星期日, 六月 2, 2024

But there is something to be said for a justice system that is prepared to put a former president on trial.

Key Points: 
  • But there is something to be said for a justice system that is prepared to put a former president on trial.
  • Former president Trump was found guilty of all thirty-four charges relating to falsifying business records to conceal a hush-money payment made to former porn star Stormy Daniels.
  • He is the first former president to be found guilty of criminal charges.

Voters’ response

  • This is a slight fall on the 89% of Republican voters that said they would vote for Trump in a YouGov poll at the start of the trial.
  • Only time will tell whether the guilty verdict will have a further impact on Trump’s support.
  • What is perplexing is not that Trump has been found guilty of the charges but that he continues to attract support in the polls.
  • European leaders are likely to be more focused on any action Trump takes concerning the war in Ukraine and the US continued commitment to Nato.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 22, 2024 PRNewswire/ -- On January 10, 2024, the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) gave official approval to 11 Financial Institutions to create a "spot bitcoin ETF" (Exchange-Traded Fund). This long-awaited and controversial government approval basically allows these 11 Financial Institutions to now offer to the public the opportunity to buy "bitcoin" easily and safely as if it were simply a stock in a mutual fund on the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, or Chicago Board of Trade, instead of investors still having to figure out how to buy it on a "Crypto Exchange" (e.g. Coinbase) as a "mysterious" and "dangerous" cryptocurrency. 

Key Points: 
  • I am proud to announce that my campaign is one of the first to ever accept donations in bitcoin.
  • This approval is recognized worldwide as the biggest event in the history of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.
  • So, how does this financial world news impact the highly contested U.S. Congressional Race CA 32 in Los Angeles, California?
  • Pierce is the Chairman of The Bitcoin Foundation, the longest established Bitcoin advocacy organization in the world.
