I'll book you two the honeymoon suite.

In what Dem State is the US Supreme Court located? Actually, the conservative majority of the Supreme court ruled that the Federal Govt can't force State Governments to cooperate with Federal Law Enforcement agencies. https://www.oyez.org/cases/1996/95-1478 They may choose to do so, but that's a different matter. And, no, that document does not direct State employees to obstruct justice. Telling them to be cautious and only to cooperate after consultation does not constitute obstruction of justice.

Well, fictional characters are notoriously sensitive to criticism.

You and Trump should get a room.

You could at least look to see who launched it.

Sorry. But I feel that I owe it to your reformation to continue. Some day you'll thank me.

I was going to write that "herd mentality" explains it, but I decided that wasn't fair. Now I'm leaning towards blaming "lemming mentality".

I've given you the location. I've spent enough time on this already. All you have to do is click on the link and you will see names.

In the 60's people were still mocking japan in the same way you are now mocking China, Just like them,, you are living in the past. China has an extremely advanced industrial base which makes lots of intermediate inputs crucial for American manufacturers. Tariffs on Chinese-made machinery drive up costs for U.S. manufacturers The U.S. economy depends on Chinese tools needed to make everything from cars to electronics in American factories... Trump claims that his trade policies are necessary to seed a “golden age” of U.S. manufacturing, but trade experts and companies say the broad tariffs may actually complicate bringing back some industries. The U.S. economy not only is reliant on China for finished products like toys and laptops but also depends on Chinese tools to make everything from cars to electronics in American factories. https://archive.ph/D0vmQ China Has an Army of Robots on Its Side in the Tariff War China’s secret weapon in the trade war is an army of factory robots, powered by artificial intelligence, that have revolutionized manufacturing. Factories are being automated across China at a breakneck pace. With engineers and electricians tending to fleets of robots, these operations are bringing down the cost of manufacturing while improving quality. As a result, China’s factories will be able to keep the price of many of its exports lower, giving it an advantage in fighting the trade war and President Trump’s high tariffs. https://archive.ph/gA65L The United States has trade leverage with China, but not as much as Washington thinks The United States has diversified its imports away from China for low value-added goods such as bedding, mattresses, and furniture. But diversification is proving far harder for higher value-added goods. To understand why the incoming Trump administration is going to face a dilemma on how to execute its new tariffs, see our analysis on the top goods the United States is importing from China: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/econographics/sinographs/the-united-states-has-trade-leverage-with-china-but-not-as-much-as-washington-thinks/ New Study Shows China Leading in Dozens of Critical Technologies China has surged ahead of America in 37 of 44 categories of critical technologies, a comprehensive new report finds, and in some cases China is approaching a near-dominant position in that technology. American policymakers at all levels need to act quickly upon these findings, as China’s technology gains could fundamentally shift geopolitical power and influence to the authoritarian nation and away from the United States. The report, published by the respected Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), examined 2.2 million data points for nine strategically important technology categories. China has significant leads in advanced materials and manufacturing, energy, biotechnology, sensors, and certain elements of artificial intelligence (AI), while the United States leads in design and development of advanced microchips, quantum computing, and vaccines. The countries are roughly tied in the defense/space category. https://americanedgeproject.org/new-study-shows-china-leading-in-dozens-of-critical-technologies/ China Has an Army of Robots on Its Side in the Tariff War China’s secret weapon in the trade war is an army of factory robots, powered by artificial intelligence, that have revolutionized manufacturing.

The mods don't like us to name names.

Here's an entire topic dedicated to the issue:

Sure. You really oughtn't to be telling fairy tales here. Given your attitude towards those who criticize Trump, how likely is it that anyone who hated him would be your friend? Unless maybe this was a case of dominatrix and slave.

"The all items index rose 2.4 percent for the 12 months ending March, after rising 2.8 percent over the 12 months ending February. The all items less food and energy index rose 2.8 percent over the last 12 months, the smallest 12-month increase since March 2021. The energy index decreased 3.3 percent for the 12 months ending March. The food index increased 3.0 percent over the last year" https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm

Finally, you confess. They say it's good for the soul. Especially for a deeply tarnished one.

I wasn't inventing outrage. I was pointing out hypocrisy. All those right wingers who justified the ambush of Zelensky at the White House by saying that his clothing was disrespectful. They threw hissy fits about Zelensky's attire but so defensive of Trump. There is one Trump supporter on this thread who actually accused Zelensky of stolen valor. Well actually "stolen valour". He spelled valor the British way.

Well, the original post left it unclear.

Actually the US is paying El Salvador to take those prisoners. Why would the US be paying el salvador to accept prisoners who aren't theirs?

It's not personal. Strictly about your modus operandi on the forum. In other words, there's evidence provided by you.

Just to be clear. Trump is proposing free passage for all US ships both military and commercial. “American Ships, both Military and Commercial, should be allowed to travel, free of charge, through the Panama and Suez Canals!” he writes on his Truth Social platform. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/trump-demands-free-passage-for-us-ships-through-panama-and-suez-canals/

Right I'm the one who evaporates when I'm shown to be wrong. In this case my objection was to your double standards. As for the translation itself, I have no doubts it's true. But I'm not the one who repeatedly challenges news stories that offer specific evidence. I'm not the one who questions the authenticity of the report based on the news source but doesn't offer counter evidence to support that claim. That would be you.

Emails Revealed: Court records show emails between Ed Martin and an ally urging online criticism of a judge handling a case he was involved in, which experts say is an ethical violation. Legal Payouts: Martin’s actions have led to more than $600,000 in legal settlements or judgments against Martin or his employers, much of that not previously reported. Politicized Prosecutions: Martin has reshaped the office to reflect Trump’s priorities, firing or demoting prosecutors who worked on Jan. 6 cases and targeting Trump’s critics with legal threats. https://www.propublica.org/article/ed-martin-trump-interim-dc-us-attorney-secret-judge-attacks He also has zero experience as a prosecutor and now Trump wants him to be the head of what is one of the 2 most important federal prosecutorial offices.

It's not me who arbitrarily challenges mainstream sources.

Funny. Your source the Jamestown Foundation is basically a neo-conservative stronghold. If someone were to cite them as a source to refute what you claim, doubtless you would discredit it on those grounds.

I guess the leaders who wore black were feeling suicidal that day. As for your final comment, I think we can file it under I don't like Trump but...
