"People compare #Trump to Hitler or to Putin. But for us the closest historical comparison is Boris Yeltsin.

"So today we talk to #JacobSilverman about Trump’s #shitcoins and other #crypto schemes because they remind us so much of 1990s Russia and Yeltsin’s family corrupt deals."

"If, two years ago The New York Times could make the dubious claim that #TechGiants like #Musk were hard to pin down politically, there is no room now for even that level of credulousness. It’s official: #SiliconValley has been fully #MAGA-pilled, and the #tech authoritarians are bringing their money with them." - #JacobSilverman
