So now were just going for payoffs again. This rule actually HELPS many US firms, because it allows them to say.....we can't pay you bribes, so don't ask.

Swampity, swamp, swamp.

Good. This will help level the playing field for our domestic corps going after lucrative global contracts against foreign corporations.

This is really so XOM can hide its deals with Putin. Even from its shareholders...You know, the people that supposedly own the company.

Good lord everything revolves around Putin. This is so all US multinational corps can have a level playing field. Other nations constantly bribe to get deals done. Not saying it's right, but it is the way stuff gets done globally. Allowing our corps to actually compete is a good thing, IMO.

YES! Until DJT starts behaving otherwise....Putin is running everything. Please give me something to show that DJT is independent of Putin.

Go ahead and point out where anybody has said anything about private businesses making secret payments.

What the heck is with all these "witty" catchphrases from the lefties? You're not funny...at all.

You know I could buy Tom for what he was truly worth and sell him for what he thinks he's worth and have more money than Davey Crockett and Donald Trump.

Depends on how old Tom may be. Is he a Milo or Charles Nelson Riley? I'm guessing more of the CNR type

I admire Toms focus and strength of conviction.

The city of ZINGE! .....and the diamonds....
