The only reason anyone would oppose that deal is that it was portrayed falsely. No ports were at stake.

I with-held my own judgment on the deal for several days until I could find out what it was really about because, quite frankly, I didn't think $1 billion was nearly enough to purchase the Port of New York (per AP articles, Chucky Schumer, et al etc ad nauseum). In fact, given the number of terminals and other infrastructure within the Port of New York, I'd suggest $1 trillion probably couldn't replace it.

When a deal looks too good to be true, it probably isn't.

So if 70% of the American people think you can buy 6 major American ports for $1 billion, I have some really great sounding, but utterly phoney insurance policies to sell them.

I gather I could have started in the FOX newsroom.

Do you think those of us who oppose this deal haven't already heard your arguments and considered them? Does it make you feel more intelligent to keep repeating yourself and then accusing us of racism? Do you realize that 17% of the public supports you? And do you realize this deal is over now and it's time to discuss other things? But my point in coming on this thread was to address a lie by by the poster. You understand that? Debate all you want, but don't lie about somebody - which is what the putz did.
