America, being sold one piece at a time!

Anybody read the story about the Saudis buying the Chrysler building today?

Busboy · 1 year ago

I'm glad they bought the "Chrysler Mausoleum". Somebody has to renovate that sad stack of s__t. Maybe they'll make it into a mosque so that Hillary will have a place to worship... (if she can find her headscarf....)

Cool way to launder monies for the Russian Mafia.

Do not despair. Let them buy our real estate. We can always impose rent control. That is a political response we do have available.

My spouse and I saw Russian mafia in one of Paris's trendy restaurants. It was so bizzare. We were lucky that we were done with our dinner because as soon as they showed up, the restaurant's manager began clearing up the place for them. It was so stereotipycal. They were all wearing black or deep brown outfits, very hunky-dory with serious faces. Guy Ritchie's movie Snatch came into my mind.

It would be nice if we lived in a world where everyone got along. We don't. Be very careful America and our next president, of what the Russians and others are trying to accomplish here. No I'm not a right winger, hopefully you realise I'm just trying to be realistic. I love my country and our way of life. I don't want to lose it!

The toss-up between Russian and Israeli mafia in South Florida remains pretty much of a draw. The Israeli mob handles Key West, the Russian mob seems to have drawn Miami-Dade. The Russians tried to muscle into Orlando about 10 years ago but they just don't get the Disney thing that makes our world go around.
Everywhere in Florida, both mobs are up against the same social issue as the Anglos: they don't speak Spanish!
SIlly Russians!
Silly Israelis!
Silly Anglos!
La reconquista continua . . .

Russia exploded into criminality after "communism" (never sticking to the Communist Manifesto) was abandoned. You can get anything at all in Moscow, it's a very rich city and where decisions, both governmental and business, are made. Not so much for the rest of Russia, though where shortages are common and it's not so easy to make a living.

Russia is sort of like the late 1800s in the US...building up private monopolies and establishing colonies at the expense of everyone else, leading to the go-go 20s, only to crash and burn eventually, with strong govt leadership rescuing capitalism's ass during the Roosevelt administration.

Ha Ha. American banks being bailed out by Oligarchs in Russia. Money ends up in Israel either way doesn't it.

Chris, who owns the US Federal Reserve Bank? The Taxpayers?

Is there a problem with the Saudi's, Russians and Chinese owning our banking system?

The Commie/Socialists are waging war economically against us. If you haven't noticed this for the past decade, you haven't been paying attention. Down with anti-american social policies like welfare, the IRS, and amenesty for law breakers.
