My dear co-poster. You are definately doing a good job in giving factual charts, techical references etc to support your allegations. But you do remain a (good) technocrat. No offence please and if this upsets you, I appologize. But the reality I'm afraid is a bit different. If we were solely to abide by facts and figures, the iphone would never have existed !!!! Policy makers all r in governance, business... are surrounded by technocrats with facts and figures that can make sense, But one needs to think beyond the box if you wish to acheive innovation and progress. A bit beyond CNN or Fox maybe !!! But I fully understand for a Carthesian mind, creativity, innovation or common sense can have little meaning and thus the sole arguments stongly remain by the box or the book. My apologies if it makes you unconfortable, no hard feelings. But it's dinner time so kindly allow me to continue (or not) another day. Good night. 2 1 2 2

Did your "life" suddenly end last Friday? 15 of your 64 posts were made since then. A newby hitting the ground with standard MAGA BS is a red flag. However my main criteria for credibility is the use of credible, linked sources in support of facts. MAGA types don't do that very often. When was the last time you did that? 2 1 1

BS, and of course BS presented without a source. However I'm sure that there are many people in Europe who support Trump, just as there are many fascists in Europe. There may even be some overlap with the two groups. 2

Popular Post SunnyinBangrak Posted August 28, 2023 Popular Post Posted August 28, 2023 13 hours ago, placeholder said: First off, where is the evidence that any of this money came from the governments of China, Russia or Ukraine? Was it a crime to do business with companies located in China, Russia, or Ukraine? Because if it was, thousands of business people should now be occupying jail cells. In fact, the so called Russian payment came from an oligarch who fled Russia because of a dispute she had with the Russian govt. She's wanted for arrest by the Russian govt. She's lived in the UK since 2010. And that's where that payment came from. The companies CEFC and Burisma were effectively state controlled. "It has a rare contract to store part of the nation’s strategic oil reserve, gained financing from the state-owned China Development Bank (CDB) and has hired a number of former top officials from state-owned energy companies, CEFC officials said. It also has layers of Communist Party committees" across its subsidiaries – more than at many private Chinese companies." https://www.reuters.com/article/us-cefc-china-idUSKBN14X0B5 You can certainly see why the only option was to deny the payments were made, seeing as they(along with the web of 20 shell companies, and the frequent false denials of any of this having ever happened) are impossible to explain or justify. 1 1 2

Wasn't the CEO of this company ultimately jailed on corruption charges? 3

I would not be at all surprised to learn that a billionaire committed a crime or two along the way, but in Trump's case, living a very public life, are either buried so deep as not able to be found, or so minor as to not amounting to much. As I see it, his crime was exposing the Washington "swamp" ( in his words ) for all to see, and for that he will never be forgiven, IMO. Prior to his 2016 campaign probably everyone knew, but no one was prepared to use it against them. 1 4
