My relatives in Taiwan, who used to live in the USA, pity us.

Trump is the last remaining obstacle between Beijing and Taiwan. After a year or two of Biden and the Dems, the People’s Liberation Army will roll through Taiwan like a tsunami and 'liberate' your relatives.

Aint happening. Your man Trump, Japan, S Korea ect. would not allow it :-)
Triggered because small countries are kicking the virus's ass while in this country, the virus is kicking Trump's ass.
Over and over, on this board and when I talk to righties in the RV park. They believe the virus is fake
amazing
You just dont see this in Taiwan. You just dont see anybody in Taiwan declaring the virus is fake. If you did that, you would be shamed out of the country.

Baseball season is falling apart in the USA
In Taiwan, fans are in the stands watching baseball

Pat Lin, my cousin that used to live in Jacksonville and moved back to Taiwan is taking pity on the USA due to the virus

Their neighbors in Hong Kong protest waving US Flags. That one really shows something. The USA has no special ties to Hong Kong yet they look to the USA. If I were a journalist I would try to get a story on that (without getting myself thrown in China prison.) Ask the man on the street with the USA Flag why he is waving it? Why not the Union Jack? Why not anything else?

Based on that I highly doubt people in Taiwan "pity us." Maybe people there who prefer to live under communism.

The US has now done over 70 million tests by far the most of any country. Don't suppose that large number of tests has anything to do with the large number of cases reported.

Of course that must be fake news since the tests and labs are financed by the Feds and we all know that the President is doing nothing about Covid.

You're right about Trump. He would never allow the US to fall so far behind China that he would have to allow it. But he probably won't be around six months from now.

As for Japan and SK, Japan has less than 250,000 people in their military, and SK won't dare make a move, knowing they have a million man NK army on their border, just waiting to invade.

Soon, while President Harris can only watch and bite her nails, the glorious Peoples Liberation Army will flatten Taiwan like a scallion pancake.

You really dont understand that region
Japan and S Korea dont have influence due to their armed forces
Those countries strength and influence are due to their economies
Its just laughable that China will invade Taiwan.
We've had liberal Presidents before and China never moved on Taiwan
What makes you believe your fantasy???????
You're drinking that Breibart koolade that the world will go to disaster if a Dem is elected President
I heard that same crap when McCain lost, Bush 1 lost, Dole lost

The right wing is not taking this virus seriously due to Trump
Thats the problem. I've personally spoken to Trumpers, they think the virus is fake.
Do you think the virus is fake?
Even members on the right here on this board think the virus is fake
You dont see this in Taiwan. The entire country believes the virus is real and believes in wearing masks.
Trump egged on the maskless.
The rest of the planet will get this virus behind them. The USA will be dealing with this virus for a long time.

I think over counting is probably more likely, as hospitals did get extra money for being a COVID-19 hospital. .


Super incentive to lie thru their
asses. Especially because they
thought the deaths were going
to be 10 times higher. I put
the actual death count, the
legit count, at less than half
of what was reported. Biggest
scam in modern history.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Friend's sister was in the hospital being treated for depression. No visitors due to the pandemic. After she became ill and died, he received her in a sealed body bag, marked "Possible Covid". The hospital never tested her. He had to bury her in that bag, without ever seeing her for the last time.
