Trump Gives Panama An Offer They Cannot Refuse (Spoiler: Panama Refused)

[butters]

DA was actually agreeing with you.

DA was basically saying that what you posted was true AND infuriating.

Emojis don’t always mean what you think.

I use that emoji quite often for posts I agree with, but still find infuriating. Others do as well.

Hope that ^ helps.

that is an issue some of us have, here... I might post a 'mad' or 'sad' but my intention as to which part of the post I'm emojiing to—a quoted article/meme or the poster's added text—has to be determined by the reader. Over time, people who know my thinking on here probably get it, but it's not a given

BS

Just because Trump started no new military adventures in his first term does not mean we can count on that for his second.

Consider Woodrow Wilson -- re-elected in 1916 on the slogan "He kept us out of war!"

Why Blackrock is buying Panama ports from a Chinese company: buying favor from the Trump administration, and thereby making money in red states! MAGAs have attacked Blackrock for years.

Often a political punching bag for MAGA Republicans, asset manager BlackRock may have bought some conservative credibility along with its purchase of two critical ports on both sides of the Panama Canal.

BlackRock has been restricted, or outright banned, by a number of Republican-led states from managing retirement or treasury funds over the company's policies on environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) investing.

Now some red state officials are taking another look.

"BlackRock working with the Trump administration is going to be positive for everybody, I can see that opening up some doors for them," said Indiana Treasurer Daniel Elliott.

The Clown Show Administration has no actual beliefs, and anyone can buy their support. You can bet that bribes are also paid into Trump’s overseas accounts.

The CEO of Blackrock, Larry Fink, is one of the few people alive richer than Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos. He is the principal of the mutual fund that has 7.4 Trillion-with-a-T in assets under management. Fink doesn't give a fuck about politics. He's recently gotten involved with cryptocurrencies, which he regards as a "financial instrument driven by fear, but when you factor out the fear, can be quite profitable'.

China blocks sale of Panama Canal shipping terminals to US investor: Reports

CK Hutchison will not sign a deal as scheduled to sell its port operations near the Panama Canal to a U.S. investor and Swedish shipping line.

The Hong Kong conglomerate (OTC: CKHUF) controlled by billionaire Li Ka-shing on March 4 announced an agreement to sell control of its Hutchison Port Holdings marine terminals outside China to a consortium of BlackRock (NYSE: BLK) and TiL, the terminals arm of Geneva-based shipping firm MSC, for $23 billion. The announcement set an April 2 deadline to finalize the transaction.

The sale, which includes terminal operations at the ports of Balboa and Cristobal in Panama, followed public pressure from President Donald Trump, who has said the U.S. should retake control of the Panama Canal.

In an attempt to distract Americans from his failures, Trump is ranting about the Panama Canal again. But this time he’s ranting about the Suez Canal too, because reasons.

Trump says US ships should have free use of Panama and Suez canals

“American ships, both military and commercial, should be allowed to travel, free of charge, through the Panama and Suez canals!” Trump posted on Saturday.

He claimed both routes would “not exist” without the US and said he had asked his secretary of state, Marco Rubio, to “immediately take care of” the situation.

Little Marco Rubio: “Oh for fuck’s sake.”

He's running out of "shinny" things to distract his cult with.
