![Pro-democracy protesters take part in a Thanksgiving Day rally at Edinburgh Place on November 28, 2019 in Hong Kong, China. Protesters gathered to say thank you to the United States after US President Donald Trump signed legislation supporting the Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters, with new legislation requiring annual reviews of Hong Kong's rights and freedoms. Demonstrations in Hong Kong have stretched into their sixth month as pro-democracy groups won the recent District Council elections, continuing demands for an independent inquiry into police brutality, the retraction of the word "riot" to describe the rallies, and genuine universal suffrage.

Thousands of demonstrators in Hong Kong staged a Thanksgiving rally on Thursday evening in response to President Donald Trump signing two bills in support of the citys pro-democracy movement.
Demonstrators took to the streets shortly after the president signed the legislation. Some draped themselves in U.S. flags and expressed gratitude for the administrations support.
The rationale for us having this rally is to show our gratitude and thank the U.S Congress and also President Trump for passing the bill, student Sunny Cheung, 23, told Reuters. We are really grateful about that and we really appreciate the effort made by Americans who support Hong Kong, who stand with Hong Kong, who do not choose to side with Beijing.

Contrast the youth of Hong Kong praising America and American democracy while here American college students are doing the opposite.
Our educational system has been conquered by the Left. It was one of their stated goals and they have accomplished it in spades.

Wouldn’t that be something?

What’s in public doesn’t matter.
They’re both negotiating the same: hard-nosed.
Except that China pays tariffs while they negotiate.

There’s LOTS of degrees of concern.
Problem is people think it’s black or white.
We go to war on their side or not.
There’s a million points in between.
I think you know that.
I’ve read many of your posts. Too sharp to think there’s no in between.

Great catch!
51 stars / must mean they want statehood.
Unfortunately, Beijing probably not in favor...
They (HK) would have to secede first - Talk about ugly.

I know there’s lots of in-betweens. I’m just sick of us feeling that it’s our responsibility to have our hands all over the world, and to police so much of it. We have soldiers in almost every country in the world. Why?

Those flags will cause great embarrassment in China’s government.
They won’t put up with it.

Anything to screw over Chinas totalitarian chicoms is in our best interest. Any way we can make their day to day a living hell for all of the crap theyve pulled on us is exactly why I voted for PDJT.

I wonder if theyre saying they want Hong Kong to be a U.S. state. Maybe Hank Johnson could introduce a bill to have Hong Kong towed to just offshore of the West Coast.
