[QUOTE="Bradskii, post: 77617134, member: 412388"] Let's be perfectly clear here. This is not normal. One might expect some grifter to be pumping the sale of a buy-two-get-one-free type of deal on a piece of exercise equipment or kitchen utility on some obscure channel on cable tv at 3:00am. That is normal. It's pitched at the type of person with an IQ not much higher than room temperature who actually watches tv at 3:00am. (I just checked my tv. At 3:00am tomorrow there is a 30 minute infomercial for an electronic flossing device, squeezed in between an episode of Rawhide and Judge Judy). But could anyone imagine, even in a fever racked dream that a president, an ex president or a potential president would be spruiking NFTs of himself dressed as a cowboy or an astronaut? Or selling golden sneakers? And now - this is really not credible, specially endorsed bibles? If someone like Vonnegut had put a character like this into a novel then he'd never get it published. His agent would tell him that he'd pushed the limit of what people would accept, even in a satire, too far. But for a lot of people, this is quite normal. And that is the absolutely horrifying thing about what we are seeing. That this is seen as being acceptable behaviour for someone who will be shortly asking the citizens of the US permission to get his hands on the nuclear codes. It's beyond a joke. It's now beyond satire. And when it gets to that point it is dangerous. [/QUOTE]
