‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Cryptocurrency Crashes – Has ZERO Value As MAGA Faithful Watch Their Money Vanish

Some of the MAGA faithful thought they’d found the perfect way to make money while also indulging their bizarre need to insult President Joe Biden with their childish “Let’s go Brandon” chant, which is actually just a publicly acceptable substitute for “F*ck Joe Biden.”

Of course, thanks to the First Amendment that right-wingers love to attack by banning books from schools and libraries, they already had the right to say almost anything they want about any public figure, including telling the president to go f*ck himself.

So it must have sounded like a Trumppublican dream come true when someone created a cryptocurrency and tagged it “LGB” to represent their favorite childish attack on the man who beat the brakes off their beloved Donnie Dotard, a.k.a. the twice-impeached one-term former president.

Their crypto coin dreams, however, have gone up in smoke, like nearly everything that carries the name of their tangerine god, according to Zachary Petrizzo of The Daily Beast:

The MAGA-themed “Let’s Go Brandon” Ethereum cryptocurrency has fallen on tough times.

So much so that the value of all 330 trillion coins totals just a few thousand dollars combined, according to the trading sites CoinMarketCap and Crypto, a far cry from the days of pro-Trump investors believing they could strike it rich in the ever-complex world of crypto.

That represents a 99.5 percent decline over the last 30 days, leaving a singular LGB coin effectively worthless.

99.5% decline in a mere 30 days. Hell, even Trump University lasted longer than that.

What happened? Simple: The creators of the LGB coin tried to tap into a thin vein of hatred that was certain to grow cold in short order:

“They tried to monetize on a viral outbreak. Did it surprise me when something without value shot up and immediately shot down upon release? No,” said David Silver, an attorney who has represented aggrieved crypto investors since 2014.

When the coin was first released in January of this year, it had what’s known as a “liquidity pool” value of $6.5 million, which isn’t too shabby for a new cryptocurrency that came out of nowhere.

Many investors are (as you’d expect) crestfallen, with one noting their 73 million coins now had a total value of $1.66, which isn’t enough to purchase so much as a swizzle stick at Starbucks.

But despite the collapse of LGB coin, the geniuses behind the failed idea tried to buck up their investors, sending out a tweet that read:

“Sometimes you just need to have faith and [hold on for dear life].”

Sounds like it’s time to rename “Lets go Brandon” coin to “Let’s go broke.”

Woman At Saturday Trump Rally In Texas Says Donald Will Resurrect Princess Diana And Michael Jackson

Failed, twice-impeached, one-term former President Donald Trump held one of his pathetic rallies in Conroe, Texas on Saturday evening, and before he ever took the stage, his MAGA moron faithful were proving they’re even dumber than the imbecile they so fervently adore.

One woman said that the Joe Biden we now see is actually a “fake” because “the real Biden was assassinated at Gitmo in March 2019.”

Oh, and she also thinks that Trump has resurrected dead celebrities and suggested that Michael Jackson, John F. Kennedy Jr., and Princess Diana would all be at Trump’s upcoming inauguration because he was essential in helping them “escape.”

There was also a man wearing a cowboy hat who held up a sign showing President Joe Biden wearing a dog collar and leash that was held by Chinese President Xi Jinping.

And it wouldn’t be a Trump rally without the mathematically and historically challenged idiots who love to wear clothing that only makes sense if you have the IQ of an eggplant:

And the signs. You gotta have the signs:

Americans Applaud Eric Swalwell For Expertly Trolling The MAGA Faithful On Twitter

Few people have been more of a thorn in the side of failed, one-term, twice-impeached former President Donald Trump than California Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell.

Swalwell, you may recall, has even sued Trump and his allies over the January 6 Capitol insurrection, as CNN reported in March of last year:

The new lawsuit … by Swalwell, a California Democrat who helped to lead impeachment arguments against Trump for inciting insurrection, follows a similar suit filed last month by Rep. Bennie Thompson against Trump, Giuliani and the extremist groups the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys. Swalwell’s case makes some of the same claims as Thompson’s — citing a civil rights law meant to counter the Ku Klux Klan’s intimidation of elected officials.

But it also alleges Trump, Trump Jr., Giuliani and Brooks broke Washington, DC, laws, including an anti-terrorism act, by inciting the riot, and that they aided and abetted violent rioters and inflicted emotional distress on the members of Congress.

And now Swalwell is trolling the Donald’s fanatical (and sometimes dangerous) followers, who showed up in Florence, Arizona Saturday night for what Rolling Stone called Trump playing “the hits,” even though those so-called “hits” still suck:

The rally, much like the one that preceded it, was a rehash of the Big Lie, the same dangerous rhetoric that encouraged Trump’s supporters to launch a violent attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, posing a real threat to our democracy. But the attempted coup failed, dooming Trump to holding rallies and feeding his supporters a steady stream of bullshit to keep them fired up for the midterms and his potential 2024 run. After all, supporters will continue to show up and treat him as the god emperor they believe him to be.

Right-wing Newsmax, on the other hand, had this take on the Arizona rally:

Almost a like a cult following? Try exactly like a cult following, and let’s be sure and recall how cults usually end. If you need a hint, just Google “Jonestown massacre” or “Heaven’s Gate.”

That was all it took for Swalwell to lay one hell of an internet burn on the MAGA morons who showed up in Arizona and seem to show up everywhere the Orange Menace happens to set up a stage where he can vomit out his lies:

That set off waves of applause and agreement on social media:

Anti-Vaxxers Coronavirus Donald Trump

Alyssa Milano Laid Some Major Truth On The MAGA Faithful – And They Lost Their Angry Minds

The daily totals in the War on COVID-19 are staggering, with 214,000 cases being reported in the United States every day, an increase of 83% over the past two weeks alone. Hospitalizations are up 8% and deaths have increased 3% over that same two-week period.

That’s the bad news.

The good news is that the fully vaccinated who contract COVID are experiencing only mild flu-like symptoms which quickly abate, especially if the person has contracted the Omicron variant, which is more transmissible than Delta but far less lethal.

Clearly, as every study across the world has shown, the key to battling COVID is to get vaccinated and boosted, a three-shot regimen that is virtually painless and has almost no side effects.

And yet, a closer look at the data shows that those who voted for Donald Trump are less likely to get vaccinated and more likely to die from the virus, according to NPR:

NPR looked at deaths per 100,000 people in roughly 3,000 counties across the U.S. from May 2021, the point at which vaccinations widely became available. People living in counties that went 60% or higher for Trump in November 2020 had 2.73 times the death rates of those that went for Biden. Counties with an even higher share of the vote for Trump saw higher COVID-19 mortality rates.

In October, the reddest tenth of the country saw death rates that were six times higher than the bluest tenth, according to Charles Gaba, an independent health care analyst who’s been tracking partisanship trends during the pandemic and helped to review NPR’s methodology. Those numbers have dropped slightly in recent weeks, Gaba says: “It’s back down to around 5.5 times higher.”

All of this led actress and progressive activist Alyssa Milano to post a tweet which spelled out the need for everyone to get vaccinated:

Fully vaccinated means no hospitalization, no ventilator, and no long-term health impact from COVID. It’s really that simple.

But to the MAGA faithful, Milano might just as well have been telling them they should stop breathing altogether as a precaution. So they vented their enraged, stunted minds on Twitter as if doing so would place a magic veil of immunity around them and their loved ones:

Trumpers Pitch A Hissy Fit Over ‘President Biden Expressway’ In Pennsylvania

Bless their coal black hearts, the MAGA faithful who so fervently worship failed, one-term former President Donald Trump love to call anyone who disagrees with them “snowflakes,” but it turns out they’re the biggest babies of them all, easily triggered by the simplest of things.

Take, for example, a highway in Scranton, Pennsylvania, has been renamed the “President Biden Expressway” in honor of the 46th President of the United States, who has lived in the state for decades.

Sure enough, all you have to do is look on Twitter and it soon becomes clear that right-wingers are all up in their feels about a highway being named to honor the current president:

 

Those responses led to some expert trolling by those who were eager to laugh at anyone who can be triggered by a highway sign:

It’s OK, Trumpers. Maybe one day they’ll rename the U.S. Penitentiary at Leavenworth after your tangerine savior.
