    That's great, but where's the bill for Catalonia and all the other countries fighting for independence?

    Funny how the LW was 100% mobilized against South African apartheid years ago, but are silent on the much more repressive ChiComs.

    Catalonia isn't the victim of massive, systemic human rights violations.

    In the current climate of the political partisan divide in the united states, how did this legislation ever make it out of congress and to the desk of Donald Trump?

    They were hoping Trump wouldn't sign it and they could embarrass him.

    it was a veiled, yet weak attempt to disparage trump (the psycho) while praising the communists (the victims)...

    it does, however, highlight the democratic parties desire of totalitarianism...

    I applaud this guy signing the Pro Hong Konger bill. Not that much which we agree on but this one is fine with me. In fact more that fine I absolutely endorse it.

    Would you support massive tariffs on the Chinese Democrats in the name of global warming or do you just give them a pass.

    Who do people think they to doubt what any of us say we are or are not politically.
    I also find those people's posts despicable who accuse us Veterans of not being ja veteran because they disagree with us politically.

    I wouldn't trust a Democrat to defend my nation from Democrats around the world. I would think they would use their position in the US forces to backstab and betray the US to help their fellow Democrats.

    Since there is an infinitesimal amount of Chinese "Democrats " they are not in power and they are concentrated in Hong Kong. So to impose massive tariffs on Chinese Democrats one would have to isolate those tariffs to Hong Kong.Furthermore it would be impossible to impose tariffs on Hong Kong alone since it is basically part of China.

    By Democrats I mean communist. Plenty of them in China. Why not demand tarrifs on China till they clean up their act? Is the war on global warming only being faught against Americans?

    What a twisted and inaccurate or maybe ignorant conclusion or accusation of what democratic principles are. As a matter of fact democracy and totalrianism are by definition opposite political systems. But you have to know that and must be attempting to smear the US Democratic Party. Well don't bother because only the hard core Trumpniks think like that and they already love them some Trump.
    The rest of the American population are usually intelligent enough not to fall for Fox or Brietbartian lies so you are wasting your time.

    Referring to Communists as democrats or Democrats is not an honest, adult,intellectual or logical way of debating or discussing the issue. Hense post that contain such tactics are not deserving respect of debate. Such posts only deserve derision.

    Nomatter what communist call themselves they are still communist. It's like antifa calling themselves anti fascist while they run around with mask on beating up people they disagree with.
