support in recent times. I'm assuming that you meant "other than the US in Afghanistan , I can't think of a more worthy belligerent to support than Ukraine in recent times." I'd take the opposite ...

IDK...crypto to me seemed a no-brainer "not a good idea." Little if anything, on close inspection, made sense or was likely to be sustainable.

The psychology aspect is a thing for sure. Really though, one should not isolate assets when thinking about the PP. Way too many folks do that. What matters, truly matters, is how the assets work together. We humans like to tinker though. :D The HBPP was designed explicitly to have assets that were ...

You left out the most probable outcome as a choice of the Rs don't sweep it. House = R Senate remains D Hence a non-vote from me What no props for my excellent political forecast?! :) Ball's definitely in the R's court to reign in Trump and associated whack jobs. It will be interesting to see if th...

I think student loans are probably going to the Supreme Court for resolution. A couple of districts are involved now. To me, it seems a huge step on Congressional powers delineated in the constitution. Oh, what I would give for a Congress that would take on the Executive in a bi-partisan way. I kind...

Also...I saw a Tweet that said only 27% of the Gen Z populace even bothered to vote. IDK if accurate but a lot of not much ain't much. I do think we get imprinted young and it sticks with us. No doubt I've been a Republican mostly due to Reagan (1st Pres. vote) and no matter what, I still find mysel...

I think the R primary is going to be by far the most entertaining. Trump will run, but I don't think this time he's going to win. People I know who are MAGA types pretty much understand (now) he has no chance of winning a general.

Apparently the Trump circus is going to launch tonight...
