This isnt about muh fee fees. I get that this situation is really precarious and you have to finesse every move on this one, even being coy and diplomatic.

I’m not a 13 year old girl, So I’ll live with the language.

Fair enough - it’s your life.

May your chains set lightly upon you.

*rolleyes*

Yeah, ok. That was the most awkward ripping off of Sam Adams words, but I’ll be fine.

I expect you will be ‘fine’. There is no ill will on my part toward you, believe me.

The difference in the way we view rhetoric from politicians reflects our different personalities and individual leanings, that’s all. As they say, ‘if everyone was exactly the same it would be a very boring world.’.

Incidentally, that is such a famous line by Adams (for patriots at least) I figured you would recognize it right away. And as such, no further explanation would be needed.

Hopefully there is no animosity on your part as well.

Have a good evening VanDeKoik.

Couldn’t agree more. Don’t back an enemy up against the sea. Ever.

All you anti American Free Traitors#153 should be real proud right now. When Xi farts your ears flap.

It is surprising that “investors” are the strong arm of Chinese globalist policy. A $30B anything should have never caused the ruckus the bull shit sell off of Trillions caused. I hope everyone is real proud. I am not.

No it’s a back down

We would say this if it was any other president than Trump.

He blinked.

I don’t worship anybody but God and so I am not afraid to say what I think about any human.

He ####ing blinked.

While they still wont buy our foodstuffs.

There will ALWAYS be a reason to blink and once you do it, you will do it again and you show weakness.

Go ahead, attack.

Ok?

I’m not going to waste too much time replying to a classic cliched popping-off “if it is 100% what I want, therefore F you, you betrayer” FR troll post.

It get annoying having to debate one-dimensional people, with one dimensional demands of people like Trump.This is just WWE entertainment for some of the rubes that post here, so you aren’t remotely curious beyond the point of this hayseed idea of “do X or ya blinked”.

So have a swig of your beer and go cry into the corner.

I care about fair trade practices and this is the best time to hurt them with the tariffs because the next 90 days will see a huge amount of freight shipping to the US from China.
