    1. WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump signed bipartisan legislation Wednesday aimed at supporting protesters in Hong Kong, ignoring warnings from Beijing that the measure would be met with "strong countermeasures" during a standoff over trade....

    "I signed these bills out of respect for President Xi, China, and the people of Hong Kong," Trump said in a statement. "They are being enacted in the hope that leaders and representatives of China and Hong Kong will be able to amicably settle their differences leading to long term peace and prosperity for all."...

    2. Using the "Psycho" analogy for the signing of the so-called pro-Hong Kong rights bill, the Psycho recovered from his heel injury after three months of recuperation. After leading his victim to an open space outside his castle, he ordered his servants to cuff and shackle the victim's hands and feet for the second phase of the duel.

    Giving his victim a wicked smile, the Psycho said: "Sorry, I have to bind you hand and foot out of respect for you. This will be the duel of the century."

    The victim retorted: "Out of respect for me?! What a joke!"

    The Psycho laughed: "Don't work yourself up over nothing."

    The victim shouted: "According to our agreement, I am allowed to use my legs freely for the second phase of the duel, but you skip to phase four instead."

    The Psycho said: "As far as I can remember, you are supposed to be bound hand and foot for the second phase of the duel. If you think there is any deviation from the truth, there must be something wrong with your ears."

    The victim said: "You have the exceptional talent of telling lies fearlessly in front of a lie detector."

    The Psycho laughed: "How can an honorable man like me tell any lie?"

    The victim replied: "The media have been keeping a huge database of your false or misleading claims since you became the leader of your clan."

    The Psycho exclaimed: "Fake news! Fake news! Fake news everywhere!"

    The victim laughed: "To you, all bad reports about you are fake news."

    The Psycho winked and said: "Keep calm, my friend, keep calm. I have said openly many times that you are 'an incredible guy' and 'a friend of mine'. We shall always be friends, no matter what happens with our dispute.” :smile:

    The victim laughed bitterly: "You are talking with your head in the cloud and your mouth at your very bottom. You have the cheek to call me your friend when you can't even pronounce my name correctly. Whenever you mispronounce my name, you seem to see me as a delicious piece of cheese for breakfast."

    I'm confused with the phsyco analogy. Do you support the legislation?

    I hear the Chinese Democrats in China are hella mad. Watch what happens to Hong Kong because the American Democrats are dying to impose Chinese Democrat style censorship and rule.

    Democrats stand with their Chinese counterparts.

    Watch: Hong Kong Protesters Hold ‘Thanksgiving’ Rally after Trump Signs Support Bills

    Thousands of demonstrators in Hong Kong staged a “Thanksgiving” rally on Thursday evening in response to President Donald Trump signing two bills in support of the city’s pro-democracy movement.
    Demonstrators took to the streets shortly after the president signed the legislation. Some draped themselves in U.S. flags and expressed gratitude for the administration’s support.

    Sad but true.

    Also, I suspect all of those American flags trigger both the Democrat party and the Chinese communists.

    The bill imposes sanctions on Chinese officials that violate human rights (as opposed to sanctining the economy of their people instead).

    It should be noted that these are the same type of sanctions (against individuals rather than the people) used to target corrupt oligarchs in Russia.

    When people protest for freedom they look like Americans. When people protest for tyranny, they look like Democrats.

    How ironic is it that those in Hong Kong are being systematically oppressed and they wave the American flag-while ungrateful and uneducated leftists wave communist flags in the US.

    BTW-this is a shot from the HK "Thanksgiving" protests yesterday...

    Seems to be a pretty vulgar post there. Classy...

    A good sign you are hitting home runs is when people like this try to shout you down with hostile one liners that don't address a thing you say.

    If Democrats aren't giving you these kinda responses, you're not doing good enough.

    It was an act of Congress and the President.

    I'm sure the NBA and Nike are thrilled with Trump right about now. Dollars before freedom and democracy, that describes the NBA and Nike in a nutshell.

    The NBA/Nike Democrats think if you speak out about Hong Kong, you should visit one of the Chinese Democrat education camps and get learned up on the issues.

    They take a knee against the National anthem but do China's bidding.

    They are commie whores.

    These are what freedom fighters look like...but they will have to take their freedom.

    Democrats always deny being Democrats to lend their post credibility. Common tactic.

    It would be like me saying I'm not a Republican.

    Cubed and Margot2 seem to understand the joke and essence of my political satire. Please ask them to explain to you and other readers with confused minds. Meanwhile I thank them for liking my thread and look forward to seeing more posts from them.

    Your the one that posted it and they didnt even post in this thread. I understand if it's hard for you to explain your point because it made no sense.
