Here's some good news. :)

Why the hell would anybody want to be President if you can't bank a little coin? :cheers:

How the Trump family took over a crypto firm as it raised hundreds of millions

Excerpt:
QuoteLONDON/NEW YORK, March 31 (Reuters) - As World Liberty Financial raised more than half a billion dollars, President Donald Trump's family took control of the crypto venture and grabbed the lion's share of those funds, aided by governance terms that industry experts say favor insiders.
Launched last fall, World Liberty's goal is to allow people to access financial services using cryptocurrencies and without intermediaries like banks in what is called decentralized finance, or DeFi. But it has yet to launch a public platform and has reported only a small staff, a review of the project shows.

You could probably get a great price if you don't mind a few key marks or spray painted dicks on your ride. :)

They had one over the weekend in Arizona.
A guy forced a 61 year old woman off the road.
She rolled down the window and he started punching her, until she bit him.
The cops identified him and "issued a citation" WTF, he should have been arrested for assault.

Sure. Just look at the Clintons and Bidens.

Dick Cheney wasn't president but he still made it work for him.

Lol. Yes, point taken. But at least they had the good taste to be just a little discreet.  :lol:

Dick Cheney was very wealthy before he got into politics.
By comparison, the Clintons and Bidens were white trash grifters.
They were very good grifters, but grifters all the same.

one of our customers hired that plane to fly one of our parts, a 50 ton compressor housing to one of the 'stans
from San Diego about 10 years ago.
It's a shame that plane was destroyed, it was an engineering masterpiece.  :no:

I had a walk around and went inside at an airshow years ago - ladder to climb up to the cockpit etc.
Yes, it's a shame the 'ol bird was destroyed. Like most planes, I admire them but don't like flying in them.
And would NOT have liked to flyski in thatski!

I heard a rumor when I worked at Mori Seiki in the mid-90's that a customer hired them to fly a machine from Japan to the US. They needed it in a day not 14 days on the water plus customs, plus everything else. No way to verify. Badass if it's true.
