Marshal Prolapse posted:https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1484592913614970887?s=21 So, what's supposed to be the big own here? One of Trump's advisors wrote a draft of an EO that wasn't put into practice, and they have a draft of a speech that he didn't give. If you ask Trump about this he's going to say "Yeah, Sidney Powell wrote this up and I said it was loving stupid and didn't execute it." Is there any evidence that Trump directed her to write this EO? From the politico article: Politico posted:
From the Axio article: Axios posted:The hours to come would pit the insurgent conspiracists against a handful of White House lawyers and advisers determined to keep the president from giving in to temptation to invoke emergency national security powers, seize voting machines and disable the primary levers of American democracy. All these articles show is that Sidney Powell is nuts.

Conservative estimates are about half that, worst-case estimates are three times that. And of course, most of that's being generated through coal.

Assuming that 100 TWh/year is the right number, then yes, it's a bit shy of every nuclear power plant in Canada put together. For comparison, as of 2015, Canada's power grid was 79 GW of hydro, about 16 GW each of natural gas and coal, 14 GW of nuclear, 7.6 GW of wind, 1.2 GW of fuel oil combustion, and 0.2 GW of solar.

This is kinda lol at 2+ hours to talk about how awful NFTs are but it’s also somehow enthralling at just how deep the crypto rabbit hole goes (this video also just went live today btw): https://youtu.be/YQ_xWvX1n9g Tl:dr the technology is bad for what it’s trying to do, the promises of it are only superficially being met (but not really at all) and it (crypto coins, NFTs, and NFT/crypto derivatives) are all a mashup and/or combination of every scam scheme you can think of.

PeterCat posted:Is there any evidence that Trump directed her to write this EO? Wrong question. The correct question: was Trump acting with and/or directing Patrick Byrne, Sidney Powell, and Mike Flynn? Timeline thread here: https://twitter.com/Garrett_Archer/status/1484652922042388481 Writing it off as "Powell is wacko" misses all the predicate events documented above. Donnie loves freelancers and there was a group of people looking to completely fabricate evidence of election fraud, though it got supercharged by the "mystery" (later debunked) of the Antrim County fuckup. Then this meeting happens: https://www.axios.com/trump-oval-office-meeting-sidney-powell-a8e1e466-2e42-42d0-9cf1-26eb267f8723.html So again, it's really not clear that any of this will elevate into criminal charges, but it's not just "wacky lady brings in weird EO and Donnie says no" that will be his magic defense that absolves him of everything.

The guy in the Bloomberg article saying, “crypto is starting to go the way of equities” is in no quiet way saying that the crypto market has gotten so tucked up convoluted that it’s synonymous with the collatetalized debt obligation and default swap bullshit banks were pulling that led to the 2008 global financial crisis. CDOs and double tranche CEOs and synthetic CDOs and everything in between was not real currency either, and banks were literally propping themselves up on them like they were. This time, thankfully(?), a massive crash of the crypto market (I imagine as soon as Biden or any other major superpower signs in ink a bunch of regulatory orders this will spark the massive sell off) it won’t be banks but crypto bros that find themselves bankrupt.
