Nanker Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I know when there's a crime committed here and the police confiscate evidence, e.g., drugs, cash, cars, etc., they get to keep half and the DA's office gets to keep half once the trial is over. If the Feds are in on it, they get some of the split too. Not sure with banking and who the legal entities are that imposed the sanctions, but everybody involved will likely get a cut of that money.

Why cover it up? One would think that Trump would want people to know that he's so good that he's eliminated pre-existing conditions. Does he do this like in a revival meeting?

Buffalo_Gal Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Amid trade war fears, EU overrules France and green lights talks with USA European Union countries on Monday overruled France and gave the green light for Brussels to open trade talks with Washington as soon as possible and defuse trans-Atlantic tensions. The EU's 28 member states had struggled for months to agree on a mandate to open the talks, with some fearing the delay would restart a trade war with US President Donald Trump. </snip> EU sources said France voted against the mandate and Belgium abstained during a meeting of EU ministers in Luxembourg. Pursuing a limited trade deal is a key element of a truce negotiated in July that came close earlier this month to imploding after the US threatened $11 billion in fresh trade tariffs against Europe. Paris voted against the mandate over worries about domestic blowback just months ahead of European elections, set for May 23 to 26. French President Emmanuel Macron has insisted the US first sign back up to the Paris climate accord after Trump dumped the pact in 2017, infuriating Macron. </snip> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 America First? Trump vetoes effort to get us out of one of the worst humanitarian crisis in world today. Why should he allow a little bombing camapign against women and children to get in the way of his business interests with the Saudis Quote President Trump on Tuesday vetoed a resolution that would have ended U.S. support for the Saudi-led military campaign in Yemen. The move, which had been expected, marks the second veto of Trump’s presidency. “This resolution is an unnecessary, dangerous attempt to weaken my constitutional authorities, endangering the lives of American citizens and brave service members, both today and in the future,” Trump said in a statement. The measure had passed the House on a 247-to-175 vote this month and was approved by the Senate last month with the support of seven Republicans. This month’s House vote marked the first time both chambers had acted to invoke the same war-powers resolution to end U.S. military engagement in a foreign conflict. It also represented the latest instance of Congress’s challenging Trump’s decisions as commander in chief. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-vetoes-resolution-to-end-us-participation-in-yemens-civil-war/2019/04/16/0fabc312-60a1-11e9-bfad-36a7eb36cb60_story.html?utm_term=.5515ebd3e119 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
