That movie almost makes you sympathetic with the Chinese.

But it also doesn’t get super deep into all the aspects.. like, with the belt and road stuff, China would make these deals where they’d agree to buy x from y country and just completely reneged, they did tofu dreg shit that just fell apart, they’d book out an entire hotel specifically to prevent any Africans from sleeping in the same building as the Chinese.. but mostly I think you were dealing with two cultures who over promise and under deliver, so of course nobody would be happy with the outcome.

For the African countries, they’d realize they got Chinese quality infrastructure they’d be paying off longer after it was gone, and the Chinese people realized they weren’t actually going to get paid back, lol.
Another fan of the China show I hope?

ESPN host Stephen Smith really truly is considering a presidential campaign. He says people asking him to run is an indictment of the Democratic Party. 2028 feels like a hundred years away in politics so we'll see what happens with him.
Lmao, he looks like they pulled him out of a case of lightbulbs fresh from Somalia. He didn't get the memo that you can't win on "Vote for me because I'm black" anymore.
 
Stephen A. Smith is well known for having lots of retarded sports takes just to get eyes on his show, and he also talks very slowly about anything that isn't sports, which indicates a lack of passion or talent for politics. Political debates aren't chimping out at another brotha over who the GOAT is like he's used to on ESPN, unless you're Trump which I don't see him pulling off.

I really don’t understand the Stephen Smith thing. To me, he was always just the black guy who looked like a leprechaun while inserting politics into ESPN. He’s just a flash in the pan who is shooting his shot way too early. There are real contenders like Shapiro, Whitmer, and Newsome out there. They know the time to gain momentum as a candidate is not for another couple of years.

Best comparison would be Keith Olberman. Sports guy who realizes he can be a politics troll too, but is in danger of beginning to self-fart-sniff and take himself seriously.
 
She requested a meeting, and Trump said “ok,” but he ended up inviting her at the same time he was signing an executive order about election integrity. She was embarrassed most likely because she didn’t want the democrat world to know she was meeting with trump for anything, because it makes her look like she’s fraternizing with the enemy, or in the context of the executive order, that she’s a snitch

Ahem, now, in honor of Easter week

🎶 It seems to me a strange thing, myyyyyystifying
That a man like you
could waste his time
On commies of this kind

🎶 Yes I can understand that Xiiiiii amuses
But to let him stroke you
And kiss your hand
Is hardly in your line
 
I'm still unsure of the point Bernie's sperg out over Social Security is, other than to scare the shit out of old people with having their gibs being taken away. They've been scaring and fear mongering this shit ever since Obama was in office. "Better not let another Republican take office. They want to gut government programs." Well, they do, but not for American citizens. Ever since they've started defunding their new voting block, they've been more agitated about it. I mean, it's true. I haven't seen the Democrats this pissed since the Republicans took away their slaves.
 
From my experience, direct African immigrants are more likely to have like, a normal conception of shame or whatever that compels them to do as well as their neighbors and try to fit in. Granted, the sample size is a couple people in a couple decades
The immigrants thing gets skewed because the few African immigrants we get that aren’t refugees tend to be more competent than the rest of the continent. The country of origin matters a lot too.
