Trump's NFT digital trading cards

[The Question]

This is what happens when people focus on the messenger to the exclusion of the message. It's every bit as embarrassing on the 'For' side as it is on the 'Against' side.

We elected Trump in order to kick the establishment in the balls. The establishment responded by trying to crucify Trump -- but Trump was not the message. Conversely, a pack of shit-for-brains sycophants fell in love with Trump -- also not grasping the idea that Trump was not the message.

 

[jack]

So then, what was the message? I seem to have lost it in the cacophony.....

 

[Mirah]

The shit for brains sycophants are the message.

However, NFT digital art is not tangible, is it? Can you print it out on cheap paper and put it on your fake mantel over your fake fireplace in your mobile home?

Srsly
I don't understand it either. If it is digital how does it sell out?
And what is it? Do I recieve a file?

 

[The Question]

So then, what was the message? I seem to have lost it in the cacophony.....

At least one serious leftist managed ot get the message:

"I know a lot of people in Michigan that are planning to vote for Trump and they don't necessarily like him that much, and they don't necessarily agree with him. They're not racist or rednecks, they're actually pretty decent people, and so after talking to a number of them I wanted to write this:

'Donald Trump came to the Detroit Economic Club and stood there in front of Ford Motor executives and said, "if you close these factories as you're planning to do in Detroit and build them in Mexico, I'm going to put a 35% tariff on those cars when you send them back and nobody's going to buy them."

It was an amazing thing to see. No politician, Republican or Democrat, had ever said anything like that to these executives, and it was music to the ears of people in Michigan and Ohio and Pennsylvania and Wisconsin -- the "Brexit" states.

You live here in Ohio, you know what I'm talking about. Whether Trump means it or not, is kind of irrelevant because he's saying the things to people who are hurting, and that's why every beaten-down, nameless, forgotten working stiff who used to be part of what was called the middle class loves Trump. He is the human molotov cocktail that they've been waiting for. The human hand grande that they can legally throw into the system that stole their lives from them.

And on November 8, Election Day, although they lost their jobs, although they've been foreclose on by the bank, and next came the divorce and now the wife and kids are gone, the car's been repoed, they haven't had a real vacation in years, they're stuck with the shitty Obamacare Bronze Plan where you can't even get a fucking percocet. They've essentially lost everything they had, except one thing -- the one thing that doesn't cost them a cent, and is guaranteed to them by the American constitution: the right to vote.

They might be penniless, they might be homeless, they might be fucked over and fucked up it doesn't matter, because it's equalized on that day - a millionaire has the same number of votes as the person without a job: one.

And there's more of the former middle class than there are in the millionaire class.

So on November 8, the dispossessed will walk into the voting booth, be handed a ballot, close the curtain, and take that lever or felt pen or touchscreen and put a big fucking X in the box by the name of the man who has threatened to upend and overturn the very system that has ruined their lives: Donald J. Trump.

They see that the elite who ruined their lives hate Trump. Corporate America hates Trump. Wall Street hates Trump. The career politicians hate Trump. The media hates Trump, after they loved him and created him, and now hate.

Thank you media: the enemy of my enemy is who I'm voting for on November 8.

Yes, on November 8, you Joe Blow, Steve Blow, Bob Blow, Billy Blow, all the Blows get to go and blow up the whole goddamn system because it's your right. Trump's election is going to be the biggest fuck ever recorded in human history and it will feel good." -Michael Moore

 

[The Question]

The message is simple: Fuck the system. The system has spent decades proactively demonstrating the fact that it hates ordinary people (and, these days, normal people). Well, we hate the fucking system right back, and Trump was a great big loud mouthed obnoxious road-cone orange "Fuck you, too!"

We got offered a choice -- a clown or a fucking harridan in a pantsuit. The deal was obvious -- we were supposed to take the fucking corruptocrat with tits.

So we picked the fucking clown instead, just to stick it to the machine for once.

Wanna know something? I'd have voted for Bernie Sanders, if the machine hadn't taken him off the table and then paid him to not fight back. He's out of the running with me now, of course, because he took the payola and fucking obeyed. The point is: anything to put a hot poker in the establishment's eye.

Writer and director TizzyEnt posted the following video on Thursday, wondering if Trump’s trading cards were “more than just a sad grift,” as a follower had pointed out. As he explains, Trump had 45,000 cards made, but was only selling 44,000 on the website at $99 — for a net profit of just over $4.3 million.

He went on to note that of the payment methods accepted, cryptocurrency was an option. Furthermore, the FAQ section stated that there was a “strict limit” of 100 Trump trading cards per purchaser or household.

So what does that mean? Or as TizzyEnt wondered, why would Trump care if someone wanted to buy up the whole lot if they were enough of a super fan?

Well, as he went on to point out, 100 cards at $99 each amounts to $9,900 — or a mere $100 less than $10,000, the required limit that the Bank of Secrecy Act imposes on transactions that must be reported. “So he can get more than $4.3 million dollars and never have to disclose a single one of the transactions involved,” TizzyEnt explained.

“Now let’s say you own a business, and you got your hands on a whole bunch of money that is, um, dirty,” he continued. “And you need to clean it. So you start another business where you sell air at $99 a pop. And then you can just sit there with the click of a mouse, $9,900 at a time is justifiably yours.”

“Maybe you even put some of that money in crypto?” he continued. “Uh, don’t worry, you can liquidate that through this process as well.”

Adding even more credence to this theory, TizzyEnt observes that the fine print on the NFT sales site also stipulates that the funds will not be used for political purposes — e.g., his Presidential campaign — so it’s all Trump’s money, free and clear. “So even if no one’s meemaw and pawpaw falls for this, Trump can literally just sit back and clean more then $4.3 million dollars,” he concluded, jumping to the update that Trump did, in fact, quickly sell out.

And this is all before you take into account the shady shell company registered in Delaware that licensed the cards, which uses Trump’s very own Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach as a mailing address. Nothing to see here!

With him I prefer to let what he does speak for itself.

There's a lot of pileon, but there's a reason he's at the tip of the media's toungue every. fucking. second.

 

[The Question]

There's a lot of pileon, but there's a reason he's at the tip of the media's toungue every. fucking. second.

There's more than one reason. Here's a couple:

1. The (legacy media, and even much of 'new') media is the propaganda arm of the establishment. They hate who and what the establishment hates, and their job is to try to make every individual one of us believe that collectively the rest of us hate what the establishment hates, too. That's the purpose of propaganda, after all; it's not to make the individual believe ridiculous shit; it's to make the individual feel isolated and outcast because everybody except him believes that ridiculous shit, and he had better "get with the program" and choose to believe it along with the rest of the herd. To that end:
1A. They will hate anyone or anything that breaks their monopoly on the narrative. They not only want absolute control over what you say and what you write, but also what you hear and what you read.
2. Trump, as a message, was intensely hurtful to the establishment. That's why Trump, the very flawed, very human messenger, is pilloried. If you don't believe that, look back at how he was treated by the establishment before he was set up to play Heel opposite Hillary. He was fucking loved. They didn't have one problem with the man, until he beat them when he wasn't supposed to.
2A. By villifying Trump, the establishment, via the media, is trying to shame those who sent them the message that the system is still "vulnerable" to the forces of Democracy. Actual Democracy, not the Oligarchy the system has drawn a Democracy face on. "You voted to kick us in the nuts, you should feel ashamed of yourselves for that! It's bad of you to oppose us! You're a bad person if you resist!"

There you go. There it all is, and I think you're an intelligent enough man that you could intuitively feel all of that, already, even if you might never have articulated it point by point like that.

WHO: Vaccine Skeptics Are 'A Major Killing Force Globally'

A new social media campaign from the World Health Organization (WHO) labels vaccine skeptics as a "major killing force globally."

If you don't blindly obey, according to pediatrician and vaccine advocate Peter Hotetz, you are literally a villain.

I had to quit reading at some point. Trump is nobody's hero. He is a self-serving cow patty who sexually fantasizes about his oldest daughter while commenting on the quality of his youngest daughter's breasts while thinking forward on how to best throw his second oldest son under the bus if need be and how to throw his oldest son's girlfriend under the bus if that needs to happen too. He buried his first ex-wife on a golf course for a tax deduction. He didn't fuck the system. He fucked absolutely everyone in the whole country. He turned down his salary of a few hundred thousand to distract his sycophants from the millions he was sticking it to us, the taxpayers, for his protection detail to stay at his golf club properties and hotels. Yeah - he might have said he was going to charge a tariff blah, blah, blah. That worked out so great. His tariffs caused such a backlash they hurt our farmers which the US borrowed money from China to bail out. His Evangelical's God knows for sure we needed to be in debt more to China - North Korea's nuclear enabler. Wonder what is in those "love letters" exchanged between North Korea's dictator and Dictator-Wanna-Be Trump? Trump was the messenger and he is the message. Trump and his followers are pieces of shit. While they bitch, moan, and groan and talk about how terrible the government is treating them they go out and spend a boat load of money on Trump's crap. Must be doing pretty good if they've got money to spend on NFT garbage. They gripe about the southern border. Texas received more than $8 BILLION dollars for border security. Governor Abbott crybabies nobody is giving him money to fix the border. Trump built pieces of wall that fell down they were so crappy. So far as griping about Obama Care - the Republicans didn't come up with anything better. The Republicans never come up with anything better. They are snowflake crybabies who will lie, cheat, and steal when they lose an election. They will conspire to murder anyone who does not agree with them. And what do they want agreement on? Hatred for anyone who isn't them. And what are they? Homophobes. Racists. Hypocrites. Liars. Thieves. Cheats. Sexual predators. Gun worshippers. So called Christian Conservatives who want to shove their murderous religion down everyone's throat. Anybody who thinks Trump is a hero is a piece of crap. They can take their message and choke on it.

And that, ^^, kids, is what the desired result of propaganda looks like. I spelled it out for ya, but eloisel was good enough to come along and provide a living example of it. Well done, eloisel.
