Posts: 2058USGOV hostile to crypto
https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2024...tablecoin-law/
It is bad law. Stifles innovation, liquidity and movement of capital in the markets.
Elements in the USGOV are afraid. Because crypto is not reliant on any of the favorite idiots everyone like to talk about on both side of aisle up in here.

Repubs, can have all knuckle headed celebrity gaffes, if they feel it will translate to votes. President Joe Biden, thank god, is focused on the votes of hardworking American Laborers and NABTU workers that know, "He [TRUMP] was one of the worst clients we ever had, because he rarely kept his word and it was a fight to get him to pay us back". --NABTU President Sean McGarvey
In the case of SAS, as you've stated, he should know better. But FOXY Muse, have also had a lifetime of twisting almost everything in their sights, to suit their right-wing agenda/narrative. That is literally their fucking shtick!
Point and case, as just the other day, a new version of the game SCRAMBLE was released and reported as being "easier" and "more inclusive" (not sure who initially came up with those terms to describe the game), but leave it to the pundits over at FOXY Muse to label is as "WOKE!" and "WOKE SCRAMBLE!".
But when you consider that the Republican party, is nothing more than, performance theater, clowns performing for their supper and a spectacle comedy of errors, meant to entertain rather than govern responsibly by the rule of law and the US Constitution, it should come as no surprise, that Repubs would rather focus on the nonsense and crap, coming from the mouths of "clowns", "numbskulls" and "knuckle heads", for the mere entertainment of their gullible audiences, as opposed to doing any real official legislative work.

The backlash, was no doubt warranted, not because they necessarily have political sway, but because their "celebrity" affords them a certain standing in the community and when you make stupid comments or do stupid things, you should expect condemnation.
Funny I don't remember any such outcry, when Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-TX), scathing report of Republican Neo-Nazi SCUMBAGS, came to be known as huge problem. Repubs just seem to accept this as fact?
Hmmm...I wonder what's worse, poor criminal treatment of blacks by LE comparisons with Trump or Repubs who don't seem to mind the Neo-Nazi SCUMBAGS problem they have?

It's not like your beleaguered Repubs are going to gain any significant amount black voters, to make a difference, not matter how much you "huff-n-puff", like a big bad weeeeeeeed wolf. (...kkkk!)
Really now...is this just your way of balancing out "the cosmos", with the lost of votes due to the Republican Neo-Nazi SCUM-BAG problem, with the magical "raise" of black voters for Repubs, in the "polls" you sight?
Anywho, here again, are the recent black voting numbers you need to know for, Nov 2024, despite the sources quoted by SAS, and the pundit polls and predictions, he sources. 100% more accurate to be precise:
Pew Research Center, Partisanship by race, ethnicity and education, April 9th, 2024- Black voters continue to overwhelmingly associate with the Democratic Party, although the extent of the Democratic advantage among this group has fallen off over the last few years.
- Currently, 83% of Black voters are Democrats or lean Democratic, while 12% align with the GOP.
- As recently as 2020, the share associating with the Democratic Party was 5 percentage points higher. That somewhat larger edge in party affiliation had been in place for much of the last two decades.
Once you've taken in those historic numbers on black voters, perhaps you'll be inclined to go back and answer my questions w/r to "Why Repubs, are always suppressing the black vote, if black voters are so very important to them?"
- Black voters continue to overwhelmingly associate with the Democratic Party, although the extent of the Democratic advantage among this group has fallen off over the last few years.

One final touch, that was very moving, indeed [but not covered in the article], was when a Florida Union worker, had this to say to BIDEN:- Union Worker: "Mr. President, I want to sincerely thank you. As the ONLY reason, I have a pension, is because of YOU! " {...followed by, a standing ovation and loud cheers for BIDEN...}
It was during the failed Republican administration of G.W. Bush and the 2008 US Sub-Prime Mortgage CRASH, that set off worldwide stock market crashes, and lead to the cause for the hollowing-out of Union Pension Plans going broke.
Very Well Done, President Joe Biden, for fixing bipartisan problems, for ALL Americans, wherever they exist. Blue or Red states!
PS:
EihTooms, that (9-min.) video is very illuminating. As it shows the liar, charlatan and snake-oil salesman that Trump is, spoken from the lips of laymen and American Tradesmen. As when he promised to fix the UNION pension problems, left by the previous failures of Repub G.W. Bush and did NOTHING!
President Joe Biden, came in and made the Unions Pension Plans whole. BIDEN, just gets things done for the good of the country!

Posts: 5474It was an exceedingly careless and dumb thing for him to say in proximity to Fux
Unless SAS wants more Great Repub Depressions, Great Repub Recessions and Massive Repub Jobs Destruction for America, those are dumb things to say when he could use his position and status to say something more truthful and helpful to the country instead.

Which is not what Johnson said at all.
Good lord, hasn't he, SAS and others been paying attention to how the only thing The Repub Party of Great Depressions, Great Recessions and Massive Jobs Destruction has to run and win on is twisting and spinning the tiniest gaffe or clumsy, careless vague allusion to some impossibly over exaggerated "America destroying" sucker social issue delivered by one or another clueless numbskull useful idiot who blathers some idiocy right into their waiting traps?
LOL.

By the way, if you actually listened to his whole speech, he referenced why he said what he did and why blacks were moving towards Trump and listed multiple sources for his doing so.
I did not say that SAS endorsed Trump. I said he was articulating why blacks were moving towards Trump. So SAS made clear once again that he is not supporting Trump, and you two dummies are running around spiking the football like you won something after saying SAS did not matter. LOL.
And while you post the video, you missed the Twitter feed.
NAACP: Relatable! Show of hands: Anyone in your Black family have 88 felony charges pending, filed for bankruptcy 6 x, made an attempt to overthrow a presidential election and our democracy, and still have the ability to fall asleep in court and dream of being POTUS?
SAS: This is absolutely, positively, sad that you at NAACP would misrepresent my comments like this. I was asked what Blacks WHO SUPPORT TRUMP are thinking as to why they support him. I answer THAT question. Sad! But you're entitled. Good luck. Maybe that will beat Trump, since little else seems to be working which was my overall point. We shall see.
I repeat my point. If SAS endorsed Trump, the election would be done. That probably will not happen now, not after SAS was slapped around by the NAACP but that does not mean that Biden's support amongst blacks is not slipping.

Is it any wonder Elvis 2008, did not want to provide the link to his initial SAS posted article, since SAS clearly states for the record:- First he apologies, saying that, "...my words were interpreted as associating support for Trump, from the Black community, with all the legal issues he's facing...for that I sincerely apologize."
- Second SAS then explains, "To be clear, my words were misconstrued...for the record my words were taken out of context."
In short, Repubs, like Elvis 2008, always seem have this collection notion and hope and pray to god, that somehow, Black voters would suffer a bout of collective amnesia, with regards to all the nasty and illegal things Trump, Repubs and Conservatives have done and said in the past, to mitigate, suppress and disproportionately target the "black vote", come election time.
Black voters, VOTE for Dems to WIN, with an historic avg. 82%-86% certainty. Repubs should circle-back to me, when this changes.
Until that avg. 82%-86% of black voters, voting for Dems changes, perhaps Repubs should stick to understanding (if that's possible) their crazy base of QAnon, MAGA, Trumpsters, Neo-Nazis, insurrectionists, election deniers, Russian "useful idiots" and INCEL misogynists!
And to Elvis 2008...as SAS would say, "stay off the weeeeeeeeeeeeed" (...kkkk!)

Posts: 1127Women Winning for BIDEN, in Arizona and Florida...
Much to the chagrin of INCELS and the He-Man Women Haters, the state of Arizona and Florida, is trending more for Biden everyday, due to the women's vote on abortion bans, translating to the increasing popular vote for BIDEN!
Thanks to statements of pure arrogance and malice from political suicide artists like Arizona's failed candidate, election denier and 3x LOSER, Kari Lake, (in so many words) tells Arizonans to, "Get [your ass] in your car and you can go three (3) hours that way" (ie. drive 3-hrs to California for an abortion).
The insensitivity, that Repubs are displaying, isn't lost on the WOMEN is these states, as the push for women's healthcare rights and freedoms are being stomped on and taken away by Repubs with arcane backwards-ass abortion laws from 1864.

https://www.newsweek.com/kari-lake-a...ortion-1891335
Biden and the Dems are experiencing a surge in support from women voters in Arizona and Florida, due to the arcane 1864 abortion bans, squarely knee-capping the Repubs at the ballot-box in Nov 2024, thanks to dimwitted "INCEL-adjacent surrogates" Repubs like Kari Lake.
Democrats bank on abortion in 2024 as Arizona and Florida push stakes higher
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...rizona-florida
Yep, Florida is now in play. And with abortion and marijuana, now on the ballot, Florida is ripe for the picking. This is a brilliant strategy for Dems in Florida and will illicit an increased turnout of students on campus and thus also increasing the margin of younger women also voting for abortion rights, and in turn a vote for BIDEN!
Just like the Ohio 2023 elections, having abortion and marijuana on the ballot, is a great strategy and will greatly improve Dems down-ballot and BIDEN winning in Arizona and Florida.

Posts: 5474Wow. Good one, Joe. You earned it.
Biden scores major union backing as its leaders attack Trump.
April 23, 2024
https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/23/polit...ent/index.html
Joe Biden will land a major union endorsement Wednesday from North Americas Building Trades Unions, whose leaders say the president has his infrastructure bill largely to thank for it.
In making one of their earliest ever presidential endorsements, NABTU leaders are kickstarting an eight-figure organizing program to try to deliver their 250,000 members in the battlegrounds of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin for Biden.
The Teamsters, whose endorsement is being pursued by both Biden and Donald Trump, are members of NABTU but abstained from Tuesdays board vote, according to people briefed on the proceedings. They will endorse after their own upcoming convention.
The backing from NABTU, which has 3 million members nationwide, is more enthusiastic than its 2020 backing of Biden. And it comes at a moment when a significant slice of union rank-and-file has split from traditionally Democratic-aligned union leadership in ways that are reverberating through elections. Thats raised questions about the political future of the next generation of union members.
"Its almost like the perfect leader was sent at the perfect time for working people", NABTU President Sean McGarvey told CNN about Biden in an interview announcing the endorsement.
Biden will appear at the unions conference in Washington on Wednesday to officially get the nod which union leaders also want to be seen as a stark rebuff of Trump, who eagerly solicited support from union members and leaders during his time in office, but, their leaders say, didnt deliver. NABTU had called for Trump to resign after the January 6, 2021, insurrection.
In praising Bidens efforts for working people, McGarvey cited the investments and union protections built into the infrastructure act, the Covid-era American Rescue Plan, the CHIPs Act to increase technological production nationwide and the Inflation Reduction Act. He acknowledged that, for the moment, Bidens support is stronger among his unions leadership than it is among many of his members, whom he said were close to evenly split in 2020 between Biden and Trump, and generally remain so.
"They think now Joe Biden and Trump are running again, they think its just two politicians, Same old, same old, McGarvey said. Lo and behold, its not the same old, same old."
AND MORE!

- Explain This?
So AGAIN, Elvis 2008, if Trump really does have the "raising" Black vote, then explain to me, why is it that Trump and Repubs, spend an enormous amount of time and money in a mass purge blacks from of voter rolls, suppressing the black votes on voter lists, disproportionately removing drop-boxes and ballot-boxes, primarily in black neighborhoods, in swing states, and calling out ONLY black and brown neighborhoods for voter fraud?
Given the Trump Hush-Money Trial, women once again (right before the 2024 election), get to remind themselves of what a lying "misogynist-pig", looks like, who, was fucking porn stars after his immigrant wife just had child birth. Yes, the one who proudly took away women's freedoms and rights, with the overturned decision of Roe vs Wade. With that in mind, WOMEN will proudly march to the ballot-box and VOTE FOR BIDEN!

Yep, it looks like Spidy, other ISG members and I do indeed know and understand Black Americans re Trump based on his true history much better than that clueless numbskull SAS with his sweet recurring Fux News gig does.
I wonder if anyone has finally educated him about that Trump Crime Family racist housing discrimination and Trump's continued and decades long unwavering insistence that 5 Black American men who were fully exonerated for a crime that someone else committed either be executed or rot in prison for the rest of their lives.
You know, so he can finally "know enough" about Trump to perhaps shock the Fux News hosts and a few fellow clueless numbskull young Black men with the truth of it someday, preferably before November.
I am sure he will be able to find another gig after his ass gets fired from Fux News for that.

He (Trump) continued, asserting that Black people are starting to turn to him because "what's happening to me, happens to them," centering his appeal to Black voters by equating his criminal prosecutions to the historic discrimination Black Americans have faced.

It's too bad SAS is such a clueless numbskull that he has not bothered to "know enough" about Trump on the most rudimentary factors to finally tell everyone seeing and hearing him on his sweet recurring Fux News gig that they would also be clueless numbskulls to neglect to vote or to vote for anyone except Biden and every other Dem on their ballot in order to keep Trump and Trump Cult Followers' Repub Trumpism as far away from the levers of USA government as possible now and far into the foreseeable future.
