Jon Voight (86).

Don’t forget Voight was a legit military arms / militia bad guy in 24.

I though John Voight was dead.

Wowzers. Although a) it just means new users won't be able to download it and b) Trump will overturn it the next day

"Have you seen my TikTok?"
"It's called a watch. How old are you?"

Whilst America was distracted by TikTok...

89% of Donald Trump's net worth is now in the $TRUMP meme coin
Now one of the Top 25 richest people in the world in theory

So he's launched a crypto, out of thin air, and its suddenly worth 56b? bahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. What a load of crap, none of that exists in any reality and is pure fantasy. These people are worse than the Russians for creating realities up as they go, just with money, or lack of it.

And I'm not surprising anyone here and it's not new info but worth pointing out that he used to tweet this exact same point of view - that these coins have no value and are created basically just to pump and dump and they are essentially a scam. So he does this very knowingly, very cynically, and it's just to make a quick buck. Not that there could be any other reason for it.

Former president Jimmy Carter originally studied nuclear power plant operation with an aim to serving aboard the USS Seawolf.
However, his father passed away and he got released so that he could take over his father's peanut farm.

After settling debts and splitting the estate between the heirs, Carter was left with very little.
However, he used loans, learned farming techniques, his wife did the books and he broke even the first year, then built up the business.

Fast-forward to him winning the '76 election, a few weeks before his inauguration, Carter moved his peanut business into the hands of trustees to avoid a potential conflict of interest. He also asked incoming members of his administration to divest themselves of assets through blind trusts (the trust beneficiaries have no knowledge of the holdings of the trust, and no right to intervene in their handling.)

Assuming this man doesn't destroy the electoral process and try to declare himself Emperor of the United States, how long before the infighting and noise of the next election starts to drown him out? It's usually midway through the second term, right? Couple of years?
