The Next President of the United States: III

Please show my ANY highly successful businessman who is not constantly involved in litigation. There is a very good reason most large companies employ in-house council.

Hell our company is less than 10 people and we spent well north of 100K in legal fees over the last 5 years.

Our society is highly litigious.

Saying a person should not be president because he is involved on both sides of many lawsuits is like saying a lawyer cannot be elected to congress.

He doesn’t look so bad, unfortunately I am sure Donald Duck will win the nod from his wins in California. Some of the polls here have him crushing it.

Johnson is seeking the Libertarian party nomination Max, fuck Trump.

The only reason I even defend him is the level of crazy liberals get in looking to attack him. Meanwhile, totally ignoring the dumpster fire that is their party’s contribution to this BBQ.

NY has had to get court ordered liens put on his propertu at least 12 times and he’s lost a lawsuit to the DOJ for anti-trust violations. That’s not even discussing Tump U.

This isn’t just frivolous litigation here.

Not like this. Trump is notorious for frivolous lawsuits and not paying people what they’re owed, thus requiring them to sue him merely to make good on the commercial transaction.

It’s a sleazy tactic, one that normal people would find disgusting, and one that hurts the little guy and enriches tall building lawyers. Precisely the kind of move the privileged and well-connected would do to protect their interests. But hey, he’s a total populist, right?

And even others who are not liberal :smile:

If you can quote me saying this anyplace and anytime…I will buy you dinner at your favorite restaurant.

Too much of the time on this forum, words are being put into mouths that never uttered such things.

I would like to think we are better than that.

Sorry for the confusion, I phrased that poorly - I meant that question rhetorically, not challenging a claim you had personally made.

I never thought you meant that of me, simply saying that when somebody says something thing and others assume that is what he is saying…it is repeated ad nauseum as spoken fact, when it is not.

Barack Obama has suspended immigration from Venezuela

Better?

No it’s not.

The President didn’t “suspend immigration from Venezuela”.

The order is preventing the movement into the U.S. of those individuals PROVEN to be responsible for “ordering, controlling and/or directing” of the unrest and instability there.

In practical terms I would guess you’re going to have a tough time coming to America if you are a Venezuelan national.

I guess it all depends on your definition of what “Is” is.

As I understand from a Venezuelan friend of mine who moved to Florida, many educated Venezuelans fled to Florida after the Chavez 1999 coup.

Now they are extremely pissed off that Chavez/Maduro regime cronies and “revolutionaries” who regularly denounce “US imperialism” in Venezuela are buying luxury real estate around Miami and this bill is allegedly an attempt to address that.

It’s no laughing matter. I have several friends from Venezuela (even dated a girl from Caracas) and have been to the country in early 2000s. All the people I know from there are smart, cool and educated (they had the best educational system in South America before Chavez)

Their country was taken over by a semi literate imbecile (Chavez) in a military coup, who proceeded to destroy the country with retarded socialist policies while robbing the country blind (his daughters are worth more that US$ 2 billion). He maintained his power by handouts and subsidies to the lowest classes while pillaging the lucrative industry sector.

Many normal, ordinary people are caught up in what is actually a dystopia - their society is literally collapsing.

It’s easy being smug from afar, but if you couldn’t feed your family three meals a day, didn’t have access to basics such as electricity, running water or medicine and if you witnessed violence, theft and murder on a daily basis you’d act unpredictably and violent.
