US Presidential Election 2024

[Duke of Marmalade]

This is Bobby Kennedy jnr on bitcoin, when he was a potential presidential candidate.

“I intend as President of the United States to sign an Executive Order on day 1… to transfer approximately 200,000 Bitcoin held by the US Government to the US Treasury where it will be held as a strategic asset. …. On day one as President, I will sign another Executive Order directing the US Treasury to purchase 550 Bitcoin daily until the US has a reserve of at least four million Bitcoin. … our nation holds approximately 19% of global gold reserves; this policy will give us around the same proportion of total Bitcoin. The cascading impact of these actions will eventually move Bitcoin to a valuation of hundreds of trillion of dollars. On day one as President, I will sign also an Executive Order directing the IRS to issue public guidance that all transactions between BTC and the USD are unreportable transactions, and by extension untaxable. … Bitcoin is a technology for freedom, for optimism, for independence, for democracy, for transparency, it is the currency of hope, it is the perfect currency.”

This is unmitigated nonsense. The total US stockmarket is 55 trillion so Bobby sees Bitcoin being worth 100s of trillions of US dollars. This is on a par with his madness on health. Trump 2 is a mad house.

The supposed phone call between trump and Kremlin probably happened even though peskov now denying that any call took place at all, then again most of what he says is lies anyway. But someone was saying that Putin didn't like what trump was planning and that's why they now denying the call took place. The proof is that Russian media released naked pictures of melania trump shortly afterwards as a warning to trump to back off

I agree, but there's a lot of voters who have skin in the game who might have found Trump's favourable position on crypto as a big boost. However bad for the country and the world this might be.

All the better to bring about the end of days.

And he is a self made man too.

Wild thought but RFK Jr was for years HUGELY effective in going after corporates breaching environmental regulations. I think Trump putting him in health avoids him being put in a dept where he actually would have made a difference - the EPA. It suits big business, as RFK will just talk total nonsense in Health.

I hope he just talks nonsense and we don't get repeats of his anti vaccine stance which has cost lives.

Case in point re: nonsense, complaining about fast food then couple of days later pictured with Trump eating McDonalds alongside him.
