    That's the really odd thing. I could have never imagined 46 years ago when I was a kid watching those hostages being led out of the embassy in blindfolds that I would one day have sympathy for I-freakin'-ran. Yet, here we are.

    Thanks, Trump.

    LOL, a CNN poll. That's like believing an SPLC-funded "hate rally".

    Poll investors instead -- that's the true unbiased test -- investors are loving Trump! Stock market at all time highs -- liberals punching air!


    GOOD DAY

    Posting politicized economic data like consumer sentiment polls is basically just a Democrat vs Republican questionnaire. Smart investors consider it worthless. The real test of confidence is investment levels, inflation levels, and the health of the stock market -- and Trump is rocking and rolling on all three. That should be great news, as it lifts quality of life for millions -- but not when you are an angry liberal rooting for economic catastrophe!

    I'm sorry you missed out on the JUICY GAINZ in the stock market because of your TDS! I can assure you that I capitalized. I am, after all, an industrialist. Remind me your profession, ah yes, farmacéutico?

    GOOD DAY

    Trump's moronic Israel First and Enrich My Family First is so destructive for America. It is, however, just stupid to think in terms of this stopping China from taking over Taiwan. Like Russia and China I am not happy with their lack of personal freedom, particularly their lack of free speech-- just like I hate the growing crimnalization of free speech in this country, especially with respect to the Zionist mess in Israel. However, we can't just go killing or fighting wars against countries with undesirable levels of personal freedoms.

    1) We can't militarily win a war right off China's coast. Wake up! 2). It won't be necessary as Taiwan will be absorbed peacefully. More and more of the Taiwanese are going to want to join China --or at least be unwilling to die in a totally hopeless losing war. This will be increasingly true as as China becomes increasingly as modern and prosperous as Taiwan. Every year the number of Taiwanese travelling to China is increasing. I know a person from Taiwan in Houston whose family had a happy family reunion visit with the aunts and uncles who did not manage to escape to Taiwan when Chiang Kai-Shek left China.

    This post is bizarre. i understand not agreeing with Trump on how he is handling the situation, but to have sympathy for a murderous regime because it goes against your political party's alignment? Im sure if Trump was president during WWII, you'd support hitler too. Party over Country

    Chinese / Taiwanese can be many things, stupid they aare not.
    there is way too much economic inter-dependence between the two; re-unification is the most pragmatic option,

    rising # of young Taiwanese enterpreneurs and Taiwanese retirees have been relocating to China

    Hong Kong is a vivid example of why Taiwanese people never want to join China.

    China is not going to violently take over Taiwan. That is an overblown fear. Now, if China were led by someone with a more impulsive, aggressively expansionist style of decision-making like Trump, then that fear would be 100% valid.

    the basics were extremely clear. Poster has sympathy for a regime that goes completely against liberal standards. They hate the gays and all liberals. They murderer dissent's. They openly state they will use nuclear weapons.

    so why do liberals support this regime? Party over country. They would rather watch the world burn before admitting their party is psychotic

    Trump canceled travel plans for Witkoff and Kushner’s trip to Pakistan for peace talks. He blamed Iran, saying they have infighting and no leadership, and that it would be a waste of time. More likely, the Iranians had already left before negotiations and refused talks with those two idiots.

    Yep. Yesterday Iran said you're fired and today Trump said, no, I quit.
