No wonder you seem fouled up between the ears. Knowing you watch CNN makes me feel smart. Joe Biden look smart..?? That isn't even possible... Unless you watch CNN....

MENSA? More likely the sister organization geared to those who could not quite measure up to Mensa standards. It's called Densa.
Liberal pseudo-intellectuals provide me with a continuous source of amusement. Every time I do or say something I think is kind of stupid, all I have to do is read one of the Liberal diatribes here on OPP and I realize I'm not so bad.
What is even funnier is that I was born in the Smoky Mountains. The quintessential hillbilly, whose education is considerably better than most of the southpaw polymath poseurs whose sole claim to cerebral superiority seems to lie in their ability to parrot what someone else figured out.
Have you noticed that the typical Liberal "intellectual" is as casual with other peoples' intellectual property as their less than erudite "colleagues" are with other peoples' money?

Talk about a poseur! Physician, heal thyself.

You wrote, "China doesn't have a prayer in the trade war." No, not anymore. Under G.W. Bush, the trade war with China began moving in China's favor, but still the US was well ahead. Under Obama, the trade war ratcheted up with our side surrendering more and more of our advantage to China until it looked like we would lose it completely. Now the balance is rapidly shifting back to a strong USA. Unless there is a drastic change, we will not lose to China.

China will lose quickly in the trade war.
We buy their toys.
China buys our food.
Who's going to get hungry first?

China's not buying our food anymore. It's American farmers who are starving.

You wrote, "...who takes the freedom of choice away from the people, I don't know one American from the left or the right who would want that to happen."

What about all the Americans who favor elimination of our 1st Amendment, or even the entire Bill of Rights and some Articles or clauses in our constitution? This runs the gamut from political correctness, to shouting down those whose speech you don't approve of, to violently attacking those whose ideologies you don't approve of. And when someone who does not have an opposing view is beaten up because they just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time; it is shrugged off.

Analyzing the General Social Survey (which is a survey the left approves of given to college students from coast to coast) finds that even though students answered they were in favor of allowing a public speech by a controversial speaker, such as a communist or a militant atheist, among all respondents with college experience, majorities of Democrats believed that speakers expressing offensive or controversial views should not be allowed to give a talk on their campus even if invited. Sizable minorities of Republicans agreed. In other words, speech advocating communism or militant reaction against those who don't agree with the accepted narrative of the left; are not offensive.

So these Americans are in favor of giving up their first Amendment rights to be dictated by their leadership on what speech is to be permitted.

JoyV

Even if you were correct (In other words correct in Constitutionalists and conservatives being crazies), what about Obama FULLY legitimizing those in favor of dismantling our constitution?

Brazil can't meet China's needs for Soy beans.
China is starving, the American farmers are subsidized.

JoyV

Not true.

But even without the figures, where would China get enough food to feed their populous if the didn't import it from us. What other country produces more surplus food to be able to export in such high amounts for such low cost. And yes even with the tariffs, the cost of our food exports are still low.

Oh get a clue. Mainland Chinese will do or eat whatever Chairman Xi tells them to, or be sent to re-education camps.
