I'm not going to bother trying to validate these but it does look like Trump's hands are not clean of Chinese influence either.

No, that is mythology. His enterprises went several times bancrupt, and he was sued for not paying bills and for fraudulent business practices sevefal hundred times. He bought himself out of this when becoming president. His Daddy had to rescue his business activities repeatedly. He is as much a big businessman as he is a great president, a great deal maker, a great man. He is an imposter and a blender.

Probably after China so he can default on another debt. Of course, he's just pulling their chain for laughs.

Did Hunter Biden resign from his Chinese company board seats yet or is it considered just a leave of absence until his daddy gets into the oval office?

And what about Trump's interests August? No comment? Pay no attention to the man behind the screen? Oh, look over there I see a shiny thing!

What?, is the next riot, er I mean peaceful protest starting? That can't be Antifa I see, the House Democrats assure us they don't even exist!

So you can't, or won't, answer the question then. Not surprising given there isn't an answer that leaves Trump looking like he has the high ground when business interests in China are concerned. Just more deflection and yelling louder.

We were talking about Senator Feinstein. Excuse me if I don't fall for your "yeah but what about" game.

After I had closed down my computer I suddenly remembered when this Danish journalist said these things.

It was after Trump had withdrawn USA from this Iran deal.

I made a search to find out how many times Trump companies went bankruptcy

"Although Trump has never filed for personal bankruptcy, hotels and casino businesses of his have declared bankruptcy six times between 1991 and 2009 due to its inability to meet required payments and to re-negotiate debt with banks, owners of stock and bonds and various small businesses (unsecured creditors)."

Problem with mail-in voting no one is saying much about

By
M. Dowling -

August 2, 2020

The biggest problem with mail-in voting that so many seem to ignore is staring people in the face. President Trump has raised the issue only to be accused of undermining the election. That’s the only context the media seems to think is important.
The results from mail-in voting come in slowly and that undermines the election. It is especially slow and inaccurate when combined with the endless process of ballot harvesting. In a close race, it could take months or longer to determine the winner.
Iowa changed its system of voting in February and it’s still undecidedNothing on the New York Primary yet and that was by mail-in voting. Thousands of votes remain uncounted due to technicalities. The technicalities include a lot of invalid ballots.
Congressional candidate Suraj Patel, who had been waiting weeks to find out the results of his race against U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, said thousands of ballots were not counted.
“We know that nearly 25 percent of people who actually went through the trouble of requesting a ballot, getting it, voting and dropping it in the mail will not have their ballots counted,” Patel told CBS2.
Patel, who did not prevail in the race, said the absentee voting process needs reform.
As many as 20% of New York City absentee ballots cast in the primary have been disqualified, the Daily News reported.
Ballot invalidation contributed to the long wait for results in the Maloney-Patel race for the 12th Congressional District, McEnany said.
New York is not the only state to experience mail-in ballot problems, NPR reported.
More than 65,000 primary ballots have been rejected this year due to late arrival, and that number could be much higher in the Nov. 3 general election.
Who could trust the results of such an election?
Is that really appropriate for a U.S. presidential election? Are we a bona fide Banana Republic now? We laughed at elections in Russia and Afghanistan but they can laugh at us now.

It is quite easy, if Trump wins it was all done correctly, if he loses it was a fraud

And no one brings this up but Trump because he is afraid to lose.

Maybe that Biden is not fit for the "job", but if there ever was a test about being fit for becoming US president (apart from having enough money to put up for the election show), i'd like to see it.

Who will the democrats blame if Trump wins by a landslide

Catfish · 08-02-20, 03:23 PM

Who in the US, the whole world and elsewhere would understand that? No one even understands 2016 already.

No you don't play them but you sure start them, light the fuse and runaway so you avoid the hard questions.

Apparently having large business interests in China is only wrong if you're a democratic politician.
