CNN Host 'Beheads' Trump - Kathy Griffin





Quote
Kathy Griffin beheads Trump. The CNN host posted a video depicting her holding President Trump's head, in a shocking stunt. So far, CNN hasn't said if they will fire her or not, only that they are "evaluating" what to do and "at this point haven't made any decisions."

Cool


EDIT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NPPE6a7mSI

She is always doing stupid shit for attention. Seems like she might have topped herself this time. It's crass, not fair to Barron (lil guy has enough bullshit in his life) and a tad too much in this current social environment, where the craziness is right next to the surface. This was a bad look.

And the Secret Service wants to get involved, I feel she is regretting this deeply LOL. Think before you do people.

Wow, that is actually pretty clever. I imagine most people wouldn't even notice the address changing when pasting. A serious malware right there.
Some of you say to use Linux because it's safer, for me myself the main reason I don't use Linux is because of games. Also Skype which I use daily (Skype for Linux is seriously outdated).
You cannot escape from these viruses even if you are using Linux based operating system and the only solution is to have an updated antivirus software ,it is not a new virus and it was frustrating people for a long time and now hackers have found a way to change the wallet address provided and they are targeting least secured machines.

Hardware wallets do a lot to mitigate this, my KeepKey shows the address multiple times during the transaction process. I've just gotten used to checking the address on the source page and the address on the KeepKey. It's one of the drawbacks of bitcoin; the level of security required to maintain a wallet with any decent amount of funds is beyond the average consumer.
1143  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Any way to have cheap transactions now? on: May 31, 2017, 08:22:56 PM
Poloniex and others exchanges are able to get a good tax because they send the payments at once, i dont believe you can do this with others services besides exchanges, blockchain allow to send multipayments but they does process each transaction alone.

There are several wallets who let you combine your payments too, blockchain.info is one of them. So if you have several payments to do, you can create 1 single transaction with all payments included.

If you are moving money between exchanges, you would probably do well to convert to a cheaper, faster confirming coin and convert back after it arrives. Always use the above posted method; it's good hygiene and keeps the network the least congested. It's hard to predict future transactions enough to organize them, so this has limited effectiveness.

When you write it you know at least one case when the doctor made his patient addict. Addicts usually use drugs which are produced in clandestine laboratories. Pharmacists have invented for yourself replacement therapy, but this is irrelevant to medicine.

Are you being sarcastic? I'm deadly serious.

https://qz.com/866771/drug-wholesalers-shipped-9-million-opioid-painkillers-over-two-years-to-a-single-west-virginia-pharmacy/

As the number of deaths attributed to overdoses on legal opioid painkillers have quadrupled since 1999 in the US, pharmaceutical distributors have been quietly stocking pharmacy shelves with these pills in areas where addiction is the highest.
Reporters at the Charleston Gazette-Mail in West Virginia analyzed shipment data from the US Food and Drug Administration and found three major drug manufacturing companies—McKesson, Cardinal Health, and AmerisourceBergen—made $17 billion by sending 423 million opioid painkillers to West Virginia between 2007 and 2012. Six of the 55 counties in West Virginia have the highest death tolls resulting from opioid addiction in the country. Over six years, almost 2,000 patients died from overdoses on hydrocodone and oxycontin pills in those counties.

I'm sure they didn't notice they were sending enough pills that every citizen in the county could have had a prescription. And I'm sure the doctors that prescribed those pills were making legitimate prescriptions; it must really hurt to live in WV.

Here it is from the Fox's mouth, if you like that sort of thing (I don't really fuck with that right there Wink )

http://www.foxnews.com/health/2017/01/15/documentary-on-convicted-doc-highlights-providers-role-in-opioid-epidemic.html


https://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/08/30/opinion/doctors-will-play-a-critical-role-in-the-opioid-epidemic.html


Where do you think the drugs came from? Do you think someone just stumbled onto meth one day after mixing up cough medicine and household cleaning supplies? Drugs may be manufactured clandestinely, but they originated from the pharmaceutical industry. I've said this before on the thread.

Opiods:
It was from opium that morphine, a derivative, was developed as a pain killer in approximately 1810. It was considered a wonder drug because it eliminated severe pain associated with medical operations or traumatic injuries. It left the user in a completely numb euphoric dream-state. Because of the intense euphoric side effects, the drug in 1811 was named after the Greek god of dreams, Morpheus, by Dr. F.W.A. Serturner, a German pharmacist. By the mid 1850’s, morphine was available in the United States and became more and more popular with the medical profession. The benefits of using the drug to treat severe pain was considered nothing short of remarkable to doctors of the time. Unfortunately, the addictive properties of the drug, on the flip side, went virtually unnoticed until after the Civil War.

Cocaine:

Cocaine was first isolated (extracted from coca leaves) in 1859 by German chemist Albert Niemann. It was not until the 1880s that it started to be popularized in the medical community.

MDMA:

MDMA was first made in 1912.[14] It was used to improve psychotherapy beginning in the 1970s and became popular as a street drug in the 1980s.[14][15][17]

MDMA was first synthesized in 1912 by Merck chemist Anton Köllisch. At the time, Merck was interested in developing substances that stopped abnormal bleeding. Merck wanted to avoid an existing patent held by Bayer for one such compound: hydrastinine.

Meth:

Methamphetamine was synthesized by a middle-aged, respectable Japanese chemist named Nagai Nagayoshi in 1893.

A member of the Meiji Japanese elite, Nagayoshi devoted much of his energy to the chemical analysis of traditional Japanese and Chinese medicines using the tools of Western science. In 1885, Nagai isolated the stimulant ephedrine from Ephedra sinica, a plant long used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine.

Drug epidemics always start somewhere. And honestly, if you look hard enough. You will find they almost always orignate at the corporate/state actor level. Drugs don't move across borders as easy as you think, in significant amounts.
1145  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is BTC for you? on: May 31, 2017, 11:47:25 AM

a type of digital currency in which encryption techniques are used to regulate the generation of units of currency and verify the transfer of funds, operating independently of a central bank.
"bitcoin has become a hot commodity among speculators"
a unit of bitcoin.
"bitcoins can be used for online transactions between individuals

You are a smart ass, LOL. But really though, it's money people. We lose sight of that at times, but in the end, bitcoin is simply a different form of currency  it does indeed have a lot of potential, but maybe we should stop romanticizing it aoo much Wink bitcoin might.not change the world, but the underlying technology, the blockchain, will certainly improve it Wink

Another cash crop...

This one is crocus, right? This is the plant from which the spice saffron is derived. Kashmir is well known for the cultivation of crocus. Returns will be very high, as saffron is widely regarded as the most expensive spice in the world.

True, but i have no idea of the $yield/acre... it's only the orange part that has value. 3-4 pieces by flower...

Then coca, tea and cannabis. Yep, tea... if you can make the highest quality, price follow fast.

Yezzir.


Pooooooooooooooooooooooooot. Then tea. Stepping off your list, fruit trees and ornamental shrubs, along with wasabi and ginseng. The past two are difficult and might require a specific biome.

But seriously, pot is 3k a pound wholesale ATM, in saturated markets. Saffron, by comparison, is median 2.5k, and the labor and space would eliminate a great deal of that profit.

Don't forget greenhouses, they might be a cool option and extend your planting choices, as well as your season.
1147  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Easiest And safest Way to Buy/Sell Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies on: May 31, 2017, 11:31:52 AM
cex.io has been around for a long time and i have not heard anything negative about them. they usually are the choice if you want to buy with credit cards and their verification process seems to take a while. and also the fees are high.

and as for bitcointalk, this here is P2P currency exchange so you will end up getting less to sell and paying a lot more to buy bitcoin than the market price. and the same goes for localbitcoins, but they are best choices for keeping your privacy.

there are also Kraken which seems to be good although i have not used it.
and also btc-e which doesn't require any kind of verification.
Hehe, we broke CEX when the support department left, the TrustPilot scores have been shit since they replaced us Wink
Still, it's a good exchange. The fees will kill you, unless you can use SWIFT, and they are still a beast. Verification was a pita, but that may have changed in the years I was gone.

Coinbase, moderate hassle. Will require veridication, but its quick. Lowest fees of the bunch you have presented, and they are 100% in my experience.

LBC, moderate fees, but the least hassle. You don't need to verify for some merchamts, and offers the rare opportunity to buy bitcoin with cash bear market rate. Lots of spammers, but not hard to avoid them if you use a trusted. Escrow is built into the platform.

I was confused there for a moment when you mentioned COvfefe-coffee fee-bitcoin. I thought you wanted to buy a coffee using bitcoin as payment, later did I realize after scrolling down my cursor that it was about the viral tweet of Donald Trump. Would covfefe be a callsign or it has a secret meaning. Many are trying to decipher it but I guess only Donald knows its true meaning.

Oh, the meaning is quite clear. It means someone should take the tweeting devices away from our POTUS.

Trump will stay at white house before the end of his presidential term. He may provide hard or soft policy, but it is not enough for impeachment.

It was extremely difficult for the Republican dominated House and Senate to impeach the rapist Bill Clinton, despite it was well established beyond any doubt that he sexually abused the interns. And now these people are talking about the possibility of impeaching Trump, just over some rumors.

Not rumors, at least as far as the FBI seems to think, but you are correct. If you can't get impeached for getting head in the actual Oval Office, the bar is obviously pretty low. With that being said,  this is foreign interference in government, a far cry from malfeasance and infidelity. But, both deplorable, one simply has a greater magnitude.

Yes, all libruls are also Wiccan and Vegan. I heard the sunlight burns them as well.

Please don't generalize this idea across an entire political ideology. It's not true, for one, and you will find this is a cultural attitude more so than an ideological platform. People just don't dig the gays, in America, this is an attitude that transcends race and socioeconomic status here. The apologists come from the extreme left; we have discussed how the extremes tend to define the stereotype. Progressive parents my ass, most people aren't going to let their young kids hang around people society deems weird. Except California, they go a long way (too far, IMO) to be inclusive, by normalizing outgroups that are too small. Everyone matters.

Is it too late to impeach Obama?

Whatever shjt that Big O pulled that you guys had a legitimate claim on, kind of fell by the wayside when your new President shit the bed, so to speak, on a global scale. At least Obama had foreign policy, however fucked; Trump has no idea what the fuck is going on most days, it seems. But he does have large hands, and he wants to build a wall, which makes me feel warm and safe.

10 US cities have signed a petition to the Senate with the requirement to begin procedure of impeachment Trump. Of course the municipal authority has no authority for such a solution, but it may force legislators to consider it. Do you think the deck of cards Trump still trump?

Oh come on, what's the base for that requirement anyway? That he once said something about women? Bill Clinton got exposed for cheating on his wife on his workplace and didn't get impeached. What's the chance of Trump getting impeached over basically nothing at this point? Give it a few more months, he may screw up for real.

Sit down. Let me rap to you.

Since Nixon have we not had a scandal of this magnitude. And the magnitude of Nixon's deception was not known back in the day. Even if Trump comes out completely innocent of Russia, despite the fact that the FBI is publically, one by one investigating his entire team, the stain of Russian interference, which is not debatable at this point, will always remain. The largest democracy on earth was subverted. You really don't want to be the guy at the reins when shit like this happens.

We have lost the confidence of our allies, and gained the proximity of our enemies. For all the Russian apologist on the board, frienss dont try to subvert elections. If this is a 'nothing', then you are right, he won't get impeached. It will take a nuke.

I wish people would stop comparing Trump to Obama (I also hope that Clinton simply fades away, and stops commenting about the election or other social/political issues). It only stirs up Trump's base and makes them much more determined to hang on to their "hero".
 
As an essay grader in political sciences I can tell that Trump will topple himself if we let him. Look at how the proposed budget adversely affects much of his base. 
 
Once his base loses their enthusiasm for him, he is gone. His base, however, must realize on their own that the emperor has no clothes. You can't force it on them, or they will strongly defend him.

Good for him if he feels that is the best way for him to go. All I need to be  sure of that he is responsible for his actions which I don't blame him because western nations have equally contributed to that when they now allow people to leverage in the fact that injustice is being meted out on some people in another place then the feeling of fighting for them comes in and that alone makes some decision worth taking irrespective of its consequences.

The western nations have done two major mistakes. First, they are needlessly indulging in the internal affairs of various third world countries such as Syria and Libya. Secondly, they are also allowing uneducated and culturally alien third world immigrants to migrate to their own countries.

We agree, partially. Same page on sticking our noses in shit needlessly, as a state actor. Being Big Bro is cool up the point where Lil Bro says 'get the fuck out of my room'. But the refugees aren't pure shit, and I'm pretty sure if it wasn't fucked up back home, that's exactly where they would be, merrily breeding their ass off.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRPzkB5mr1U

Muslims need more people like IMAM TAWHIDI.

This other prick (Jamal Rifi) is just that.  Islamic Jihadists were killing non-believers way before Islamic State existed.

But what Abrahamic faith didn't kill non believers at some point in history, on a large scale? The Crusades invalidate a claim of peace for all the Abrahamics except Judaism, and the current state of Israel Palestine reflects quite poorly on the dominate culture group, which we can all agree are the Israelis. People tend to die when a majority decides it's time to, it's the unfortunate but the way shit works here.

Now that I have said that, is see another definition for politics; codifying opinions that aren't universally popular so that they stand the test of time.

Hey all, If you're familiar with wired transfers through Gemini they send you information once you request one as far as what to put for information in the wired transfer itself. It consists of the following which I sent off this morning.

Beneficiary Name: Beneficiary Account #

Receiving Bank Name: Bank ABA:

Memo: (5 letters they REQUIRE you to put...XXXXX for example)

Now this is where the employee and myself screwed up, and mistakenly put my FULL NAME as the Beneficiary rather than "Gemini LLC" and for the Memo they put "Investment-Ref: XXXXX" instead of just "XXXXX".

Now I'm not to familiar with wired transfers but the funds still aren't loaded up on Gemini with it being the afternoon, and my money has been taken out my account. Will my wire transfer get rejected, take more time to go through, or am I gonna lose my money?


I dealt with this for the Etsy. IPO, courtesy of Wells Fargo (you are a basrard, Wells Fargo). Wires are a sensitive thing. If the recipient is not clearly named, for AML/KYC purposes, the wire will usually be rejected. If the wire is accepted, it will have to be attributed to an account, as it is attached to your social via your bank account. What I'm trying to say is, contact the exchange. They can't deny you your funds if they actually left the account and don't return. They accept them, you will basically get them. If they claim they didn't get them, the wire failed, and you will get a fee of 15-30 bucks, depending on your bank/account. You will have to resend. This cost me 25% on the Etsy IPO, my banker cost me 3 weekdays after attributing the wire to the wrong account. Morgan Stanley handled the offering, I have mean, choice words about them too, but I will keep them to myself.

Talk to your banker tomorrow, see if it provisioned. Since it's instantaneous, it probably did, contact the exchange as well.

I used to work at CEX Smiley

For me I think Physical BTC Wallets will last very long and it depends on the BTC wallet provider hardware on how they maintain those hardware.
But we can assure on those legit BTC wallets that they have strong foundation of software and hardware before they go on BTC business.

This is the paradigm of long term information storage. The solution isn't in a permanent material or permanent device, it's the most inefficient way to address this. To hell with substance permanancy. This is money, keep an eye on it. Beause the information is the key, I think it's better to hide something like this in plain sight. Religions figured this out centuries ago; you want to hide something really important, encode into a public document and give the key to the people you want to understand Wink I just gave a way a secret, if you caught it Wink

Make a framed picture of your key, hidden in a poem.  Make a charm bracelet out of your key. You can even print it out. The winning strategy is to make redundant copies. It's the halfway point between concelaing information for its sensitivity, vs exposing information, even if encoded, for its longevity.

it is wrong that the crimes are increasing with bitcoin. As the criminals are using their currency and any currency they find. Like if they find USD then they will accept USD and if they will find euro then they will accept euro. They accept any currency and they have their goal. We cannot blame bitcoin.

Eh, let me temper this a little. Suffice to say I know a few drug dealers Wink bitcoin is popular only among the most computer literate, and successful dealers. Why? Bitcoin isn't spending money folks. If you make enough illicit funds to have to hide them for the IRS, bitcoin is the most perfect vehicle for money laundering since the casino or the vending machine. But if you make enough to live well, and not save massive amounts of cash for later, cash will be your king. Not worth the conversion fee, and never worth the block chain if the amounts of money are big enough for the IRS to give a fuck. The block chain is permanent, you don't want ATF crawling a public record to make a case for you in court. These things don't occur to low level drug dealers, but for those that truly profit off of vice, operational security is key. With perfect hygiene, bitcoin provides the anonymity a dealer needs to operate and live normally. But that's hard, and the FCC just made it a bit harder.

Trust me on this one Wink there is a reason why people where willing to use Silk Road. And I don't mean customers, I mean merchants.
