Not arguing but amplifying, China was also done in by their xenophobia and racism.

It could have been predicted by a bot designed to describe what would happen in an administration where a college football QB from a southern school is the highest form of life -- untrammeled by laws or mores.

This is pretty wild stuff Johnny McEntee: Trump's Deputy President Exposed by Jon Karl (mediaite.com)

she cray

1. who cares what she thinks? Except...she's got her finger to the wind and saw how Youngkin won.

Yikes this thread over the past two pages.

tee hee

the one they named after Prince Fielder

Trump told RNC chair he was leaving GOP to create new party, says new book - ABC News Been waiting for this one to come out. Lots of quasi nevertrumps citing this coming story.

if we end up with him...I'd be very happy.

hmmm...this is interesting https://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/taiwan-eu-11052021103137.html China: Sorry to scare the shit out of everyone...

When I said "the Buddha" I didn't mean you. :--)

Notice you didn't say the Lions can realistically win a championship.

Sorry folks, no Joel Klaat or Gus Johnson in this game, which features a struggling Michigan squad revved up to take its mediocre football team into Happy Valley to prove to its fans that life is nothing but an exercise in futility. The Buddha taught there are three kinds of dukkha (a form of words for suffering). The first kind is physical and mental pain from the inevitable stresses of life like old age, sickness, and death. The second is the distress we feel as a result of impermanence and change, such as the pain of failing to get what we want and of losing what we hold dear. The third kind of dukkha is a kind of existential suffering, the angst of being human, of living a conditioned existence and being subject to rebirth. On Saturday, Michigan's fans shall know all three. A note about the rankings: USNEWS changed it from #17 a couple weeks ago...what could possibly have shifted it 2 positions? I looked to see where Penn State is considered elite. These are its best ratings per the jokers at USNEWS: #26 in Arts and Humanities #28 in Materials Science (glad my son doesn't know this...he might want to do this field of study and I'd hate for him to go to PSU) #26 in Plant and Animal Science (agriculture I'm guessing) #33 in Space Science (really?) #1 in sending annoying people to work in Washington, DC.

The game was blissfully boring. I knew MSU would steal that game last week. So, When they called the first penalty against Indiana’s OL i knew Michigan had the game

New York Times Pitch Bot would work equally well for the Michigan fanbase

How are y’all gonna spin this one into a defeat?

Armed deterrence in a collective security alliance like that in S. Korea and W. Germany would do nice

Well, that would suck for property value in major metropolitan areas

Again....the core of this thread https://www.defenseone.com/ideas/2021/11/how-war-china-begins/186522/ China is gunning for a democracy which is critical to the World economy and threatens several others which are also critical.

I can't believe they didn't called this...

You know this started because China is threatening a major trading partner of the United States and our regional allies need us to stand up to China. Either we have collective security or hang it all.

I will categorize the US Government position on China lab theory as "the jury is still out"

The public won't see the difference.
