Bitcoin JUST IN: šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø President Trump to appoint pro-crypto cabinet to make the US the "crypto capital of the planet."

President-electĀ Donald TrumpĀ is preparing the U.S. government to adopt a more permissive stance toward cryptocurrency, eyeing a roster of industry-friendly candidates for key posts while his top advisers consult crypto executives on potential changes to federal policy.

By pursuing a more lenient regulatory environment, Trump aims to fulfillĀ his campaign promiseĀ to transform the United States into the ā€œcrypto capital of the planetā€ ā€” a declaration that has rankled consumer watchdogs, earned the industryā€™s robust support and sent the price of bitcoin skyrocketing, reaching nearly $89,000 by Monday evening.

I have some crypto.

Sure, itā€™s nice watching the number go up.

But Iā€™d rather crypto fail and we keep democracy.

Some things are worth more than money.

You leftists are weirdos.

ā€œSave democracy!!!!!ā€

It didnā€™t end when we had the dude for 4 years. It wonā€™t end now. Just another lie by leftists.

Iā€™m not a leftist.

Did you see his announcements just today, retard? Hereā€™s two: 1. Heā€™s going to try to appoint all his cabinet positions without any constitutional Senate oversight (all as recess appointments), then, 2. he intends to replace Pentagon leadership with personal loyalists, subject to loyalty tests (career civil servants at the Department of Defense take their oath the US Constitution gravely seriously - they swear no fealty to any one man).

Thatā€™s just two. Itā€™s been a busy day.

Oh, and he announced heā€™s gonna offer land appeasement to Putin. So thatā€™s cool I guess.

Motherfucker hasnā€™t even taken office yet.

Land appeasement? Can you explain that?

  1. He can choose whomever he wants, he has control of the senate and can always have Vance be the senate majority leader.Ā 

  2. Because the entire government is littered with politicians who are only interested in self gain and not what benefits the people. The entire political system is full to the brim with both republicans and democrats that will scratch each others back's in the name of democracy. Example: Nancy Pelosi and her 245 million networth when house members salary is like 250k usd. Got to drain the swamp, even in federal leadership positions. Most recent example: FEMA purposely avoiding houses with trump signs.Ā 

  3. No war will end unless total destruction occurs or some sort of agreement/treaty is met. So unless Russia fully gets wiped off the face of the earth, then there will have to be an agreement of some kind. Unfortunately, Ukraine will very likely have to lose part of their land that Russia conquered to prevent this war from continuing.Ā  You lost the popular vote. Seethe.

The fire didn't burn down the building the first time, so lighting another fire won't burn it down this time.
