A veteran American diplomat said that Vice-President Mike Pence’s speech accusing China of meddling in US politics was motivated by domestic politics and aimed at "energizing’’ President Donald Trump’s political base for the mid-term elections.
>“The speech recited but did not reconcile the multiple, incoherent elements of the long-building American frustration and exasperation with China. Its review of both Sino-American relations and China's history was laughably inaccurate,” said Freeman.
>“The speech fully reflected the lack of expertise on China in the Trump administration,’’ Freeman said. "It added to the distance between China and the United States rather than attempting to find ways to bridge Sino-American differences.
This speech can also be seen as an attempt to divert public attention from the Russian meddling in American politics. It was designed to appeal to a passionate minority of American xenophobes. It provided no openings for a resolution of Sino-American tensions.
---Freeman served in the US Foreign Service, the state and defense departments and as the US ambassador to Saudi Arabia from 1989 to 1992, where he dealt with the Persian Gulf War. Freeman also was the main interpreter for president Richard Nixon during his 1972 China visit.
So I've been thinking about the brazilian elections, how many of the other parties that ran were socialist/ left leaning? is it possible that if everyone who voted for those other guys voted for Bolsonaro's opponent, he could lose?
Samuel Smith
The woman that confronted Flake on the elevator works for an organization that is funded by George Soros. Objectively, this is true and she even admits it.
Parker Stewart
If Trump wins AZ, Kyl will also win the Senate race. CO is the most endangered state.
Holy fuck I'd vote for him. He's unironically /oneofus/ god damn
Kayden Wright
Tweet fucking Joe and Mika this shit and tell them to be honest and stop lying.
Jaxson Martin
If everything goes as it should (read: no fraud), Bolsonaro is going to win with 55-56% of the vote The seat will be open, Kyl already stated that he won't run
Pakman is the biggest shill in the world. Hard bastard sometimes reviews his show during livestreams he's really insufferable.
Grayson Brooks
This is the first time in 80 years that the Supreme court ISN'T majority liberal/progressive. And Democrats controlled the House for 60 years straight.
This is literally the first time in history that Republicans control everything. Them crying about it is so disingenuous.
Sebastian Cooper
Is Moluch and the wall street journal /our guys/
Brandon Torres
We really won't have anything to worry about until reelection but that's pretty much a guarantee he'll win since the democrats have an awful line up for 2020
Kevin Green
>I never hit my ex-wife. But many times I wanted to shoot her. >I am in favor of a dictatorship. >Pinochet should have killed more people. >You'll change nothing in this country by voting; absolutly nothing. You'll change something, unhappily, when we go into a civil war here someday and do a work the military regime didn't, killing as much as 30 thousand people, starting with FHC. It's all right if some innocent people die. Innocent people die in many wars. >The Military Police should have killed 1,000 rather than 111 prisoners in the Carandiru massacre. >I defend torture. A drug dealer who acts on the streets against our children must to be immediately put on a pau-de-arara. There would be no human right in this case. There would be pau-de-arara, beating. The same thing for kidnappers. The guy must to be broken to open his mouth. >I think execution by firing squad is even an honorable thing to certain people. >I will not fight against it nor discriminate, but if I see two men kissing on the street, I'll beat them up. >The only mistake of the dictatorship was torturing and not killing. >If one's son begins acting kind of gay, then when he is spanked he'll change his behavior. >It's a mess. The next steps are the adoption of children and the legalization of pedophilia. Alright, this guy definitely posts here. He's on a level of based I didn't think was even possible.
>these creatures were allowed to fester for this long

I'm not talking about Trump winning I'm talking about transcending democrat sabotage and overthrowing the jews.
Charles Ward
The WSJ is a mixed bag, or maybe we can say "balanced".
Isaac Adams
I wonder what the 26 comments are under the Democrats in the Senate race >b-blue wave will make the Senate flip, just wait and see
Logan Clark
WSJ are corporate shills, so no There are no /ourguys/ in the Lugenpresse
Matthew Hernandez
>"Hi, I'm the guy that helped start the problem we're having today" >"You guys don't know anything about dear China" Fuck that fag.
Jason Gray
haha even the markets are less sure of the house than Nate Silver. The market gave Trump 1/3 chance to win, pretty much the same as they give the house now. Smarter than pundits.
Charles Parker
We won't be in Hell, but all of your kind will be; whether you believe in Hell or not.
> how many of the other parties that ran were socialist/ left leaning? Most of them. That said even the voters of the two spoiler on the right with 2% and 1% would put Bolsonaro ahead. > is it possible that if everyone who voted for those other guys voted for Bolsonaro's opponent, he could lose? Obviously yes, considering Bolsonaro didn't make 50%. That said 1) never in Brazilian history the first round winner failed to become president 2) Bolsonaro opponent has a higher rejection than Bolsonaro himself
Aaron Allen
Dem shills are still counting on blue Tennessee and/or Texas
> Then you need another politician with name recognition. Former governor Jan Brewer
Easton Richardson
also the fact that every right winger in Brazil will vote since its the first time to elect their guy in a generation, but some leftits will be blackpilled and not bother, which also reduce how many votes he needs to find.
While TX is still closer than expected for now, Cruz has a solid lead and Hispanic turnout isn't showing any sign of going up. On another note, here's what Nate Cohn has to say about the House situation. twitter.com/Nate_Cohn/status/1048996103520243713
Basically, what my own map says: Dems have more safe seats but Republicans control like 90% of the lean/tilt seats.
>The people who want freedom and prosperity for all Americans will burn in hell. >The people who want to enslave Americans for globalist elites and corporations, who have destroyed nations, spread diseases and want to commit genocide against an entire race of people acting like they are morally righteous.
Telling conservatives to burn in hell, but you don't believe in god yourselves.
Gabriel Russell
I placed bets a week before the election after the Comey bullshit and it was 1 chance out of 3. Maybe it dropped when comey came back to clear clinton
Lucas Ramirez
>jews are evil >jesus is good >jesus was a jew >magnets
How much power does a Brazilian President have anyway?
Sebastian Johnson
It's amazing that Nate Plastic has any influence at all. He's just wrong every time. He starts at a conclusion and then looks for data to support it. When he can't find that data he "unskews it"(makes it up).
Easton Baker
fuck i forgot to bet when it was still good
i've been confident since 2016 we were gonna take this
Logan Bennett
Jesus was told like all jews they wuz chosen by god n shieet but he got suspicious at the baby blood dick sucking and the temple being a money changing center.
Jose Jones
>4hillary >Still using that account Oh man this made me sad. It's like when somebodies friend dies and they still have that profile pic where they're hanging out up years later. :(
Noah Roberts
The democrat party is dead!
Every time an invading criminal alien is deported they lose another voter.
Every time a felon goes to prison they lose a voter.
Every time they attack the Trump Agenda, they lose a ton of voters.
Every time one of their leaders opens their mouth they lose more voters.
All Republican voters have ever wanted from their elected officials is to grow a fucking spine and stand up to the Democrats. Fuck working with them, fuck compromise, tell them to get fucked and pass your agenda you promised. The Kavanaugh nomination was the first time in a very, very long time this has happened. All those retards in the media who think this will backfire on the Republicans have no clue what's coming. Republicans will gain Senate seats and hold on to the House.
