ike 63 million other Trump voters, I voted for President Trump to rescue the dying U.S. economy. To lower my taxes. To repeal the disaster known as Obamacare (aka the horribly Unaffordable Care Act). To bolster small business. These are simple things. But the media ignores them all. They want to distract you away from what matters.

Yes, but you didn't say the most important word:

WALL.

...WALL....

You didn’t say “a big beautiful one.”

Proof Obama Wanted to 'Choke' Every Business Owner in America

We already knew that this was an America Hating, Marxist, Mooselimb, Imposter Prez.

We know that he wanted to bankrupt this country by putting us another $12 Trillion in debt and we still do not know the real deficit!

We know that he had the MSM at his back all the time he was the prez. and this is why the individual American citizen never heard of all the lawlessness that went on during his administration!!!

We can write a book on all the lawlessness that went on during the Obama presidency and the MSM never has covered one bit of this and we all know it!!!

“Even liberal lawyers called it a terrible violation of the United States Constitution.”

And they had YEARS to bring it to the attention of, ‘We The People’ and yet, they did not...

There ya go.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

“we could write a book”?
Damn, your book would require more words and volumes than the Encyclopedia Britannica.

PING, PING, PING!

You can always count of Wayne Allen Root to cut to the chase. Brilliant article about Obama's conspiracy to illegally destroy the Left's enemies.

[The Westerner]

True. In my circle of acquaintances over the last 8 years are small business owners who were unable to get short-term loans to meet monthly expenses, as they always had done. Several went out of business. Several reduced the number of employees and limped along. Middle class, middle-aged men and women. They cannot get back what they had built and lost.

I just looked at the list of businesses covered by Operation Chokepoint.

No offense to anyone on this thread, but some of those businesses should be choked out. Payday loans are the bane of military posts and they prey on those young soldiers who have little or no real world experience.

Anything that cuts down on pornographic sites pinging your searches is good. Online gambling is another that should be hammered into the ground.

There are obviously quite a few businesses which should not have been on that list, and were put there for political purposes, but the idea is still good.

[SkyPilot]

“Operation Choke Point” was a program dreamed up by Obama to cut off bank accounts, credit, loans and credit card merchant accounts to LEGAL businesses in America. Yes, the federal government tried to strangle and “choke” LEGAL business that Obama deemed “undesirable.” Even liberal lawyers called it a terrible violation of the United States Constitution.

Prosecute President Obama for treason? Ahh....ahh...just don't know.......

[who knows what evil?]

Root is ALWAYS a good read...thanks!

I’d add pyramid schemes to your list. IMO, they are not “businesses” but as the name implies “schemes”.

Businesses that provide no value but only serve to move money from the consumer’s pocket to the schemers pocket should be looked at carefully. (Lawyers fall into this category, btw.)

My initial reaction to payday loans was very negative. I thought they were predatory and that the interest charged was criminal/abusive. Since then I have read an economic analysis of payday loans which defended them. It was pretty persuasive. Here are 2 links:

It would be nice if people managed their money in such a way that they never needed payday loans, but based on what I’ve read, payday loans fill a genuine need.

...yes, that Mexico pays for...

Oh! History. As the left has destroyed all statues and monuments showing us our past, they will come for WAR’s writings showing us our present. Why write about something that will be erased when the “cleaner uppers” are once again in charge of ALL AMERICAN peoples?

Yes, PP, BO’B had the ability to use the choke on many business - he particularly used this one on gun manufacturers. What better way to deny citizens the right to own them?

Thanks for the ping :)

bammy is a marxist. He believes that all the means of production should be in the hands of the collectivity. He lied when he said he had a “laser-like focus on jobs.”
