Only those foreign thoughts, like health care for everyone

Everyone knows that prayers alone are useless.

One thought must be sent with every prayer to meet the “Thoughts and Prayers” quota…

I believe this is called “Taking the Fifth”

Why not use both? If your government requires KYC, you ain’t getting around that. They want to track crypto the same way they track other assets, and that will involve monitoring all the on/off ramps. But once you have crypto assets, you now have the freedom to transfer them wherever you want, including wallets and exchanges that are more open/have fewer documentation requirements.

However, this freedom still doesn’t exempt you from legal requirements, no matter how much bullshit you think they are. If the non-KYC exchange you transfer to happens to be under some sort of sanction, then you might get screwed if the authorities find out. Are they paying attention to you? Probably not. But it’s up to you to decide whether the potential penalty is worth the risk.

They’re both shitty, but as to who’s the shittiest, that clearly goes to Elon. Trump has never used his kids as human shields. Trump’s kids tolerate him enough as adults to be business partners with him.

And while Trump has made clear that he finds his daughter attractive, I don’t think it’s in a pedo way, but rather in a “Look what I made” way. Somehow, in his mind, having a hot daughter makes him more Alpha. (No word on what Tiffany thinks of this.)

The bitcoin community in particular “has historically been about freedom from sovereign interference,” he said.

Maybe 10 years ago that was true. But now the Bitcoin Community is all about Number Go Up

I suppose there is one risk to using a cold wallet often: if your use if that wallet is normalized, then it can be harder to spot malicious things when they happen, if you are not diligent.

Take that hack that happened last year on that one exchange (I forget which). It was reported in the press that their cold storage was hacked, but in reality what happened was an extremely targeted attack that redirected cold wallet transactions to addresses controlled by the hacker without the signers’ knowledge. The same thing can happen on a hot wallet, of course, but you have fewer funds in that, don’t you?

So just to be safe, if you use a cold wallet for transactions like this, make sure to limit the number of devices you use it with, and practice good internet hygiene on those devices.

As long as all the keys are sufficiently random, there isn’t realy any additional risk to paying directly from a cold wallet, it just has more steps.

So, they lied, as part of their official duties. In a sane world, that should get them fired.

It’s important to realize that immigration courts are not part of the Judiciary here, they are administrative courts that are part of the Executive Branch. So the judge works for Pam Bondi and Donald Trump, and has no independence whatsoever.

Have you ever been to an El Salvadorian prison, Joey?

If the judge thinks they are ignoring her orders, she absolutely can jail certain officials for civil contempt. Civil contempt has no set term, they simply stay in jail until the order is complied with. And since it is a civil charge, Der Gröpenfuhrer can’t pardon it.

In this case, though, the order is just to provide regular updates on the progress of the case. So an official goes to jail, and then just gets released when those updates come.

Sure does. But see that ® after her name? It means that laws and ethics do not apply to her.

I hope that judge is pissed off enough to start jailing Administration officials for contempt.

I guess we are now officially tired of all the winning…

Yes. And if he is allowed to do this to immigrants who came here legally under policies he doesn’t like, he will extend this to other people he doesn’t like, like people with too much melanin, or people who don’t agree with all his policies.

Heck, he could extend this to people with vaginas, under the theory that they shouldnt need a financial identity separate from their husband’s.

Haha, he is literally canceling people he doesn’t like, who got their social security numbers legally at the time they got them. Quite literally “unaliving” their financial identity in the US.

If this stands, this won’t be the last group he attacks.

The big issue is that Trump promised his supporters that he would root out the millions of “criminal illegals” in the country who “rig the vote” for Democrats. It turns out, though, that the undocumented people who are here are just as law-abiding as everyone else. (And they don’t vote, because they can’t, and they understand that misrepresenting that is a sure ticket to getting kicked out.)

So in order for Kristi Noem to keep her made-for-TV raids on the air, they need to go after hardened criminals like students, veterans, and gay people. As well as non-citizens who are already in the system (and abiding by the law). There is no plan, other than to harass anyone who looks like they don’t belong, and let them know they are not welcome here.
