Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

My money is on number 4. The Guzmans must have bought a lot of Trumpcoins. The sad part for the (innocent) family members is that in a year or two, when Trump has gotten all he wants from the Cartel, he'll have them deported back to Mexico anyway.
How would they buy it? I dont think there's a platform to buy shitcoins with a mattress full of cash
You can walk into my local gas station and put cash into a digital Bitcoin wallet. Buying Trump coin with Bitcoin I assume you can do on many platforms.
Double checked. You can by Trump coin directly from Crypto.com's platform. When you are ready to make a purchase in person say groceries, you can pull the money from any of their coins directly for use on a Visa Debit card. Physical if you want one, or from Google/Apple/Samsung pay.
If I can figure out a mattress to purchase method in under a minute I imagine the cartels have figured out methods
Lol wut. Bitcoin is more transparent than cash. The entire blockchain is publicly visible by everyone. You can't launder money with bitcoin.
Cartels launder money with greenbacks. I still dont see how they can buy this shitcoin with dirty cash.
Okay so show me who bought Trump coin in the last 24 hours. Names included. Or.... Is it not as easy as you say?
There's whole companies that do this, yes. Their business is coin analytics. For a small fee, this info is easy to obtain. They are contracted by the government.
Is this really news to you?
It's not news to me, it's overstated bologna thats it's common place. You not being able to show it shows so. Not trying to be confrontational just trying to say.... It isn't info that is easily accessible like people bluntly say
Just pull up the blockchain explorer. Its all public.
KYC data links it, as mandated by AML laws. I dont see what's confusing about this to you.
