So I’ve concluded, after several minutes of research, that gold and silver are worthless in a financial collapse.

- Since not everyone has it, you can’t ’make change’ for it.

- If they do have it, you have to be able to cut/melt/whatever it to the exact %.

- Not everyone will have the same quality of metal, so variables like 10k, 14k, etc. will have to be considered.

- you’d need to carry around a scale, testing kit, cutting tools. Not to mention that shit is heavy.

- counterfeiting and fraud will be rampant. Who polices that?

- without a centralized authority, there’s no telling what it is worth, especially if communications are spotty.

- if someone says ‘this cow costs $5000 USD, 1/4th oz of gold or 5 oz of silver or 200 chickens or 200 gallons of diesel or you build me a fence’ you have to value your own bartering assets against what you *think* might be appropriate.

Also, trying to use precious metals as currency right now is a huuuuge scam. Everything is tied to either cryptocurrencies or you are issued a debit card that is ostensibly tied to some company having a stockpile of metals in a vault somewhere (and charging you monthly or transactional fees).

Can I see it? Can I touch it? Can I have it cashed out in metals? Does it even exist? What happens if it drops 10% in value (as determined by being tied to a fiat currency like the USD) - it’s subject to the same fluctuations as government issued money except it can be reported to the IRS.

(US data) 26 states recognize gold/silver as legal tender but no one is obligated to accept it. PLUS, if you use it as tender it is taxed as selling an asset with the IRS.

I really don’t see that there is anything that will be of value in the event of a global currency collapse except for ammunition, flesh, food, water or fuel.

The only thing that keeps civilization alive is trust, and in that case, we’re proper fucked, friends.

I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.

On July 4th, 2026 - Trump vs Biden in the #UFC ring at the @WhiteHouse.

Who do you think would win in hand to hand combat?

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

Worse than that, and this is ONE story.

Sazan was a protected marine national park. On Dec 30, 2024, weeks before the inauguration, Albania de-protected it and handed Jared’s affiliate “strategic investor” status for fast-tracked permits. Locals already call it Ishulli i Trumpëve. Trump Island.

The buyer is Affinity Partners. Biggest backer: Saudi Arabia’s PIF, $2B, placed six months after Jared left the White House, over the objections of PIF’s own screening committee (“inexperienced,” “excessive fees”). MBS overruled them.

Kushner’s pulled $110M+ in fees from the Saudis for a fund that, by its own filings, returned NOTHING. Foreign money in Affinity jumped from ~$3B to $4.8B across 2024, right as a second term got likely.

On the ground, bulldozers in a flamingo habitat, no permits, no environmental study. A protester who objected got beaten by private guards while police watched.

Albania’s anti-corruption prosecutors have now opened an inquiry into how the land lost its protection.

So no, it’s not a private island they “discovered.” It’s a national park a foreign government de-protected, financed by sovereign wealth the Saudis’ own analysts flagged as a bad bet, routed through the president’s son-in-law.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Just take the Albanian Island deal. Jared and Ivanka secured a $1.4 billion resort on Sazan, a protected island on state land. By his own account, he was introduced to Albania's prime minister on the Rothschilds' yacht. Ivanka called the place a "private island" they "discovered." Albanian prosecutors have now opened a corruption inquiry into how that land lost its protected status.

Sen. Tillis: "Did you actually tell Pulte you were going to punch him in the face?"

Bessent: "No, sir. I actually said I was going to kick his ass."

Tillis: "Good, I share the emotion…I'm not going to support Pulte for DNI…He lost me when he went after Powell."

It’s been a long time since twitter has had a ‘villain of the day’. Good for you, stepping in by being a complete and total asshole in this thread.

[Patrick Masters @PMastersMusic]

Funny, it wasn't released until your father's mental decline was made public. How convenient. But once his mental decline exited the news cycle, we never heard another thing about it.

As for hating you, dude, I have no compassion for any addict. They bring their "disease" upon themselves. I don't watch Fox News or any of the other brain-dead mainstream news bullshit. You literally fucked your dead brother's widow.

Expecting compassion from political opposition is long gone, especially when your side was disappointed the wrong Trump died when his brother passed, or they wished Trump death when he contracted COVID, or their celebration of Charlie Kirk being murdered by some trannie loving moron. I could go on and on.

Or your fucking father's numerous slanderous remarks about MAGA or the unvaccinated bringing a winter of death.

Your side decided to make everything fair game.

Went on Bloomberg - Anthropic and OpenAI are dangerous and unsustainable companies that shouldn’t IPO. The AI bubble is a con and retail investors are the marks.
AI doesn’t have ROI, it’s nothing like AWS/Uber, and it’s got no post-bubble recovery story.

Grassley will be 95 in 2028. Iowa, it’s time to take away the keys.

Congress really needs an age where the answer becomes, “Thank you for your service.”

Worth noting on how the Tom Kean Jr. time line on offering full transparency keeps expanding.

Two weeks ago he said to @wildstein he’d be back in the next couple weeks.

Yesterday he put out a statement saying he’d be back “within a matter of weeks.”

Intensely dislike Hunter Biden, but his Twitter account is going to be a fantastic source of entertainment.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.
