You thought today was good. Wait until tomorrow gets rolling.

Today Cohen provided the American public with a first-hand account of serious misconduct by Trump & those around him. Tomorrow we‘ll examine in depth many of those topics including Trump Tower Moscow, Roger Stone/Wikileaks and any WH role in Cohen’s false statements to Congress.

wait, what am I talking about?... Of course there will be a cable news blab-fest tomorrow about the HPSCI testimony. Ignorance never prevents cable news talking heads from babbling to fill airtime!

What I meant was: no USEFUL, INFORMED discussion of tomorrow's testimony will take place tomorrow in the public square.

To run through alogorithms to obtain bitcoins. Some small time players with a couple computers, but there are also big players with massive arrays of computers searching for bitcoin. This is so popular that there are some processor boards whose customer base is more than half comprised of bitcoin miners. The amount of energy used to power those computers is more than the total output of solar energy production worldwide.

Nothing real is produced, only “bitcoin”.

thanks for the explanation. What a crock. This only increases my conviction that cryptocurrencies are all a big scam, a game of musical chairs.

What people should ask themselves is why we have a president who talks like a mafia boss.
