re: #59 Obdicut

It would involve condemning his stupid birtherism, pointing out that all of his conservative opinions are of incredibly recent provenance, and asking why the hell a man who’s bankrupted so many companies is seen as at all a viable candidate.

All of that has been done. Karl Rove and many other conservatives have pointed out that he is not a real conservative, and said in very clear language that the Birther stuff is nonsense.

However being civil to someone is not the same thing as kinda agreeing with them. It is ok, in polite society, to just say you disagree without being insulting.

By the way declaring “bankruptcy” or Chapter 11 is not a big deal. It just means getting a chance to reorganize.

It has never happened to me, but it has happened to many companies over the years, where they come out of it, pay all their debts and continue to do business.

Not defending the Birther crap, but when his real estate holdings had dropped in value and the banks were giving him a hard time, he had a lot of cashflow and was able to hang on.

It is a funny story that when he wanted to borrow money for his Atlantic City casino hotel from his dad, he was not allowed due to some legal issues his dad had gone through. So the solution was for his father to walk in and buy millions in chips and just not use them.
