You don't understand a thing about any of this and refuse to look, actually LOOK at the facts!
DPW was going to make our terminals more proficient and they were going to use THEIR OWN MONEY to do so!
They weren't "shaking us down", nor was it anything even remotely like a criminal protection racket; that would be our very own, home grown LONGSHOREMENS' UNION!
Those are good words, considering we can't use the ones we're really thinking :o)
Well, that sounds like a job that one of the Clintons could handle.
That's NOT what he said at all. Learn how to read...or at least take a reading comprehension class.
Re US ownership of key and strategic assets.
First we blocked the Chinese purchase of a US oil company. Now we have blocked UAE on the ports deal. Congress is talking about requiring US ownership of all US port activities.
Should we be worried about "flags of convenience" whereby many of the ships going in and out of our ports fly with a Liberian or Panamanian flag? Can anyone explain why we should not be concerned about this situation? Ever hear of the "Black Tom" explosion?
"I'm genuinely curious to know what steps the President took to "sell" this deal to the American people."
So, now we live in a worold we're no one is obligated to inform themselves about an issue as important and far reaching as this?

He also did NOT manage Iran/Contra well at all.
LOL, we're trying to figure out the swarm tactics that have been used here the last couple of years and are being used more and more frequently lately.
An excellent post.
Ya beat me to it! I was just about to post that.
Is your memory really that bad?
I'm all basketballed out.......and need to rest up for tomorrow.
Yeah...score one for idiots, who don't understand anything at all about this, but who were more than willing to swallow Chuckles Schumer's lies and propaganda.
OLD FREEPERS DO.
In the last few years, a lot of people have joined just to disrupt.
Neither one of them seem intelligent enough. They are only faces that you see. The smart people you never see. And I believe it's a third country.
