  1. I expected her to pull out a gun any moment after being this humiliated.

  2. Can we stop talking about her looks? You know, like respectful people who pretend to listen?

  3. By the way, that is the most horrible tasteless Christmas "tree" I have ever seen. It is symbolic for everything that is wrong with America.

  4. Actually it was Afrikaans (South African), not Dutch. But she probably understood because a lot of words in Afrikaans originate from Dutch and sound similar.

  5. Every time Dr. Joan talks I get impatient waiting for a point that doesn't come.

  6. You can bicker over the difference between traceable and anonymous. To a broad audience this isn't a bad story. People who claim to understand it better typically focus on the technology and fail to see the big picture.

  7. "Other people are going there so I'd better join in". That phenomena is behind every pyramid scheme.

  8. No no, the only way is up and everybody wins! That's the beauty of it. What you say? "It is nothing like money because there is no powerful issuer that forces me to use the stuff as currency"? "It is nothing but hope to find a bigger idiot who will take it off your hands for more money later"? Well... I have two words for you: block chain!

  9.  @natemills9030  I am a bit harsher on crypto currency because it is absolutely nothing, contrary to the other things you named which may be over-valued at some point but ultimately have some underlying or intrinsic value. Fiat money has worth because some big powerful party says this is what we use and shall pay our taxes in. So everyone needs it, there is no way around the government for most people. That party is just not there for any crypto currency. Stocks may have a speculative component in it but it typically will not be 100% as is the case with crypto currency.

  10. Who is paying these people to be there? Can someone follow the money please? I cannot imagine that these folks, who must be free drivers, can keep this up for very long on their own account.

  11.  @natemills9030  You describe it pretty well, yet you fail to see this is exactly what is happening when people buy crypto-currency. Whenever someone buys any from someone else, it drives up the exchange rate and the people at the top (who have a lot of coins) get disproportionally richer (provided they are smart enough to sell in time to another base layer of idiots, which I suspect most of them are).

  12. Trump gets it alright. He can smell scams a mile away.

  13.  @ryantannehill2830  Just look at the video please. There was a fire alright in one corner of the building, nothing major. Then suddenly the whole thing falls inward, the flag pole visibly going down first. There is no sensible way to reason that away as being a result of external influence from debris. All in plain sight, no theory.

  14. It is somewhat encouraging these people still need the lie to support Trump. Others are apparently beyond that, they don't care how they win, if it takes breaking democracy so be it. These people are just believers clinging to an idea, they are religious. I am not sure which is more scary though.

  15. Please, enlighten us.

  16.  @Wandy2140  If you are not ashamed your candidate wholeheartedly supports janoside, you should ask yourself why.

  17. Psst. Don't mention the janoside folks.

  18. Well, there's officer Mike from The Power Puff Girls. He wasn't portrayed so positively.

  19. I wonder how they produce these interviews. Do they tell the guests upfront "This is serious but it's also entertainment so I may say a weird thing or two, please bear with me." or do they just go full Sasha Baron Cohen on them?

  20. ​ @johnwayne7383  Hey, if the bad guys have nukes, shouldn't we have at least two?

  21. I bet It's just a story designed to lure people into believing this is a thing, Spread some ridiculous numbers and maybe some people will be willing to give you money in return for nothing, just to be part of something.

  22. The thing is, their income IS on the line. These two rogue democrats are paid by people whose interest is to not get anything passed, to just disable government altogether. Business rules as long as no government can stop or regulate it.

  23. This is not about any theory, is it? It is about factual history. Labeling it a theory makes it legit to ban and bury it. How smart.

  24. Was that Kristi Noem? She messed up her face pretty bad.

  25. I am starting to believe the democrat electorate is as much of a cult as the Trump lot.

  26. An army of woke zombies puting up rainbows everywhere, telling our children that Americans are not necessarily white... Sounds serious.

  27. Until recently, "Joe's garage" was a Frank Zappa album. No more.

  28. Well, that Milley guy went downhill fast.

  29. It could remain that way if you sell it in time.

  32.  @natemills9030  Are they? It is late adopters feeding money into the pyramid from the bottom to the benefit of the early adopters. The last ones to enter (to form a new layer), who cannot find buyers anymore to pass their share on to, end up with the loss. And that loss will be total because there is no intrinsic value anywhere. No material, no company, no promise, no nothing. Sounds like a pyramid scheme to me.

  33.  @sammiller6631  O, it's one word alright? I initially wrote it as one but the spell checker didn't like it so I got bluffed into splitting it up.
