Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Well, compared to what the other side is doing, "nothing" is a lot more productive.

But he did do the normal "China is currently mad with the US" stuff, like banning the export of rare-earths.

The Trump regime needed to feel the pain. They don't care about consumer spending. That isn't what GovCo cares about. Just look at the state of the domestic economy. The rare earth metals was about impacting the MIC. That's the sector that matters. And China made it hurt.

Needs. This isn't the pain they need to feel, by a long shot.

I have never heard it called "The Fart of the Seal", but I am ABSOLUTELY going to call it this from now on.

Not that they've got a real patriotic bone in their body, it's all fast nationalism, but Ivan and his son, Ivan is one of the greatest paintings of all time.

Isn't it funny there's no mention of drugs from Chinese companies.

Trump's administration is all bark and no power. They're only making their own citizens progressively more miserable, while the rest of of us treat him exactly for what he is; a big orange aged clown with a bunch of dillusional followers.

  • They're not getting Greenland. Their last visit to Greenland was embarrassing.
  • They're not getting Panama.
  • The Ukrainian mineral deal is now in favour of Ukraine.
  • They did not get the "peace" they wanted in Ukraine, and have backed out.
  • Tesla is failing to the point it is cutting back on promises (which or relevant because it effects Elon).
  • They just lost the trade war against China.

Spineless, incompetent wannabe dictators. I'll enjoy seeing their cope as they claim their plans are working out great.
