You beat me to it! :slight_smile: When I was young, pleading the 5th is what mob related characters in TV shows and movies did. 2 things are apparent: 1. key Trump supporters have no shame; 2. They are all just trying to run out the clock.

Full story:

Melania Trump is set to lose out on tens of thousands of dollars after a crash in the cryptocurrency market unfortunately coincided with her attempting to auction off one of her stylish hats. The New York Times reports that the former first lady was trying to hawk a white hat she wore to greet French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House in 2018, alongside a watercolor of her wearing it and an NFT that shows an animated recreation of her sporting the lovely wide-brimmed hat. Bids were only accepted in a cryptocurrency called SOL, and Trump initially set the minimum bids at the equivalent of around $250,000, but SOL has seen its trading price get slashed since the auction was created. The Times reports that only five bids had been made as of Tuesday evening, with the top offers standing at a cash equivalent of $170,000

OT. Financial analysts attempting to determine why crypto currencies are dropping even though @dont didn’t buy in at peak, or ever.

AHAHAHAHAHAHHaaaaahahaaaaaahahahahahaaaaaaaa!!!

Well, betcha it’ll turn out that the $80,000 she didn’t get was the money that was destined to go to “Be Best”, so sucks to the kids who were (allegedly) supposed to be “helped” by that.

Have to wonder if he is clamming up to protect someone other than himself, which is another thing that happens in cases related to OC.

He certainly wouldn’t have anything to do with anyone who uses weirdly-hued hair or skin treatments.

Also, why this why now, IOW, WTF is he on?

It’ll all come out I’m sure. I look at all this like a TV series and we’re in the middle of the first of 7 seasons.

Make popcorn, binge watch.

Really, SOL? That wasn’t a red flag. They’re even dumber than I thought.

Yeah, my questions too. I caught a glimpse of him yesterday posting a video of himself high as a kite and ranting. Where are his minders?
