With this ruling there’s nothing to stop the same US citizen being detained every week for the rest of their lives.

Economically, in the short to medium term yes - but Xi now has a ton of information and leverage.

For example he knows the US can’t hold out long without rare earth mineral imports and you can bet he’ll exploit that for years to come.

Racism and bigotry aside - he’s so fucking miserably boring.

Ben Wittes said this a couple of months ago. There needs to be a forceful approach from the press when these cases start to collapse.

They should basically take as read the DOJ is bringing political prosecutions and reflect this in their coverage.

The underlying pretext here isn’t drug trafficking and it makes the press look ludicrous to start from a point that implies it is.

It’s clearly regime change they are after.

Quite easy to take the centre ground when the limit of the scrutiny you receive is:

‘Tell use about your healthcare plans.’

‘We’ll have the best healthcare.’

Great - Trump Strikes Moderate Tone On Healthcare.

Obviously, for quite a few of the issues where it appeared he tacked to the centre, he was pretending to have those views. Many have vapourised.

Are they real quotes, because the second quote directly contradicts the first?

I don’t understand the headline - why does it buy Trump time? Xi just straight up outmanoeuvred him, time was irrelevant.

If she said she’d driven them over many, many dogs I might have believed her.

He’s also not intelligent enough and acts emotionally.Xi made no fanfare of responding to Trump’s tariffs,just quietly behind the scenes stopped the export of rare earth minerals and import of soybeans,and that was that.

That’s not to say Xi isn’t an abuser of human rights,because he absolutely is.

Battle Royale capitalism.

Interestingly if this SNAP funding goes completely I would expect it to be felt within the economy to a reasonably significant degree.

They’re hitting a boat every other day now. There’s not a chance innocent people aren’t being killed with this frequency of strikes - regardless of whether people think it’s legal or not.

Personally, I think the seeds have been sown for the slow decline of the US automobile market - particularly internationally.

It surprised me that Slotkin thought a ‘work with Trump’ strategy would help the auto workers of Michigan, when he was taking a doomed path from the get go.

Without exaggeration there was probably more discussion of the morality of Biden cancelling some students’ debt.

There’s almost no discussion of the morality of this in the media. There’s also no discussion of the amount of people that may be dying as a result of actions like this.

The thing is, as we’ve seen, the reason she is screaming for her children is because she quite possibly may never see them again.

They are deporting people to anywhere and everywhere without a care for the consequences.
