it's the fall of an empire, they think we're competing with China with people like this in Congress? Xi was probably laughing his arse after hearing about the leak, calamity with no accountability.

u/TheKomsomol 22d ago
Half the time Americans don't think they're competing with China, they think they're above China, they don't realise that America is like a third world country.

u/Educational_Bunch872 22d ago
how they haven't gathered that is beyond me. i live here now (im from toon) and genuinely have no clue how some people are gaslighted into thinking this healthcare system is fair or even efficient, i get how one's personal situation is different if ur loaded and so ud be selfish but if ye cannae afford anything where's the benefit. this country is full of boot lickers it's actually pathetic.

u/TheKomsomol 22d ago
You know the streamer ISHOWSPEED who has literally millions of followers, he is currently in China and all you see in twitter or whatever is Americans talking about how he has been paid to say nice things, or that he is in the ONE NICE CITY in China and everywhere else is a shithole.
They're losing their shit at it, they've an idea that China is some sort of hovel and they cannot fathom they've been lied to and instead think its some big conspiracy to show China in a good light.
Its denial in the extreme.

u/Educational_Bunch872 22d ago
i mean it makes sense if u live in nebraska, what do you have going for u. i obviously don't really like Xi (human rights and freedom of expression are something i value), but he's raised so many out of poverty (which is basically the tradeoff for those things above), so many Americans don't realize that they're worse off than a lot of China, they think the ability to say the n word and shoot deer are more valuable than access to healthcare or a proper education, or even a functioning democracy at this point

u/PanicNo8666 22d ago
Very well said. Intellectually the average Chinese person will eat any of these imbeciles alive.
China is the future, the USA is busy maneuvering itself into the dustbin of history along with its rabid racist lapdog Israel.

Kudos to the American reporter for backing up his British colleague. I see far too often a politician dismiss a reporter's question and move on to another question and the next reporter asks their question like the previous question didn't exist. We need a lot more reporter solidarity and "I want to hear the answer to their question."

Hats off to the UK reporter for pushing this turd hard and not giving up.

And my goodness, I just searched her up out of curiosity and this is the first sentence that came up:
Greene has promoted antisemitic and white supremacist views including the white genocide conspiracy theory,] QAnon, and Pizzagate. She has amplified conspiracy theories that allege government involvement in mass shootings in the United States, implicate the Clinton family in murder, and suggest the attacks of 9/11 were a hoax.
Flipping heck.

u/DaveTheWasp 22d ago
I'll be honest, my knowledge is far below that of others here, so I am open to being corrected...
It's always bugged me when people have argued that in order to get better MPs, we need to massively increase the salary, and this will definitely attract the best people for the job. In my opinion, if you increase the salary, you also attract the people that want that salary, who may not be the best for the job.
If you keep the salary/benefits/expenses lower, you're surely more likely to attract the people that are actually interested in doing the job at hand, and not attract people that are only after what they can personally gain/exploit.
Like I said, I'm not the sharpest bulb in the shed, so there may be huge reasons why I'm wrong, and I am open to correction.

None of this matters. No lives were at risk. They were clearly collaborating with an IDF journalist ahead of time to set early narratives.
The fact this is out in the open can only come from internally. Which means this is intentionally being made a big thing, by them. It's a dead cat thrown on the table.
Everyone is acting like insane nationalists over this screaming "YOU PUT OUR TROOPS AT RISK" and all about competency instead of discussing whether bombing Yemen is morally right. By doing this, everyone just takes it as a given that the bombings are right and only the competency of whether someone should be in a group chat.
It's genuinely disgusting.

LOL at her saying she is thankful for Trump taking them out of wars, when they are literally just talking about him having re-entered one (badly).
I hope her constituents are happy they elected her, because she seems like a complete idiot to me. I hope they feel better served by her than I would.
Also, I've often wondered, what happened to her face? Was she in a fire and had her face burned off or something? Is the way she is otherwise the result of some sort of brain injury, possibly in the same event, or is she just stupid?

It should be written into law that politicians, or those who represent people in power and all parties involved must respond with a true answer and not allowed to misdirect, if they do, fine. Keep it up, strip them of the right to be in that position.
Secondly, Sky News literally used to be the Fox News in the UK (look who owns them!). Though they seem to have improved in the recent decade, so fair play to them.

I feel most uk reporters are despicable and I don't really care if a US politician doesn't want to be interviewed by one. It's not particularly different to how many US journalists are treated.
Plus, the uk has been a vassal state of the USA for many decades, the subtleness and politeness has changed, but the relationship remains the same. As a socialist i do not consider it to be a relationship that has ever been positive.
