For all those who claim Hegseth isn't qualified, meet Leon Panetta.

[Nostra]

As a Major? Middle management at best.

Panetta was a Forst Leutenant

No, you did not.

yep I did.

President Trump amassed billions of dollars in a hugely successful real estate career, whereas Chimpy did absolutely nothing, accomplished nothing prior to being a candidate.

You really believe that, don’t you?

Trump had his wealth handed to him by his father.

He pissed it away on a Lomg series of spectacularly bad deals, defaults, litigation and unpaid bills.

By 2001, Trump had gone through his daddy’s money and his empire was once again , teetering on collapse.

He had a savior.

in the 1990’s Russian gangsters started laundering their cash through Trump’s casinos, keeping him temporarily afloat. Russian oligarchs also laundered their money by flipping condos in Trump buildings.

From 2000 on, every Trump deal was financed by Russian oligarchs, Russian controlled banks, and banks that aided Russian money laundering.
noe of this is news. A lot of it was right there on the business pages at each stage of Trump’s various crises,

A padded cell is too cushy for someone with such a craven
abuse of truth as yerself.I guess you find it cutesy.Like how
MSNBC chose their Hosts.S'not no mores.
The days and nights of a Woodrow Wilson are behind
us { having been resurrected by inflammatory Marxist and
Liars of the first order }.

Explain then how Trump managed to erect his fabulous
Trump Tower.Or even more mind-numbing his near TV
legendary successful - The Apprentice -.Running for over
a decade.It ran for 15 seasons on NBC { 2004-2017 }
Explain that ... Bubba Shlubs.?

There isn’t anything particularly fabulous about Trump Tower.

in many ways, it was an odd choice. F isthe Ave had not been a residential street for decades when Trump proposed a high rise condo there. it still isn’t a residential street (at least not above 34th Street).

His vertical enclosed mall, lined with luxury shops, gradually went down market and eventually failed,

The condo attracted money launderers, leaving many of the units vacant.

indeed, the Trump Tower was Trump’s entree into Russian money laundering.

SECRET MONEY: How Trump Made Millions Selling Condos To Unknown Buyers

A BuzzFeed News review of every sale of a Trump-branded condominium in the United States provides the first comprehensive look at how many went to unidentified buyers who paid cash, an indication of possible money laundering.

Funny how you don’t see ‘billionaires” doing cheesy reality TV.

He never made much money out of it. The earnings of reality TV are chump change to actual billionaires.

And you don’t see any of them stooping to such lowbrow baloney.

Praising Trump because of a cheap lowbrow “reality” is really pathetic.

So, since you can’t dispute facts, you serve up stupidity,

BTW, the “fabulous” Trump Tower is ten stories shorter than your beloved fuhrer says it is. Just another Trump lie!

More Russia...Russia...Russia, Tim? Fred Trump was a successful real estate developer but his wealth PALES in comparison to what his son did! Claiming Donald Trump frittered away the Trump wealth is laughably inaccurate. He took a huge hit during the real estate crash that hit most other developers. He took that hit and rebounded from it to become a global success.

Nothing wrong with fresh eyes, fresh perspective, no preconceived notions about how things 'have to be done', it's the entire concept our country was born out of, it's what we need right now to get out of the mess we're in.

All of DC needs flushed down the toilet, they've done nothing but run up massive and unsustainable debt and we've been complacent for far too long.

The expression "Be careful what you wish for" comes to mind.

 

[alang1216]

What rank did you achieve, what creds do you have to make such a decision?

I've worked with plenty of military of all ranks and the skill sets are generally very different.

Are you just being argumentative or do you really believe I'm wrong?

 

[alang1216]

Panetta was a Forst Leutenant

Who ran a two multi-billion dollar organizations, OMB and CIA. What did Hegseth run?

The facts say otherwise.

Trump filed for bankruptcy on a fairly regular basis, because of his disastrously bad deals.

His record of cheating subcontractors and business partners is long and well documented.

He bankruptcies and defaults are also well documented,

He spent most of thec1990’s either in bankruptcy or on the verge of it.

He defaulted on many of his most conspicuous deals.

He frittered away the substantial equity his father had built up by the time Fred died Trump tried to have him declared incompetent so he could get his hands on the last of the assets.

No bank in New York will lend on a Trump deal. That has been true for 30 years.

His financing all comes from Russians. They have owned him for years,

It’s pretty easy to document.

I already noted part of the money laundering.

You can whine”russia,Russia,Russia” all you want.

But you can’t make the facts go away.

Trump has filed for bankruptcy 10 times, Tim. That's 10 times with over 500 business ventures started by Trump! Do you have any idea how incredibly hard it is to have that high a rate of success when you're starting new businesses?

As for your claim that all of his financing comes from Russians? It's laughably false! Deutsche Bank...the bank that Trump supposedly defrauded? It's German. It's German and it's officers testified under oath that not only were they happy with the loan agreement and repayment but that they would be happy to loan him more money!

I'm amused you even have to ask. Does the SecDef lead men into battle or goes before Congress to do his job.
