This Wednesday, Hunter Biden launched the $LAPTOP crypto coin, only for it to crash 98% by Thursday while 'mystery traders' of the coin have made windfall profits. ^[https://wset.com/news/nation-world/hunter-bidens-meme-coin-down-98-since-being-launched-report-crypto-laptop-social-media] ^[https://futurism.com/future-society/hunter-biden-laptop-memecoin-crypto-rugpull-national-disgrace]

This exactly mirrors Trump's and Melania's earlier crypto rugpulls. This universal scammy behavior is the most visual example of the equivalence between liberals and conservatives. Both will scam the working class to enrich capitalists.

I don't want to victim-blame, but who in 2026 is still expecting to get anything out of crypto as investors?

I don't disagree that buying crypto today is dumb. I just thought that the liberals would have enough sense to call Trump out on rugpulling without getting involved themselves. Trump handed them such a free win, only for Hunter Biden (and also former New York Mayor Eric Adams, who also did a rug pull) to go, "I wanna scam too."

I really hate seeing self-ID'd leftists circulating all his clapbacks and cutesy meme tweets and whatever as if they're not trying to polish him off for a future run in politics (not on here tho to be clear).
He's scum and I can absolutely see him becoming a president as messy and dysfunctional and nakedly corrupt and evil as Trump except he genuflects to the right identity politics and does better PR so he's seen as "fun".
