Trump claims that he took away China's phone system

😂😂

In his desperation for campaign cash, Trump is courting crypto bros by promising that he will be nice to them when he becomes President. Last week, he spoke at a conference for Bitcoin enthusiasts and pretended to know what Bitcoin is and how it works

Watch Trump's hilarious attempt to understand Bitcoin in an interview

"maybe we'll pay off our $35 trillion, hand them a little crypto check, right"

Why Putin sees the prison swap as a win for him & Russia

"if we send you on missions abroad, and things go wrong, we’ll find a way of getting you home"

Russia's media are also pushing the "true patriot" msg hard and letting Russians know the Kremlin will never turn its back on true patriotism

#TipsAndTricks

Security scans can't detect BingoMod reliably

Avoid smishing by never clicking links from unverified source - Smishing, or SMS phishing delivers a malware-laced weblink to the unsuspecting victim's device, which in this case installs the BingoMod app (version 1.5.1) under a false identity, usually spoofing the app name and icon for mobile security tools like AVG AntiVirus & Security.

Looks like its going ahead

"Glasgow, a rescheduled racist protest now taking place on the 7th of September wants to bring this hate to our city. Disguised as a 'pro-UK rally' to 'defend our country', in reality this is a rallying call for all those who want to make society less united, safe and diverse"
