Next they’ll stop going number two.

That will show us who’s boss!

I don’t see how it’s a win.

But aside from that, she did it, as usual, for personal reasons, since her husband’s “lucky” chip deal and, thanks to the laptop, Hunter and Daddy’s lucrative deals that involve both China and Ukraine are getting a little attention now, despite Dem efforts to shut them down.

So what better thing to do than tease WWIII as a distraction?

As has been pointed out, Congressional players have been
showing up in Taiwan for 40 years. China never had a hissy
fit about it before now.

China was looking for a reason. This was it. It’s total
nonsense, but now they are blaming us for what they had
intended to do all along.

Look, Pelosi is a disgusting human being, if it can be
proven she actually is one.

She went. China didn’t shoot down her plane. I don’t
care if she went. I’m glad she didn’t make it appear
China could dictate our actions.

China was looking for a reason.

Because that is precisely what the DNC wants them to do. One of the big points Trump had over them was on the issue of China. Now they get to look like the ones who are tough on China. It's election year BS.

At the top of their pyramid, I think there are knowing traitors who privately are more loyal to a new global order, and consider a free and sovereign American superpower their last great obstacle.

Down the pyramid you get a variety of woke “useful idiots” etc.

I agree with that.

I don’t think she scored any points. The idiots on the Left
were going to vote for her come hell or high water anyway.

Not one person other than Dick and Liz Cheney will be
switching their votes over this, but then I digress.

And brain-addled Joe Biden is clueless. Kamella is no better. This is why elections matter!

I read that Cleese and the rest of Monty Python were trained at Cambridge. Their stunt, The Argument Clinic, featured the textbook definition of an argument (in the sense of well-reasoned argument. i.e not bluster...)

Good demonstration video of Woke American military vs. China and Russia militaries. The narrator sounds Australian. I laughed at his comments, but he is not far from wrong on how our military is a social experiment.

Yes...I respect him for that, but I admit all the time, I fail to understand how people can be against something like the woke agenda but for other things that the woke agenda is a clear product of.

Dang. I simply cannot noodle this out sometimes.

But no matter-John Cleese still can make me forget his politics...and that doesn’t happen to me with all entertainers.

“ It took a pandemic to discover that almost all our antibiotics, for example, came from China.”

People could easily live without most of the consumer products imported from China. Not so with antibiotics. By not doing something to promote producing these life saving meds in the USA, Congress shows once again how little it cares for the average American.

Ditto offshoring most of our critical semi-conductors and microchips to Taiwan, given that Taiwan can be blockaded at any time of China’s choosing.

Lack of chips is why we can’t finish cars for delivery even now.

Just wait until Taiwan is blockaded from exporting.
