Party. While he lacked contrition and essentially refused to take responsibility for the sexual misconducts accused of. He did take a jab at the president and Senate Hopeful roy moore i am aware that there is some irony in the fact that i am leaving while a man who has bragged on tape about his history of Sexual Assault sits in the oval office, and a man who has repeatedly preyed on young girls, campaigns for the senate with the full support of his party. Kennedy if franken is this unparalleled champion of women as he claims, why step down . Because he knows there is enough damning truth here. As long as franken remained in the upper chamber, republicans have cover in molesting roy moore. Well the democrats dispose of conyers and franken, they can clean house. Now democrats are in a better position to capitalize when moores election hands them the victory. They can watch dozen of congressional barn calculations move out to sea. And there is plenty of momentum to give him plenty of comp

First up, bitcoin open for trading yesterday on an exchange run by the cboe. Heavy traffic causing outages on the cboe website, while the exchange also halted trading temporarily due to extreme volatility what to expect from Bitcoin Futures after what a wild week for that Digital Currency. A lot of people thought once this opened up were going to see it fall because people would be shorting it, but thats not stopped the rise it hasnt happened, but its only been a few hours, so lets see what happens take a look where we are, its important to point out were trading at a nice premium to the underlying spot price here 18,000 now over that cash price is 16,700, its been fluctuating, but you have a good 1,200 premium or so this is whats called the cost of money, the carry, thats tying up money for a month, so its usually a bit of a premium.
