I am so sorry that your development company was put out of business because you could not compete in the business world. Your relationship with Mr Trump must have been very disappointing for you to have this grudge so long. Perhaps the hundreds of projects that he has done, and the thousands of people he has employed are all wrong. Maybe you should vote democrat. Maybe vote for Bernie (He gives everything for free). Better yet, do your developments where everybody wins, like N Korea or China.

Yes but not until the investors filed a lawsuit for fraud and the developers decided it was wiser to settle out of court instead of fighting the fraud claim.

Similar charges of fraud existed with Tampa and Ft. Lauderdale projects, and Trump University.

I guess it's my time to bow out of BajaNomad. It has morphed beyond recognition, to a childish, hateful facebook page with little reference remaining to Doug's original intent....a site for Baja information.
I've had a good run here.....met a bunch of decent, respectable Baja folks, and learned a lot. Hopefully my submissions have added to other's experiences as well.
Truthfully...I don't know why Doug continues to host this new regime who have very little to add to anyone's Baja experience.

David K...bless his bullet-proof heart has continued to give assistance, in spite of having been sniped at, ambushed, and pretty much disrespected here for more years than I can recall. Someday....he'll see the light and clear himself out of the swamp that Nomad has become. Nothing like it used to be, and I'm done with it all.

I make this statement, that some of you will rant as grand-standing, but that's wrong. I do this to thank Doug Means for his patience here with my past, and to wish him, and his, the best of all future endeavors... You, Doug, deserve all of it.
Say hi to Ryland and Michelle. It's a small world and we'll see each other again.

Now...the rest of you losers can go back to throwing your feces at one another like a bunch of useless monkeys.

Thank you Dennis, but please don't let 'them' win.

I get many private messages thanking me for hanging in here. There are so many hundreds who enjoy this site, but they are either not posting or not even registered, pure lurkers. It is for them and the few 'good' Nomads who want this to remain a place to exchange travel details, Baja photos, history, and maybe a little friendship.

The occasional political stuff would not be bad if the other side could allow a little 'equal time' for us to counter their 'wacky' views and ideas (lol)!

Sadly, free exchange of ideas (free speech) is not something they have a concept of. It's got to be their way or the highway, and they will destroy a thread to tarnish any attempt to have another point-of-view posted with name calling and personal attacks.

That being the case, Doug really needs moderating help and all political discussion erased... all.

Jeez guys, I feel responsible for DENNIS's last post. Prior to my post he made one saying:

"All of the investors were reimbursed to their satisfaction...plus.
Do some homework before ya'll jack yourselves off and into a frenzy."

He then made another post with a link to LA Times article. I read that and another (doing my homework as directed) and simply posted what the second article said, with a link.

No name calling, no personal attacks, no disparaging remarks at all about anything.

Did I cause all this vitriol?

"their 'wacky' views and ideas (lol)" DK

Grizzlyfish, the company my husband works for was too smart to deal with Trump - it is just the observations of the construction/development industry that Trump has damaging business practices. Trump hurts more people than he helps - if that was not the case he would not have failed and filed for bankruptcy so many times (and of course turned to the Russians for financing - lol they OWN him!!). He is a disgrace to our country, I am so sorry for you that you see him as anything but the misogynist racist idiotic failure at everything (including marriage) he is.

-----and some wonder why Dennis is disgusted??? This is an example of why! Such vitriol, mostly based on skewed information by people that apparently have no idea what really is going on, has gone on before, and that hate other's that have a different opinion. I have considered leaving the board myself, but find that the few that do provide valuable and interesting information on Baja California are worth staying to listen too. I mostly just pass over the hate.

Barry, she just expressed her opinion of Donald Trump. She did not insult any Bajanomad. Nor did she insult people who maintain any particular political stance.

All presidents have their detractors. Clinton, Bush, Obama all got blasted daily by their opposition.

A sign f intelligence is being able to consider alternative views from your own. Being calm and thoughtful, patient, doing your research, understanding your own bias, being aware of trends in mass communication and programming and being kind to others regardless of your point or their point of view.

Here on Baja Nomads there exist a quintessential example of ignorance, groupthink, arrogance, and in general rude behavior.

It has been this way for a very long time.

Many have wondered why?

Could it be that that the average age is quite high, likely average posters age is in their 70's. Seniors are often stuck in their mindset, suffer from deterioration of brain power, and perhaps poor nutrition?

What is the point of hosting a hot bed of ignorant, arrogant, rude, low IQ, insulting, biased, unintelligent idiots? Perhaps there are a few kind souls trying to help, like Dennis?

Goodness, that's some serious stereotyping there! In my 73 years I have not found either ignorance or open mindedness to be age related. There may be, however, some slight increase in general grumpiness but that would not apply to me no matter what my kids say.
