Donald Trump ran for office for three reasons: 1) stay out of jail 2) exact revenge on his enemies 3) line his pockets Everything else he says is bullshit.

It's easy to buy a politicians vote if you have enough money.

A man in Vancouver was "certified insane" on a sidewalk with no evaluation. A psychiatrist saw him in a cafe weeks earlier and signed the paperwork from across the room. No exam. No hearing. No judge. When police came to collect him, he was calm, cooperative, and asked to attend an appointment voluntarily. They took him to a hospital anyway. Days earlier he'd been at a school board meeting warning about authoritarian federal laws. Shortly after, he was certified and picked up off a street. This is the same country that froze trucker convoy donors' bank accounts without court orders. The same country building laws to define what you can say, record everything you do online, and cut your internet if they consider you a threat. It's always framed as safety. The architecture is always control. Self-custodial money exists for exactly this reason.

Obama stock trades as president: 0. Biden stock trades as president: 0. Trump stock trades in Q1 2026 alone: 3,600+. When do we all just admit he is a grifter and half of the American population got tricked into thinking he'd help anyone but himself and his inner circle?

You start reading weird books. You buy “The Bitcoin Standard” and then “The Fiat Standard” and then you accidentally end up reading Murray Rothbard, and then somehow you’re reading Mises, and then it’s 11:47 PM on a Tuesday and you’re 340 pages into “Human Action” and you’re highlighting passages about praxeology and your wife comes downstairs and asks if you’re coming to bed and you say “in a minute” but you don’t come to bed for two hours because you have just discovered that everything you were taught about economics in college was wrong, all of it, every single sentence, and now you can’t go back, you can never go back, you have been orange-pilled in a way that goes deeper than money, you have been epistemologically orange-pilled, you now believe that John Maynard Keynes was a charlatan and the gold standard was actually fine and the income tax is theft and you can never say any of this out loud at a dinner party ever again.

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it. This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect. "Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. 'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth." - Tony Locke

Can you rt this? Maybe we can make a difference

During Ronald Reagan's presidency (1981–1989), the gross national debt nearly tripled, increasing from approximately \(\$998\) billion to \(\$2.9\) trillion. This roughly \(\$1.9\) trillion addition was primarily driven by a combination of major supply-side tax cuts, significantly increased defense spending, and Congress's failure to enact corresponding domestic spending cuts.

Donating $5 million to the people investigating you is corruption. Accepting $5 million from the person you’re investigating is corruption. Our government is run by corrupt billionaires and bought politicians.

The chaos of the Trump presidency makes perfect sense when you see this reality: He is not doing a single thing to help the US. Every decision, even favoring his inner circle, is strictly about what benefits him personally. It is pure self-interest

A college degree in 1980 cost $10,000 total. The same degree today costs $150,000. Starting salaries for graduates have doubled. Tuition has gone up 15x. An entire generation was told education was the path out. It was the path in. Into debt. Into compliance.

“They want you to own nothing. They want you to rent your car, your house, your entire life from them, from a billionaire class that owns everything around you. That's their ideal future, and we can't let them have it.”

Not enough people are talking about this. A Florida airport was renamed after Donald Trump. He walked away with the trademark, the licensing rights, and a deal that lets him profit off every piece of merchandise sold there. But the story of how he got it is even worse. County staff told commissioners that rejecting the name change would put state transportation funding at risk. DeSantis has already removed state attorneys and school board members who dared to cross him. That is the reality the Democratic commissioner who cast the deciding vote was living in when she made her choice: hand Donald Trump control of a public airport or watch Florida Republicans strip funding from the very people she was elected to represent. That is absolutely insane. Florida Republicans handed Trump a money machine and called it a naming rights deal, and the people of Palm Beach County never got a say in any of it. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/m…

For decades, the IRS has been required by law to audit every sitting president annually — a critical safeguard to ensure no president has a secret financial stake in betting against the American people they swore to serve. Every president, Democrat and Republican alike, accepted those audits without question. Because that's what you do when you have nothing to hide. Until now. On May 18, 2026, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche — Trump's own former personal defense attorney, now running the DOJ — quietly signed a one-page document that permanently and "forever" bars the IRS from auditing, investigating, or pursuing any tax claims against Donald Trump, his family, his businesses, or his associates. For anything filed before May 18th. It wasn't announced. It wasn't debated. It was slipped in as a hyperlink in a DOJ press release. And in exchange for what? Trump dropped a $10 billion lawsuit he filed against the IRS — a lawsuit that was days away from being dismissed by a judge over a glaring conflict of interest — and received a $1.7 BILLION "Anti-Weaponization Fund" loaded with YOUR taxpayer money to pay out his supporters, his allies, his Jan. 6 rioters, and anyone else in his orbit who claims they were "unfairly prosecuted." Who decides who gets the money? A five-person commission — every single one appointed directly by Todd Blanche. Trump's guy. Let that sink in. The man appointed his own lawyer to run the Justice Department, dropped a lawsuit he was going to lose, got his entire family legally shielded from ALL past tax accountability, and walked away with nearly $2 BILLION of public funds to hand out to his friends — with zero public transparency about where it goes. This isn't politics. This isn't partisan. This is a criminal operation being run out of the White House on the American taxpayer's dime. If any one of us tried to dodge our taxes and then sued the IRS to make the audits disappear, we'd be in federal prison. The rules don't apply to him. And he's making sure of it — in writing.

Back in late 2020, I spoke with Michael Saylor and asked him why Bitcoin destroys every other store of value. His answer will change how you think about money forever: There is $250 trillion in global assets and every single one of them has the same fundamental problem when you look closely enough. Your real estate is immobile, illiquid, and taxed annually without exception and half of all commercial real estate is structurally impaired from COVID with at least a decade of uncertainty still ahead. Your bonds only work when interest rates keep falling and that game has a mathematical floor because the moment rates go negative everyone pulls their money out simultaneously and the entire mechanism that made bonds attractive for four decades inverts overnight. Your equities get taxed at every single layer of existence: > revenue gets taxed as sales tax > cash flows get taxed as income tax > expenses get taxed as payroll tax > trade gets taxed as tariffs (plus regulatory risk sits on top of all of it) And when the price rises by a factor of ten it does not become safer, it becomes more dangerous because it is delaminating from its fundamentals and any disappointment from that point causes catastrophic volatility. Here is what most people never understand about money: Every traditional store of value you own is a vertebrate and if you are a vertebrate you can be killed with a needle because there is a headquarters, a jurisdiction, a regulator, a court that can reach in and end it. Bitcoin is a swarm of hornets with no headquarters to raid, no jurisdiction to exploit, no CEO to arrest, and no regulatory throat to cut because there is no throat. Your money should be a single celled organism, the base layer of the ecosystem, not a vertebrate with a backbone that can be decapitated the moment it becomes inconvenient to the wrong government. Bitcoin is the only asset that structurally solves the problem every other asset you own creates:

A house in 1970 cost $23,000. The same house today costs $400,000. Wages since 1970 have grown 4x. House prices have grown 17x. This is not a housing crisis. This is what 56 years of broken money looks like in bricks and mortar.

“If we erase January 6th, it didn’t happen” “If we don’t release certain inflation data, there’s no inflation” “If we don’t measure food insecurity, no one’s hungry” “If we delete research on right-wing violence, there’s no right-wing violence” “If we stop Covid testing, we’ll have fewer cases” The Trump administration wants you to believe their propaganda is fact, and control the majority of mainstream media and social platforms to reinforce their lies. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

This is the least effective Congress I’ve ever served in, and the most frustrating one I’ve ever experienced. Why? Because Speaker Johnson has entirely surrendered the power of the House of Representatives to Donald Trump. Speaker Johnson has sat on his hands while Trump has walked all over Congress. Trump raised your taxes through tariffs without a single congressional vote. He sent the military to war in Iran without ever asking Congress. He took money that was already budgeted and spent or withheld it however he wanted. Every single one of those decisions belongs to Congress under the Constitution. And every single time, my Republican colleagues have looked the other way. This is the most corrupt Administration in American history, and my Republican colleagues are to blame for allowing this to continue. They have enabled this behavior, they have conducted ZERO oversight, and used every procedural tool available to stop Democrats from doing the work they refuse to do themselves. This is the most spectacular failure of congressional leadership our country has ever witnessed. wsj.com/politics/why-c…

Tulsi Gabbard is a coward None of us will live for ever and I would rather die on my feet than bend the knee to this corrupt pedo government. Time to grow a pair and start acting like Americans again.
