That said, the National Debt number I think is correct

(3,176 posts)Because Nazis are stupid and undiplomatic by definition.
It's what they are.
Delusion sustains itself through further delusion.
Fascism is wholly defined by delusional malevolence.
Reason is delusion's kryptonite.
Here's to reason's rule!!

(1,449 posts)Look, I don't like China's government and them wanting to take Taiwan. I also think they are deceitful and full of propaganda. However, that being said, they are not stupid either. If you are going to go after China, you better know what you are up against, especially when they probably know the US more than the US knows about them. China is one of the oldest civilizations, millennia before Communism ever became the current government. Like most in this administration, she is way out of her league. But again, when you put loyalty over people who know what they are doing, this is what happens. China is no fool. China is playing the long game. China probably can handle tariffs more than the US can. So it isn't really the flex the Trump administration thinks. The US is not as strong as it thinks it is. It was at one point, but it is no longer.

And before you get all bent out of shape, she deserves the moniker. Compare her pictures pre Trump and post Trump and youll see what Im getting at. Trump does freaky things to ones brain All of it is self inflicted. No one forced her.

(969 posts)And they know Trump has no clue what an impotent position he is in.
The "Art of the deal" guy went bankrupt 6 times, so it is pretty clear he has no idea how to read the table. The imbalance is so great that China is just laughing at him.
Gee, maybe we shouldn't have turned our whole system over to vulture capitalists and hedge fund crooks who were all too eager to hand everything to China for a quick buck. Trump doesn't understand it, but this battle was lost 10-15 years ago.
But even so, Trump has managed to find the worst possible response, as usual, making a bad situation 10X worse than it needs to be.

(33,747 posts)While I agree that Stefanik is a worthless idiot, I'm sure as hell not going to pat some Chinese state media mouthpiece on the back, just because he called the idiot an idiot. His own country isn't exactly honest about lots of things, including their overall population numbers, homeless numbers, and the number of COVID deaths in their country---where they were sealing in their apartments by the thousands. Mt. Chen is no better than that blonde twit with weird nose job who spews lies for Trump every day. He just does it for another dictator.

Option 2 is rather unpleasant, but given that the DoD is far more focused on DEI than national defense, expect the worst.
It's seriously a lot worse than 9/11 in terms of readiness. There basically is none at this point.
But they're owning the libs.
