FR

In case y'all did not know, members of congress are allowed to dabble in the stock market. They are allowed to invest or divest based on personal knowledge aforehand that they are going to pass legislation, or give contracts that directly affect the value of their own investments.

This is all perfectly legal. They made it perfectly legal. Also, if they are on their way to a session in congress, they cannot be arrested FOR ANYTHING WHATSOEVER.

And the SEC busted Martha Stewart for what ?

And WTF is Trump going to do, not allow Muslims to play golf at his courses or stay at his hotels ? They talk about him building a hotel in Saudi Arabia, so what ? Is he going to put bombs in it in case they do something wrong ? (which they already do but nobody seems to care)

I don't care. Everyone in the beltway has an agenda, and usually that agenda is to get as rich as possible. Lie, cheat, insider trading, take bribes. All OK.

So the President doesn't get bribes while in office. Sure. Do you think a bunch of successful business people want to hear the musings of an ex-President to the tune of a hundred grand or whatever ? Fuck no, that is the payoff for something they did in office for them.

The difference between the President and congress is that congress can get their bribe money right away. And being the lawmakers they are never going to make a law against it, because after all you just can't live on $176,000 a year. (they are about due for a raise, if you got three toga partiers in Harvard or Yale that money does not go very far)

Remember the monkeys and the electrified banana. You have to change them all at the same time.

T^T

Oh now you don't care but but but...Hillary was so corrupt, we just couldn't vote for that cunt/crook.

Now we can cut yours and the right's hypocrisy with a fucking knife. Seems then it is much worse to be accused of being corrupt then it is to know the president-elect who 60+ million voted for because of it...IS fucking corrupt. Trump foundation admits to IRS...it IS corrupt.

Remember the campaign just a few weeks/months ago ?

Hey Donny boy, how about a new 5 star in Beijing and we'll lend your govt. another Trillion $ that you'll surely need with your rent-seeking tax cuts. Just let us have the South China Sea.

Hey Donny boy...how about a 5 star right in Tehran just look the other way when WE go ahead build nukes...now ?

Hey Donny boy how about we pay off Deutsch bank for you, look the other way when we send a few divs. right into Kiev and take the fuck over ?

Hey Donny boy, send your wife and daughter both over to suck my cock and we'll give ole Rexy (new sec. of state) say 10% off on our oil for Exxon ?

As Newt says, fuck the laws, just pull out the ole repub playbook...pardon everybody. HERE

Might just as well pardon Noriega. All he was doing was selling cocaine while on CIA payroll...small potatoes hey Donny.

In every other country on the globe (maybe except yours) this is simply called corruption.

Any more to abandon, or "bend in favour"?

It's not corruption.
The founder of our country, pretty much have his wife, run public transport, his daughter in law manage our tax payers money in investments, keeping our country reserves in surpluses by the multi-billions, and have his sons run our major telecommunications providers. Not in government positions. Public transportation is privatised, and the company is owned by his wife. Telecommunications is obviously private companies and own by his sons. Fund managing of our reserve is also by an external fund managing company, where his daughter in law was CEO in.

Yet we have one of the lowest corruption in the world. How corrupted a country is, is not decided by us in international rankings.

Family can be in business catering to the government and it doesn't have to be corrupted. As long as they work towards the good of the country.

In this situation, i see no evidence of corruption. I do not believe Trump is forcing diplomats to use Trump organization services at all.

The problem now is IF they choose to, Trump gets in trouble.

That's ridiculous.

But it's just interesting how in our situation. None of us raise up a stink about his family running all the major things, because they are doing such a great job with it.

And if they fuck up, they get penalties accordingly. No special treatment.

But I *think* US doesn't have a system where they fine telecommunications and transportation companies for not performing up to a certain level of standards.

Well the GSA is paying a Trump co. for security for starters. The new sec. of state wants a good deal for Russian oil for Exxon. Think he'll get it ? The Trump Foundation to IRS...we ARE corrupt !!

Comparing your country with no power to change anything in the world, with ours who preaches transparency and 'not even an appearance of any conflicts' and is the world's superpower...is not even a nice try.

Oh not to put to fine a point on all of this, Trump International is on a ground lease with the GSA that specifically prohibits ownership from being ANY elected official. Oh but hey, what's a little corruption when we all wish we too could be greedy, capitalist scum and be elected POUS ?
