This is the government equivalent of “you owe me a bajillion dollars!” An unserious fine from an unserious government.

Bold of you to assume Trump knows how to write and the letter was at all legible.

Per the article, the exploit was fixed back in July. Weird to continue to use present tense to describe an exploit that doesn’t exist anymore.

Government mandated ad-buys don’t sound very “free speech” to me.

I am begging automakers to stop putting classic sports car names on gigantic electric SUVs. Use literally any other names.

I had no idea intra-uterine devices were so dangerous.

They are certainly more common than IEDs in the US.

Tangible items can have utility in the real world, where cryptocurrencies can never be anything more than numbers on a display.

Gold can be used in electronics, and I get that people are mad that currencies are just something we all mutually agree have value, but generally speaking powerful governments back those up. Cryptocurrency is backed up by people promising it’s totally gonna be a real currency any second now. Please ignore that crypto can wildly fluctuate in value which generally a horrible thing for a currency to do.

Crypto is hated because it’s an MLM for terminally online people.

It gains value because people want it and people want it because it gains value is both a perfect description of cryptocurrency and scams.

If conservatives had any media literacy, they wouldn’t be conservatives anymore.

TRUMP clearly thinks that he’s got the “one weird trick to get out of any court proceedings, judges hate him!” and its to be as much of an asshole as possible to the judge and then complain that they can’t possibly be impartial because he was such an asshole to them.

Even “liberal” media in the US loves Trump and will print anything that might further the close race narrative, regardless of veracity.

Trump gets eyeballs on news, which directly leads to ad revenue. US media is addicted to Trump as a means of selling ad space and would gladly let the country burn down for a few extra ad sales.

This is literally what the civil war was fought over. Southern states making shitty laws and attempting to enforce them over the will of northern states. The south lost the first time, and they’ll lose again.
