[Facebook Inc. last week unveiled plans to launch Libra, a payment system it describes as a new β€œglobal currency.” It’s based on blockchain, the same technology that powers bitcoin, and is backed by real assets and pegged to stable government securities. Over two dozen corporate partners are on board, including financial companies MasterCard Inc., Visa Inc.,PayPal Holdings Inc. and Coinbase. Partners contribute a membership fee of $10 million each. Facebook’s goal is to line up a total of 100 corporate partners and $1 billion in assets. – 28jun19 WSJ]

    Have the guts to read it Rockhead?
    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/byron-york-anti-trump-fever-takes-threatening-turn
    “The toxicity of the resistance to President Trump has risen in recent days, with the nation’s most respected newspapers publishing rationalizations for denying Trump supporters public accommodation and for doxxing career federal employees, while a journalist found himself under physical attack from the so-called anti-fascist group Antifa, which has stepped up its violent activities since Trump’s election.
    The justification for denying public accommodation came from the Washington Post in an op-ed by Stephanie Wilkinson, the owner of a farm-to-table restaurant in Lexington, Virginia. ”

    Dr.Rebane @ 3:23 pm
    I will take that soft ball question and knock it out of the park. :). Well, I suppose the young folks who cleansed China for Chairman Mao comes to mind. Or the Khmer Rough who enlisted young people who first began by chasing their β€œopposition” out of restaurants and then went on to school teachers, people who wore glasses (readers of books) then their parents and family members….anyone suspected of wrong thinking, real or imagined. Call it a ethnic cleansing of contrary thought or opinion.
    We are a nation of laws, not men. Once one crosses the line, they become the oppressors, not the oppressed. They become the aggressors, not the aggrieved. And, as proven through the ages, it becomes easier to commit acts of violence, hatred, unprovoked assaults, and genocide once you label opponent as sub human. Dehumanizing comes first, then the rest is easy and β€œmoral.” Morally required. And once lines begin to get crossed, it becomes rule of mob. They absolve their own actions and blame the victim. They made me do it! I got sooo angry at that Hispanic woman wearing a MAGA hat. Racists not allowed! We do not condone racisms and Nazis in this neighborhood! Spare me. Nobody has less rights than me. Nobody.
    The Asian reporter in Portland who was hospitalized by Antifa was not only beaten, but he was robbed. Robbed. There goes any moral high ground out the window.
    Today we have an ongoing Inquisition. A true witch hunt.

    Oh Walt, they get like this when they have taken a big hit. Each and everytime. The debates really leveled them, deflated their egos and hopes. The world saw how stark raving out of touch and insane they are.
    Their quiver is empty and only blanks in the chamber. But, there is always the old reliable standby. When all else fails, call them racists! Subhuman racists! It is the only thing they know. β€œDon’t look at us, look at those other guys. They are racists! We are the superior ones. Am too!”
    That last lame lob about Duke was made of mud and straw and fell apart in mid air. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again. Go ahead and huff and puff and blow my house down, roflmao. Opps, I should not laugh at the….ignorant. It’s not their fault. Never is.

    Was it Jig Wiggley that threw out Bing Crosby and blackface the other night? Like, is that a subtle jab that we are racists or something? Hard to follow his upchucks at times, Oh well, variety is the spice of life. The first thing I thought when I saw β€˜blackface’ was of good ole Virginia Governor Ralph, the Dixiecrat. Seems like a nice guy. Heck, Bubba gave the eulogy for Robert β€˜White Sheets’ Byrd. All is forgiven, no biggie. That was then.
    But, the rest of the story is the pic of young Ralph sitting next to the guy in the Klan outfit and wearing blackface is authentic and all, but the guy in blackface is not him. Collaborated. That means if Ralph was there and he ain’t the guy in blackface, that mean Gov. Ralph is the guy under the hood, roflmao.
    Duh, I just got it. Bing Cosby…WHITE CHRISTMAS. How original. That was so funny I forgot to laugh. β€œKindergarten baby, born in the gravy,”. Man, that boy needs to up his game.

    And since you and yours continually monitor every word that is recorded on these pages while claiming their bigotry, dearth of ideas, and lack of readership. I keep asking, why are all of you still here? We all know the answer, but it would be most useful for your self-respect if you were to give voice to it.

    re RockH 525pm – the ability to use logic in a critical thinking process is totally absent in this sackhead. He has no idea of what a horrible disconnect he attempted re party of Lincoln and the KKK. He’s even too ignorant to know that it was the KKK that was the offshoot of the Democrat Party in the post-Reconstruction South, and derived its support as they marched down Pennsylvania Avenue. For him, if any extreme group endorses any part of the Republican platform, in his mind (and of those like him), this means that the Republican Party automatically supports the extreme group’s ideology – no reciprocity is required, a unilateral endorsement from the extremists is all that is needed. How one differentiates this from terminally butt-stupid is beyond my ken. And they are ALL like that.

He’s a clod, a creepy leech, terminally dumb, and he says cringy things (including about race), but the idea that he harbors any vicious hatred for people based on their race is really, really far-fetched. Sure, there’s a statistically insignificant chance that Sleepy Floppy Gropey Joe is really Seggy Joe, wistfully recalling the days of segregation and Jim Crow – after all, those are Democrat inventions – but it’s … unlikely. But that doesn’t matter. The Social Justice Whiners who totally dominate the Democrat Party have made sure that neither he nor any of the other liberals fighting for the chance to be crushed by Donald Trump in 2020 will be measured by any sane standard.”
