    The Trump administration has waived part of the punishment for five megabanks whose affiliates were convicted and fined for manipulating global interest rates. One of the Trump administration waivers was granted to Deutsche Bank — which is owed at least $130 million by President Donald Trump and his business empire, and has also been fined for its role in a Russian money laundering scheme.

    From the same article:

    In late 2016, the Obama administration extended temporary one-year waivers to five banks — Citigroup, JPMorgan, Barclays, UBS and Deutsche Bank. Late last month, the Trump administration issued new, longer waivers for those same banks, granting Citigroup, JPMorgan, and Barclays five-year exemptions. UBS and Deutsche Bank received 3-year exemptions.

    ****ing hell, indeed.

    This is obviously patently absurd. Trump's not even as bad as his predecessor. Didn't Obama's minions try to prosecute a Fox News reporter and politically persecuted Dinesh D'Souza?

    But in actual fascist type behavior towards the media, Google rolled out their fact checking search result service today. Looks like as of now it's only targeting popular right wing websites. Would really like to see honest folks on the left call out Google for this. If Dailywire and The Federalist need to be fact checked then so does Vox, Vice, Buzzfeed, etc. Wish we'd hear more from principled liberals when it comes to bias from twitter and youtube as well. Dave Rubin videos need to be demonetized?
    thank you weso1!

    For some reason, Google has decided its time to go all in. They recently updated their YouTube ToS and are imposing retroactive penalties on videos that are several years old that now violate the weeks old ToS. I imagine everyone can guess what ideology the new violators typically represent. They are also expanding their demonetization spree against content creators they find controversial. And now they're putting an ideological filter on search results. Crazy times.

    And people pretend there isn't a gloablist movement to silence any semblance of conservative voices. Everything that has been said the past 30+ years has been proven to be true.

    Yeah. Democrats have overplayed the "Trump is stupid" card. Now it's going to be way too easy for him to show how far they were stretching the truth.

    I guess the question I have is did you have a problem with Obama providing the waiver?

    wow, it is an accomplishment for the President of the United States with the biggest button staying lucid and not shaating his breeches for 55 minutes ?
    See this is a slightly smarter way for the left to play this. Even better would have been to skip stupid and just go with mean, maybe break out the Romney rhetoric and say he can't understand the average American.

    The Dem strategy has made Trump AND Randi Rhodes look smart on the same day. Remarkable, truly.

    hold up, who lost what?

    just reading a lot of whining here thinking google has a globalist agenda against white conservatives cause the dumbass did stupid **** like this:

    James Damore, a former Google engineer who was fired in August after posting a memo to an internal Google message board arguing that women may not be equally represented in tech because they are biologically less capable of engineering

    that's a really weird way to argue and come to the defense of that loser to say that a woman can't be an engineer
