Although it seems to be the same playbook as used by Trump - which so far has worked well for him. Deny deny deny and say you're the very best.

- sophacles 8y agoBoeing safety is a political issue: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.businessinsider.com/boeing-ceo-called-president-trump-after-737-max-8-disaster-ny-times-2019-3 https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.businessinsider.com/boeing-... If a company tries (temporarily successfully) to use political connections to respond to safety issues, it's fair to bring that up in light of related safety issues.
- fallous 7y agoWhich of course has nothing to do with the actual political message in the original comment to which vondur was responding. Had that comment made any reference to a relationship between Boeing and a particular politician, or political group, it would indeed be fair to bring that to light.
- javert 7y agoThat statement wasn't political, and it has everything to do with the topic being discussed. It wasn't political because Trump's "style" is a fact recognized by partisans on both sides; they just judge it differently. I can't even tell if OP is for or against. It has to do with the topic because it's an observation of the same underlying trend: that lying is becoming a standard and accepted behavior in America. People are no longer punished for lying, so they are doing it more and more.
