 How much of his PERSONAL money did he put into these meme coins? What was HIS investment in the creation and development of the coins? I dont make comments without knowing the background to what I am claiming, so tell me how much direct personal money did Trump invest to CREATE these meme coins?

How much did Trump invest to found, develop and run Truth Social? 

Trump is the worst scammer fraud huckster in US political history, he should be removed from office with these abhorrent conflicts of interest and the awful interior design choices that alone is worth putting him in jail.

@UNIMAN

 That is peanuts compared to the BILLIONS Trump has scammed from his followers and position. How much is his DJT stake worth, do you know? Truth Social is never invented without the TNC followers, he put ZERO dollars into that scheme, did you know that?

How much has he/will he make off his crypto scams that he put ZERO into? Nice try comparing a penny on the ground when the big fat elephant is perched right over your head.

Trump is the largest scheming huckster in US political history.

He should be kicked out for the crypto scamming alone, that is disgusting but it is right in character and his low moral code.

Ive been staring at my TV waiting for the 1 day resolution of Ukraine and Gaza, waiting for inflation to go back under 2 percent and all the global outsourcing issues to be solved on day one.

Hucksters are only successful if the moronic public believe their lies.

@BigGame90

 Of course you do and that is working for Trump and it got you and many others to foolishly fall for his lies and schemes and vote for him. DEI is not about the outlier extremes that you consider, in falling for these lies you are harming many innocent people that are in the majority not the small minority being correlated as the majority.

Putin stop!!! What a moron, who thinks that social media ranting will make a difference, Trump is such a fool. Stop following a delusional zero ego fool and wake up.

@BigGame90

 Your focus and definition of DEI is what causes divide, you equate hiring decisions as DEI and thus it should be removed, this is a false narrative and ignores the core concepts of the term DEI. Diversity does not mean only hiring decisions, I gave a partial list of what DEI means to me and none of the definition is about hiring quotas. Your side uses the outlier examples to support their project 2025 removal of ALL things DEI and identify those outlier concepts to be the full definition and that is outright deception and ignorance.

To your complaint, I would suggest AGEISM is more of a large scale harmful concept, maybe more than the mandates that some companies might try to put in place to give more people more opportunity and make the hiring decision more than just a paper matter. I would also include race and wealth as more harmful in your example than only skin color or experience, this country has centuries of "good ole boy" network damage that includes wealth, race and gender and why would it be so awful to try and balance the equity in business and the economy? People have been elevated, white males since the start of this country and that is an abuse which caused generations of harm, generations of inequity and imbalance, so why would it be wrong to open the opportunity and economy to those who have been harmed for generations?

Click on your profile, go back and read your messages and there is your answer. In the future it is better to just skip past posting versus breaking the rules by bashing and insulting other members.

To me DEI means a large number of issues/groups some of which include-

Minorities

Gender neutrality (all genders being completely equal)

Mental Illness

Physical handicap

Race

Income bias

Ageism

Religious neutrality

Caste neutrality

There are so many ways to be inclusive and diverse so while LGBT deserves to be in these groups they actually already are even without defining using that moniker, yet the project 2025 narrative makes DEI ONLY about the extremist outlier which forwards their narrative and in the process all groups and categories are minimized and harmed.

That isnt what diversity is about, it is an outlier and an intentional exaggeration meant to forward the agenda. It is working, your side lives in the outliers ignoring the true destruction because you want to follow what the media tells you.

Even if you want to explore that tangent rationalization, this country has from the origin been abusive and exclusive to the very group you are trying to elevate. White men and men in general are and have been the unfair receiver of societal benefit, having a SLIGHT movement in the other direction might seem so unfair but in reality we should never have allowed it in the first place and should be understanding of others much more than we are.

@fubah2

 When that time comes if Trump nominates one of his inexperienced talk show host quality candidate, the market will get destroyed. The FED leader needs to be experienced, balanced, disciplined and financially  intelligent. Trump does not seem interested in putting people in positions that meet those terms, it is more about them following his project 2025 agenda.

It is amusing watching Trump think he can fire Powell just because he will not do what the KING wants. The FED has two mandates, Trump is wrecking both mandates with his short sided bull approach and then he is mad when Powell says that the FED mandates will not be compromised even with the bully tactics.

@kcblitzkrieg

Lastly, this scam that PE firms put on was one of my only complaints about Romney and his run for POTUS that Bain has a long history of takeover and leverage then release to the market scams and I consider that to be abhorrent but it is a business model used for multiple decades. I dont recall you being in the circus when this was going on but there are some fellow Covers members who might remember this discussion...lol

@kcblitzkrieg

 We know these boys are leveraged and are using margin to try and juice more profits so higher rates are really damaging to their business models AND higher corporate interest expense means less profits and less free ZIRP expansion capital. The market cares more about the FED than the government in general unless there is leveraged chaos and stupidity in government so since we have both it is no wonder that the market has been in the toilet since Trump and his reign of terror took over.

@Midnight1

 The tariffs bring a dirty angry word into the house of FED, tariffs and stupid government project 2025 job cuts, that word is STAGFLATION.

The very last thing Powell wants to deal with is stagflation and the combo Trump is putting together of higher costs via tariffs and job cuts mean stagnant growth and higher inflation, that is stagflation.

The FED really cannot do much anyway because they allow banks to do anything but lend in pursuits of profits so the money multiplier the FED pontificates about does not function so their moves really do not flow through to the economy, FED cuts help risk assets and gambling HFT/private equity traders and that is why the market is crying today.

@Raiders22

 FWIW we had that scenario of water days in the past when the area had massive rains and the storm drainage system was over filled and the treatment plants were not functioning properly, the municipality put a nasty mandate out of not watering every day but every other and asked for a decrease in usage in all aspects. Guess what, we survived!!! Who would have thought that draconian GOP legislative mandates would be survivable and that people can exist having strict controls in place, it was an amazing accomplishment that citizens can actually cope and deal with restrictions from time to time.

The showerheads are engineered to specs that meet usage requirements for anywhere in the country, if people are experiencing trickle from a showerhead it is not due to a flow restrictor it is due to a low min flow into the house for the reasons I listed. There is either a lack of pressure on a septic or if the main has a restriction, there can be mineral buildup which reduces flow and there can be crap in the lines like caulk or debris (I experienced this) those are the reasons for your quandry not a flow restrictor. And yes it is so unbearable and draconian for citizens to use their hands and remove the top of the showerhead, then get a pair of needle nose plyers and take out the plastic restrictor. These steps are so taxing to the consumer they should probably file suit or go on conservative social media and scream their outrage...wait they do that already now and every day.

@Raiders22

 Survived was sarcasm of the exaggeration you are forwarding. Also your examples of restriction was already addressed, down here there is a water deficit due to the population so these sort of upgrades actually support the local communities by making it less dependent on water import and it also lowers the cost of use and cost to the municipalities. The point was and is that these fixtures are not anything of a hardship or hassle as you are describing unless you are on a septic and the pressure is way below say 70psi OR your plumbing is messed up. The parts are engineered for specs that are well within reasonable use and purpose. 

My house code restriction on the main was and is 75psi, the device I have on my water line coming into the house is unable to go over 75psi, then I had these showerheads on in addition and it was not unreasonable it was not a trickle it was nothing terrible, even to the furthest fixture from the supply, the longest and last line that was the one I adjusted but it was not a trickle. Your exaggerations are just unsupported by logic and engineering. If someone has a trickle with a flow restrictor the issue is not the showerhead it is some crap in the lines or the lack of upkeep for mineral buildup. 

@Raiders22

It was and is exaggerated that is the point and it is done for partisan complaining and it is misguided and inaccurate.

I guess I could really take it to the next level and hire a plumber to remove my code enforced water control restrictor at the main then come onto social media and shake my fist at the democrats (even though code here is in a highly GOP centrist state) that would generate a high level of satisfaction...lol

I existed with the flow restrictor on the unit for 7 years and I survived, who would have thought it? The issue came about where a fixture on the very end of the house furthest from the main was being used and the flow seemed lesser than the unit closer to the supply, so instead of hitting my usual GOP social media to blame the dems I decided to see if there is anything I could do given the problem was MINE not some politician and I discovered (as anyone can) that the removal of the flow restrictor takes like 30 seconds so i did it.

Fun how people can find solutions on their own without attention seeking social media political exaggeration and whining. The trickle comment is the most amusing, unless someone either is on a septic system OR has wrecked plumbing there is ZERO chance the scenario you described would ever happen...never a possibility.

@Raiders22

 I think people actively seek reasons to make political grandstanding generalizations even when it is not true or it is exaggerated. 

I have those lower flow settings on my shower AND I have a code restricted water flow from the city and yet I do not exaggerate the condition in the way you described aboe about trickle, if someone has a trickle even with a flow restrictor there is an issue with the plumbing, it is not only about the settings on the shower head. In my case I just opened the part and removed the plastic restrictor and that was all it took. I still have the main water restriction and the shower is not blasting but I am not looking to cry politics when there is something that is not 100% selfish to my preferences.

@Raiders22

 Not sure this logic is comprehensive or accurate. The items you mentioned are not extreme with modifications and adjustments just like in the past the initial changes to things like seat belts or asbestos paint or lead pipe plumbing or a cat converter on a car and a slew of other things when the changes were made it was met with similar skepticism just as you are in that reply.

There are some areas where water is scarce like where I live and having regulated water or flow restriction is meant for conservation and also to save money for the consumer via less consumption and less use fees. My house was built 15 years ago and code is to install a water pressure gauge at the main, it sets water pressure at a non-adjustable rate and is done for a variety of reasons, same goes for the plastic piece in shower heads (which anyone with a little sense can remove very very easily) and same goes for things like monoxide poison sensors. 

I dont get the rage that some groups associate with regulation and lump most things into political complaining when in most every instance there is reasoning behind it. This voodoo complex conspiracy theory ranting that many do just lacks reality and logic.

Appreciate that you were not banned for repeated issues and your past issues.

If this does continue I would be confident that the next time you will be banned instead.
