Peter Schweizer Explains How China Purchased U.S. Congress as a Trade Strategy

Shouldn't the MSM be all up in this?

I mean they keep on, and on, and on, about how concerned they are with the involvement of foreign governments in our politics.

Where are they?

At what point do we demand people like Biden and McConnell just vanish?

I think it was great that people were able to easily detect the deciet and dishonesty of Michael Wolff in Fire and Fury who had already been known as someone who treats facts as convenience when they can support his opinion.

Unless he somehow changed his ways, I wonder if those same people can detect the deciet and dishonesty of Peter Schweizer who is already known as someone who treats facts as convenience when they can support his opinion.

And I wonder if those who mock the use of unnamed sources, and when to as far as say they don't exist, will somehow ignore that he's believed to have made made up sources.

It's unfortunate that there are people who do great investigative journalism. Unfortunately, those aren't usually as tantalizing nor do they perfectly confirm our most emotionally-driven beliefs since reality is usually a bit more boring and rarely confirms those emotionally driven beliefs.

So instead we choose those with questionable credibility whose work almost always ends up tantalizing and confirming pit emotionally driven beliefs. Then we turn around and are outraged and/or flabbergasted when the other side does the same.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Whatever man.

I could just as easily piss all over your guy.

And trust me, your comment alone could take me down that road.

But, you know what? I care more about my country than your opinion.

I’d just like to see the folks we elected, on both sides, start worrying more about their standing with us, the people, than where the next check is cut from.

We’re being played daily. We’re the pawns, the ruses, the fricking mark in their long con.

It’s disgusting.

Whose my guy because I don't like the one in office. I actually thought that he was your guy thought and you were being facetious previously so that's why I used Obama instead.

Well I would sure hope everyone does.

O me too. After the stupid death penalty for drugs dealers ideas was proposed. I was just telling others that Rand and Bernie had cosponsored criminal justice reform before. And this is something that both the Koch Brothers and George Soros seem to share views:

Yet, the legislation be ever seems to get brought through and instead we get "lets execute drug dealers instead."

So I actually agree with you about working together; I just usually think it should be about things that limit our government like criminal justice reform:

Donohue takes-in hundreds of millions in payments from multinational corporations who hold a vested interest in keeping the U.S. manufacturing economy subservient to China. The U.S. CoC then turns those corporate funds into lobbyist payments to DC politicians for legislative action that benefits their Chinese trade deals. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the #1 lobbyist in DC; there are trillions at stake.

The vacuous paragraph I quoted above is the closest thing to an "explanation" that I saw there.

Note that there is no actual explanation of how "China" "purchased" anything. Not so much as a single example of a member of Congress being "purchased". But my favorite is the scary-sounding but meaningless statement that "there are trillions at stake".

I wish this Sundance post contained an actual prediction so I could bump it later. But it was fun anyway.

So, these are your marching orders now?

Don’t lie, they are.

We get ours too.

Honestly, this little game of tit for tat is tiring.

How do we actually start to get our parties to govern again?

Because honestly, I think they’ve both forgotten what their job is, it’s not my ideology vs. your ideology.

It’s how can we fricking get these guys to stop having pissing contests and actually get back to the governing table.

Real talk.

Everyone needs to stop listening to the subterfuge and realize we’re being taken for the long walk to pasture.

Umm, if you take a moment and read the OP you’d understand this corruption is bipartisan.

Now, will you now please help oust Mitch McConnell from the senate for selling out the US to the Chinese?

More often than not, we should want them as far away from that governing table as possible, unless they're trying to downsize the table.

I mean Obama was a great president, from the tee box on 1 to the green on 18. I wish he would have invited all the other politicians so they could have been great too.

Preach it!
