Who would you guess? See the news. Your President. A weak, quitter, defeatist. Can you IMAGINE Trump saying that?!/!?? Yes, the Trump we all just hate. Imagine him saying that.
Something tells me that Xi is Really happy right now. Do y'all ever keep up with the news (I recommend Breitbart), some of your writings seem to not be aware of the goings on. Could one of you at least say "I can't believe that Biden has such a weak view of China". 'What a loser', something like that?

@kewpie saidOK, I will give you that. Do you think a man like trump, who is a man, would say something like that ? And without any concern for diplomacy or couching his words so as not to show his entire hand? This alone should tell you how not smart Biden is in a diplomatic world. And don’t forget your man Obama, who cowtowed and bowed to other heads of state. Y’all better be careful who you’ve got running this country

Trump has given us enough material that we don't have to IMAGINE Trump saying anything. 😛

The post that was quoted here has been removedIn my defense, duchess, the banner on the CNN news cast across the screen said Biden says china will eat our lunch. Maybe I was a little lax and not researching that. I just put out here what I read. Yes there was more to it, but I guess someone else was being selective when they put that on the screen. I will not be admonished!!!!!!😚

@averagejoe1 saidThis is where the whole bizarre business comes from. Journalist types verbatim quote, sub-editor turns it into something attention-grabbing, reader only sees the sub-editor version. Reader thinks he knows the facts, but all he really sees is the headline, no facts.

Another person reads same headline, but knows he's reading a paper famous for its extreme headlines, and reads the whole article to obtain better information.
Due to tiny news grabs, twitter and its ilk, and tiny screens, most readers are no longer receiving reliable information from the various media sources.
I'm a card-carrying sceptic and never ever rely on a headline for anything other than as a clue that a topic is being reported. Either I ignore the headline altogether, such as one on sport or celebrities, or I go to the full article, including any clickable links within the article.
Is this how you do your research, and if not, what method do you use?

@kewpie saidI’m not perfect, you write as if you are? The tv news today are talking heads about the Biden comments. You said I said. Opinion city. What’s a guy to do? We all ferret out the best we can. The NYT today has YET to comment on what came out over night about lies of Cuomo on the nursing homes. All other networks talking about it. A lot of weeds, kewpie.

I saw the banner, China gonna kick our ass’, Biden scares me anyway, I thought I better get that out there to our friends. We need to all be preparing, don’t you know . I didn’t mean to be argumentative, except to say that a real leader would not say something like that. I don’t think I was that wrong .
Edit: Sonhouse says over at pipeline thread, the Wall is not new, it is rebuilt. Please take him to task, as I (me) have read where t is new! Oh Kewpie, please, tell us the secret to life. Be the Oracle.🕴How do we get it straight?
