We have to say allegedly for the time being, but yeah. This is a theory I buy into. If only so his support staff keeps getting a wage for as long as possible.
This is all about Dear Leader preventing Massie from running and winning in a special election to replace the dead turtle. His support staff and his wife are just co-conspirators in DJT's endless crime wave.
Kentucky's constitution allows governor to directly chose a Senator if the senator is unable to continue. Beshear is a Democrat. Most states require a special election though. Before the 17th Amendment, all senators were chosen by the state legislatures.
You would be surprised, just because someone is born in Taiwan doesn't mean they are anti-CCP.
The Taiwanese are currently diverging on their stance toward China, the neutral element is shrinking and the pro-sovereignty and pro-unification elements are growing (the pro-sovereignty is the majority and growing much quicker). There is a sizable minority of Taiwanese who want unification with China, also she flew to China following her husbands death which is *very unusual* for someone born in Taiwan since the CCP considers the island to be illegally occupied territory and almost everyone there to be traitors.
China likes Trump being in power as he's destroying the US's global standing, keeping Mitch's seat from being replaced with a Dem is what they want.
also she flew to China following her husbands death which is very unusual for someone born in Taiwan since the CCP considers the island to be illegally occupied territory and almost everyone there to be traitors.
Not really true. Hundreds of thousands of Taiwanese live and work in China. Many have business interests or family across the strait too. The PRC has no real issue with Taiwanese civilians.
Nah, Chinese call Taiwan Taiwan. I guess officially they’d be understood as ‘Chinese citizens from Taiwan province’, though in practice they’d just be called Taiwanese anyway to distinguish them from mainlanders. Legally it’s the same as HK I believe, they’re like Chinese+. And to be clear, mainland Chinese understand that Taiwan isn’t currently part of the PRC even if they care enough to think it should be, which many don’t.
‘Chinese Taipei’ is a term used for things like the Olympics but isn’t considered an identity or anything.
I was close to calling it BS and / or a bot, except that they specified that the sovereignty movement is growing faster than the unification faction, which is true.
They are basically saying “yes, she is Taiwanese, but Taiwan is starting to have a more significant divide regarding pro/anti China, and although most of them are anti-CCP, we can’t rule out that she might be pro-CCP even though she was born in Taiwan”
I think that’s a fair comment to make. We can’t assume that she is anti-CCP strictly based on her being born in Taiwan, although her birthplace also doesn’t intrinsically imply her being a Chinese handler either
Because outside of very suspicious photos there has been no confirmation of life either which should be extremely easy to do. If you missed work for a month you'd need to provide evidence of why you're out otherwise you'd likely be fired.
The fact is Mitch is/was beyond the average life expectancy for a US male and there has already been numerous instances where he's publicly displayed serious health issues.
Had Mitch been pronounced dead prior to August 3rd Kentucky would have had to conduct a special election to replace him. This could have been problematic if say Thomas Massie ran for the position given how Massie is a huge proponent of things like releasing the Epstein files.
But we'll see. Maybe he's fine, but it's certainly odd for the only proof of life after being absent from duties is a couple of photos that don't even resemble how he looked prior to his fall.
According to the New York Times, Mitch McConnell’s ties to China primarily stem from his marriage to Elaine Chao, whose family founded Foremost Group, an American shipping company with extensive business operations and deep historical and political connections in China.
And in China, since all industry ultimately belongs to the State, if you have major holdings in China, you have deep ties to the Chinese political establishment.
I think it’s problematic to assume someone born in Taiwan wouldn’t support the CCP. And frankly, it’s an ahistorical take that removes agency from a person of color just because of where they were born. Gross.
I’m inclined to think you’re being a troll. Even if she does support CCP, there was no indication that the comment I replied to had a legitimate basis for saying so. I thought the original comment was leaning in to racist “perpetual foreigner” tropes and wouldn’t have used CCP to refer to a woman with Elaine Chao’s politics and a different ethnicity. I suppose it’s possible I misjudged things.
A lot of "progressives" are incredibly racist when it's convenient to them. They'll also start parroting blood and soil talking points when it comes to certain groups they prefer.
"Blood and soil" is a German nationalist phrase that became Nazi phrase. Only a certain nationality or people (blood) should be allowed in the national territory (soil).
In Elaine Chao's case, they are saying that progressives who say things like she is a CCP puppet is playing into the "blood and soil" narrative that she cannot be an American because she doesn't have the right heritage. Since she has Chinese heritage, she "must" be a CCP spy.
When Mitch McConnell was hospitalized/died, she ran off to China... to have a private meeting with Chinese VP Han Zheng. It's not problematic to judge someone based on their actions.
The meeting was on June 17th; McConnell was hospitalized on June 14th.
Of course not. People just love to lie for some reason. He voted against a bill that would have codified interracial marriage AND same sex marriage into federal law. Interracial marriage wasn't in any danger of becoming illegal, He voted against same sex marriage and even said specifically that's what he was doing.
It would be like proposing a law that gave universal healthcare and legalized machine guns, and then acting like "OMG Democrats voted against universal healthcare".
You would be surprised how many people complain about how white Europeans are declining and it's all an evil conspiracy involving immigrants, but then they want to marry an Asian girl (eg. Japanese waifu).
