Surely it can't be a coincidence that CIA decided to publish this on International Labor Day. I was reading the Chinese MFA this morning for news updates and it said they were closed for the national holiday.

Also this seems to confirm that there isn't ever going to be tariff negotiations. Why should China do trade negotiations with a country that is trying to install spies?

I considered a possibility that he says that Taiwan is the real Chinese government. It seems too unlikely.

I think it's more likely that he's just lying entirely to save face. He realized that China isn't going to negotiate but the tariffs are hurting the US. So he drops the tariffs and pretends he came to a great deal.

Third possible scenario. He says that he's negotiating with China. Trump doesn't lift the tariffs. He says that China won't come to a deal. US goes into a recession. Trump blames China for the recession.

The first 60 seconds of the 90 second video clip is a woman who is seemingly a factory worker. She laughs and jokes for the duration. She says that it is very unlikely for the factory she works at to be shut down and if it does then she has the skills and education to find a new job.

The next 30 seconds is a bunch of people. One person says that they are search for new clients in different countries. One person says that their company will expand domestic sales. One person says that US consumers will suffer the most from the tariffs. One person says that if China compromises with the US, then the US will make things even worse.

The post says that Yugopnik will be responding to questions posted in the thread on his official twitch stream on April 26. It looks like the leftpol thread is made by a leftypol moderator.

It's kind of like when a 35 year old hears some kids saying "rizz" and then the 35 year old starts saying "rizz" as a joke and then eventually the 35 year old is saying rizz unironically.

They think "oh I'm just being silly and joking" but eventually the culture has influenced them and they don't know why.

spoilerThis is a satirical post. Matt Christman is saying something that a pundit would say to make fun of how out-of-touch pundits are.

Here's the video. He even claims that the conflict of Israel-Palestine has gone on for centuries.

Journalist: Could you tell us about your call with the King of Jordan today please?

Trump: It was a very good call. He's a friend of mine. I know him very well. I've gotten along over the years very well and he's done a wonderful job. He really houses, you know, millions of Palestinians and he does it in a very humane way-- and uh I compliment him on that but he really... Jordan has done an amazing job of housing largely Palestinians and he's done it in a very successful--

Journalist: What was the subject of discussion? Was it-- ?

Trump: Pretty much that I said to him I'd love you to take on more, because I'm looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now and it's a mess it's a real mess.

Journalist: You'd like Jordan to house people from Gaza?

Trump: I'd like him to take people -- I'd like Egypt to take people and meeting with talking to uh General Sisi tomorrow sometime I believe and uh I'd like Egypt to take people and I'd like Jordan to take people. I could-- I mean you're talking about probably a million and a half people and we just clean out that whole thing. It's you know, it's over the centuries that's had many, many conflicts at that site and I don't know it's something has to happen but uh it's-- It's literally a demolition site right now almost everything's demolished and people are dying there. So I'd rather get involved with some of the Arab Nations and build housing at a different location where they can maybe live in peace for change.

Journalist: Temporarily or is it long term?

Trump: Could be either it could be temporarily could be long term go ahead

IGN (Imagine Games Network) is a video game news website. Their whole website is about video game news. They don't post "real issues". It's a video game website.

World of Warcraft did the same thing 2 years ago. Chuds acted outraged for a short period but then they just kept playing the game.

I'm just going to say that iptorrents is the shadiest of shady torrent sites. They've been known to blackmail their users, ie disable random users and demand donations. They have a system of requiring users to seed equal amounts to what you down which is normal, but they also allow people to pay real money to download without seeding, which is very shady.

I was personally a victim of an attack orchestrated by IPTorrents around 2015. IPTorrents has been known to wage attacks on other torrent sites. I was a member of a more respected private torrent site. IPTorrents staff stole the seeds list from the private torrent site I was on and injected them into the public torrent site known as Kickass Torrents. Basically IPT took my home ip address and exposed it to the public in a malicious attack. I was seeding to a very private torrent site without a VPN and IPT maliciously exposed my seeding to the public with the intent of getting me into legal trouble.
