I said, “Nah, I’m not going to—or, we’re not going to give you the billion dollars.” They said, “You have no authority. You’re not the president.” The president said—I said, “Call him.” I said, “I’m telling you, you’re not getting the billion dollars.” I said, “You’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours.” I looked at them and said, “I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.” Well, son of a bitch. He got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time. https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/biden-reportedly-bragged-about-the-firing-of-a-prosecutor-who-was-investigating-his-sons-firm/

You left out the most important........proven woman beater. Grabbed 'em by the ballot box. Heck, they let 'em do it. Trump won the Electoral College with 304 votes compared to 227 votes for Hillary Clinton. As Trump secured 295 electoral votes to Harris' 226

At least Don Jr. can pay his rent without having to barter poop art.

Would you find it acceptable if Hun....oops, I mean Don Jr. were "hired" to "work" on a corporate board for which he never makes any appearances in an industry where he has no experience? Would it make it bigly more acceptable if Trump promised to fire any persecutors that were looking into the corporations corruption?

Look! I found a videos! On the Youtubes! Videos of the same demolition shot at different angles were published by USA Today and China Observer. https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-does-viral-video-show-china-destroying-unfinished-high-rises-1783119

No, but they are burning Teslas, and the people in that building are supporting genocide.

President Donald Trump is closing out the first quarter of his second term in office with an average 45% job approval rating, higher than the 41% earned in his first term but well below all other post-World War II presidents elected in the U.S. The average first-quarter rating for all presidents elected from 1952 to 2020 is 60%. ... Trump is the only president to have sub-50% average approval ratings during a first quarter in office. Winning, I guess.©

I'll remember that next time I lovingly duck-tape swastikas onto the local synagogue. It's not a hate crime as long as I'm thinking happy thoughts as I do it.

Terrible poker player? You must be kidding! He's like the only man in the world ever to go bankrupt running a casino. And he did it six times. And the cherry on top is that he had one casino go bankrupt three times. I don't know about you, but shirley, that's the man I want tearing down the world economy to rebuild in his image! Winning!©

It's only a hate crime when THEY do it.

"We just had an earf'quack. If you can read this, you survived."

What? Run out of Falun Gong links? Overall, we rate Swarajya Questionable due to poor sourcing (lack of) and the publication of right-wing propaganda. We also rate them Low for factual reporting due to numerous failed fact checks. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/swarajya/

Another month or two of trade wars and destruction of 401K's and Trump will have achieved his goal of leaving his people to live in abject poverty.

I thought only Trump ran his piehole without thinking. https://rocklobstercycles.com/ Rock Lobster Cycles

Not at first. We need to annex Panama, Greenland and Canada first!

You don't unnerstan. It's not a $400 billion market for China. It's less than half that. Much of it is goods assembled from Japanese, Korean and Taiwan Province components. Given the size of those economies, this is more of an attack on them than it is on China. The rest of your screed is repurposed China Observer/China Insight propaganda. Why don'cha post videos of 'ghost cities', fields of abandoned EV's, and wrap up with folks dyin' in the streets. Simply repeating the Falun Gang talking points won't make them all true. China isn't going to invade Siberia. "But I got another video!"

How much of that bigly number is actually foreign multinational profit? Foreign companies use China's city-sized industrial zones to assemble and package their products for resale elsewhere, with much of the components being shipped in from Japan, Korea and Taiwan Province. Consider Foxconn assembling their iphones using Chinese labor. Phones are sold in the US for $1000 which is included in that $400 billion, yet the Chinese keep only $7-30 per phone depending on model. Loss of the US market, previously about 14% of exports, or around 3% of GDP, now probably around 5% or even less of exports, isn't going to be the majik bullet Trump thinks it will be. Thus his latest brain fart, levying surcharges on any Chinese-built ship docking at US ports, regardless of who owns or operates it. Add a couple $million per boat, up to 5x/year, plus $hundreds per container, plus $hundreds per vehicle for car carriers. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/17/trump-administration-announces-fees-on-chinese-ships-docking-at-us-ports.html 44DD grand chessmaster thinks adding more taxes on the US consumer will bring shipbuilding back to the US. He simply looks at numbers..........China built more ships last year alone than the USA built since 1945...........so yeah, more taxes on Billy Bob will put all our Starbucks baristas back to work in the shipyards by Christmas.

Trump administration announces fees on Chinese ships docking at U.S. ports Steep levies on Chinese-made ships arriving at U.S. ports have been proposed, up to as much as $1.5 million, as part of a plan to bring more ship manufacturing back to the U.S., a policy which has bipartisan support. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/17/trump-administration-announces-fees-on-chinese-ships-docking-at-us-ports.html Great move! That's real 44DD chest right there! China builds the boats. Built more ships last year than the USA built since 1945. $Million taxes on any ship built by China, regardless of who owns it or operates it. Oh, and also $hundreds additional for every China-manufactured shipping container, and $150 per car for car-carriers. Smart man! That'll bring shipbuilding back to the USA! That or isolate the US since China built something like 95% of the current fleets on the waters. Winning!©

Rome wasn't destroyed in a day.

No, just Canada and Greenland and Panama and Syria and Iran and Mexico and Cuba and Yemen and......and that's just this month!

Why did you have to bring Harris into the discussion? I thought we'd all moved on from word salad surgery.

Oh, my Lady Gaga! "Memorandum of Intent" NOW, THEREFORE, as evidenced by the signatures set forth below, the Government of the United States and the Government of Ukraine enter into this Memorandum of Intent to work expeditiously towards the completion of the necessary documents in order to finalize the agreement forging an economic partnership between the American and Ukrainian peoples and establishing a reconstruction investment fund. In other words, they're going to establish a committee to consider implications of conducting a study into the feasibility of forming a group to waste some money on hookers and blow in Paris. Damn! Trump's been Minsk'd!

Chinese would be better off, both in terms of cost and time, running the line down through Myanmar, then building a 600km bridge to Malaysia.

It takes time for the right people to buy up the properties along the proposed route to later sell to the rail corporation at inflated prices.

So after Minsk and Minsk-2 and Istanbul and Black Sea Grain, you think Putin is going to sign Minsk-3?
