Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

"I didn't think the leopards would eat my face!"
"He knows this stuff inside and out"
Translation: Barron read one article about it and told Trump in passing.
"I have a son. He's 10 years old. He has computers. He is so good with these computers, it's unbelievable. The security aspect of cyber is very, very tough. And maybe it's hardly do-able. But I will say, we are not doing the job we should be doing."
Blyatcoin
Nyetcoin.
"Backed by Donald J. Trump"
Say no more.
GriftCoin is the name.
Basically, they're mad that the platform has been set up (somewhat) in compliance with US law, which says you have to know who you're dealing with when you're making financial transactions, in order to avoid being a participant in various financial crimes, or being a way to funnel money to terrorist groups and organized crime.
This is a requirement on every company that handles the moving and exchanging of money, but the crypto world holds onto the obsessive belief that they are exempt fun this, basically just because they really want to be.
Trump, meanwhile, is basically saying "Just vote for me and I'll make all those laws go away and you can have all the unregulated wildcat banking you want."
Limiting it to individuals with 100k USD income or greater is kinda smart since these are the people that would be able to recover somewhat if they blow all their savings and investments on a stupid Trumpy rugpull scheme.
I don't think the 100k thing is a legal limit. More likely it's the platform keeping their costs down by only doing KYC on people that have decent amounts of money to invest. Either that or there's something I'm just not aware of here, which I guess is more likely.
Yes yes turn on him.
I mean… yeah. Crypto is a pyramid scheme in many ways and you can’t make money by starting at the bottom late, you got to start at the top from the get go.
People get into crypto to make money… did crypto bros truly think musky and the orange has altruistic motives?
