When you don't do your homework, educate yourself, follow the guidelines of those who preceded you because you think you are so smart you don't need to so you keep failing because you start with the endgame and have nowhere to go. Repeatedly. Not very wise.

The company in China he wants to save manufactures phones that were sold in America programmed for espionage/spying. It has been banned but that don't make no never mind to him. He wants the company to succeed. ZTE is the name of the Chinese company! He wants it to come back to life and bring back all those jobs China lost because of the ban. He said so. Your prez. Ain't he sumthin'? Traitor you say? No way. He is just an ordinary American businessman looking out for number which is himself. It is the American way. That is what capitalism is all about. So you sell your country out? So what? As long as you make a killing, right? SIGH. less

Mueller already has multiple answers to all the questions from other players who have flipped and spilled their guts. He just wants to see how much a liar the don will be when under oath. Either way Mueller has everything he needs right now. Catching don juan in one of his compulsive lies is just icing on a very tasty already baked cake. Is RudyG really that naive/uninformed/vacuous/vacant/blank?

Kim has used that as an excuse to have cancelled his meeting with the president of South Korea right before it was to take place. He also said that if the meeting with US is predicated on denuclearization we should fuggeddaboutit! I thought Kim was being a bit too docile. It seems that once again don juan has no clue with whom he is dealing nor does the new Secretary of State who met with Kim TWICE and thought everything was hunky dorry. Sorry boys! You read him wrong. It isn't gonna be the piece of cake you thought it would be. Too much arrogance going in to something that was far too delicate/complicated for the likes of you. Try again? This time with some modesty and humility. Let's see what Kim comes up with next that frustrates the don juan. Place yer bets. Kim or don? Which one is the tail and which one is the dog? less

Doesn't it make sense to extend a helping hand to others so that if you need a helping hand they will be more apt to extend theirs? Is working together mutually beneficially and fighting one another mutually destructive? Isn't that just plain old common sense? If not what is it?

By good I mean respectful, kind, good, honest, caring. I don't understand why striving to be "good" has anything to do with a God or a religion. Why aren't such attributes intrinsically valuable qualities on their own?
