BEIJING (AP) — China on Wednesday slammed a lawsuit brought against it by the U.S. state of Missouri over the coronavirus pandemic as “very absurd.”
It is absurd and it’s going nowhere. That was not the purpose of it. The lawsuit is a show for the rubes. Something to keep eyes off Trump where the real failure is.
Ha! As if the modern GOP cares a whit about legality and such stuff. Textbook display of “show 'em yellerds we hate 'em!” from a red state with a shit governor. I fully expect at least a dozen more of these, each more bombastic than the previous.
Schmitt is wasting the taxpayers money by even talking. Whether or not China erred, this is political gaslighting, and this is concerted effort to protect Trump AND the Republicans from further erosion. Given the number of deaths in Missouri to date, if the Trumpet machine staffed by Schmitt opens up businesses without adequate protections and health before wealth thoughts, he could well be responsible for more deaths. Bring a lawsuit against Schmitt?
Dumbsh*ts grandstanding.
…despite reports that worries over political stability were placed above public health concerns.
Yep. If the argument is based on putting politics before health, they’ve got the current administration dead to rights. And, there’d be some chance of the lawsuit gaining ground, as opposed to offering ‘Paycheck Protection’ to the lawyers in the state DA’s office.
Schmitt said the Chinese government lied about the dangers of the virus and didn’t do enough to slow its spread.
Hey Schmitty…You want to sue somebody? The Chinese government Trump crime family lied about the dangers of the virus and didn’t do enough to slow its spread. Please proceed accordingly.
If I were any Republican, I wouldn’t mention COVID at all.
COVID is going to mention them in the coming months into 2021.
BEIJING (AP) — China on Wednesday slammed a lawsuit brought against it by the U.S. state of Missouri over the coronavirus pandemic as “very absurd.”
Well, there is someplace in Missouri that is very Peculiar. If they wanted Normal, then go the fuck to Illinois.
Attorney General Eric Schmitt should have said Trump lied about the dangers of the virus and didn’t do enough to slow its spread.
Will China request discovery in this lawsuit?
Attorney General Eric Schmitt said the
ChineseUS government lied about the dangers of the virus and didn’t do enough to slow its spread.
He can have a better case there, It’s a lot easier to prove (just go ov er through Trump tweets and speeches) and besides the US cannot claim sovereign immunity .
There is a reason to fly over these states.
Absolutely right
Why do they keep trying to piss off the country that makes a vast majority of our medical supplies? China could easily sell that stuff to other countries and still make a tidy profit.
If the Missouri AG wants to go after a liar, a late reporter, a person encouraging non compliance with best practices go after Trump.
China also supplies the US with a lot, or even most, of the rare metals that are needed in high tech devices.
I do not think that they are under any obligation to see that you can buy the latest iPod. At least at a reasonable price.
I love how Republicans can never look past their belly button.
I’m sure the Missouri AG and others filing this suit spent a good part of their careers decrying international law the Hague and the U.N. Maybe they would have some chance of having their case heard if they worked within these institutions.
I once thought Missouri was the ‘show me’ state…a bastion of common sense…Trumanesque, if you will. I suppose stupid has spread even there…there’s something almost virus-like about the spread of stupid.
