Expand I know what he posted, and I stand by what I said. That isn't important. But.....When you claim some sort of credibility based on honest consideration of facts, your skeletons get exposed.

GG Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 On 1/7/2020 at 10:21 PM, John Adams said: He's tried one justification as linking it to 9-11, which is completely absurd. Now he's also going with imminent threat. We will see about that justification. And we will see if it was strategically wise. Expand Attacking a military base and killing a US citizen and then ordering a mob to attack, burn and occupy a US embassy isn't enough? 1

Once you do that, no matter how honorable your intentions, people who know these folks doubt your ability or sincerity to: "go where the evidence leads" No disrespect intended. Just things remembered, and not admitted. Expand You're still hung up on something I never said. I posted a news article on the story -- I offered no opinion on it or the people involved. I've offered plenty of opinions over the years, but never on that. And when you spoke up about knowing the people involved I listened 1

dubs Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 On 1/7/2020 at 7:08 PM, sherpa said: I am assuming that there is absolutely no need to deal with this guy's incompetence, whether as a businessman or a leader of a nation in possession of the greatest military and financial capability the world has ever known. I did a bit of financial work, formally and paid, on his "business" a few decades ago when he tried to launch a hostile bid on a company. Thank God he failed. I've watched him "fail" in many other endeavors that ended up in court, and those of a more personal nature that we all know about. I hoped he would work out, because I sure as hell wasn't going to vote for his competitor. He is in over his head, and everything suggests that, at it always has. All that aside, no matter the suggestion of his advanced skilled nuance, never visible in his track record heretofore, he has suggested that the US military will do something it doesn't, and won't do. If this is because he is brilliant, I'll admit it when I see it. What I see is stupid unnecessary nonsense. Expand Donald Trump is an unsuccessful businessman? That’s your position? What did Obama do before he was president that gave you such confidence he’d be a great leader? Was it his community organizing? just trying to gauge the standard here.

Expand I really do not remember it that way, and just spent some time digging for the subject in the DS thread (and couldn't find it -- which shows me it wasn't a big topic of discussion at least on my end). I remember clearly posting a news article on the scandal without further comment. That article might have named people -- but I did not.
