"He's taking(according to some on FR) dirty money isn't he "

Nobody's talking about "dirty money" here, Dane. We're talking about a company owned by a Muslim country buying out P & O, and an executive of that company getting an appointment that oversees the very thing that company is going to be involved with in the USA.

Money is money. That's not the issue here. You seem to have a difficult time understanding people's concern about this.

We don't care about the money at all. We care about a company owned by a Muslim govenment acquiring large, sensitive holdings in this country and having one of their executives appointed to a near-cabinet-level position.

Tiger Woods is a golfer. He administers nothing of interest to national security. Nobody cares who pays him. Nobody cares about Tiger Woods at all.

Don't be dense.

Did you read the link in reply #80.

I can understand your qualms, but I can't understand people jumping on the hillary/schumer bandwagon, with their lies that they are taking over the ports, when a tiny bit of research will show they are not and that DHS is responsible for allsecurtiy, not DPWorld.

Heck I would be more concerned if a French company bought P&O, given their backstabbing ways.

This is akin to the Chewbacca Defense:

"Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookie, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does NOT MAKE SENSE! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does NOT MAKE SENSE! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, [approaches and softens] does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does NOT MAKE SENSE!

If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests. "


It's just a matter of trading one red herring for another.
