It’s sad when one’s entire existence is wrapped in winning, whether it’s good for you, bad for your or has no bearing whatsoever.. like racing someone to jump into a den of hungry leopards.. they shout “I won” while being mauled…

It's not so much citing Grok as it is pointing out that Musk's AI, which he wanted to be conservative and has tried many times to tune that way, is showing this. Even his digital children don't like him and his friends.

Same shit happened in Britain with Brexit. Right wingers thought they had all the leverage, because they're fucking clueless, and it turns out the other side just didn't give a fuck about them.

Not only did China not bend the knee, not only is China not the knee-bending type, not only is China a nation with a deep conviction not to EVER bend the knee, but trade is China's game - rest assured they have positioned themselves advantageously as more reliable than the US. For now, they are.

I beg to differ. There was no way they could have foreseen Trump, of course, but the CCP has been working to build a global economy that doesn't involve the US for decades. All Trump did was give them a reason to pull the trigger on it and demonstrate how powerful they've become.

Well done Perkins Coie. Thank you for standing up to the bully in Chief. Regrettably, Paul Weiss, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Washington Post, Columbia University, the Supreme Court, Susan Collins, ABC News, and so many others lack your courage and principles. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/u...

nytimes.comTrump’s Order Targeting Law Firm Perkins Coie Is Unconstitutional, Judge RulesThe decision marked the first time a federal judge permanently blocked the Trump administration from enforcing an order to punish law firms he opposes politically.

They do "need" it as a place to sell stuff to, but there are many other places to sell to... and the US does need those things, for a price that's too low for Americans to manufacture. So it'll probably just be sold to the US anyway, but via some detour/loophole, increasing prices.

Yeah he’s scared. Now he’s trying to be all bold but, it’s like his weak as shit dance move. It’s all childish moves. Even kids dance better than him.

Gunther knows squat China is in a better position than we are for the simple reason they don't need us they would like to trade with us but them and most of the countries can and are making different trading partners.

They have literally so much incentive not to bend the knee. Trump thinks China is sacrificing x amount in trade, but doesn't realise how much soft power and medium to long term trade he is giving away.

They won't. The US is 2.5% of their GDP and has no leverage over China. It only makes the CCP look better when at the end of the year China has continued to grow and the US hasn't. Xi knows it's dumb, they both have capitalist economies and fair trade benefits both countries.

I recently learned some turtles breathe through their cloaca, which shouldn't have been surprising at all since I've known for 9 years that MAGA supporter talk out their ass

Dear Gunther. Just because you're impressed by the least impressive person that sound tough but display his weakness and ineptitude for anyone - except the cultists to see. If he can't bend Canada, why would you think he'd be able to bend the second largest economy? What are you - five?

as a side note, I'm one of those who liked the GoT finale, although my one caveat is that I would have rather have had her die in a fiery blaze than have a bunch of bricks fall on her. I think I really needed a very visual, very visceral ending to her story. She was such a good villain! :)

The problem w/being a white boy in ‘Merica is you get an overinflated sense of yourself & think you’re the center of the universe. Sadly for them that’s not how the world works & we’re in the find out stage. If we take ourselves out, the world will manage.

It isn't a slur when 'being white' is Dump's default position. You can't actually tell me that removing all references, pictures and books on blacks and women's accomplishments, is being done in the name of equality. And he treats the rest of the world as 'not white' in his eyes.

Yes, his behavior is disgusting: while pretending to do otherwise, he clearly sorts people into crude racial/sexual/class/religious groupings including himself. And his opposition to identity politics is limited to those of groups he doesn’t personally identify.

This asshole didn't just bend the knee,,he bent over and gave sphincter boy47 a jar of Vaseline and squealed like the dirty little pig he is,,and didn't even wipe,,maga are just plan disgusting

China is moving their products throughout Europe,Canada, and Mexico. Los Angeles Port authorities have concerns about retailers' limited inventory. Trump is just bluffing,and he knows he is losing against China. finance.yahoo.com/news/port-l-...

finance.yahoo.comPort of L.A. executive director says retailers will soon have only about 7 weeks of full inventories left amid U.S.-China trade war“Nobody wins,” Gene Seroka said. “China is America’s factory.”

Herr Gunther is a delightful not see twit I suspect Herr Gunther will bend both Knees for trump "Goin’ Downstairs for Breakfast " One of many Euphemisms for Rimjob

China's pain tolerance is much higher than it will ever be in the US. They breathe the century of humiliation and will never be ordered to do anything. Schedule the day a US leader orders something stupid and China launches 10,000 missiles at a carrier battle group.

You forget the golden rule: China don't play. In fact, they'd prolong this whole thing just to spite the US pretending they got the upper hand.

It's so weird to think that. They can turn off production for 4 years to US and not even feel it. They have been around for over 3000 years and actually built an effective wall.

Republicans think USA is the only country that likes cheap products. They are so stupid that they also picked tariff fights with the rest of the world, and guess where those other countries are going to find (cheaper) products they want to buy?

Why, China * is more liked than the US right now * isn't acting like a bully * isn't trying to take over other countries * has 1.411 billion people compared to 340 million in the US * isn't dependent on US goods, where the US is dependent on Chinas goods Soon, no one will be trading with the US.

Exactly. China is out filling the void that the US made stopping USAID. They're making new allies with the ones he threw away. They're building factories in countries & making major trade deals that don't include the US. By the time the US gets back control, China will have made massive strides.

This has been a “product” of Chinese policy for decades. Belt and Road, Africa, resource/mining acquisitions/partnerships, loans requiring buying Chinese tech/equipment, land leases/purchases for farming, port development…in other words, similar process to Capitalisms dominance since WW 2.

The delusion to believe American hegemony was real at all, let alone still persists NOW, is just... a level of mathematical illiteracy that probably cannot be corrected. China is the only superpower, and that's only threatening if you're dumb enough to try and lean on them.

China is not a superpower. But neither is the US, which is still clinging to the (soon to be) unaffordable baubles of hegemony, much as every other declining imperial power did. Best case, the world is returning to a multi-polar one: US, Europe, China (not Russia, almost a vassal of China).

I see you breath through your mouth. Probably drool a bit. Do you know what Dunning-Kruger is, asshat? Look it up and do not comment on things you do not understand if that is going to be your reaction.
