That is a horrific endorsement and Dick Cheney is a monster.

I don’t think Israel’s government cares.

“TikTok does what every social media company does but this time it’s Chinese so it’s bad” is what this headline should really say.

The US Army says tampons are fine for patching bullet wounds in an emergency.

This is exactly what I was thinking of. American liberals are almost entirely ignorant of how much violence their government exports – and especially how much of it is targeted specifically at leftists. Marxists haven’t gained power in the US because any time they started to build working-class support they got murdered.

Not really a surprise; the political establishment of even the Republican party got really sick of Trump during his time in office because of the chaos. He didn’t behave like the typical useful idiot President and torpedoed a couple of easy legislative victories by tweeting in rage when they were almost through Congress.

“Marxists have failed to gain power because they think too much” is one hell of a liberal elitist take from the author of this article.

When “we have a right to defend ourselves” is the excuse given for genocide it’s completely unreasonable

Isn’t this literally two days after she parroted the Zionist mantra “israel has a right to defend itself”?

I’m a Trump hater but this sounds like serious exaggeration

Every foreign government at this point knows Trump is really easy to bribe and influence, so they want him back in charge. Certainly not unique to China.

Why did the RNC invite a union president to speak in the first place? Seems very out-of-character especially considering what he said on stage

The Supreme Court idea of judicial review was, essentially, created by an early Chief Justice using the classic children’s excuse “the rules don’t say I can’t do this so therefore I’m doing it and you can’t stop me”

Edit: I had this somewhat wrong. After reading, it seems a lot of the people who wrote and debated on the Constitution wrote strongly in support of judicial review, and it was in fact voted on and approved by multiple state legislatures after the Constitution was adopted. It simply wasn’t worded explicitly into the Constitution. Chief Justice John Marshall did issue an official ruling that made it a standard practice but it was not a new concept.

I’m referring to this, in the article.

The conservative justices appointed by his rival, former President Donald Trump, are “already gutting voting rights, overturning Roe, decimating affirmative action, and so much more,” Biden said. “Are we going to let that happen? We can’t.”

The Democrats are, in fact, letting it happen.

Yet another blatant, pandering lie.

Portable gaming died because of smartphone gaming, unfortunately

You have guessed right. The US government had a massive hand in the creation of modern social media, such as a significant amount of funding for Facebook during its startup phase. The intelligence agencies are mad that they can’t pull data from TikTok or influence its algorithms, on top of the American social media companies wanting to kill off their foreign competition as much as possible.

This bill has nothing to do with data privacy because if Congress cared about that they would’ve banned other platforms too. It’s about control and unfair competition.

The “data privacy” argument is bullshit and the people pushing for this law know it. That’s what is being sold to people but it is not why this TikTok ban got passed. It got passed because American social media companies are pissed that TikTok is outcompeting them for the attention of young people, and because the US government has a heavy hand in what algorithms are allowed to push on Facebook and Google and others. A good portion of Facebook’s initial funding came from government sources.

“Data privacy” is just an excuse. Lobbying from the intelligence agencies and social media companies is why it’s really being enacted.

The history speaks for itself. China is less of a threat to other countries in the world than the USA is. Your idea that they’re some international boogeyman that’s going to take over the entire world and doom humanity is just you repeating “China bad and scary” State Department propaganda.

Even with China’s human rights record being what it is, they don’t export war across the entire world.

This comment was brought to you by the US State Department.

Tell me, how many countries’ governments has China knocked over in the last century as compared to the US CIA?

How many countries did the US drop bombs on in the last decade, and how many did China?

It’s not even close. In terms of physical violence the US is the world’s #1 exporter.
