Madison Cawthorn RWNJ in the House
Re: Madison Cawthorn RWNJ in the House
To horribly paraphrase Churchill, if satan decked Cawthorn I would at least give a favorable mention of him in the House of Commons.

The Fogbow Idiot Lottery and Gaming Window is not taking any bets on that. We consider it nigh a dead certainty that he ends up in a small room with a lock on the door.

So a RWNJ pumped-and-dumped other RWNJs over a RWNJ meme cryptocurrency, and is now being investigated by a RWNJ publication.

I bet a disgruntled RWNJ who did not like that leak about RWNJ partying in D.C. hinted some details to said RWNJ journalist

Question: do federal insider trading laws apply to unregulated cryptocurrencies or only to regular traded stock?

Re: Madison Cawthorn RWNJ in the House
That adds up. But how cynical must a politician be to run a scam that exploits his own followers' belief in everything he claims to represent on their behalf?
If we take this story at face value (and considering the source, that's a big if), Cawthorn is betting against himself. The scam requires people to believe in the product the scammer is selling. I realize that's always true, but this has the added dimension of exploiting belief in the political idea of "let's go Brandon" and what it represents. It's like a Republican trying to pump-and-dump MyPillow stock, or commemorative Trump coins. It requires the scammer to believe "this is a bunch of worthless shit, but these suckers will buy it" even as he uses his elected position to promote the same worthless shit on behalf of his suckers.
That's the real story here. If there is one.

Re: Madison Cawthorn RWNJ in the House
That reminds me of the old joke: Q: How is duct tape like the Force? A: It has a light side, a dark side and it holds the universe together.
Seriously, one of the few things that I've heard duct tape can not be used for is heating ducts. Nowadays, they use that foil backed tape for that. Apparently, traditional duct tape dries out and loses its seal.

Re: Madison Cawthorn RWNJ in the House
"Duct tape" is actually a misnomer. It was originally "duck tape" named after a certain kind of cotton.
It was first invented by a female factory worker during World War II and originally called 'duck' tape because it was made out of a cotton duck fabric and it repelled water like a duck's back. Duck Brand duct tapes are made with three main components: rubber adhesive, cloth, and film backing.

As a former HVAC tech I can confirm this, It' not foil backed it straight foil tape, with the lack of weaving and the better resistance to temp changes it works better.

Re: Madison Cawthorn RWNJ in the House
Two things: (1) "duct tape" is really not intended to be used for duct work; and (2) re: the issue of who could possibly believe in the "Let's Go Brandon" crypto -- the day after the NASCAR driver deal was announced, the "value" of the crypto exploded such that the outstanding coins had a total value of approximately $570 million; and (3 -- I can't count, sue me) again re: the pump and dump, I suspect that Little Lord Fauntleroy didn't know that pump and dumps are illegal.

But... it requires the believers to not see, or not care, how blatantly they're being exploited and lied to. Yes, that's very much a feature of MAGAism too, but it is also the seed of its own failure.northland10 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 27, 2022 2:39 pm This is the Trump-MAGA world.
