i dont believe in hard socialism at all. but i do believe in a fair system that includes regulation and oversight to promote fair capitalism. what we have right now is not, it is socialized capitalism for the top and privatized inequity for the bottom.

increasingly we have been privatizing profits and socializing losses through a never ending cycle of debt. these guys all want to pay for this shit with future debt that they wont have to worry about and then we are stuck with the bill. there is a better way to do this and it does come from taxation, efficiencies, and fairness.

this begs the question: why are so many lefties so angry and hate-filled, about everything. most of them are pale pasty privileged lefties, but they are just so filled with rage. all of their former star politicians, which they worshipped when it was politically necessary to, are now held in contempt:

JFK
Clinton
Obama

and that’s just Presidents. dont forgot about their superstars like Anthony “Carlos Danger” Weiner, Katie Hill, and Al Franken, among others

meanwhile Ike Eisenhower and Reagan are still held in warm regard by their supporters

Everything.is.a.projection.

TLDR

Link 1: "The president was discussing an active criminal case with the authoritarian leader of a nation in which Mr. Trump does business; he reported receiving at least $2.6 million in net income from operations in Turkey from 2015 through 2018"

Link 2: "In Chinese corporate documents obtained by Foreign Policy, Ross is listed as serving on the board of a Chinese joint venture until January 2019—nearly two years into his term as commerce secretary. That joint venture, now called Huaneng Invesco WLR (Beijing) Investment Fund Management Co., is an investment partnership formed in September 2008 between Huaneng Capital Services, the U.S. management company Invesco, and a firm Ross founded, WL Ross & Co. Huaneng Capital Services is an arm of China Huaneng Group, a major state-owned power producer."

there is no evidence that Ross directly benefited from the joint venture

He sold stocks six months late because the stock price was going up
