With people in Ukraine fighting for their lives, republicans come across as whiney little assholes, unable to handle a 2 second nose swab. Of course we know they are both whiney little assholes and cowardly liars.

(19,199 posts)The crypto-currencies are still wide open for business.
They need to be investigated and regulated. It's nothing but a dodge for criminals, and now oligarchs.
Traitors.

(21,438 posts)that Ukraine requested bit coin donations and got a big amount. Then they requested that Russia be cut off from bit coin so that the oligarchs cannot use it to weather the sanctions. According to Kai Ryssdal, the program's host, the request is being honored and Russia has been cut off from bit coin.
I have no idea how this works. Just relaying what I heard.

(19,199 posts)if they can do that! I don't see how they could stop anyone from from trading in crypto-currencies though. Maybe from within Russia, but these oligarchs have tentacles the world over. They could stop accepting rubles (even with a 30% discount) but again, the tentacles.
Greater minds than mine will have to figure that ball of snot out.

There's NO wiggle room here. No waffling around. No conditional "yes, but..." It's Either/Or.
Is you IS or is you AIN'T?

(2,217 posts)Biden says the best and clearest speech is action. Schumer, Call the senate to order, we have bills to pass. The last thing that Putin wants is for us to govern effectively so it is time to make our government work for the good of America and humanity.

(8,817 posts)I predicted this! But I thought that all the Republican Senators, Republican House members and the Republican owned USSC justices would boycott it.
I'm waiting to see if FOX NEWS even broadcasts it.......
Fox will screen it for out of context news bites and their commentators will tear Biden apart for things he never said or intended to say.
This is beyond un-fathomable............

(11,097 posts)There is no - zero - excuse for the Trumpsters begging off from the State of the Union to avoid being seen applauding (or not) for the brave Ukrainian people defending themselves against a criminal state.
There appears to be no limit to how far the Rethuglicans can sink.
