Deflecting criticism about the detention of large numbers of Uighurs and other minorities in large camps in China on Sunday, a Chinese diplomat based in Islamabad, Pakistan, posted a series of unusually aggressive tweets about Washington, D.C. and American politics writ-large, at one point calling former National Security Adviser Susan Rice “shockingly ignorant.”
Fuck you and fuck off. Hope Taiwan makes good use of the toys we’re giving them to roast your asses if you ever try to go in.
Luvs,
America
We have lost our moral high ground for years to come.
Has the whole world gone crazy? No. They’re just following Donald Trump’s lead, unintended consequences and all that. This is what happens when America repudiates it’s long-standing role as the moral beacon (rightly or wrongly) of the world.
We have absolutely no moral leadership as this weekend amply demonstrated, and wonder why other countries are acting out? Have we held KSA to account for Khashoggi’s murder yet?
I was wondering what did this remind me of and then I remembered that the Nigerian government cited a Trump tweet about the border.
That incident happened on Haley and Pompeo’s watch.
Next person to use to the now-dead-and-untrue “leader of the free world” to refer to a US POTUS should be kicked in the throat.
Remember this morning when TPM posted a story about Joe Scarborough tearfully begging Mitt Romney and Ben Sasse to valiantly speak out against that mean old Trump? Well, Marvelous Media Moderate Mittens, the politician beloved by Moanin’ Joe and the Never Trumpers as the politician they wish they had instead of Trump because he could do all of the horrendous things they love that Trump is doing but wouldn’t make them look like the assholes they really are for supporting these policies and practices because it is easier to put lipstick on a pig like Romeny than lipstick on a pig like Trump, has finally said a few words on this matter, and he shows his true colors, which are, of course, 50 shades of white:
Still a piece of shit, Mitt. And a 100% piece, not 47%.
Nope and it’s one of the few issues that I can’t blame Lindsey Graham for.
Why not? He could do the Lysistrata bit with Trump to get him to do something about it…
Though he still has the moral high ground, cause he still want to retain his government job, his answer will be, “well I tried, but the president…”
My first thought: “Here it comes, folks.”
My second: I wonder what that “Après nous, le déluge” stuff was all about anyway?

Today in Higher Ground
Yes, indeed, because we need more bloodshed. Trumpism is spreading to our ranks too, I see.
Off topic and just breaking on CNN.
Assange was directly in the loop with the GRU and released hacked materials directly from the Ecuadorian Embassy. Why Ecuador allowed him this level of freedom is befuddling.
Certainly raises interesting questions for Mueller next week.
That’s not fucking Trumpism. Trumpism is to run and hide and not stand up for our allies.
Real Americans want America to defend our allies.
Thanks for the link, dommy. I observed Romney’s gubernatorial besmirching of my native state from across the border in New Hampshire. This really highlights just what a fucking spineless lickspittle he is.
Just once, wouldn’t it be nice to watch a reporter get an answer like that and just sort of have an episode of lost control and say something along the lines of “my god are you a pussy.”
Honestly, I wonder what Romney’s been notified of that they have on him.
It’s great that the world’s largest torturer and polluter after North Korea can talk smack about the United States because we’re all big schoolyard bullies now. Refreshing. Thank you Republicans.
Shorter Romney: Trump wouldn’t be a racist if you all weren’t so female and non-European looking.
I blame the magic underwear (and Joe Smith’s musings on the Mark of Cain and the place of women in society).
