Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Why would any corporation allow this and not instantly fire the CEO?
“Hey board, I just tied up a huge chunk of cash, with no possible return on investment, did I do good?”
Given the company is worth over $100b I don't even think something this value would be mentioned to the board, let alone concern them when they just bought a potential president for cheap
People would be shocked at how often insurance agencies are the backers/owners of personal loans. It's a bread and butter investment for them.
This is a loan in name only
Yeah, talk about an extreme possible return on investment - pocket change for a POTUS.
91 Million is a write-off for them. Not a tax write off (they don’t pay taxes already, obvs), an accounting write-off. Like at the end of the year they just go, “looks like we lost 91 million somehow. Oh well, subtract it from 100 billion and continue laughing
Trump is dirty, maybe this guy is dirty too - like, has some power (blackmail?) over the board members?
like I said in a different post... they should probably be investigated.
They are a Trump appointee... I bet the correlation there between those who, upon being investigated, end up proven dirty, will be astonishingly high.
What don’t we all have a golden shower and Epstein video, we want to burry?
Uh... no? It seems the price of admission to be Putin's lapdog though - he will help you, if you help him, but he also wants dirt on you first. He even provided all the necessary materials - the hotel room, prostitutes, camera, and videographer, he's so helpful that way!:-D
Probably when trump appointed him he made the company a ton of money. And maybe they are hoping did that again.
Ah, yes, the company probably doesn't even pay a good chunk of their employees a living wage. But they have no problem spending money on stupid shit like this. Classic.
