    Read all of those articles and find one shred of proof that anyone investigated the Bidens and Burisma. Just quote one paragraph.

    Ahh, how compelling...since I won't play your little game, you're now relegated to insulting me. ...again, very compelling.

    And no, I won't cite a biblical passage to return the favor...but I will "pray for you".

    Their national prosecutor said he cleared Hunter of anything illegal.
    What Hunter did is practically a national pastime in that country for big companies. Something Hunter should have never done. Not illegal but shady for Burisma.

    Umm, no, I'm not...but you're welcome to spin again.

    Don't know what your problem is with me and frankly don't care, but again, I won't play your game just for your entertainment.

    I'm sure it does but not to the extent that Ukraine does it.

    I do remember Boeing hiring a retired General to help them get military contracts. We lost a huge one and they fired the General whom they considered feckless.

    Speaking of Boeing, I remember when I was tasked with organizing files of producibility reports, one for each manager. We were contractually obligated to do producibility and to document it with these reports. Producibility is simply working on improving the cost of production, the schedule or the quality of the product. So I kept getting the run around from this one manager who simply wasn't going to do anything to justify our receipt of Air Force funds for doing producibility studies and documenting it. I would go into his office day after day seeking something to keep us from an Air Force lawsuit. Finally, he throws me out of his office. I reported this to my boss and he reported it to his boss and the next higher boss but they refused to do anything. It was very soon after that that I left the military side of the house and moved upt to Everett to build Jumbo jets. Fuck that shit. I should have become a whistle blower. I'm not sure if they had a whistle blower law at that time. It was somewhere around 1987.

    Like I said, it was shady but legal. You wave lots of money at people and they often can't resist.
    Again, Hunter never should have fallen into that tar pit but no laws were broken and certainly no laws were even remotely broken when Joe Biden lobbied for the removal of that thoroughly corrupt national prosecutor, Shokin.

    Yup, speaking of Boeing, did you see where their Starliner was just launched but failed

    Needless to say, it has not been one of Boeing's better years.

    Boeing bought out McDonnell-Douglas after I left the company. Now, I've heard that some of the McDonnell-Douglas brass has a different take on quality that the old Boeing airplane hierarchy and they lobbied for a quicker solution to Boeing's 737 Max balance problem. Now this imbalance was solved by software that adjusted for an unnatural pitch up in flight. The pitch was caused by the lengthening of a 737 to make it a 737 Max which necessitated the relocating of the engines a little farther back. This pitch was corrected by The software was rushed through. Boeing engineers would never have allowed anything that wasn't as safe as possible. Remember, it was the DC 10 that had those fatal crashes.
    I've worked on the factory floor providing direction to the various workmen. I guess I've worked on just about every part of the 747 and 757 and was involved at the upper management level on the producibility of the 747, 757 and the 747 which wasn't in production yet but they wanted to get ready. I can tell you for a fact that they used to build the safest planes in the world.

    Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

    I wish with all my might that they could get back to being the excellent company that they were.
