A wild story unfolding

Quote:Martin Shkreli Joins Trump Crypto Game in the Weirdest Way Ever

Disgraced former hedge fund manager Martin Shkreli claimed Wednesday that he and Barron Trump are responsible for a mysterious Trump-branded meme cryptocurrency.

The token, named “Trump Coin,” sparked confusion and interest since it was registered on the Solana blockchain platform earlier this week, as it bears the same DJT symbol as the stock symbol for Donald Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social. Rumors that Trump was linked to the coin sent its value skyrocketing by 385 percent within 24 hours, and it amassed a trading volume of $363 million, according to The Block.

The token was invented by the infamous “Pharma Bro” himself, who is best known for artificially raising the price of a lifesaving drug by 5,000 percent.

Shkreli claimed that he was approached about making a meme coin with Barron Trump by the 18 year-old’s friend Cameron. Shkreli said he has since established a “friendship” with the former president’s son, whom he credits as the “mastermind” behind the coin.

Shkreli became adversarial when asked if the token was created to raise money for Trump’s presidential campaign. “Whatever, the goal was to sell NFTs, make money,” he snapped, denying that the meme coin was a moneymaking scheme for Trump.

Instead, he claimed the funds were meant for Barron, who was expected to get “everything, everything, everything. Period.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I have to say that I haven't noticed this myself. I mostly view history and music documentaries or discussion channels, and that is virtually the total of the recommendations, too.

I watch more than a few blacksmithing videos, a pretty apolitical topic.

What is "smithing", and why can't the Whites do it?
Disappointing theists since 1968!

Let's slow that roll down, and appreciate just how spectacularly, stunningly, super, significantly special I am!

I ask again, how you possibly get over me?

Jealous much?

I guess we're all under you?

Did you have a specific 'her' in mind, one you always pictured? Naughty

This one time, while I was on vacation, unbeknownst to me the hotel was hosting a seminar on seminaring. As I was walking through the lobby, the main speaker, (a bigly name in the seminaring circles) came up to and said, 'Sir, sir, I love you sir. Can you please take my place as the lead speaker? You sir, are great. I love you sir. And even though I am a best selling author, and having written several books on the subject, and I have a PHDMB in seminaring and socializingology, I would pale in comparison to what you and your spectacularly, stunningly, super, significantly specialism could do the crowd."  Light bulbs, it's a hell of a thing......isn't it? You know, they wanted to take your light bulbs away, force you to use candles. I put a stop to that. I would not let that happen. I looked at the president of light bulb university, and said we can't do that. Po-ta-toes! Boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew. Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish.

I hope that clears things up.

Are you OK? Are you having a stroke?

I just took a brain brain test. I aced it. Flying colors. My physician, Dr. Joe......you know, Dr. Joe Joseph Braintester, after the test, Dr. Joe, I love Dr. Joe, he looked at me and said "Sir, that was the most amazingly amazing aceing of a test I've ever seen." "I don't think I've ever seen anything like it, nobody ever has." He added, that he wished he had a daughter, so I could marry her, and have beautiful, cognitively strong children, He wants to name a river after me, because they flow so freely, like my big words flow so freely from my cognitively strong brain. And you know, since we're talking about strokes, it has been said, that if I ever had one, I would stroke like no other, nobody would ever see a stroker like me. I would stroke in the moring, stroke in the afternoon, stroke in the evening. I could stroke on the toilet, even stoke in bed. Bed, there's a funny word, if you look at it, it looks like a bed, You have the b and the little e getting all comfortable, nestled in there. Then you have that other letter, you know, that backwards little b. A backwards b, it's a hell of a thing......don't you think? Going all zzub, zzub, zzub when they fly all around. To answer your question, even though it's a nasty question.. I am the okest. Nobody can ok like me.
