"We discussed this issue about the mineral rights, and we explained to them, look, we want to be in a joint venture with you — not because we’re trying to steal from your country, but because we think that’s actually a security guarantee," Rubio explained to Canadian journalist Catherine Herridge.


This is gonna sound like I'm being provocative, but I mean it when I say that the above quote sounds exactly like Mafioso talking to a shopkeeper when talking about "providing Protection".

Only thing missing is what the interest rate will be...HA!

Anyone who knows the real guy's business history behind the Art Of The Deal also knows how he got 90 or 100% discounts when contractors fulfilled their ends of the contract to build/remodel places like Atlantic City Casinos and were looking for payment.

They bought the story of how much the job would change their lives and basically threw all resources into working for Trump's project (thus taking no other customers) which put them in the position to be told "I'll give you 10%, NOW, but not later".

When they would threaten to sue, they were told, correctly, that they didn't have the resources to make it worth the ungodly expense it would take to chase him endlessly through the courts

Most of them never recovered from the "opportunity. It just feels the same as that.

I expect one who signs a contract to honor it or they should be deemed untrustworthy going forward.
His motivation was not to be a smart and thrifty businessman, I've dealt with many businessmen/women of honor.
He has a different gear that drives him to consider everyone, and I mean EVERYone, a sucker as taught by his father.

I wrote about different lessons learned from my father recently. You may have missed it.

edit: I'd like to add that the biz characteristics you are admiring are fine with me as well...when they are negotiated upfront prior to entering into a legal agreement. Those skills are smart, and admirable in the marketplace we support.

To make changes after one party completes their end of the deal has many other words and names that come to mind. I can't believe someone presenting themself as moral would consider that tactic anything less than...immoral? disgusting, cheating?

I'm certain you'd have words after being conned that aren't complimentary.

Serious question: You think Frank wants to ride the Trump horse to the promised land?

Trump was already president. It wasn't that great. I've mentioned several specific, big, things over the last few weeks so no need to🐴 but if Joe Sanostra did that same stuff Republicans would be losing their minds.

I never understood why people "forget" everything when their team wins.

pay attention.

Robert and I are able to find issues in which we are of one mind.

Yet we are both very aware of how different our inner cores are...but we don't speak for the other, we listen.

Sometimes that finds unity, more often we'd disagree,.. with respect and dignity. I respect that he lives what he talks (walks the walk?) and in return he respects that I get/accept him...even if he is wrong all the time!!!

except this time!

HA!!!

If we're pretending that there are elections & pretending that the "buck stops" with the president, then Trump destroyed this country in 2020--the Sanostra admin dressed in drag and threw gas on the fire.

Imagine for a sec that Joe Sanostra shut the entire country down bc of the flu. Would you ever trust that guy again? Warp Speed?


I thought you were talking about Trumps complete support of Israel with the "promised land" wording, bc there's a list a mile long that wasn't good for America, or America first, during Trumps 1st admin.

Dignity?

That's laughable on definition of the word. YOU have a viewpoint politically motivated that needs to be rammed down.

Robert can read a book and knows how to research. You, we're all still waiting.

Warp Speed...he has a very deep interview where he states (and look it up because I'm paraphrasing! LORD, Lefty will put ME on a cross if I don't get close!) that he didn't believe Fauci but if he fired him then the media, world and everybody in-between would castigate him for all of the mess! He was stuck with the "Angel of Death" Mengele lite. The media painted him into a corner. Our boy knows better now. He didn't listen to the party faithful this time. They will go down with Fauci and Pedo Joe. That's inevitable.

you refuse to accept it.

It's not your handle that causes so many to ask if you have anger issues. No one is confused by it yet it is interesting how many times you've felt the need to explain it.

It's your behavior toward others.

MCFA...

absolutely no one ever would have heard of Fauci and Dr. Blinkyeyes if Trump had not proudly displayed them day after day on afternoon TV briefings to make everyone believe he could beat a virus.

No, wait. They must have conned him. Right. That's the ticket.
