US issues travel advisory for Hong Kong - RTHK

“I was confident Donald Trump would sign the law because we are fighting for universal freedom. Everyone globally should support that,” another young woman told the news outlet. “But we do want to give thanks to those around the globe that support us, a small city like Hong Kong, we thank them for their attention.”

Expect Lebron to issue a statement for the NBA saying the President should stay out of issues that he doesn’t understand, while also stating that Thanksgiving Day is a racist holiday.

Beautiful display...President Trump, we should give China the NBA in exchange for Hong Kong. It would be a Win Win...

Unlike the former First Wookie those Hong Kong citizens KNOW what that flag stands for.

Take THAT Michelle “all that for a piece of cloth” Obama.

Some of the protesters have been (like) Antifa and others definitely not. Complicated situation.

Utterly amazing that the House took time to pass a bill to do some good in the world. Normally, they’d be busy with impeachment or something else equally horrendous. But thinking they could embarrass Trump in the middle of negotiations with the PRC, they passed a bill they were sure he’d veto. And he signed it. D’oh!

President Reagan took down the Soviet Union. Could President Trump take down Communist China?

It seems to me that there are many truly admirable people living in Hong Kong. I'd bet that they would make fine US citizens. There's no future for anyone of that caliber in a place like Hong Kong.

[A proposed law passed by Congress must be presented to the president, who then has 10 days to approve or disapprove it. The president signs bills he supports, making them law. He vetoes a bill by returning it to the house in which it began, usually with a written message. Normally, bills he neither signs nor vetoes within 10 days become law without his signature.]


This bill would have become law even without Trump’s signature. But the Donald signed it anyway, to send a message. And that message is not not a friendly one, to the Communist Party.

Xi Jinping is pissed because this is a big “!@#$ you” to him. Trump is playing the same game with Xi as he did with Putin - saying nice things about in public, while whaling on him with everything he does.

We are so blessed to have Donald Trump as our President! Makes Thanksgiving all the more meaningful when you’re not so worried about the future as we were prior to January 20, 2017!
