    It isn't like China makes so much cheap crap for us that they could afford to build massive cities that are falling apart in a year or two. Nope, we aren't paying for that.

    We're getting their junk goods so cheap it might as well be free!!!!!

    I'm aware of the tariffs concept but there's no correlation between that and the calamity we're going through right now.

    We're now talking about two completely different things.

    Trump in the early stages was praising WHO and China in February. Why does he continually deny what he says when there is video to prove it?

    See that’s where I respectfully disagree. China is a bad actor, always has been. They steal tech, personal info, and it’s pretty evident they want to be the new world power.

    They’ve convinced the world they can make cheap ass parts, medicine and chemicals (essential items) and the world bought it. They are the #1 world polluter and they shield any oversight. They’ve paid to get people into top positions around the world in the WHO, UN and various world commerce groups to keep that power.

    This virus was caused by them, which in turn, disrupted all the world’s supply chains. Then because they didn’t want to lose their world power, they hide vital information and allowed this virus to spread outside their country.

    We need drastic changes to our essential supply chains, even if they are more expensive. Why? Because we can’t afford to be held hostage by a bad actor.

    Maybe because he, like everyone else, was looking to them for guidance on this pandemic? :dunno:

    Vicious Tyrant Trump Wants To Let People Leave Their Homes
    April 14th, 2020
    [​IMG]
    WASHINGTON, D.C.—By all accounts, President Donald Trump has now gone completely mad with power. In a press briefing, he laid out his insidious plan.

    “When I’m done with this country, everyone will be able to leave their houses whenever they want and do whatever they want,” Trump told the press with an evil grin. “They’ll be able to peaceably assemble in whatever size groups they desire! Muhahaha!”

    “You’re a mad man!” a CNN reporter cried. “You don’t have the power to let people have freedom! You’re a tyrant!”

    “My power is absolute!” Trump screamed. “No one can stop me! Soon everyone will be able to go back to work and buy whatever they feel like from the store even if bureaucrats don’t like it!”

    “Noooo!” cried an MSNBC reporter. “You have to arrest people who don’t do what the government tells them! Who do you think you are? Someone stop him!”

    But no one came to stop him, and Trump just laughed an evil laugh.

    It is unknown if anything can be done about Trump, but many hope that the Constitution has enough checks and balances to keep one man from giving out freedom by fiat.

    The outbreak in the South Dakota processing plant is now over 500 sick. Governor still says no stay at home needed. In Iowa another outbreak in processing plant and again no stay at home. Nebraska also no stay at home although many businesses are closed. Nebraska announced with great fanfare they will reopen large shopping mall. Because what could possibly go wrong?

    Because even if there is video proof of him saying something, and he denies it, the majority of his followers JUST. DONT. GIVE A. SHIT. He allows them to be the shitty people they are, and that makes them feel good. Like some racist hillbilly has anything in common with a billionaire from NY. But they can believe he's one of them, so it works.

    Ah, you mean that “fake news.” You know the one where the money was given to Ukraine before the deadline set by congress? You mean the one that was a partisan vote with 2 democrats voting against?

    oh now I remember! Thanks!

    Oh yeah I remember that hearing well. The same house hearing where their star witness told congress that Trump told him not to Quid Pro Quo? That was a fun event. Definitely enjoyed him getting a poll boost from that hit job.
