You should have a spell checker pointing out spelling errors already on your device. Usually, it comes in the form of a double underline directly under the misspelled word. You're welcome.
I have that. And I always double check my spelling but it seems both systems have failed. Could you kindly point out my mistake(s)? Thanks! 🤗

I hope Trump is lucid enough to pardon George Santos.

He can't. Rudy, Santos were both found guilty under state charges, not federal charges.

Besides poor Rudy no longer has enough bribe money to get Trump to pardon him

Telling someone they are 'full of shit' definitely tracks as swearing where I come from. In school if I had told one of my educators that they were 'full of shit' I would be sent to the principal's office. For what? Swearing. And general disrespect. I suggest if you can't express your feelings without profanity and abusive language maybe you should take a long hard look at what's bothering you to the point that you are disrespectful to those you interact with. Likely without even being consciously aware of your actions. Do better.
The thing is, you are not a teacher or a cop or anyone special, just a dude on an escort review board, but let's take this to a possible real-world scenario. We are buds or co-workers sitting at a bar checking out the babes and you start telling me how she looked at you and wants you, I tell you "dude, you're full of shit" is that swearing at you? Would you ask me to step outside because I just told you, "you are full of shit"?

." Unless of coarse that's standard protocol for you." Should be spelt course. You're welcome.
In that case I should correct you. You said I made a spelling error when in fact it was a grammatical error which is quite different but I do appreciate you pointing it out regardless. 🤗

In fact I am someone special, I'm sorry if you don't view yourself from the same perspective. And yes, that would definitely qualify as swearing at me because you used profanity. If you told me 'that was a ridiculous assertion' I would be much more welcoming of your comment. And no, I wouldn't ask you to step outside to engage in fisticuffs because escalating a verbal conflict into a physical confrontation is pointless and unnecessary. Plus, you would of course hand me my ass and then make me buy you a beer, right?

LAS VEGAS — Vice President JD Vance used his position on stage at the biggest bitcoin conference of the year to push the Trump administration’s efforts on stablecoin legislation, touting its potential benefits to the U.S. economy.
“In this administration, we do not think that stablecoins threaten the integrity of the U.S. dollar. Quite the opposite,” Vance said, in his keynote at Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas on Wednesday. “We view them as a force multiplier of our economic might.”

Months after a successful campaign for the White House that was heavily funded by the crypto industry and less than a year after then-candidate Donald Trump spoke at Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville, Tennessee, Vance reiterated the message that the Trump-Vance administration is pursuing a decidedly pro-crypto agenda.
Stablecoins, which are designed to have a stable value against a non-crypto asset, usually the U.S. dollar, are a big topic at the moment as Republicans attempt to pass the GENIUS Act, a bill that would regulate the digital asset. The legislation was cleared a key procedural vote in the Senate last week, due to support from 15 Democrats, but still could face an uphill battle in the House, which has its own proposed bill for stablecoin regulation.
David Sacks, President Trump’s top crypto and AI advisor, told CNBC last week that the market is flush with over $200 billion in stablecoins that are unregulated, and that a legal framework “could create trillions of dollars of demand for our Treasuries practically overnight.”
Democrats previously rejected the GENIUS Act in part on concern that President Trump’s personal cryptocurrency ventures, including his own meme coin and a stablecoin from his family’s crypto business, created an unprecedented conflict of interest.
Vance didn’t address that issue on Wednesday from the stage at the Venetian, but he did joke that he wasn’t just complimenting the crowd to “juice my own meme coins.” Rather, he focused on the value in legitimizing stablecoins.

“Dollar-pegged stablecoins, particularly once GENIUS is enacted, is only going to help the American economy,” Vance said. “And it’s only going to help the American dollar.”
The event in Las Vegas is expected to attract 35,000 attendees. In addition to using the occasion to promote stablecoin legislation, Vance applauded the administration’s creation of a strategic bitcoin reserve and its efforts to roll back regulations.
Vance disclosed that he owns “a fair amount of bitcoin today,” and he took a shot at former SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, who has become a regular punching bag for many lawmakers and crypto executives.
“We fired Gary Gensler — and we’re going to fire everyone like him,” Vance said.
Prior to Vance’s keynote, the Department of Labor rescinded 2022 guidance that had discouraged cryptocurrency investments in retirement plans. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer said that fiduciaries, not bureaucrats, should decide whether crypto belongs in 401(k) plans.
“The Biden administration put its thumb on the scale,” said Chavez-DeRemer said in a press release.
The rollback is part of a broader effort to bolster digital assets. Banks can now custody crypto, after the repeal of a key accounting rule known as SAB 121. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency also rescinded their anti-crypto guidance, and the Federal Reserve has partially followed suit.

Vice President JD Vance and the sons of President Donald Trump, Eric and Donald Trump Jr., spoke at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday, hyping the cryptocurrency and promising to do everything in their power to ensure a friendly regulatory environment. And it’s just the latest reminder that the Trump regime is all-in on crypto.








The video player is currently playing an ad.

Vance was eager to thank the Winklevoss brothers, Tyler and Cameron, who are longtime crypto investors and donated millions to the crypto super PAC Fairshake in the 2024 election cycle. Vance said that many people in Silicon Valley were nervous to support President Trump in his bid to retake the White House and credited the Winklevoss twins as some of the first to really get on board.


“Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, I think they were some of the first big names in Silicon Valley to take that step and a whole host of people followed them. So Cameron and Tyler, thank you for that,” Vance said.




Vance also thanked Coinbase, one of the organizers of the Bitcoin 2025 Conference, and a company that the SEC dropped its investigation into about a month after Trump again took power. The Trump regime has drawn criticism for dropping investigations into powerful people and companies that are seen as friendly to the president, and nobody seems to understand that better than the crypto community, which complained during Joe Biden’s tenure that they were being unfairly targeted for being crooks.


Vance told the audience he holds “a fair amount of bitcoin,” without disclosing an exact number. The vice president previously reported that he held somewhere between $250,000 and $500,000 worth of bitcoin, according to financial disclosure paperwork he filed in the summer of 2024, shortly before the election. It’s not clear if the VP has purchased more or sold any since that disclosure almost a year ago.


Vance said he was “eliminating the rules, the red tape, and the lawfare that we saw aimed at crypto by our predecessors,” referring to the Biden administration. And the VP specifically called out former SEC chairman Gary Gensler, long hated among crypto enthusiasts.




“Maybe the most important thing that we did for this community, we reject regulators and we fired Gary Gensler and we’re going to fire everybody like him,” Vance told the crowd.


While Vance did his part to assure conference attendees that he was doing everything he could to make sure people like Gensler were no longer able to influence policy, the president’s sons leaned into the hype with a much more blunt approach.


“Every single day, people are allocating billions and billions of dollars to it. You know, 0.1 Bitcoin is going to be worth an absolute fortune,” Eric Trump said. The price of 0.1 bitcoin is about $10,700 today.




Asked by a moderator what they thought bitcoin’s price would be by 2026, Eric said “the moon,” while his brother Donald Jr. said it would land somewhere between 150,000 and 175,000 dollars. The current price is hovering around $107,900, near an all-time-high.




Eric Trump made a passing reference to his father’s company Trump Media, the owner of Truth Social, which had just announced plans for a $2.5 billion investment in a bitcoin treasury this week. And he insisted “everyone wants it, nobody wants to get rid of it,” doing his best to pump up the price.

The bitcoin conference will have other speakers for its final day on Thursday, including Paolo Ardoino, the head of stablecoin company Tether. Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the infamous darknet market Silk Road who was sentenced to life in prison and served 11 years before being pardoned by Donald Trump, is also slated to speak Thursday.

in response to JD Vance’s appearance at a Bitcoin conference today, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:


“Just last week, Donald Trump threw a lavish dinner for foreign nationals and billionaires funnelling money into his crypto scheme to buy favors from the White House. As Trump continues to skyrocket prices and his GOP works to rip away Americans’ health care and food assistance, JD Vance is doubling down on the crypto grift. Trump and Vance are selling out working families to make a quick buck — and the American people are paying the price.”


TODAY: JD Vance is doubling down on the administration’s crypto grifts, headlining a conference for the billionaire investors Donald Trump is courting to line his own pockets.


Washington Post: “Vice President JD Vance will headline a political fundraiser in Las Vegas on Tuesday requiring a $1 million donation per attendee, according to an invitation for the event obtained by The Washington Post. …


“The exclusive fundraiser is taking place the night before Vance is scheduled to speak at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference in Las Vegas, a massive gathering of cryptocurrency investors. Attendees at the conference will not only hear from the vice president, but also from Trump’s sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, as well as from White House crypto czar David Sacks, among other speakers.”


CBS News: “Vice President JD Vance is speaking Wednesday at a Bitcoin conference, marking the Trump administration’s latest overture to the cryptocurrency industry — a once-fringe business that President Trump and his allies have embraced in recent months.”


Last week, Trump threw a lavish dinner — funded by taxpayers — for ultra-wealthy crypto investors who funneled $148 million into his grifts to buy favors from the White House.


New York Times: “President Trump gathered Thursday evening at his Virginia golf club with the highest-paying customers of his personal cryptocurrency, promising that he would promote the crypto industry from the White House as protesters outside condemned the event as a historic corruption of the presidency. …


“Several of the dinner guests, in interviews with The New York Times, said that they attended the event with the explicit intent of influencing Mr. Trump and U.S. financial regulations. …


“Mr. Trump and his business partners organized the dinner to promote sales of his $TRUMP cryptocurrency
, a memecoin launched just days before Mr. Trump’s inauguration. … Mr. Trump’s coins have become a vehicle for investors, including many foreigners, to funnel money to his family.”


Washington Post: “[T]wo [Trump family-affiliated] entities own 80 percent of the coins, and the drop in value has affected their stake as well. But they have benefited from the coin in other ways, including by imposing 1 percent fees on purchases made through their official crypto transaction system, known as a liquidity pool.”


Reuters: “Exclusive: Trump’s meme coin made nearly $100 million in trading fees, as small traders lost money”


NBC News: “Meet the man — once sued by the SEC — who won the crypto contest to have dinner with the president”


Wall Street Journal: “‘An Ethics Nightmare’: Trump’s Memecoin Dinner to Draw Crypto High Rollers”


“Government-watchdog groups have condemned the dinner
, saying it potentially violates federal rules that bar officials from soliciting gifts. If any attendees are linked to foreign states, the dinner could also violate the Constitution’s emoluments clause, which bars federal officials from accepting gifts from foreign governments, they say.”


REMINDER: Trump is enriching himself and his billionaire backers with crypto schemes — all while everyday Americans lose money.


Wall Street Journal: “Four months into Trump’s second term, he and his family have promoted their private business interests in unprecedented ways. Beyond the memecoin, their forays into crypto include a bitcoin-mining company and World Liberty Financial, a venture promoted by Trump’s sons. Such efforts pose conflicts of interest, critics say, given that the president has reined in crypto regulation.”


Associated Press: “Trump hosts top crypto investors as some industry leaders fear he’s putting personal profits first”


Bloomberg: “[N]o modern American president has positioned his family to make so much money while in the White House. Already, since the early days of [Donald Trump’s] reelection campaign, he’s more than doubled his net worth to about $5.4 billion.


“In that time, the Trump name has powered
more than $500 million in sales from just one of his crypto ventures.”


Washington Post: “At least 67,000 new or small-time crypto investors like Davis have bet on Trump’s meme coin, pouring $15 million into the volatile venture endorsed by Trump and benefiting his personal wealth, a Washington Post analysis found. …

“The firm [Chainalysis] told The Post that 58 investors have so far made more than $10 million each in profits from the coin, for a total of roughly $1.1 billion — but that 764,000 other investors, most of whom had small holdings, have lost money on the coin.”

Not really a grammatical error. Kind of like asking someone by text "where is the nearest golf coarse? " More a lack of comprehension of the English language.

Just in. Some cunt in Washington wants to rename the Washington subway system "The Trump Train". Plans in place to make a federal holiday honoring Trump. Plans in place to carve his face onto Mount Rushmore. Plans for a $250.00 bill with cunt face's face on it.

Actually it was a grammatical error by definition and I definitely have quite a reasonable grasp in terms of English comprehension. I don't make excuses for my errors but when you are multitasking while you type substituting one version of a word for another is fairly common. Any how, thanks for helping me improve. You're a swell guy. 🤗

Define the definition of the grammatical error, if you can find the time between multi-tasking. I would like to hear it for my own edification. If you would be so kind.

Here's a more detailed explanation:
What constitutes a grammatical error?
  • Deviation from rules:
    It's essentially a mistake that breaks the rules of grammar, impacting the clarity and accuracy of communication.

  • Examples:
    This can include errors in parts of speech, word order, subject-verb agreement, verb tense consistency, punctuation, and more.

    • Impact on communication:
      Grammatical errors can make writing or speaking difficult to understand, potentially leading to misinterpretations or misunderstandings.
Common types of grammatical errors:
    • Subject-verb agreement: Mismatches between the subject (who or what is doing the action) and the verb (the action word).
    • Verb tense consistency: Inconsistent use of verb tenses within a sentence or paragraph.
    • Pronoun agreement: Pronouns (e.g., "he," "she," "it") not agreeing with the nouns they refer to.
    • Punctuation errors: Incorrect use of commas, periods, semicolons, etc.
    • Misplaced modifiers: Words or phrases that are placed in a sentence in a way that changes their intended meaning.
    • Word choice errors: Using the wrong word for the context.
Why are grammatical errors important?
    • Clarity of communication: Correct grammar ensures that your message is clear and easily understood by the reader or listener.
    • Professionalism: Grammatical errors can undermine your credibility in formal settings.
    • Effectiveness of writing: Proper grammar enhances the overall quality and impact of your writing.
Show me the bit where it says using the wrong word.

I will give you my example.

hoarfrost, deposit of ice crystals on objects exposed to the free air, such as grass blades, tree branches, or leaves. It is formed by direct condensation of water vapour to ice at

Not whorefrost.


Not a grammatical error. The use of the wrong word isn't mentioned as a grammatical error in your example provided.
