I anticipate Joe will be along shortly. He will say that its the way to turn large fortunes into small ones. But we all know they get free jumps out of the equation.

As far as MAGA trump has already managed to make China first. His trade wars, walls, tariffs have now made America second to China in foreign investment inflows. China has overtaken the US as the world's top destination for new foreign direct investment, according to UN figures released on Sunday. New investments into America from overseas companies fell by almost half last year, leading to the loss of its number one status. In contrast, UN figures show direct investment into Chinese firms climbed 4%, putting it number one globally. The top ranking shows China's growing influence on the world economic stage. Chinese economy 'to overtake US by 2028' China falling short of US trade deal targets(this is trumps much tooted "Phase ! trade deal" China had $163bn (£119bn) in inflows last year, compared to $134bn attracted by the US, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) said in its report In 2019, the US received $251bn in new foreign direct investment while China received $140bn." Thats the damage four years of trumpism has wrought. Investors don't put their money into countries they don't trust.. Worldwide trust of the US has dropped by 17% over the first three years of the trump government

Merck ends development of two potential COVID-19 vaccines "Merck is giving up on two potential COVID-19 vaccines following poor results in early-stage studies. The drugmaker said Monday that it will focus instead on studying two possible treatments for the virus that also have yet to be approved by regulators. The company said its potential vaccines were well tolerated by patients, but they generated an inferior immune system response compared with other vaccines." Still several others in the pipelines(J&J, etc) besides the Russian and Chinese vaccines.

You mean that stuff between the ears?

Shameful, sometimes home-warming gifts just cost money. That is a wealthy area of the country and the residents want to show appropriate revulsion.

The final phrase should be "I became a Nazi".

No, probably shook the hand of a man and then found out afterwards that he was transgender. It could be contagious you know.

Fear Brent ^ Any questions?

trump's infamous goal of "Operation Warp Speed" was 20 million administered vaccine doses before the end of 2020. As at Dec. 30th only 2.1 had been administered. Or 10.5% of its stated objective according to trump's own CDC. So over-promising and under delivering by trump would mesh nicely with how he honored his contracts to repay his business loans. I'm sure if the jumpers at Brent's DZ only paid ten percent of the time he'd be happy to let it pass. Anyone wanna hire him to run your DZ?

Brent is just following his latest news feeds "Recall Newsom effort has ties to far-right movements, including QAnon and virus skeptics. Lets all remember trump couldn't even mention "sleepy Joe" by his real name subsequent to President Biden's landslide victory. Couldn't even admit he lost. So expect his supporters and enablers to scour their news feeds for every mispronounced word President Biden utters.

Brent's sudden feigned interest in fairness and justice in sports is to be applauded. Just as a tiger can't change its stripes. Brent's values never change. I think the IOC, the NFL, NBA, NCAA, can deal with it. As for the nude mud wrestling. Brent's mind doesn't like to be confused by a superior woman athlete overpowering a male.

trump had the opportunity to buy 500 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine for delivery in the second quarter of 2021.Which would have been enough to complete the second vaccinations of every single American.Given the doses of vaccines already purchased. He was too busy getting ready for the election and golfing so he failed to do so. Instead Canada and EU countries bought them up. trump had "multiple offers" for the additional vaccines. Needless to say the trump death clock will run until every American receives their last dose.

On occasion you're on target.

Do you mean gerrymandering,redistricting, voter suppression, robocalling fear techniques, limiting early voting-voting by mail, discouraging registration, registration barriers,etc? Or QAnon? Because as Ron knows already, QAnon is just another form of poll taxes and literacy tests. Whatever it takes to suppress minority votes. Don't forget god endorses these actions because god is white. jakee, I direct your attention to Brent in one of his climate denial threads. I need your help because banging my head against the concrete wall hurts.

Yes Deflection, is important when mental gymnastics, the mascinations of Q and god are in conflict for the underlying personal needs of safety, forgiveness. In other Q style conspiracy news. Texas Supreme Court rejects Alex Jones request to toss lawsuits from Sandy Hook parents

W/O having to check I seem to recall you predicted that.

Yet you started a threadAfrica to build thousands of coal fired power plant Natural Gas Is Booming In Africa Oct 16, 2020 in OilPrice.com a oil industry information service. "With Morocco and Egypt in particular, both countries are increasingly embracing natural gas and renewable energies, and according to reporting by African Business, “it is likely that such big thermal projects will become increasingly rare.” In fact, this is likely not just limited to North Africa but to the entire African continent: “This could be an Africa-wide process in the case of coal, as its forecast rise as an African generation feedstock seems to be fizzling out,” reports African Business. In fact, large-scale coal projects are already being shelved. In Egypt, the construction of the Hamrawein coal-fired plant has been halted, representing just 6.6 GW of a considerable 15.2 GW’s worth of coal projects in Egypt alone that are now cancelled or on indefinite hiatus. The swift move away from coal is occurring in conjunction with the development of gas and renewable projects, and has continued at a brisk clip even as COVID-19 has thrown a wrench into the continent’s transition toward natural gas as a cleaner alternative and effectual stepping stone toward decarbonization." Is there coherent messaging in your climate denial syndrome? Wait...Jakee are you ready to deal with his mismash,mumbo jumbo answer?

People need stories like this. So the 410,000 others can have a proper perspective. There are 410,000 other stories, lessons. The end is in sight, come September more freedom but we have to get there, still some painful memories of lives ended.

Hey! you have to start somewhere.

FIFY The whole world knows that after four years of trump its China with the money. China reported GDP rose 2.3% last year as the world struggled to contain the coronavirus pandemic. Gross domestic product grew by 6.5% in the fourth quarter from a year ago, official data from National Bureau of Statistics showed.

Hey! America sent all its draft dodgers to Canada.and Ron, Brent, etc. were all happy with that.Then the US cancelled the XL pipeline. So Canada has decided to retaliate by exporting all its fascists to the US. As far as Princeton and Harvard goes. Everyone knows that joining the GOP is like getting a lobotomy.

Canada has been getting tough on fascists for a while. This week MP(member of the Canadian Parliament) Derek Sloan a member of the conservative cabinet was booted out. He accepted a donation from a "white nationalist"."During his 15 months as an MP, Sloan has faced accusations he's racist, drawn condemnation for his views on LGBTQ rights and for his anti-abortion stance" Paul Fromm — whose ties to white supremacist and neo-Nazi causes have long been documented — had contributed $131 (that would be $103.60 in real US bucks)to Sloan's leadership campaign. Derek Sloan should be headed stateside shortly to join his GOP brother Mr. Cruz.

A borrower without a lender. Evidently even his money stinks. "A Florida bank announced Thursday that it has closed down former President Trump’s account, joining a growing list of entities that have cut ties with the former president following the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot. In his financial disclosures, Trump had stated he had two money-market accounts with Banks United, The Washington Post reports. The accounts held somewhere between $5.1 million and $25.2 million. “We no longer have any depository relationship with him," said Banks United, without giving reasons for its decision to shutter the accounts."

Judge refuses to dismiss New York AG's lawsuit against NRA Wayne is in serious jeopardy of losing his job. He lost his best advocate in the WH. No more free trips for his whole family to the Bahamas. The N.R.A. Wants to ‘Dump’ Its Regulators via Bankruptcy. Will It Succeed? “It has nothing to do with the N.R.A.’s financial posture, which is very, very strong,” said Bob Barr, a former Republican congressman from Georgia, in a TV interview. “It simply is a legal vehicle to move under protection of federal laws, to escape the abuse by the New York authorities.” The organization’s audacious bankruptcy filing, in which it is not actually claiming to be insolvent, seeks to use the bankruptcy process to circumvent regulators in New York, where the N.R.A. has been chartered for a century and a half. The state’s attorney general, Letitia James, sued the association in August, seeking to shutter it amid claims of mismanagement and corruption. The N.R.A. said in its legal filings that New York officials had long sought to “weaponize the state government’s regulatory powers against it” and that the association now wanted to reincorporate in Texas. But the claims of corruption have not come just from New York, or the political left. They are echoed in accusations leveled by former senior N.R.A. officials, including its onetime president Oliver L. North, some of its own donors and board members who departed amid a civil war within the association." So it wants to lie in court that its insolvent when its not. It wants to "jurisdiction shop" so insiders can continue its corrupt practices.
