Speaking of Mattis


I get where he believes in working with allies, but his thought that we shouldn't put our country first is absolutely wrong. It sounds like he's another proponent of globalism - a failed policy. WW2 showed that the US can be a strong ally, but only when we put the country first - it wasn't just our military might or our ability to supply fresh troops, but more our industrial might and national resolve. We didn't capitulate to Churchill's Europe first and Japan later; we had the resources and the determination to fight on two fronts - a strong ally, but with our own needs first.

My original defense of Mattis was not really him specifically as military leaders in general - they aren't timid, but they generally haven't been hawks looking for a war.
 
Assuming that public officials are held to the same standard, what would meet the elements for business defamation here? Would repeating the claim that Dominion's servers were seized in Germany be enough?
I’m not sure I understand your question.

Are you asking what statement would give dominion a cause of action?

I don’t think that one would because it’s too oblique and doesn’t seem to directly defame them. Honestly haven’t touched this stuff in years and the law school classes and bar review mostly focused on public figures. I’ll try to look it up at some point.
 
I thought he didn’t have any money because of all the bankruptcies.
That’s how he’s kept his money. Declaring bankruptcy, bilking contractors and “creative” tax returns. We’re about to find out more detail on item #3. Should be fun to watch him squirm. Now he’s added pleas for donations on the voter fraud fight to help pay campaign debts. Got to give him credit. He is creative when it comes to his con games.

Congress wrote the rules. People like Trump may have lobbied congress, and congress liked the bribes well enough to comply, but in the end congress wrote the bankruptcy law. Blame the rules makers not the people who used the bent rules.

I wonder if people who have such forgiveness for the developer who stiffed his contractors have the same level of forgiveness for the random guy who stiffed his credit card company and hospital bills.
