When you listen to Trump talk about Taiwan (or many other topics) it’s the stuff he doesn’t say that is more revealing. Asked about Taiwan he blathers on about how big and strong China is, how tiny Taiwan is, about tariffs and dumb American presidents who didn’t use them. What doesn’t he talk about?
Alliances, obligations, democracy, values, honor, etc.
Keep in mind, if you don’t care whether Trump throws Taiwan under the bus, that wouldn’t be the only betrayal involved. We’d be screwing Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, and Australia too. I’m not saying we should get into a shooting war over Taiwan. I am saying Trump shouldn’t betray our allies, our values, and our national security and national honor just because he’s got a man crush on Xi.
They weren't eating cats and dogs in Springfield, OH.
Aurora CO was not under siege.
The "caravans" magically ceased the moment the polls closed in '18.
And LA isn't even remotely in danger of "burning to the ground."
This is his go-to parlor trick, folks, to divide and distract.
BBC STATEMENT
"The claim the BBC took down a story after reviewing footage is completely wrong. We did not remove any story and we stand by our journalism.
"Our news stories and headlines about Sunday's aid distribution centre incident were updated throughout the day with the latest fatality figures as they came in from various sources. These were always clearly attributed, from the first figure of 15 from medics, through the 31 killed from the Hamas-run health ministry to the final Red Cross statement of ‘at least 21’ at their field hospital. This is totally normal practice on any fast-moving news story.
"Completely separately, a BBC Verify online report on Monday reported a viral video posted on social media was not linked to the aid distribution centre it claimed to show. This video did not run on BBC news channels and had not informed our reporting. Conflating these two stories is simply misleading.
"It is vital to bring people the truth about what is happening in Gaza. International journalists are not currently allowed into Gaza and we would welcome the support of the White House in our call for immediate access."
amidst this nonsensical word salad and fricassee of non sequitors is " cherished" the word he keeps using in respect the the " State" of Canada - but who wants to be cherished by him? Not the Canadians that's for sure
Can we stop BSing ourselves with the pretense that any of this is ok. It is not. It is unhealthy for ALL of us.
Today, Trump signs another EO this time trying to rewrite history claiming the @smithsonian has “come under the influence of a divisive, race-centered ideology” you mean like talking about slavery and the appropriation of Native American lands? That's not an ideology--it's fact. It's history; and no matter how much Trump or MAGA Republicans try to "whitewash" history, sorry, those stains ain't coming out!

Sam Harris on why Hamas is worse than Nazis: “There are many differences between Nazism and jihadism, of course. But they only make the Nazis look relatively benign….Nazis didn’t use their own women and children as human shields.”
Moral clarity.

@RpsAgainstTrump You’re correct but you also enabled him back in 2012 when you were running for president and in 2016 when you wanted to be on his cabinet
Except Georgia isn't doing any of these things and the author just skips past the fact that Trump kept playing these games after exhausting all of his legal remedies in court. It's just a bad faith argument that starts from the absurd assumption Trump did nothing wrong.
