As POOTWH is still very much relevant as the titular head of the repub party, which is currently owned by him lock, stock & barrel, and considering the damage he's done to US democracy and the republic, unfortunately, he's still worth discussing.
An exchange between Lerxst and mrussel1 regarding the repubs and their ability to flip seats and control the house, with Kevin as speaker, caught my eye. The repub echo chamber is vast and while only 4 million folks watch Faux News, there's all the other repub media outlets echoing that shit. Think Steve O's podcast, WSJ, NYP, etc. etc. etc. which is a third of repub voters, POOTWH's base, and enough to be doing what he's doing and driving the party. That needs to change but I'm afraid Deathsantis is just a more polished version of shit.
The other has to do with Santaria and his campaign financing, ties to putin on the ritz and the 2016 election interference. POOTWH with his ties and the documents in Mar-I-Lieo investigation, Santaria being elected and subsequently embraced by Kevin and seated on the Science, Space & Technology committee and how this might be putin on the ritz pressing the envelope and seeing how deeply and for what cost, minimal, I might add, to steal secrets and turn your biggest adversary into an ally. Just because the Iron Curtain came down doesn't mean that KGB dark arts have ceased. Something doesn't add up. Follow the money, particularly for those who are vocal POOTWH supporters in Congress.

In fact, the national debt skyrocketed under Republican president Donald Trump even before the pandemic, thanks to the big tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy that the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated would increase deficits by almost $2 trillion over eleven years. In 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic hit, the debt had grown to $22 trillion. Trump called it a crisis, but his budget that year increased the debt to $23.2 trillion. The CBO warned that the U.S. had never seen deficits so large in a time of high employment.
And then the coronavirus hit, and the debt jumped to $27.75 trillion.
At 5.2% of GDP, the growth of the deficit under Trump was third largest in our history, behind only that under Presidents George W. Bush—who launched two unfunded wars after passing a tax cut and thus presided over deficit growth of 11.7%—and Abraham Lincoln, whose Treasury had to invent a way to pay for a civil war out of whole cloth, resulting in the deficit growing by 9.4% of GDP.

Russian founder of cryptocurrency exchange arrested in Miami
Washington – The founder and senior executive of cryptocurrency exchange Bitzlato was arrested on Tuesday in Miami and charged with directing the company to knowingly transmit funds derived from cybercrimes and other illicit activity, Justice Department officials announced Wednesday.
Anatoly Legkodymov, a Russian national living in China, is accused of using Bitzlato to create a safe financial haven for criminals, requiring little identifying information for its customers and allowing transactions to go virtually untraced and shielded from investigators. According to prosecutors, the company even allowed users to submit fake registrant information to avoid detection. Investigators said that anonymity attracted drug and cyber criminals looking to exchange their illicit money to Legkodymov and his company.
Announcing the arrest, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said Bitzlato's illegal transactions amounted to more than $700 million in direct and indirect exchanges between 2018 and 2022. The company's executives, including Legkodymov, allegedly communicated about the drug dealers and other criminals using their platform to hide their profits, investigators said, and even identified some of the proceeds transmitted through their portals as "dirty money."
The year-long investigation into Legkodymov's allegedly criminal conduct was the result of coordination between federal prosecutors, the U.S. Treasury Department, and French law enforcement officials, Monaco said Wednesday, and culminated in the seizure of Bitzlato's servers across Europe and cryptocurrency. The exchange also faces further regulatory actions by the U.S. Treasury Department, officials said, as it is suspected of being linked to Russian-affiliated ransomware groups.
In April, the Justice Department seized that platform, which officials said accounted for an estimated 80% of all darknet market-related cryptocurrency transactions since 2015 worth $5.2 billion.
Using cryptocurrency, users of Hydra mainly in Russian-speaking countries bought and sold illegal drugs, stolen financial information and fraudulent identification documents, prosecutors alleged. Much of the money used to facilitate these illegal transactions, Monaco said Wednesday, was held in Bitzlato's servers.
"Today marks the elimination of the Hydra-Bitzlato cryptocrime axis," Monaco said, "Coordinated operations like this against Bitzlato—using all tools and designed for maximum impact—are the linchpins of international success against cybercrime."
According to the criminal complaint that was unsealed Wednesday in the Eastern District of New York, Bitzlato did business with customers in the U.S. and its employees advised users that they could transfer funds to American banks. Legkodymov allegedly led the exchange as its senior executive and majority owners from Miami since 2023. He faces a maximum of 5 years in prison if convicted, but federal authorities on Wednesday stressed that the investigation is ongoing and additional charges could follow.
In announcing the charges and arrest, Assistant Attorney General Kenneth Polite, who oversees the Justice Department's Criminal Division, said the international work marked an important step in the federal government's work to combat illegal activity across the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
"We are just getting started," Polite added.

Trump mistook photo of E. Jean Carroll for ex-wife during deposition in rape allegation lawsuit
Former President Donald Trump confused E. Jean Carroll, the writer who has accused him of rape, with ex-wife Marla Maples in a photo he was shown during a deposition, newly unsealed court documents show.
An excerpt of the October deposition released by a federal court on Wednesday includes an exchange where Trump was asked by Carroll's lawyer about a black and white photograph that showed a small group of people, including Trump and Carroll.
"That's Marla, yeah. That's my wife," Trump said, referring to Maples.
Trump lawyer Alina Habba corrected the mistake during the deposition, saying, "No, that's Carroll."
Trump's comments under oath threaten to undercut his repeated denials of Carroll's allegations, claiming she's "not my type."
Trump was married to Maples from 1993 to 1999. Carroll, 79, has alleged that Trump attacked her in a New York department store in the mid-1990s.
NBC News has reached out to Habba for comment.
Maples, 59, was Trump’s second of three wives; the former couple had one child together, Tiffany Trump. In 2005, he married Melania Trump.
The partial release of the deposition comes a week after Trump, who has launched a 2024 presidential bid, requested that a federal judge dismiss Carroll's lawsuit. Judge Lewis Kaplan denied Trump's request, and ordered portions of the deposition be made public.
In the earlier excerpt, Trump denied the allegations against him and repeatedly insulted Carroll, calling her a “whack job” who’s “not my type."
The case is expected to go to trial in April.

His initial comment of "she's not my type" when first accused of rape tells us everything we need to know. What a piece of shit.
