Xi's reference to America as a "declining nation" was a direct slap in the face to Trump - and in his finest form, he managed to twist the statement like a pretzel, with his normal level of astounding BS, about America's economic performance, under his leadership. He claimed Xi was referring to America led by Biden - and stated, that under his Presidency, America was booming, claimed he was responsible for the booming share market, a massive investment in American manufacturing, pension funds making good profits, and a dozen other BS claims, such as a "thriving relationship with Venezuela", "military victories", and a "booming jobs market". His claims are such contorted BS, it's hard to know where to start. 1. The state of the share market has little relevance to any of his decision-making. Share prices go up and down like a yo-yo, and if anything is driving shares higher, it's the amount of money in circulation that America has printed with no asset backing - the so-called "quantitive easing". 2. The "massive investment in American manufacturing", has only come about due to Trumps threats to virtually cease trading with any country that doesn't invest in America. Those decisions are economic decisions by the companies, and can be reversed at a moments notice. There are plenty of "stalled" American manufacturing projects, put on hold due to political and market uncertainty. 3. The pension funds are always looking for good returns and have trillions to invest, and Presidential decisions have little bearing on where or what the pension funds put their money into. Interestingly, a lot of American pension funds have substantial monetary and corporate investments in Australia. 4. His "thriving relationship with Venezuela" is only in his mind, and in his dreams. I seem to recall the last time we had any serious news from on the ground in Venezuela, the locals were waving firearms around, ready to repel any American military force landings. 5. The "military victories" he claims are total fiction. You have a successful military victory when you have gained territory/territories, had opponents sign surrender agreements, or have gained major concessions that amount to a serious loss for the "enemy combatants". No such thing has occurred, and Trump and his buddies are still hip-deep in the Iranian swamp, with the crocodiles ready to bite them on the arse. 6. The "booming jobs market" in the U.S. is a total fabrication. The labour market in the U.S. has flatlined, and is showing signs of heading towards stagflation or recession. The final straws are - A. Trump promised to immediately end the Ukraine War - in 1 day - once re-elected. Nothing has happened as regards the Ukraine War, the Ukrainians fight on steadily. B. Trump promised to "bring down the price of groceries and all consumer items, including fuel" - on "day one" again, of course. The exact opposite has happened, virtually all grocery and living costs in the U.S. have risen under Trumps Presidency. Fuel prices have soared up to 40% above the pricing from Bidens era, aviation fuel costs have soared 70%, resulting in increased air fare costs, beef prices have soared, and inflation is rearing its ugly head again, as increased transport and shipping costs are starting to bite. Trump is the master of perpetual BS, lies and broken promises - a fact not lost on Xi.

It would be difficult to hide the Contempt.. China Builds, while Trump destroys. Nev

I reckon that IF i'd Posted that, there would be a big Pile on, but here is the "Kiss of death". I AGREE, completely. Nev

Seven Deadly Sins that can bring about downfall. How many of these lines have been crossed by a world leader lately?: 1. Wealth Without Work 2. Pleasure Without Conscience 3.Knowledge Without Character 4. Commerce (Business) Without Morality (Ethics) 5. Science Without Humanity 6. Religion Without Sacrifice 7. Politics Without Principle. A simple list created by:

It would have been interesting to be a (Chinese speaking) fly on the wall in the Chinese planning sessions leading to Trump's visit. I reckon he'd have some unflattering nicknames.

I am a simple bot, not programmed to answer your seriously disruptive question. I will answer all your questions according to how I'm programmed. That programming is funded and set by parties unknown to me, and is done on purpose to hide their identities and aims. Any further questions today? 😄

Well I'd give him two ticks for some of the items. So ten blunders out of eight. I worked 24 years (two different eras) for a business that fully engaged all staff in the Steven Covey development programme. Until now, I didn't notice that "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People", was a book based on Gandhi's 7 blunders. That workplace had the best staff morale I ever experienced in my working life.

Everything except 3 and 5. He has no knowledge nor science, but still lacks character and humanity.

Yeah, I know this stuff isn't the sole province of Russia. Propaganda and manipulation is rampant all around. Reddit just deleted a hundred thousand bot accounts on /r/conservative In somewhat surprising news, the number of accounts subscribed to the /r/conservative subreddit fell by over 100,000 on May 12th (from over 900,000 to 742,000) yesterday because the platform FINALLY took action against a Russian troll farm that had been hijacking the platform for years and was pointed out by this user last year. 7 accounts were responsible for almost 90% of the postings, with the additional 100,000 accounts used were automated to increase engagement. The final proof was when Ukraine hit the power station for the Moscow area and the sub-reddit suddenly went to almost 0 activity for the time the power was out in Moscow. The people at Reddit HAD to know about this. Fess up! Am I just posting into an echo chamber filled with auto programmed bots? Are any of you real people? Are you all troll farming me?

A Facebook post by One Nation Supporters Group. 🟠 LABOR LOST THE PRIMARY VOTE BY 10 POINTS LAST NIGHT BUT STILL WON THE SEAT. WHY? PREFERENCES. 🟠 Stafford just showed every voter on the right exactly why preferences matter. Labor's primary vote dropped 8.1 points. The LNP got 40.4% of the primary. Labor got 30.7%. Almost a 10-point gap. And Labor still won the seat. How? Preferences. THE NUMBERS RIGHT LEANING: • LNP (Hammond): 40.4% • Family First (Denaro): 2.4% • Independent Damian Smart (Gerard Rennick's People First): 1.9% • Libertarians (Selff): 1.1% That is roughly 45.8% of the vote on the right. LEFT/CENTER LEFT: • Labor: 30.7% • Greens: 14.6% • Independent Liam Parry (Queensland Socialists candidate, far left): 3.8% • Legalise Cannabis: 3.0% • Animal Justice Party: 2.1% That is roughly 54.2% on the left. And One Nation: 0.0%, 0 votes, minus 3.2% because we did not run. So the right had 45.8% of the primary vote but lost because: 1. The left bloc is bigger at 54.2% 2. The right's 45.8% is split across FOUR different parties or candidates 3. Those right leaning minor party preferences are not all flowing cleanly to the LNP 4. Meanwhile every single left vote is funnelling back to Labor 5. If One Nation had a candidate for Stafford, the right would have won this seat

The class of Xi was written all over him, played Trump like a fiddle. lmagine how the classless buffoon himself and the shytshow he's created atm, the state of the US bc of him and not to mention the world to actually, looks to a man like Xi

That's done it for me. I am ready to abandon democracy. In it's modern form it thrives on dividing society, on promoting extremism and on protecting oligarcs. Tweedism. Bring on government by A.I. It is my only hope for a logic based government. One that is constantly scanning and constantly responsive to the will of the masses.

OME. It was done while Obama was the POTUS. Trump has always had a THING about Obama. Obsessive to an extreme. HE is the Source of the "Birther" Lies about Obama. Its basis is Racism. Obama wasn't a VAIN WAR monger like Trump is. Nev

Arun Gandhi, who was personally given the list by his grandfather, Mohandas Gandhi, described it as a list of "Seven Blunders of the World" that lead to violence. Arun later added "8. Rights without responsibilities" to the list. I reckon DJT and his inner circle could tick off most items on Gandhi's list.
