Or probably to a couple of members of SCOTUS. -
Welp Trump pardoned the J6 seditonists and rioters. A lot of really bad people were part of that.

Explain how he grifted people by creating a meme coin.Originally posted by frank ryan View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

Hey I’m no finance person but this one’s easy isn’t it? On the eve of his presidency his personal corporation launched a new cryptocurrency that at least for now added billions to his net worth. How is that not the dictionary entry for grift?Originally posted by Moliere View Post"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so.

Grift seems to imply that you were tricked. I don't know that you can say you were grifted when you know exactly what you are getting.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View Postτὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντα πλείονες ἢ δυόμενον προσκυνοῦσινComment

I think a more modern definition of grifting is using political office or a position of influence to make money off of dumb gullible people. Seems to apply here.Originally posted by All-American View Post"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Yes. We'd expect no less from the founder of Trump University. It's pathetic.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostComment

I don't know about this one. I guess there is implied value, but you need to be really dumb and gullible to believe any of that. The folks buying this crap have been sending Trump their money already in some form or another. In other words, they are willingly being grifted, so while being dumb, are they really that gullible?Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostGive 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

People who buy these types of coins are often misled or straight up lied to about what the results will be.

It's more than a bit pedantic, but the point stands. We know who he is. If you are buying what he is selling, you know what you're getting.Originally posted by frank ryan View Postτὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντα πλείονες ἢ δυόμενον προσκυνοῦσινComment

I mostly ignored the Inauguration yesterday because I find that is best for me. I am a little disappointed that I did though, because had I paid attention, I could have answered the question: Where in the world is Carmen San Diego?Comment
