Erik EllestadWhat I really want to know about Hunter Biden's pardon is why the Saudis gave Jared Kushner two billion dollars.
sOlOw-NHPaging James Comer...Mr. James Comer...Mr. Comer?
Moose Jolly Holcomb@ellestad yes why indeed 🤔
No Gods , no Masters! RESIST
Nicole ParsonsPutin & BRICS nations really want to replace the US dollar with the equivalent of fairy gold; cryptocurrency.
The money of organized crime, sanctions evasion, human trafficking, money laundering, & tax fraud.
Wall Street also wants taxpayers & utility payers to subsidize these energy hogs, like oil gets subsidized.
Electricity rates are going up. Obsolete nuclear & coal plants may re-open on the taxpayers dime.

Trump’s Crypto Project Was a Bust Until Justin Sun Stepped In
Donald Trump’s crypto project, World Liberty Financial, was looking like a bust. The president-elect and his sons had been promoting its cryptocurrency for weeks, saying it would “make finance great again,” but the industry largely rejected it. Sales fell 93% short of the goal, so low they failed to hit the minimum required to trigger a payout to Trump.

What is the value of a pension if converted to cryptocurrency? Republican billionaires want to end Social Security
How does a society decarbonize if 30% of its energy use goes to AI & cryptocurrency?
xs4me2To have Trump elected… didn’t you know?
tuban_muzuruThe last paragraph of Orwell's Animal Farm is the best explanation I've ever found...
Budgegeria 🦜@ellestad Kushner got pardoned, because he is soooo nice. Hunter is the devil because son of Democrat. As you can see, there is a biiiiigly difference and why Hunter's pardon is an outrage.
Biden doesn't give a fuck about MAGA hypocrisy.
John A. Wojtowicz@ellestad
Thank you for your post.
Certainly a valid question. I believe that Biden's pardon of Hunter "trumps" trump's non-pardon of Kushner.
Peace
