Update on Pelosi:
Her itinerary now omits Taiwan for her Asia visit. Trump had already changed tunes like the wind on this too claiming her visiting would only sew chaos.

Trump doesn’t stand for anything. He’s just there to be a troll.
It’s actually becoming sad.

You know fox will turn in a heartbeat and worship him at the first indication of his resurgence. I wouldn't underestimate him - he uses inflammatory rhetoric that causes anger and frustration amongst his base - real or perceived - which unfortunately is very effective in an increasing dumbening and aggrieved sector of the populace which wields high power in the electoral college. He has a stranglehold on the R party base until proven otherwise. DeSantis,etc will quickly bow out and kiss the ring if that's the will of their base no matter right or wrong. They always come home and root for their team. Like lA8 said, anyone but Democrats - that's exactly how they think. No matter moral immoral right wrong racist bigoted etc. They don't care. The D brand is toxic amongst them - thats the indoctrination. That's where Ds have failed in their messaging.

www.cnn.com/2022/08/01/politics/nancy-pelosi-taiwan-visit/index.htmlTaiwan not listed in official itinerary of Singapore Japan S Korea Malaysia but a stop in Taiwan is expected. I don't get this. Why poke at the beast? China is leaving Taiwan alone as status quo but these diotic Democrats want to ruffle the feathers. Just like NATO inching closer to Russia. Hard not to believe that the war profiteering machine that seems to own D's more than Rs lately is not behind this.

Chinese media today announcing that China should “shoot down Nancy Pelosi’s plane.” To my knowledge, never have I seen a Chinese publication suggest anything like this in the past. That's about as close to an act of war as we've had involving China. Scary stuff.

Agreed that these provocations are incredibly dense and unnecessary and I think it goes back to the US’s long standing position that it owns the world. This belief is so deeply embedded into the American psyche you can hear sentiments of this nature from common folk with no formal education all the way thru leaders in the highest positions.

This notion of the world revolves around us is dangerous. This ain't the 70s and 80s either where we order the 7th fleet into a conflicted region and the belligerents retreat. The world has caught up and the sooner we realize the better. Remarks by former Taiwan - ROC ambassador toNew Zealand.

Maybe I missed you posting about it Sammy but I’m surprised you didn’t mention Biden catching Covid, recovered from onset symptoms then went back to business then got hit with a rebound case.
This matters because it exposes the illogic wildly irresponsible “new normal” that’s been permitted under life with Covid. If you follow Biden’s CDC advise you could return to normal after 5 days and not worry about transmitting the virus.
Only, scientists are discovering that roughly 25-30% of people who follow that advise are actually still infectious.
America, the beautiful.

Brother I didn't even comment on it because it's so fkin asinine. That senile old fool taking a victory lap after his intial recovery touting how great his vaccines are while being a number 1 advertiser for Pfizer made him look like a moron. Then he was bragging how he's continuing working despite symptoms and how great he feels when any sensible doctor recommends full rest. Then after his victory lap, he got a rebound case which was very well expected from Paxlovid which he calls rare even though it's very common. Honestly, he's better than trump because even a molten rock is, but only marginally. We are doomed with shit for brain leaders. That's how politics has evolved under the utterly failed two party system. And yes the new normal of Covid is minimizing Covid which is criminally negligent at best.

A U.S. Air Force plane that may include House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi among its passengers entered the final leg of its journey to Taiwan after departing from Malaysia and taking an extended route that skirted the South China Sea.
Scared of being shot down

Maybe now the idiot will realize that his vax, pax and relax approach is shit. But I doubt it.
Doctor: Biden's COVID Symptoms Return, In 'Good Spirits'
President Joe Biden’s “loose cough” has returned as he faces a rebound case of COVID-19, his doctor said Tuesday, though he “continues to feel well."

Mitch McConnell and 25 Senate Republicans congratulate Nancy Pelosi on her visit to Taiwan. Said McConnell “Speaker Pelosi was right.”
When Mitch McConnell supports you, you can bet your ass you’re doing the wrong thing. These gestures between parties illustrate the common thread of “the party.”

I did not read Pelosi’s op-ed in the Washington Post because it’s behind a paywall but I caught a snippet of her bullshit editorial but she can suck my left nut if she think SHE is the one who decides we go to war with China over her business interests.
There is a United Nations Resolution regarding Taiwan, one that recognizes it to be apart of China, not an independent nation. How China elects to handle this relationship will largely determine geopolitical politics for a generation, affecting everything from global supply chains to climate crisis aversion / collapse. The Speaker of the House does not get to decide if we go to war, she is elected to represent the will of the people and all she is doing is politicking, attempting to build that contempt within our border so she be apart of the unified Republicrat Party that will shift our endless wars over to Asia.
She went on to characterize the situation as one of autocrats vs democracy” at a time when democracy itself is a sham way to describe America’s undemocractic system, where less than half of citizens vote, tens of millions are restricted and now, a frail system currently under threat from an autocrat in the US. Address that before you go around trumpeting America’s “democracy” Nancy.
And suck my right nut too.
