that’s so fucking ridiculous. Fuck Facebook first and foremost but holy shit, this can’t be allowed to happen. Hope the hammer comes down on the lot of them even though it won’t.

But it is opening eyes for sure, people are starting to realize who they’re getting fucked by
The fucking is literally everywhere now.

I love the "speaking fees" from banks to politicians and regulators. They don't even bother to launder the money anymore
Oh, they do. Just walk into a Wells Fargo.

Ohhhhhhh... look what we have here. I'm sure Yellen is not compromised at all and can be trusted... as the fucking Secretary of the TREASURY! :howler:


That's it, we need to tank this country.
Of course this is bs. Ironic though that you ignored it and acted like it was no big deal the past 4 years when your guys were “winning” lol

And so on and so forth from the Trump admin, which was just one ethics/corruption scandal after another.

Where was this energy the past 4 years?

Feel free to look through my posts and see if I made any references to Ross. Honestly, I barely even remember his name, but he's not someone I would particularly care to defend, or consider that important to lambast. So good for you, you found someone I didn't call out before.

Yellen, on the other hand, served as the chair of the Federal Reserve for years, which is the private central bank that controls our issuance of currency and monetary policy. I wouldn't be lying to say that her former position is more powerful than that of any President, or potentially anybody else in the entire world. They conduct monetary policy separately, without any real oversight from the Washington clowns, who can't even request to see their books, apparently.

Anybody who follows my posts know that it's my viewpoint the Fed is responsible for not only the increasing wealth gap, but also the ability for wall street banks to fleece the public. They also allow the government to run absurd deficits. So pardon me when I point out that it might not be in the best interest of the nation to have a former Fed chair as Treasury secretary, being mindful that this person was unanimously voted in by both criminal parties, further illustrating the lack of a choice we really have between the two parties.

That wasn’t my point at all. You literally called no one out the last 4 years. You just ignored everything and countered with: “but what about the Dems?” Corruption and ethics scandals piled one on top of the other. Not just Ross. Pruitt, Mnuchin, etc. Mnuchin, last treasury secretary was a former Goldman Sachs partner, a Hillary Clinton backer for her Senate campaigns and 2008 presidential candidacy, and a George Soros partner at one point :lol:

Which, to be fair, illustrates your last point succinctly. There is no choice. But again, I’m confused as to why there was silence over all this shit for 4 years. Trump changed nothing. He wasn’t draining the swamp, if anything he just helped it get swampier. And lo and behold, looks like Biden will continue with that. What a surprise!

I don’t know if you saw this before, but just another example, Steve Mnuchin’s bank fucking over average Americans during the foreclosure crisis, and Kamala Harris as AG, sweeping it all under the rug. These people are all the same.

To be fair, I was never a fan of Mnuchin either. Tillerson was just the Exxon CEO, don’t really care about that. But let’s put it this way. If Trump had appointed Ben Bernanke as Treasury Secretary, I would have been very displeased, and you’d have known. One of the reasons why I liked Donald at first was because he mulled auditing the Fed, something that obviously didn’t come to fruition and probably never will. So that was a big fail.
