There is no US base in Taiwan, but I do agree that the US has major presences all over the world.
Right.
China could set up bases or whatever on 10 other countries and it would be extremely hypocritical if we freaked out about it.

The Chinese in Cuba thing is interesting in terms of media coverage.  One outlet presents it as major calamity.  Others note they've had an intelligence operation there for several years.  None of them have any real details, or explain why this is a travesty that must somehow be stopped.

China plans a new military training facility in Cuba, Wall Street Journal reports | Reuters

June 20 (Reuters) - China and Cuba are negotiating to establish a new joint military training facility on the island, sparking alarm in the U.S. that it could lead to the stationing of Chinese troops and other security operations just 100 miles off Florida's coast, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday citing current and former U.S officials.

Bogus plea deal.

Would like to know how a crackhead made $1.5 Million. I'd like to think we all would like to know.

How insane is it that the president's own kid gets prosecuted and Republicans are clamoring for harsher penalties for low level tax and gun violations?

How insane is it that the President’s son plea deals his way on tax evasion and illegal weapons charges , and the media and Democrats are celebrating?
What does that say about our country?

Even more insane is that the investigation took 6 years.

OK, moving on.

Now, do the laptop, DOJ. FBI has had it for 30 months. It's time.

Hunter is sort of the right's version of Trump, where the list of his crimes is only limited by their imagination.

You can't deny there is some pretty damning stuff on that device. You also can't deny it was falsely labeled as Russian disinformation prior to 11/2020.

Sort of the opposite actually. In one case the pursuit of anything, and even to the extent of making things up- by the media and weaponized DOJ, FBI and politicians from the opposing party, have gone on endlessly for well over 7 years.  And, at cost of millions.  The now clearly debunked Russia Russia thing alone cost over 35mil.  

In the other case, hard physical evidence- that NOBODY was looking for, turned up in public.  That same media, DOJ and FBI worked furiously to not pursue it and keep it from the public eye. And you know that.
