Indeed... so why aren't these xitheads not doing the major exposé themselves on all these topics that are fading into the background? Isn't "social media" supposed to be superior to "mainstream media"/"legacy media" (whatever those terms are supposed to mean) when it comes to coverage of topics? 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually this board that informed me a few moths ago that the main traffic to CNN/CNNi and their respective websites was the rest of the world. Good thing for the Harris campaign, the rest of the world doesn't vote for the US presidency. Seriously? I hate to break it to you, but "the rest of the world" (with the exception of Russia and maybe Israel) thinks you yanks are insane for even considering Bone Spurs a viable candidate. If we could all vote, Harris would completely obliterate Trump. The Dems would have large majorities in the House and Senate too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do, after all, possess about a sixth of the population of the world. Even though his political posturing has made things difficult for the prc at times, it's clear he and his offspring can be bought. That would make things easier for them to deal with than having to figure out who this new person is and how to get her to go their way.

But so far, no outlet has published anything from those leaks, and one Politico journalist is calling out his employer for its decision. In a recent essay for anti-Trump conservative news site the Bulwark, Politico senior writer Marc A. Caputo laid out his case for why the documents are newsworthy and deserving of coverage. He acknowledged that while he isn't privy to conversations among his editors about whether his outlet will eventually publish some of that leaked information, and that while he hasn't personally seen the leaks, there is still tremendous news value in the documents themselves. Caputo noted that the leaked information appears to involve vetting documents for Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) the Trump campaign assembled when considering whether to make the Hillbilly Elegy author the GOP's 2024 vice presidential nominee. He suggested that there is inherent news value in exploring whether Vance's controversial "childless cat ladies" comment was regarded as potentially damaging to Trump's chances of winning back the White House. He added that it was "baffling" to not report on the leaks, arguing that "what a campaign thought about its own vice presidential candidate is inherently newsworthy." ---------------------------- 7 more paragraphs at link 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tariffs only make their product more expensive to sell in the country that they sell them in for the consumers of those goods. It doesn't represent a direct financial cost to the country exporting the goods, and if costs are low enough, the tariff might not even form a significant barrier to entry. The ability to buy his influence would be the key motivator to push him into the driver's seat. Plus erratic as he is, he's a known quantity. But at the end of the day, he can be bought - and that makes problem-solving for the ccp so much easier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 find out what the tariff is supposedly going to be, and raise the price of your product--- might as well pocket the extra money themselves, or most of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can agree to disagree on whether the CCP wants Trump back in office. It doesn't matter if everything is tarrifed at 10% like Trump wants. Here is the difference though, Trump can be bought off and rather easily with some real estate deals or favors that simply would not he possible under Harris. That is a major coup for any authoritarian when it comes to dealing with the US. Edited August 15 by 24K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't believe it would make a big enough difference for them to try and wrangle close to a billion voters into Trump's camp....
