Next time maybe Trump should put his balls in a vice to challenge China tariffs and IP theft. About as effective as the previous measures without wrecking the US economy.

Wrecking?

BTW, China's economy is in the tank.

If you think that’s a good thing I’d like to hear why.

That has been Dax’s talking point the entire time. Like, it’s a positive because not only did we shoot our own dicks off we also shot China’s dick off. Basically evens out.

It's not a good thing for it to be completely in the tank.   But unless they feel some pain the status quo is going to be maintained.

The U.S. economy is still very strong, but because SteveDave only knows OrangeMan bad, he thinks the US has shot "its dicks off".

Yeah, it's not like our economy sees any benefit from China being able to purchase US bonds or anything.

Wasn't that largely loans? Are the farmers going to pay us back?

Brownback with a redeemable move regarding bad person China? #blocked by China for calling out human rights violations.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Gosh Phil, that wouldn't be because (for example) much of Europe had double digit drops in GDP.

Also, that fits perfectly into what I was saying about China months ago relative to Covid-19 and intent.

Thanks Phil, that's great data.

Steve and Phil, won't you join me on calling on Joe "Xi's Bitch" Biden to accelerate the re-domestication of geo-strategic manufacturing from China to the United States and for the U.S. gov't to provide incentive for that process?

Also, when you look at what the United States exports and then look at the double digit drops in GDP across the globe (Australia just set an all time record drop in GDP, for example).   This is not the least bit surprising.

Pretty surprised that (2)  :kstategrad: don't understand this.  It gives me pause.

Would those moves stop Trump from being demolished any harder?
