  1. I finally caught up with some reading, and found an interview I don’t think has been mentioned here:

    Colorado Matters, CPR: District Attorney talks the long and strange case of Tina Peters

    Straightforward review of the case from Dan Rubenstein’s perspective.  But there was some “news” to me:

    Rubinstein: Right. And I keep getting asked questions about other people I might want to charge, and I still do have within the statute of limitations, the ability to charge Sherrona Bishop and Conan James Hayes. I’m really hoping that the federal authorities file some charges against them, and I know they have some restrictions with election times, and so hopefully we’ll have an answer soon as to whether or not there’s going to be federal charges. But I keep getting asked the question, “am I going to pursue more charges?” And I think the cost to this community has been so great as far as all the different things we’ve gone through: the regular newspaper stories about it, how others around the country view Mesa County. 

    I mean, this is a fantastic, beautiful, county that has great mountain biking and wine industry and amazing university and all these great things that we want to champion and …

    Warner: And presumably safe elections?

    Rubinstein: Right? And this is what we’re known for. I think it’s time to move on.

    1. That’s insane.

      They think not protecting their citizens from these election mess morons will help people relate western Colorado with tourism? 

      Delusional faith in the Republican party

      Do your job and charge them!

  2. In recent days, our dear Elon has used his $44 billion brain fart platform to say he would put a baby into Taylor Swift, and to make what he claimed was a funny about why nobody's tried to assassinate the sitting President and Vice President. Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

    1. I guess there's a thing on Twitter where push-back responses end with "it's not rocket science, Sissy SpaceX". Who thought it would be a good idea to let Sissy control 60% of the communication satellites in space? 

    2. He deleted the assassination Tweet. Musk should get bounced from every corporation he works for. If this was a Democrat calling for Trump's assassination Republicans would demand nothing less.

      1. I'm with you, JB. There are assassination jokes that random weirdos with small followings make, and then there are those from guys like Musk that get read by millions, and if even a tiny percentage of readers are unhinged enough to take the plain text seriously……I do inappropriate humor with the best (worst) of them, but it boggles my brain that a guy like him wouldn't know better in the first place.

  3. Trump's already working to spray his Trump-stink on another market — Crypto.  With his reverse-Midas Touch, even his Wall Street backers are questioning whether to vote for him afterall.

    Donald Trump's family is preparing to launch a new crypto project on Monday evening, and while many digital-asset boosters are cheering the venture as further evidence of the former president's dedication to crypto, several supporters worry it could backfire.
     

    Nic Carter, a crypto-focused venture capitalist at Castle Island Ventures, told MarketWatch that as a Trump supporter, he is worried the project will be a failure.

    "My primary concern is that, as a Trump supporter, this will be a reputational fiasco if this launches in a stillborn way, or worse gets hacked by North Korea," Carter said.

    A Bloomberg report indicated that the Trump family is working with Chase Herro, who was affiliated with the Dough Finance decentralized protocol and that World Liberty will be based on a revision of the Dough protocol.

    The protocol will have its own token called WLFI and insiders will keep 70% of the stock, with the founding team set to receive a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the other 30%, according to a white paper obtained by CoinDesk.

    Bloomberg reported that Dough Finance, now inactive, only attracted $3.2 million in total activity before being hacked in July for $2 million.

    Fred Kreuger, a California-based bitcoin investor with a large following on social media told MarketWatch that the launch of the project "makes it really hard for me" to consider voting for Trump, even after donating money to the campaign and supporting Trump throughout the current cycle.

    "A lot of us feel like for him to come out and say I'm launching my own coin and keeping 70% of it right before an election is kind of not what we signed up for," Kreuger said.

    Man, if you lose Freddy Kreuger, you know you're in trouble 😉

     

  4. One of the best US investors of the past 60 years was Peter Lynch, the lead manager for the Fidelity Magellan Fund. Lynch made millions for people who followed him as the large majority of his stock picks did very well. Lynch, now retired, had a saying: "if I don't understand it, I don't buy it." I doubt Lynch would be buying anything "crypto."
