Cryptocurrencies are ruining lives. It’s time to call out all the rug pullers, Ponzi punks, ransomware criminals, tax evaders, and slugs who promote this toxic garbage.
HEY, CRYPTO SLINGERS!
1. You invested real money.
2. You bought play money.
3. You dove into an unregulated market.
4. You rejected oversight.
5. You laughed at fiat currencies.
6. You trusted a bunch of slimeballs.
7. You invested with scumbags.
8. You laughed at centuries of proven monetary tradition.
9. You willingly boosted worthless assets constructed entirely upon the “greater fool theory.”
10. You ignored all the warnings.
11. You gambled.
12. You lost.
Now, fucking deal with it.

Thirty years ago, Marieta and I stayed in Holland for a few months. Her brother lived in Eindhoven, a Dutch city near the border with Belgium and Germany. We took these photos in Nov. 1992.
Those were great days and even better nights. When I think back on those moments, that might have been the happiest time of my life. Well, except for one other moment.
As to my happiest time, my hope is — I still haven’t lived it yet.
Isn’t that a joy to anticipate? Let’s all hope tomorrow is a better day than today and yesterday. And if tomorrow turns out to be something better than where we are now, then that’s something to celebrate.

MY THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Trump is not going away. Republicans created this Frankenstein, and now they are stuck with him.
Does anyone think he just quietly retires and sails off into the sunset? What planet are you living on?
Do you seriously believe Trump gives a Mar-a-Lago-ratfuck about the party or the country or anything other than himself?
He’s going to be a giant orange shitstain on the living room rug at Christmastime and it’s going to be absolutely glorious watching cowardly Republican candidates have to dance around the stench of him for the next two years.

I just got to get this off my chest because it’s been bothering the hell out of me for a long time.
In the final scene of Carlito’s Way, Al Pacino is dying on the Amtrak platform and slips Penelope Ann Miller $70,000 in cash from the vault to raise the unborn baby. But in my estimation, this wad looks like maybe $20,000, at most. Seventy grand would be like two bricks stacked on top of each other. There’s no way this wad is anywhere close to $70 grand.
Relieved. Whew — now, I feel much better.

THESE ARE GLORIOUS TIMES !!!
What a week!
(1) The “red wave” hits a Democratic firewall and goes “pffffffffffft!”
(2) Trump’s endorsement gets cracked as a total candidate killer (now, poor Republicans have to deal with the crazed monster they created for the next two years as he tries to tear everything down, including his own party — this shitshow is going to be fabulous! Order boxes of popcorn!).
(3) Cryptocurrency garbage is crashing through the fucking floor faster than a bowling ball falling through a straw hut. The fraud is exposed. Gather around, my children, light this Ponzi trash on fire, and grab marshmallows. This is a roast for the ages.
(4) I’m up a whopping +31 games flat betting in the NFL this season (110 wagers), absolutely crushing the everlilvingfuckoutifit, and we’re not even at midseason yet!
Man, if I somehow scratch out another 5-unit win in football betting this week and Warnock wins in Georgia, I might just become insufferable.

LET’S CALL IT TRUMPFLATION
Trump’s so-called economic “boom” (a total myth) was due to bust at some point. And now, here we are.
Like a giant ship hitting the iceberg, the economic disaster didn’t happen when we were manning lifeboats. The cause was back on the bridge of the “U.S.S. Economy Titanic” some time ago.
Excuse me for bragging, but I nailed it. I predicted it. I got it right.
