Let’s see if @EdMarkey or @sethmoulton can offer ANYTHING other than Orange Man Bad arguments tonight.
Have you noticed not one time has Seth or Ed said: “John Deaton’s ideas on how to reform energy, housing or healthcare are bad?”
Because they can’t. Their only argument is that people shouldn’t vote for me because I’m not a Democrat - like them.
When you think about one-party rule and what voting for only Democrats has cost MA, they actually make the case for voting for me.
All you will hear tonight are election-year SLOGANS - not solutions.
Senate Democrats: you can’t call for compromise then not vote for it. You can’t complain there isn’t regulation but have the deal on the table to do so then vote NO. The US deserves to lead. Vote YES on CLARITY.
Most Americans can't stand Israel and don't want to finance it. The numbers are only get worse for Tel Aviv with each passing month.
And that's true globally as well. Israel is a pariah state. It remains popular only in DC and in various elite enclaves:
Hey @Sen_Alsobrooks - along with every Democrat who argues they can’t vote for the Clarity Act unless state Attorneys General are in charge of the ethics enforcement: You’re suggesting is what’s unserious.
I’ve never been shy about criticizing this President when I think he’s gotten it wrong, including on crypto policy, where I’ve pushed back on positions I believed were bad for retail investors and market integrity. But on this specific question, the Democrats’ insistence on state Attorneys General enforcement doesn’t hold up.
The CLARITY Act is federal legislation establishing a federal regulatory framework for digital assets. The Department of Justice - not fifty different state AGs with fifty different political incentives and fifty different interpretations - is the appropriate body to enforce federal law.
Handing enforcement to state AGs invites exactly the kind of inconsistent, patchwork application that makes it harder for legitimate market participants to know what the rules actually are, while opening the door to the kind of politicized targeting we’ve already seen state AGs use against industries and individuals they simply disagree with.
If Democrats are serious about consumer protection in crypto markets, they should want uniform, predictable federal enforcement - not a system where enforcement varies depending on which state you’re in and which party controls that AG’s office.
Currently, there are no restrictions on government officials issuing meme coins, NFTs, or other cryptocurrencies. FTX happened in part because of the lack of regulatory clarity in America and retail investors lost big time going offshore.
Make no mistake about it: voting no comes down to not wanting Trump to take a legislative victory lap shortly before the midterms. Period. And it’s disgusting, un-patriotic and hurts the people you’re claiming to want to protect.
2009 Little Caesars Pizza Bowl 🍕🏈
Marshall closed the 2009 season with a statement.
Behind Martin Ward’s two rushing touchdowns, a 58-yard punt return touchdown by Darius Booker, and a defense that held Ohio to just 123 total yards, including only 12 on the ground, the Herd defeated the Bobcats 21-17 in Detroit.
With just 40 seconds remaining, DeQuan Bembry sealed the victory with a game-clinching interception, securing Marshall’s first bowl victory since the 2002 GMAC Bowl and capping a remarkable turnaround to a 7-6 finish under interim head coach Rick Minter.
Championships and bowl trophies are remembered, but so are the teams that restore a program’s foundation. Thank you to the 2009 Herd for helping move Marshall football back in the right direction.
Give ’Em Hell, Herd. 🦬💚

🚨 2008: Marshall vs. Houston 🚨
Under the lights on ESPN2, Marshall debuted its green helmets for the first time—and they quickly became the backdrop for one of the biggest wins of the Mark Snyder era.
Future NFL QB Case Keenum and one of the nation’s most explosive offenses came to Huntington… and left with a loss.
Marshall controlled the game from start to finish, rushing for 249 yards while holding the ball for more than 37 minutes. Mark Cann accounted for 3 total touchdowns, Darius Marshall rushed for 102 yards and added 63 receiving yards, while Cody Slate and Emmanuel Spann each found the end zone.
One of the biggest storylines? Marshall unveiled a new offensive package featuring Darius Passmore taking snaps at quarterback, helping the Herd keep Houston’s defense off balance while adding 113 total yards.
The defense answered every challenge. The Herd sacked Case Keenum 4 times, forced 2 interceptions (Ashton Hall and Maurice Kitchens), and Maurice Kitchens delivered one of the biggest plays of the night with an 80-yard fumble return after a goal-line takeaway. Marshall also held Houston to just 106 rushing yards and handed Keenum his lowest passing total of the season.
Those green helmets. Midweek primetime game under the lights. A packed Joan. It doesn’t get much better than that.
Who was there for this one? ⬇️

Getting increasingly annoyed about the mainstream media shitting on datacenter power consumption. Annoyed because it starts to clearly affect the sentiment of non-IT people around me. Which sounds retarded to me.
Datacenter power consumption is being discussed as a standalone thing (and boy is it bad for the world)
Meanwhile: we ALL use services that NEED those same datacenters to operate and consume power. The power consumption of the datacenters isn't a standalone thing: it should be allocated to every individual. A ton of small parts are on all our accounts.
Our social media? Our smart lightbulb? Our Netflix binging? Our spell check? Email? Photo sync? That's all responsible. We can't just blame datacenter power consumption for our power shortages without reflecting on our own wants, needs and behaviour.
So. I said it. No one will care, but at least I vented. Thanks for listening 🤣
@sentosumosaba@GregPate12@sentosumosaba Correct me if I'm wrong. What SWIFT is building is a really cool but highly complex, centralized payment system. The smart contracts it's built on are notably susceptible to attacks and the network will still allow swift to toll along the way.
@sentosumosaba What people don't realize is how ground breaking the XRPL really is. What SWIFT is doing now is a kin to how Ford and GM responded to Tesla. Yes, they got better at building EVs, however their are some things Tesla just does Better!!
Rare moment where my professional and personal worlds collide: XRP is now the first crypto on the jersey of a major college athletics program, at my alma mater.
XRP Family, meet the Jayhawks. Rock Chalk!
@scottmelker So misinformed and hyperbolic
GENIUS vs CLARITY distinction... your post mixes them up for dramatic effect
Genius did NOT do that
Clarity IS trying to do that
Under your logic... they're betting Clarity passes - because then they'll keep the yield for themselves
@MaxJordan_N@ZaidJilani So it's "extra" bad depending on who the "bad word" is said too? That's completely retarded!!! It's this thought process that makes us black folk look ridiculous.
@hugo_rune3791@JohnHMcWhorter Because they've obviously done a better job of assimilating for obvious reasons. This type of learned behavior is documented all across the world and at various different times in history. This is not to excuse what he did, It just explains his mindset.
