That's what your butt-buddy PIBB thinks. He's a fucking idiot, so I know
one of you can set him straight.
Can you tell us why it was illegal for Trump to do business with ANY
Russian or business, when he was a private citizen, but not for THESE
companies? THIS is a VERY short list. There are actually 100s of AMERICAN
companies doing business in Russia.
Pfizer
Boeing
Ford
Apple
Google
Pepsi
Procter & Gamble
McDonald's
Mondelez International
General Motors
Johnson & Johnson
Cargill
Alcoa
General Electric (GE)
Ever since the Democratic National Committee decided to turn their disdain
for Bernie Sanders into disdain for Russians and Donald Trump, the New
York billionaire has been seen as being in bed with Russian oligarchs and
longing to cut deals in Moscow. Since when was it so bad to want to do
business with the Russians?
It's politically correct to hate on Russia these days. To like Russia
even a bit means you support Vladimir Putin, or are impressed by the
Russian mafia and probably hate polar bears, or something.
If it is so bad to do business with the Russians, or even want to do
business with the Russians, then maybe these companies should cut and run
before the righteous threaten them with boycotts or defame their name in
the press.
Here's who's doing business with the bad guys.
On July 13, Pfizer closed a joint venture agreement with Russian
pharmaceutical company NovaMedica.
Boeing has been in Russia for decades. About five years ago, it announced
plans to invest $27 billion over the next 30 years. In July 2015, an
agreement was signed between Russian titanium manufacturer VSMPO-Avisma
Corporation, Boeing and the Ural Federal University for joint research and
development projects.
Ford has been in Russia for 13 years. In April 2015, the joint Russian-
American venture Ford Sollers launched the production of the Ford Transit.
The American brand launched four new vehicles in Russia last year,
including the Focus and Fiesta models sold here.

U.S. companies with an existing presence in Russia include, PepsiCo PEP +
0.91%, Procter&Gamble, McDonald's, Mondelez International, General Motors,
Johnson & Johnson, Cargill, Alcoa, and General Electric. GE recently
signed a joint venture with oil firm Rosneft in expectation that
Washington will actually one day lift sanctions on oil firms.
Morgan Stanley, not Trump International, is a yuuuuge American investor in
Russian real estate, according to Knight Frank. In April, a fund
controlled by Morgan Stanley began negotiations to acquire several
shopping centers in Moscow. That same month, their real estate investing
fund acquired the Metropolis in Moscow for $1.2 billion from Capital
Partners, a Kazakhstan developer.?

It's considered money laundering.
Laundering Russian money is even worse.
It is illegal if it breaks the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Undue
influence or laundering would be enough.

STILL can't understand why liberal Democrats are so in love with Muslims.
Muslims are against abortion, contraception, pre-marital sex, they kill
homosexuals BY LAW and they treat women as slaves and chattel. Their old
men rape little boys and get away with it... oh, and they HATE you. Am I
leaving anything else out that you just LOVE about them?
