Assuming Trump will be around. His cognitive decline has been steep, and he’s just been a convenient vehicle for others to gain power. I wouldn’t be surprised if they invoked the 25th Amendment.

Yeah, angrily jabbing a phone screen realllllyyyy does not have the same satisfaction whatsoever.

I think Xi is counting on the west to be too distracted by Ukraine and Israel to effectively support Taiwan.

Also, speculation on my part - but this feels like the usual posturing/distraction playbook. China’s economy isn’t doing so hot and the government’s bungling of COVID is still fresh in everyone’s minds, so what better way to make people forget about that than to saber rattle?

This sucks. I really liked SmartNews but this explains why it’s been so terrible as of late.

Yeah. It’s a joke given their executive comp is higher than the awarded amount.

I was just amazed that it took him so long to roll out a predatory monetization model…

This is giving me “how do you do, fellow kids” vibes.

I don’t think China has ever even tried to pretend it’s the land of the free.

He’s a giant garbage person.

It’s just kind of pitiful to hear stuff like this about him. All of his actions just reek of desperation of wanting to be respected and liked. He’s so controlling because it seems he’s so insecure.
