China doesn't need to go to war over Taiwan, any more than we ever needed or intended to go to war over Cuba - especially since what with ICBMs it has no strategic value to either side. It's just one more market and China can easily continue its long, steady absorption and dominance of that market. Hong Kong was a bigger issue, and look how well that turned out for China.
Pelosi is only going to Taiwan to grandstand. Xi is only saber-rattling to grandstand. Win-win for both.
You mean, aside from the fact that we do, every day? We may not need Russian gas, but we can't do without Chinese manufacturing, not even for one day.
If we managed to retool our domestic manufacturing, we'd be in a position to say fuck you to Xi. As it is, every major port in the US is expanding, so as to be able to bring in more goods from East Asia.

Don't kid yourself. This is all about trade. We are hoping, somewhat feebly, to signal to China that there are other manufacturing centers in Asia with low wages.
Not just that. Three things are on the agenda: mutual security, economic partnership and democratic governance. The delegates' committees cover all of those.She's not going to go all that way to talk to leaders and ignore what's going on in the South China Sea, for example.
I thought that Senator Sparklepony was content to lie low and let Houseboat Joe get all the media attention. There certainly were better things to do: visit that winery again, go to France, count the money that has been rolling into her bank accounts, etc. but now she rears her ugly head?
Just give Sinema whatever she needs and get this crap done. She sucks but we have no choice. At least we know Manchins motivations and reasons. Sinema is keeping people who can’t afford insulin in the dark just to get attention. Pass this and she can eff off forever.
I want Pol Pot's chop sticks!
Well, running as a republican and winning are two different things.

Make Arizona BLUE
Isn't Wendy busy shooting her grandchildren? Or does she like Sinema's Fuck Off ring that much?(Art from Medium.com) https://uploads.disquscdn.c...
I think she will vote for it once the carried interest increase is removed.
Dotard the Fleshy FTW.
Also, the OAN host looks like she just got out of senior year volleyball tryouts.

Not everyone with more money than sense wastes their money on cocaine.
That's what THEY don't want you to know!!!!!
Amazon and Exxon don't pay any taxes. If they had to pay a minimum of 15% taxes, that would significantly reduce the debt.
