Chase....the largest bank in North America....who would have thought...uhm...
Unmentioned is that now that Holder is out of office, how much will his payoff be?
How much will michelle Obama get on Jan 21, 2017?
It is just a mystery to me
Ping. Gotta go. Gotta read this later.
Liberals reflexively attack business, so conservatives tend to reflexively defend them.
That’s a bad idea. It is entirely obvious to any reasonable person that massive criminality was committed during the 00s. It should be investigated, prosecuted and punished in accordance with law.
The corporate veil should be pierced to the extent the law allows and the responsible individuals sent to jail for long terms. This shouldn’t be allowed to be dealt with by a huge corporation paying a fine.
That’s what my brand of conservatism requires, anyway.
It’s embarassing to admit that the Parliament of UK handled the South Seas Bubble of 1720 better than our Congres has.
BTW, I see no reason whatsoever to assume a typical Republican administration would be handling this any differntly. The only difference is that the press would be all over them for it.
Alright, how did this whole article get posted because this website always dings me for posted more than 300 words
Long article with some facts that bear comprehending. But there is an awful lot of superfluous crap that doesn’t need to be in it. I could give a crap about her early idealism and student loans, and we could do without a lot of the other add-ons. One would hope this could be boiled down to just a few concise paragraphs.
NOT a company you want to invest in, nor even have a bank account with!
Typically the top five financial/banking corporations that were promoting homosexual causes before same-sex "marriage" came along were Citibank, JP Morgan Chase, AmEx, Charles Schwab, and San Francisco based Wells Fargo. Bank of America, which had previously been based in San Francisco, was probably somewhere around sixth.
The two industries among all of them that led the way in this (1990s, 2000s) was the Banking/Financial industry and the computer industry -- the computer industry primarily because of its proximity to San Francisco culture (Silicon Valley).
What I take away from this article is it is all going to happen again and we the taxpayers will be on the hook for it.
I don’t know about you but I am tired of paying for beach houses in the Hamptons and never being invited for brunch.
And we wrote checks to Fedzilla or had monies confiscated from our paychecks to serve these erstwhile thieves really, robbers in suits.
If a small firm did any of this, you can bet the people involved would be buried in a federal penitentiary, broken emotionally and spiritually and their loved ones shunning them.
Between the Nov 4, 2014 election and the 2016 election, the GOP establishment (read: the financial elite / criminal elites that run basically the world) will be conducting a multi-pronged campaign to:
a) soften the principles of the “conservative” electorate (note the recent activity of FReeperSleeper(tm) agent trolls, e.g., I’ve been a conservative all along, I never hid my views on FR, we just disagree on this one tiny little point, don’t I have a right to be here, etc., etc.)
b) put into the public media spotlight all the misdeeds of the current administration - which up until now they wanted kept as quiet as possible to lessen the damage to Democrats in the 2014 election
Now is the time when Obama’s name, as well as those in top-level cabinet posts in his administration, can be used with more “zest” to the stories, in media which primarily targets a conservative or middle-of-the-road audience in terms of political leanings. We can start finding out about more gory details now that it’s fast becoming academic.
Even for media targeted at the left, the Obama administration can also be hung out to dry from this point on, since that can form the basis of something to absorb all the blame for all the country’s problems in the 2016 election cycle for Democrat voters. It can finally go from “Bush’s fault” to “Obama’s fault”, since Obama won’t be running in 2016. The 2016 Democrat candidates can finally completely stop keeping quiet on the Obama administration’s criminality, and publicly proclaim to their voting base, loud and proud, that they disagreed with the former administration on oh so many points, even if they want to move forward with the same shopworn plea that the gubmint must be the savior of all poor and middle class sheeple.
Note that so many gullible conservative sheeple in the past have freaked out and worried aloud that Obama would try to stay in office past 2016 and become “President for life”.
Of course, they missed the point of the (relatively simple, but tricky) strategy: have Obama and the Democrats inflict as much socialism as possible during his two terms, with the Republican party figuratively quietly whispering in their ear “no, no” as they were having their way with the American sheeple. Then, with the public hungry for change in 2016, the most important part: from right after the 2014 election up until the 2016 election - go all-out to groom the conservative electorate (sheeple) to support the most liberal Republican (read: new world order) candidate for President in 2016 as the Republican party can possibly conjure up. Basically, Liberace made up to look like Nelson Rockefeller. Not much of a stretch for the political makeup artists.
Every time you think “Obama’s fault”, or think that we can’t let morality get in the way of “winning” 2016, remember, in the 3-card monte of new world order’s political theatre, you are being primed to select the card they want you to in the 2016 Republican primaries, which will once again ensure that both choices for President in 2016 will be, as always, brought to you by our friends at GloblistElites(tm).
And I still have friends who vote RAT because they are convinced that the GOP doesn’t care about the little guy.
There’s no tougher job than to be a whistleblower. Large institutions and their revolving-door enablers (aka “regulators”) in Washington know how to make life very difficult for anyone who wants to speak up.
That sums things up nicely, without going into root causes and consequences.
Back in August of 2012, the Christian world-view based WORLD MAGAZINE detailed Obama's corruption:Ties that Bind
and AGAIN in June of 2014:Too Big to Jail
Nice to see the liberal media doing what true journalists have already done.
Somehow, I think Rolling Stone will find a way to blame Republicans.
How is this article, and the same posting hours later, considered a “satire” or (for the later one) a “fake story?” To see Rolling Stone strike out at Eric Holder is something to be commended.
