CNN Says 'White Men' are the Biggest Terror Threat in US

[Matnum PI]

It’ll also balance out the White House Gender Policy Council.

Tell me what Biden should do with China. Broad, simple strokes will suffice.

Schedule a port visit in Taiwan for a US Navy guided missile destroyer.

And this will accomplish----what? This will make them stop stealing IP?

You don't care about IP. It confirms our alliance with Taiwan to maintain their independence.

[MDlaxfan76]

Does this have to with this thread topic...?

[a fan]

You don't care about IP.

What a coincidence: neither do you!

And gee whiz golly, Trump managed to "confirm our alliance with Taiwan to maintain their independence" without coming anywhere near Taiwan, Old Salt. Must be that magic letter R again!

Boy, it's going to be great catching the next four years of you trying to invent things to complain about with Biden------while hoping all of your fellow posters forget how you handled the same issues with Trump. (pssst.----none of us have forgotten )

Have fun! I know we will enjoy it!

Yep....that’s what Biden should do because NOW it matters...

If Joltin Joe needs any advice on how to run the country i hope he finds his way over to our humble little forum.

All in good fun....

I can see it now, Biden asks a question around here & ...

~ TLD will post emoji's and youtube clips, followed up with a story about a friend he knows and more questions
~ MLDLAX writes a novel and biden falls asleep while reading it
~ seacoster quotes the NYT as a reply
~ njbill asks for a retainer
~ docB tells him he needs to put AOC and Bernie on it, then asks for Joe's autograph.
~ afan tells him no answers shall be given until he gets his consumption tax

I think you forgot -- a cartoon from Brooklyn.

Never mind. It's not worth trying to have a serious conversation.

I'm not angry at all. Next move in the chess match. You asked what Biden should do next. That's my reply. Given what's been happening in Hong Kong, it would be a good signal from the incoming Biden admin that we continue to support Taiwan's sovereignty as seriously as we did under Trump. A ship visit is quick & easy.

How "seriously" did we support Taiwan during the last 4 years?
Is Taiwan in greater or lesser jeopardy?
Serious question as I suspect you've paid attention...

Right. Because Trump's support for Taiwan was SO serious-----that he came nowhere near Taiwan in Four Years. But you think Biden should start his relations with China by doing what Trump didn't do.

This is your serious answer? Really?

The chess move here is to keep the Trade War going that's royally F'ing American consumers and business......and then pick a fight with China over Taiwan? So move closer to a Cold War?

Pass.

The 7 links above lay it all out. Compare that to what Trump's predecessor's did. They would not even acknowledge Taiwan's existence.
We sent more warships nearer Taiwan & through the Taiwan Strait. We sent a USN support ship into Taiwan for a port visit.
Look how China has reacted. Given what has happened in Hong Kong, imho, Taiwan is in significantly greater danger.

So....Taiwan is in greater danger after Trump's saber rattling...

Trump couldn't help himself this AM in his otherwise reasonable if otherwise overly self congratulatory send off speech. "China virus"..."everyone knows where it came from" "watch out"...

A man sent his girlfriend’s brother a selfie while storming the Capitol, officials say. The brother is a federal agent.


https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2 ... -fee-text/


When Thomas Fee got a text on Jan. 6 from his girlfriend’s brother asking if he was in Washington, he responded with a selfie inside the U.S. Capitol Rotunda as dozens of others who had just stormed the building waved flags behind him, federal officials said.

In one message, Fee wrote he was “at the tip of the spear,” according to a criminal complaint filed Saturday.

But Fee’s girlfriend’s brother wasn’t asking out of simple curiosity — he is a special agent with the State Department. The agent, who isn’t identified in court documents, later turned the evidence over to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force.

Fee, a recently retired New York firefighter with a history of racist complaints, surrendered in Queens on Tuesday morning, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District told the New York Post. He is charged with unlawful entry of the Capitol and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

I have been paying attention. Trump made tiny, tiny steps for Taiwan, careful not to go too big.

But sure, pretend like the President of the United States showing up----in person--- in Taiwan is equivalent to Trump's incremental changes.

Oh, and showing up with a US Destroyer. I forgot about that part of your idea.

Oh yeah, that's the same thing as what Trump did.

Let's return to topic thread...maybe Taiwan over on National Security?

If you listen to that podcast tech linked of the journalist who was there, who has primarily been studying tactics of antifa and anarchist organized violence, he said there were few guns visible, that the paramilitary at the vanguard had appropriated other insurgency tactics ala those he'd been studying, full protective gear, helmets, masks, gas masks etc, and they utilize materials from on site as weapons, eg pipes, flag poles, bricks, leg chairs, whatever they can break off and use. Organized, pre-planned, tactical, using the magnitude of the mob as 'cover'. Eccentrics mixed in and mob dummies of various stripes encouraged to support, given guidance and instruction as they did.
