I mean, China has a record of constantly trying to embiggen its borders, wrt dumb poo poo with making sandbar islands & so on, being greasy with smaller islands in the south pacific, but thats not amazingly different from practically everywhere else that can do that, to expect them not to is a bit unrealistic, however lovely it is.

yep, lots of gas, oh, look where Russia made a beeline for.

Taiwan makes wonderful sense to control from China's standpoint if you look at the number of US allies that surround China's ocean trade routes. To the north east, you have South Korea and Japan. To the south, you have Vietnam and the Philippines. Taiwan is almost like a cork, that can be used to bottle up Chinese ocean ways in the event of super bad times. Strategically, it makes sense to try and make that cork Chinese territory.

Combine that with a rapidly looming population crunch, sooner is becoming much more important than later. Really hope Trump's not in charge when it hits off soon*.

Is there some obvious reason a high-profile trial lawyer with millions in the bank is doing a clumsy YT cooking video that I'm missing?

She is doing a legit awful job at cutting. Seriously, that is not how you cut vegies at all, she is like somehow mashing them instead of slicing them?

Anyways, I took a cooking class once and they taught us how to cut so I can smugly tell people that they are cutting wrong with the one thing I know about proper cooking technique that I learned in the class.

Democrats generally have the support from Catholics, which Biden is. Evangelicals however, have always been the proto-chuds in the way they act. There is no way to win them over when they're determined to launch the world into th end-times. Just another group of nutters on the pile.

I'm aware of that. My comment was that I've NEVER seen a Democratic politician go after evangelicals by name like this, or take a shot a "religious" beliefs. They must have some polling that has the "evangelical" identity in the dirt among the democrat base.

I keep fantasizing about having a debate with Trump, where I bring a scale and ask him to stand on it, and a tape measure and ask him to take his height with his shoes off. Or just mocking him about smelling like poo poo and cheating on his wife with porn stars. And bringing up his terrible fake face tan that always misses his ears. We would discuss 0 political issues and I would live out my fantasy of dunking on a man with dementia. I want to debate Donald Trump.

:qq: I LOVE TWO AND HALF MEN!! YOU 20 SOMETHINGS ARE JUST TOO CYNICAL TO UNDERSTAND IT!!:qq:
it does kinda seem like Trump is hosed here, even if there are several chuds on the jury there's just so much evidence and the only defense thus far has been "Trump should be allowed to get away with crime". what kind of penalties are we looking at here? I know Cohen saw jail time (sort of) but would that really happen here? is this all just gonna amount to another massive fine that he won't actually have to pay?

i mean even if it's just that it's still pretty bad, "convicted felon" isn't really what you want on your resume when running for president, just wanna know what's actually on the table here

I think the way they mindlessly adopt the valid attacks against them is the piece of rhetoric I hate the most. A bunch of Republicans are correctly accused of grooming children? Suddenly all the Republicans start calling their opponents groomers. The news points out that all legal scholars agree that one of Cannon's rulings had no legal justification? Well now "all legal scholars" say Trump is the sole authority on justice.

I always wonder when he does this "every legal scholar agrees this case is very fake!" nonsense whether he knows he's lying and is playing to the crowds, whether he's narcissistic enough to think that if he keeps insisting it it'll become true, or if his people keep him in enough of a bubble and just feed him Jeanine Pirro videos or whatever that he genuinely believes it.
