You’re telling me the digital money made to let people do money laundering and conduct crimes like bribes and pay for illegal stuff maybe not stable in any way shape or form. Shocking truly shocking news.

Talked this week about why removing the fascist boot from your neck will help you find a much bigger audience and, also, your soul.
"There's a reason the Washington Post is going to die before The Onion becomes one of the biggest newspapers in the country: They licked the boot, and we kicked back."

I follow a couple of lads on Instagram in New York who are visiting restaurants from every country that operate in NY.
It amazes me how amazed they are by food that has flavour.
They ask good questions though and really enjoy themselves so that’s excellent.

When you have a "live updates" kind of story and the live updates don't reference the thing you've put in your headline, or in your photo caption, or indeed anywhere much at all, just know that somewhere a former senior sub editor is pulling the wings off butterflies.

To be fair I do think having one national election is kind of a good idea for a nation instead of allowing each electorate to make its own rules. An independent body should determine how to run said elections.
That said, I am not in favour of Donald being given any more power so no.
