What we all should be talking about.

  • Image result for deutsche bank
Dear America, please ease up off the Game Of Thrones water cooler talk for just a minute and start talking about stories like the following: 

"Financial transactions by legal entities controlled by Donald Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner in 2016 and 2017 were flagged as suspicious by anti-money laundering specialists inside Deutsche Bank. But bank executives repeatedly discouraged the staffers from raising the concerns and filing a formal report with the Treasury Department, according to the New York Times.

The Times talked to five current and former bank employees who said transactions involving Trump’s and Kushner’s firms set off alerts in the computer system that detects potentially suspicious activity. Staff members then prepared what are known as suspicious activity reports but executives at the bank put a stop to them and they were never submitted to the Treasury Department. 
  
Deutsche Bank has been in the spotlight because it has lent billions to the Trump and Kushner companies even as other financial institutions refused to do business with them. Although it isn’t clear what the transactions were about, at least some of them had to do with money going from Kushner’s firms to Russian individuals. Concerns were also raised regarding Trump’s firms and at least one transaction was related to the now-dissolved Donald Trump Foundation.

The Times makes clear that suspicious activity reports by themselves don’t prove any wrongdoing. And regular transactions involving real estate can raise red flags because they can involve all-cash deals. The bank, the Trump Organization and Kushner Companies all denied wrongdoing. But the Times’ sources say the failure to report the transactions is part of a wider culture inside Deutsche Bank in which executives reject reports in order to protect their relationship with wealthy clients.

Congressional investigators have been looking into the long relationship between Deutsche Bank and Trump as well as his family members. Two House committees have filed subpoenas for documents relating to suspicious activities involving Trump’s accounts since 2010 but the president and his family have sued Deutsche Bank to try to block it from complying." [Source]

All these subpoenas being filed by democrats don't mean a thing. Mr. trump and his pals will continue blocking and obstructing until the clock runs out. 

Sadly, Americans don't seem to care. We are all too busy waiting for the next hot HBO series.

You just can't quit, can you? William Barr is going to explode all the Trump Myths.

BTW...whatever happened to my good buddy, Purple Cow? Did he and his fat, white, toothless wife get deported?


Cow was always so good on reporting how none of the wall was being built. I suppose he had "inside sources".

How about today, you bovine POS?

"Cow was always so good on reporting how none of the wall was being built. I suppose he had 'inside sources.'"

It doesn't take any inside sources to know there's no wall. Trump doesn't have any federal money to build a wall with; therefore, he cannot build one.

When Republicans controlled both houses of Congress, they refused to give Trump the money for his wall. Now that the Democrats control one house, the money for damn sure won't get approved.

Trump has attempted to declare a "national emergency" to try to suck the money out of already-approved military budgets, but that's a blatant abuse of the law that provides for national emergency spending, and so the Dems will keep that bullshit tied up in court with a lawsuit until Trump gets voted out of office.

At which point, this fantasy of a border wall will vanish for good, and wingnuts will cry and soil their diapers and declare there's going to be a civil war ... and ultimately do nothing.

A federal judge has upheld the House's subpoena for Trump's financial records. So far, it's not looking good for his efforts to declare himself above the law.

dinthebeast said...

That judge said that, contrary to the bogus claims of Fergus' lawyers, he had to defer to congress' article I power and provide them with anything from which legislation might be had, and not try to second guess their motives.

Fergus and his felons are freaking the fuck out over the speed at which they lost this suit, the purpose of which was to stall a proceeding they knew they would ultimately lose, to run out the clock past the upcoming election.

And the Amash shaped crack it their Republican stonewall as well.

As for Deutsche Bank, the money laundering detection software that flagged Kushy's Russian transactions was there as part of the deal they made after being busted for laundering Russian money already, and Fergus has been laundering Russian money ever since every legitimate bank on the planet stopped loaning him more money to lose.

So he's fairly justified in freaking the fuck out, because if he doesn't manage to steal another election, he'll be prosecuted for the growing list of felonies he perpetrated before he accidentally won the election he planned on losing.

That's the real reason he can't stop talking about how he won the 2016 election: he wasn't supposed to win, and winning has landed him in a world of hurt.

“Now the new big story is that Trump made a lot of money and buys everything for cash, he doesn’t need banks,” Trump said. “But where did he get all of that cash? Could it be Russia? No, I built a great business and don’t need banks, but if I did they would be there…and DeutscheBank was very good and highly professional to deal with – and if for any reason I didn’t like them, I would have gone elsewhere….there was always plenty of money around and banks to choose from. They would be very happy to take my money. Fake News!”

Drumpf pretty much covered all sides of this issue with lies.

This is interesting, to say the least:

May 20, 2019 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Okay, here’s some Monday morning math.

The Republican National Committee sure spends a whole lot of time and money with 1-800-GOT-JUNK.

From January – March of 2019, they report this.







If ya add all that up, you get about $6,300 just to haul off crap in a two month period. That’s a lot of crap.

And they apparently didn’t get it all. Because in March, they were still hauling crap off.







Now here’s the part that that made my ears perk up.

Did you know that 1-800-Got-Junk will come to your office and pick up computers that you want to get rid of? They do – and they provide another very important service:

If you have sensitive data on your hard drive that you would like destroyed, you can ask us for a certificate of destruction.

That would be very helpful if you have to respond to multiple subpoenas.

So it may be the RNC that is “acid washing” its computers – not the Clintons.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.

Hold on a minute, partner. First off, Trump was not "duly elected", he overtly sought and got help from the Russians. The 2016 election should be nullified it's a fraud - a fake - a con.
Dragging out a claim that we all are commies, is just laughable. Communism is dead as a door nail and will stay dead for at least a hundred years.
Try to think of something intelligent to say next time you post.

"Joe Biden and HRC say Good Morning to All super predators and their enabling friends and family who peruse this blog."

It's a dumb talking point that (I believe) originated with the Bernie campaign during the 2016 primaries.

During the Bill Clinton years, there was a fashionable psychological and criminal justice theory that inner city children who got involved in crime at an early age would become irredeemable sociopaths who could never be rehabilitated. This was based on some faulty analysis of criminal justice statistics. And it became a justification for handing out longer and longer prison sentences, because if people can't be reformed, then the only alternative is to jail them for life.

Supporting her husband, Hillary Clinton endorsed the "superpredator" theory in one or two speeches.

It was certainly fair to criticize so-called tough-on-crime theories like this from the nineties, particularly given the damage they caused to the black community.

It was not at all fair to pretend Hillary Clinton called all black people "superpredators." That never happened.

Anonymous said...

Now here is some poetic justice:

Since a federal district court ruled that Trump has to comply with the House subpoena to hand over his financial records, he is unsurprisingly appealing.

But guess where that appeal is ending up? Why, at a court headed by Merrick Garland, of course. Guys, you remember Merrick Garland, right? He's the judge whom Obama nominated to fill a SCOTUS seat, and then Senate Republicans unconstitutionally shafted by refusing to even hold confirmation hearings, opting to try to steal that seat on the court instead. (And they succeeded, because Trump became president and appointed Neil Gorsuch.)

Something tells me Garland might not be Trump-friendly ...

He is not the world's greatest negotiaTor. He doesn't hire any of the best people. He surrounds himself with inferiors and demands loyalty from them. And he is the most notorious cheater aT golf. And you deserve what ever he has done or will do to your family, finances and your healthcare. Enjoy.

He'll run on at the following:

No equal pay for men and women (To maintain white male dominance)

No abortion ( To maintain white male control and to stop the declining birth rate of white babies)


No Affordable Health Care (So middle class folks that get cancer, or any other life threatening illness or catastrophe , can go bankrupt, go into foreclosure, and wipe out their savings to pay for medical costs and good doctors).

No nutritious lunches. Just sugar, lots of salt, lots of fat and lots of cholesterol (after all, when the kids get juvenile diabetes and heart disease the drugs they take will keep the drug companies in business).



Yes...4 more years of our POTUS.....the race war card wins every time.
