I have to tune in to one of the propaganda channels to get the weather.

President Biden is in Texas.

Ted Cruz is in Orlando making jokes about his ill-fated Cancun trip for the CPAC crazies.

Ted Cruz’s joke was in such poor taste even for him. Additionally, he made a swipe at Orlando, which is in direct competition with Cancun for winter tourism.

Biden attacks Syria without alerting Tlaib, Omar, and Ocasio Cortez. So Biden isn’t as far gone as I thought! Funny thing..... they found old tweet from Psaki attacking Trump for doing just what Biden did. Her response. ‘It’s different!’ Even when a first grader can tell it isn’t......

Trump's strikes were in retaliation for a nerve agent attack on Syria civilians. His attack targeted Assad's forces. Biden's attack came after Iran backed militants attacked an Iraqi airbase that we use, killing a United States military contractor. His attack didn't target Assad's forces. It targeted Iran backed militants.

If grown man can't or refuse to acknowledge the difference, why would we expect a first grader to?

You make it more complicated than it is. Trump used his authority to authorize an attack in our interests without seeking congressional approval. Biden used his authority to authorize an attack in our interests without seeking congressional approval. Of course the specific details of who is being attacked for what will be different. So far, this is by far the best action of the Biden presidency.

I’m the last guy to want to “both sides” anything, but when it comes to foreign policy, Dems and Reps are both gonna blow s*** up. That’s why foreign policy is always near the bottom of my “issues list.”

Nah. I disagree. The details matter, especially when using military force.

You implied Psaki was a hypocrite and that the situations are identical. She isn't and they aren't.

President Trump issued an Executive Order barring Americans from investing in Communist Chinese Military Companies. There are currently 44 companies on the list.

"the national strategy of Military-Civil Fusion' means that the party-state compels private companies to support the 'military, intelligence, and security apparatuses and aid in their development and modernization,’"

"Every dollar that goes into a Chinese enterprise, whether state or private, enriches a regime that has declared a 'people's war' on the United States. Therefore, every company should be off-limits to investment from Americans,"

A few days ago, under pressure from his Wall Street controllers, President Xiden overturned Trump’s EO, and Americans are once again free to support the Chinese Military. At least until May 27th.

For anyone interested in these investment opportunities, this recent release by the Department of Defense, includes links for the lists of CMCC's, some of which you may now invest in. Most, like COMAC, which will eventually put Boeing and Airbus out of business, are not yet publicly traded. Those are meant for the institutional investors that invested in Xiden.
