No kidding. I didn’t mean my post to sound reproachful. Sorry if it did.
At that time, there were some of us who would have been fine with McCain - and said so. The only fly in the ointment was Palin. She received a lot of ridicule (and deserved it).
Trump accused China of “unpresidented” behavior. Apparently his people have been explaining the concept of impeachment to him using the term.
We can only hope that this is the same kind of projection he uses for everything else he says.
No problem!
I just read where it took his staff 87 minutes to notice that and correct it.
So China picked up an unmanned underwater vehicle that the US Navy was operating near Chinese water. Things have been a little tense. This is the kind of delicate international incident requiring careful discussion.
Or, another option is a tweet. Like the one Trump sent:
[Quote=Twit of the US]
We should tell China that we don’t want the drone they stole back.- let them keep it!

Now, that’s diplomacy!
I voted for Hillary, but I don’t recall ever pointing to anything good about her; I could easily name a number of things I disliked about her positions or her campaign – one of which almost made me throw up in my mouth – but the only selling point I ever really had in mind, when talking her up to others or myself, was derp trump bad.
Trump is not afraid of his creditors, his creditors are afraid of him. And now that he’s president, if he is anything near the despot in making that some people think he is, then his creditors have no fucking hold over him at all.
The banks that lend money to Trump’s real estate deals do not lend money on faith. Real estate loans are usually secured and based on a pretty solid business plan. I doubt Trump has trouble raising money for a good project and like it or not, Trump’s name on a project adds value. His name represents the lion’s share of his wealth.
I agree that Palin got more flak than McCain but only because most of the liberals on this board aren’t partisan idiots but enough are.
I also agree he didn’t get as much flak as Trump, in fact he got much less notice generally than Obama and Hillary that year.
cite?
If his name is his wealth then I have real doubts about his liquidity.
You don’t know what his debt is, who it’s to, how many times he’s been sued, what his tax returns look like, where any of those suits are in progress, what the value of his name is, or what his motives are in what he says and how they are affected by this, how easy or difficult it is for him to borrow money from various sources, how wealthy he is… or anything really.
What you do know you ignore.
Given that, are you fighting ignorance or just being a donald mythifier, and apologist?
It’s really curious tone for someone who voted against him.
Hmmm… I guess you do know the correct usage of this word. :smack: I apologize for my note in another thread and silently slink away…
It’s already been well documented that American banks are no longer willing (source: Wall Street Journal) to loan money to Donald Trump due to his pattern of strategically not paying his bills or repaying his debts when he thinks he can get away with it. And yet he’s managed to nearly double his debt load (source: Bloomberg) over the past year by borrowing a flurry of funds from overseas investors.
McCain chose Palin. He is one fly hair above a trump voter. He deserved a lot of flak for that.
If I remember correctly, pre-Palin, McCaine was mainly criticized on the board for walking back from his Maverick straight talk status and embracing the standard Republican Clap Trap. This was of course before the Party went off the deep end, back when we thought that GW Bush was the worst they had to offer.
Man, those were great days, huh? When we though Bush was the bottom of the barrel?
