Tiberius Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Oh wait, you mean we were lied to?? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/21/us/politics/oleg-deripaska-russian-sanctions.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage Quid pro quo Quote WASHINGTON — When the Trump administration announced last month that it was lifting sanctions against a trio of companies controlled by an influential Russian oligarch, it cast the move as tough on Russia and on the oligarch, arguing that he had to make painful concessions to get the sanctions lifted. But a binding confidential document signed by both sides suggests that the agreement the administration negotiated with the companies controlled by the oligarch, Oleg V. Deripaska, may have been less punitive than advertised. The deal contains provisions that free him from hundreds of millions of dollars in debt while leaving him and his allies with majority ownership of his most important company, the document shows.

If Deripaska has personal liability for the loans then the bank would have to release him from his personal liability. No place in the story you posted does it say that whatever lender is involved released him from his personal responsibility to pay. If Deripaska DIDN'T have personal liability for the loans, then he was never responsible and there's no change in his status. None of it really mentions the fact that Deripaska no longer owns a controlling stake in the companies involved -- probably a result which is worth a hell of a lot more than the loans.

No, you are just stupid. Just because Trump fails at everything doesn't mean he hasn't tried, and anyone who reads the papers knows he tried. You are just your usual dishonest self.

Congress forced him with overwhelming votes. You have been following the story story of how he lifted sanctions on Deriposkev? Even over the objection of GOP senators and over 150 GOP House members? Just admit it, you could care less he is Putin's boy. I think some Republicans love it. He is getting away with a big crime and that makes them happy. 5 hours ago, Hedge said: Hmm, would this be Russian coal-lusion? I guess all that drilling under Obama paid off.

But now there is a trend for one space always, which I just don’t like. and I think two spaces has been favored until very recently. Two-spacing is a typewriter artifact of mono-width fonts. Think, Books and magazines in the 20th century have all used single spacing after periods. The problem is that when the world moved to modern word processor fonts, typewriting teachers kept teaching double-spacing because it was all they knew. And teachers keep teaching it because someone once told them "it was right." It's not and makes no sense. But it's still around. No publication double spaces after the period but lots of people do it because they were told to do it. Most people who doublespace also think that starting a sentence with a conjunction is forbidden. And they probably avoid splitting infinitives. They believe in silly things.
