You make it sound like China has us by the balls when, I'd argue, it's far more akin to Sneaky Pete bullshit that shrinks away when you shine a little light on it - which is what Trump has done.

Yeah, it's been a pretty well known fact for a while that if the US just stopped buying Chinese goods Chinas economy would freak the fuck out.

We saw it during the first trade war with Trump's first presidency and we're seeing it now.

China is an export economy that exports cheap shit that only Americans really want.

-Rap in general is dying

I'd reword it to

Rap outside of "street artists" and other figures like that are using the same 3 styles resulting in them sharing a lot of the same listeners and driving away other potential fans, forcing those fans to either stick to older music or not listen to the genre much entirely

China’s entire plan up until recently was skirting about the rules the US used to play by, and even then, it was a gamble on whether their system would collapse or not before Glorious Chinese Century. We’re talking about a state that wants to be the largest economy on earth but is actively trying to prevent transition to consumer economy, they want to be a billion big mighty Nazi Germany that can produce anything.
They got so angry at Trump being re-elected because Trump doesn’t play by the rules their entire plan revolved around. This entire tariff stand off is the Chinese government blowing a giant gasket.

My post was a joke, buddy. You didn't fuck up your original post.

My joke/point is that only the US has the disposable income to buy all the shit China manufactures. Europeans are all poor and Africa isn't buying fast fashion crap. Hell, in the Congo, they actually give a shit about the quality of their clothing.

Let’s bear in mind how hard the system tried to prevent trump 2.0

God was watching and laughing as democrats fretted over whether Joe or kamala should run.

China won't accept anything that won't allow them to save face. But there are many ways to save face. They are taking a pounding right now. This cannot continue.

As for your second point, it's gotten larger if I recall in terms of their formations. But the fact remains that their last real war was against Vietnam. And they lost. I think they could win in a extended war against Taiwan, but holy fuck they would take enormous losses. The Taiwan strait would be a graveyard of warships with how many anti ship missiles Taiwan has stockpiled.

You're acting like the Taiwanese are 100% in favor of independence from China. They aren't. A significant percentage see themselves as Chinese first, that's why they've never held a vote. That's also why every effort to relocate the semiconductor work from Taiwan have all failed so far: the critical people don't want to move to the West.

The hilarious thing is that if the CCP wasn’t so greedy and let the lower classes get wealthy, they’d have enough domestic demand to weather Trump’s tariffs. Unfortunately for them, the elite kept everything for themselves and now their economy is completely dependent on exports.

TSMC finally built an American fab after all of their major customers “asked” them for one. They had no choice.

It's honestly amazing to me how very little Liberals actually understand how truly violent and ruthless both TDA and MS13 are. I still remain flabbergasted at their willful ignorance.

Uh oh, Senator Faggot's boyfriend had a protective order against him by his girlfriend/wife. I #blieveallwomen:

He should be charged with human trafficking if he tries to bring the guy back.

yes, running an open Progressive would be Political Suicide which is why the Democrats strategy in 2028 will likely be a white person thats ostensibly Centrist for President while the Progressive retards in Congress actually drive policy which is pretty much what happened with Biden, what Republicans have to do to keep the White House is to find another populist like Trump because running another Corporatist hack like Bush 43 would end in complete and utter disaster and the country would be handed over to Progressive faggots on a silver platter

Well you can't run Gavin cause of San Fran and LA, so is Shapiro the best bet?

 

[quaawaa]

Bukele should arrest him and the State Department should issue a statement that American citizens are expected to follow other countries’ laws when traveling.

It's greed, ideology, and political. A wealthy lower class would get in the way of Maoist ideology and also destabilize the CCP.

probably but I still feel a JD Vance/Josh Shapiro race favors Vance, Walz is probably the most Left-Wing candidate the DNC would find acceptable but we all know how he turned out as Kamala's running mate, imo its going to be many years before Democrats have a shot at the White House again if it all, what Republicans need to do is keep ignoring the Mike Johnson corporatist wing of the party, Vance is a good successor to Trump but they need to be thinking in the long term as well

Fortunately Taiwan's military doesn't need a vote to defend themselves. Also tell that to the TMSC fab in Arizona

I am just tucking this in here because I searched briefly and did not see it. Letitia James, the fat black bitch who invented an infraction to sue Trump for, was actually committing mortgage fraud.

Bye Letitia? Criminal Referral Filed Against NY AG Over Real Estate Fraud Accusation​

by Tyler Durden
Wednesday, Apr 16, 2025 - 10:30 AM
A criminal referral against New York Attorney General Letitia James has been filed with the DOJ, alleging that James had "falsified records" to get home loans for a Virginia property that she claimed was her "principal residence" in 2023 - while she was serving as a New York state prosecutor.

Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director William Pulte sent the missive to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy AG Todd Blanche, claiming that in late August 2023 - weeks before she launched her civil fraud trial against the Trump Organization for inflating the values of its properties.

In 2021, James also purchased a 5-family Brooklyn property, but has "consistently misrepresented the same property as only having four units in both building permit applications and numerous mortgage documents and applications," the letter noted.

Loans secured for this property could have reduced her mortgage interest rate by as much as 1% - leaving James with lower monthly payments under the federal Home Assistance Modification Program (HAMP) since it was listed as containing just four units, according to Pulte.

Documents from the NYC Department of Buildings show a pattern of inconsistencies about a Brooklyn property James owns—inconsistencies that mysteriously received special treatment when reported.

As White Collar Fraud noted last month;

The Certificate of Occupancy for 296 Lafayette Avenue in Brooklyn—issued January 26, 2001—clearly states the property is a five-family dwelling regulated under NYC housing laws. James purchased this property on February 14, 2001, just two weeks after this Certificate of Occupancy was issued. This official classification has been on the books for more than two decades.

Yet James repeatedly filed permit applications identifying the same property as a four-family dwelling—a classification subject to different regulatory requirements under New York City building codes. Under NYC building code classifications, her property with five units would be classified as C2 (which applies to buildings with 5+ units), while her filings list it as C3 (which applies to 3-4 unit buildings). This fundamental contradiction between the long-established Certificate of Occupancy and her permit applications raises serious questions about regulatory compliance.

"While this was a long time ago, it raises serious concerns about the validity of Ms. James representations on mortgage applications" wrote Pulte, attaching several documents showing James had purchased another property with her father as a co-signer, but falsely listed the pair as "husband and wife" in 1983 and 2000.

James also granted power of attorney to Shamice Thompson-Hairston, a relative, to sign an Aug. 17, 2023, document authorizing the purchase of the first property, according to WCF.

"Ms. James, for both properties listed above, appears to have falsified records in order to meet certain lending requirements and receive favorable loan terms," Pulte wrote, adding that James could be charged with wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution.

God laughed his ass off as all the glowies at Butler shat their pants

It's greed, ideology, and political. A wealthy lower class would get in the way of Maoist ideology and also destabilize the CCP.

Another funny effect is that the pressure AGAINST invading Taiwan is from CCP officials who don’t want to lose their American and Canadian mansions

These generals and shit who have to act all hardass to keep the knife out of their back might actually dream about having a beer on a Sunday while they mow their 100% natural vegetable grass
