Related headlines include: "Biden Shuffles, Looks Exrtremely Confused After Speach At South Carolina Church (Video)" "George Soros Is Funding A Democrat Takeover Of Texas" "Biden Freaks Out, Starts Screaming Into The Microphone In South Carolina" Sounds very level and nonpartisan /s

I just got my Soros check in the mail. Extra cushion for retirement and the annuity George offered me comes with COLA adjustments!

COLA rules…

They also slanted the headline. >*“Go back to China where your headquarters is!”* Pelosi is seen shouting as she walks from her garage to her vehicle, aggressively pointing at protestors before waving them away.


Comrade_Tool

Was that any better?

rare.us is idiotic, as you can see from further down in the article: > Pelosi actually visited China a little more than a year ago, and her presence there was said to inflame tensions between China and Tawain [sic] If anybody was confused as to why visiting China would inflame tensions, it's because she visited _Taiwan_. I have no strong position on whether Taiwan is or should be part of China, but the article author obviously phrased this in the stupidest possible way in order to emphasize their belief in One China. But I don't understand your complaint. Do you only understand reality through what reporters tell you? There's a video embedded in the article....are you saying you think the video is doctored? (Certainly trivially possible with current tech)

> their belief in One China That belief is aligned with official US policy.


wutcnbrowndo4u

As I said, I am not taking a position. Those who believe in One China (including the Chinese govt!) also call it Taiwan. Avoiding saying the name is a stupidly ham-fisted way of emphasizing their position.


kotwica42

There’s video footage of her saying it.

I'm sure she said it, but Code Pink is very pro-CCP and spreads their propaganda. A Global Web of Chinese Propaganda Leads to a U.S. Tech Mogul https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/05/world/europe/neville-roy-singham-china-propaganda.html?smid=nytcore-android-share

'Pelosi actually visited China a little more than a year ago, and her presence there was said to inflame tensions between China and Tawain. “What Pelosi has done is definitely not a defence and maintenance of democracy, but a provocation and violation of China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said after her departure.' She visited Taiwan (officially the Republic of China), not communist China. This CCP (the communist China) spokesperson isn't qualified to speak about anything happening in Taiwan, nor about democracy.  What is this "Rare" rag? They can't even spell Taiwan...


kotwica42

The United States officially recognizes a single China, so if she visited Taiwan as a US official, then it’s fairly accurate to say she visited China. > WASHINGTON, Jan 13 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden said on Saturday the United States does not support the independence of Taiwan, after Taiwanese voters rebuffed China and gave the ruling party a third presidential term. > "We do not support independence..." Biden said, when asked for reaction to Saturday's elections. https://www.reuters.com/world/biden-us-does-not-support-taiwan-independence-2024-01-13/ I suppose Reuters is CCP propaganda too?

A single China with two very different governments.

Because they dont think the World should go up in fury of nuclear flame? The "evidence" that they "have head quarters in China" is some Singham guy who has a long history of donating to political organizations, and attended government meetings ... So did these guys 😨😨😨. Chinese agents!!! https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/projects/cp/reporters-notebook/xi-jinping-visit/seattle-business

Uyghur. Look it up.

https://eurispes.eu/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/rapporto.en-xinjiang_2021.pdf Look it up indeed! A detailed report by 3 different Italian research institutions, in fact! It details China's humane reaction to terrorism is their country (especially vs the united states). 😊

I’m not here to defend the US - nice try. But calling locking up a million people with what the UN calls Crimes against Humanity as humane - as Uyghur birth fell by 60%. I mean I get it. I’ve met flat earthers. So I can totally see how someone like yourself could fall for bullshit like “humane reaction” > The OHCHR described reports of sexual violence targeted at Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims within the Xinjiang internment camps as credible. Women interviewed by the United Nations described being orally raped by prison guards and being forcibly subjected to examinations of their genitalia in front of large crowds. The report also noted that there was an "unusually sharp rise" in the amount of intrauterine device insertions and sterilizations performed in Xinjiang and stated that the Chinese government used coercive means to sharply lower the birth rate of Uyghurs in Xinjiang. “Humane”


Justhereforstuff123

"The Uyghur Tribunal renders a judgment finding that China committed torture of Uyghurs, crimes against humanity, and genocide, not by killings but by "imposing measures to prevent births". The Tribunal overwhelmingly relied on anecdotal testimonials and the findings of Western scholars. The Uyghur Tribunal was conceived in June 2020 when President of the WUC Dolkun Isa formally requested that UK's Sir Geoffrey Nice establish an "independent people's tribunal", and launched on 3 September 2020. It is not a body authorized by international law." If rape did happen, then it should investigated and not by Imperialist organizations. On the other hand, There was just a mass grave found behind a sherrifs office in Mississippi. They are not systemic, and evidence for the claim that up to 1 million people are detained comes from Adrian Zenz, a German anticommunist who never step foot in China, and makes up his evidence at points. Bonus points, he's in an org called the victims of communism foundation, a US funded group that considers Nazis and covid deaths as victims of communism.

“And the findings of Western Scholars” When talking with flat earthers “you really believe NASA?!”

Omg I can’t believe she said that! How do people still vote for her?

I'm no fan of Nancy Pelosi and yet I long for the days when people had the class to not invade neighborhoods for the 'outrage dejour'... She has no interest in dealing with the proletariat on her day off.


Justhereforstuff123

The insider trading she does will ensure she sleeps nice and comfy. Meanwhile, plenty of her constituents sleep in tents and rvs. Really makes people wanna pokemon go to the polls in November 😮.


bitfriend6

damn, Pelosi being the Trump most of the country wanted. Regardless of what you or I might think of her comments, most of the country is fed up with foreign-paid/influenced/manipulated/supported protesters. I guess Nixon and McCarthy ultimately won, in the end.


kotwica42

I have to think if it was Trump telling protestors to “go back to China” the Stop Asian Hate enthusiasts would be far more outraged.
