I've been married and I've been divorced. I have kids. I've reprimanded and I've been laid off. I've been in heated arguments and physical altercations and stressful situations 1000s of times. But I never knew nervous perspiration until I started playing Blitz Chess online.

At the time of the deal that created this Nasdaq-listed joint venture, partner Hut 8 Inc. bought World Liberty tokens. Eric Trump also got a stake in American Bitcoin, at no cost.

A company controlled by Donald Trump’s revocable trust is entitled to 75% of net revenue from token sales by World Liberty Financial.

Donald Trump licensed his name and image to a company called Celebration Cards LLC, which raised enormous sums selling the digital token.

The Nasdaq-listed company, recently renamed AI Financial Corp., raised money from investors to buy World Liberty Financial tokens.

we have a republican trifecta government and this is what they have delivered to us. put your petty fucking bullshit beefs aside and loudly blame who is responsible for what fucking ails you, or, if you can’t help yourself, shut the entire fuck up.

I agree that she had a different aesthetic than "working class," but I think she got a lot more cred for her casting as "quirky progressive woman" than she deserved.

I think those on the other side of this question absolutely think "who am I?" is a simple question answered by your parents and your religion and not by your perceptions and experiences or by self-reflection.

Leaving aside the question of general strikes, her posture towards Dems seems to be combative rather than transformative. And more basically, you don't hire a boxer to do your taxes. I have been a fan of her journalism and media criticism, but her candidacy has started to leave me cold.
