There’s a BeijingBiden website, but Trump seems to have decided not to use this insult in speeches, leaving that meme to surrogates and media bottom-feeders. The meme was important to the Trump campaign in April, but since China “prefers” Biden, no amount of “China Virus” can offset Americans’ awareness of an impending and avoidable quarter-million death…

Kentucky U.S. Senate Candidates Dragging Contest Down Rabbit Hole: China and Rioters Oh My!
No, I am NOT being Chuck “Bothsiderist” Todd, but I need to tell you all about the descent into the rabbit hole that the U.S. Senate race in Kentucky has taken. I’m pulling for Amy McGrath. I really am. But I’m not the only one who has noticed the blatant racism of Moscow MItch and…
Russia and China at Odds Over Trump, Iran Too.
It’s long been obvious that Putin favors Trump and wants to keep him in the White House where he can continue to destroy the United States, both because we’ve been blocking Russia’s ambitions and because Putin wants revenge for the breakup of the Soviet Union and other things we may or may not have done….
MI-Sen: The Daily Beast, “John James' (R) Talks Tough on China While His Family Does Business”
Scott Bixby at The Daily Beast has a great piece out that calls out U.S. Senate candidate, John James (R. MI), for following the GOP playbook to talk tough on China as a way to rile up their base. But of course, like pretty much every GOPer trying to make China an issue, their records…
Peter Navarro: 'We're all tired of this politicization of the China virus'
Peter Navarro, the Trump administration trade adviser whom Jared Kushner found on Amazon.com (the same place I’ve been vainly searching for a one-bedroom tauntaun carcass to hide in for the next four years in case Trump somehow wins again) wants y’all to stop politicizing the, erm, China virus, folks! This morning, he was on Fox &…
State Dept. Officials Break Into China's Houston Consulate
Article 27 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations: 1. In the event of the severance of consular relations between two States: (a) the receiving State shall, even in case of armed conflict, respect and protect the consular premises, together with the property of the consular post and the consular archives; . . . 2….
China May Interfere in Our Election – Against Russia
Two stories on the news tonight: First is that Joe Biden put out a statement tonight warning foreign governments, and Russia in particular, that if they try to interfere with our November election, they will pay a heavy price for doing so. (Assuming Biden wins in spite of their interference.) Second story is that China…
MT, NC & CO-Sen: Democrats Call Out These Fake “China Hawks” Long Business Ties In China
Back in May, I highlighted this story from The Daily Beast about U.S. Senator Steve Daines (R. MT) running on a “tough in China” campaign: Daines’ campaign moved on April 16 to reserve TV ad time for a 30-second spot that alleged, in the words of campaign filings with the Federal Communications Commission: “China is responsible for…
Bolton says Trump told China to “Make sure I win”
Reading the Bolton book is a tough slog. although it is amusing to read how he wanted to settle scores including obliquely allowing Rex Tillerson to call Nikki Haley a c***. If there’s a takeaway so far, it is how badly edited it is, and how absent any consideration of national policy other than pushing…
Having it both ways, Trump signs Uighur sanction on China yet approved of Uighur concentration camps
Trump got stuck dealing with his approval of Uighar concentration camps while also signing their condemnation in the Uighur Human Rights Policy Act. Another screw up like Bunker Boy’s street-clearing stunt, and Trump as usual attacks to divert attention. An angry Trump has spent a number of tweets attacking John Bolton. x Bolton’s book, which is getting…
TX-Sen: “John Cornyn (R) Asks Voters for Cash So He Can Blame Coronavirus on China and Defend Trump”
From the San Antonio Current: believe this is @JohnCornyn's most explicit email yet on this: "CHINA is to blame, NOT President Trump" #TXSEN pic.twitter.com/kw6nptYB9I — Patrick Svitek (@PatrickSvitek) May 16, 2020 A new fundraising email from Sen. John Cornyn confirms that the Texas Republican’s 2020 reelection strategy can be summed up thusly: all in with…
MT-Sen: The Daily Beast, “Daines (R) Abruptly Goes from China Cheerleader to Anti-Beijing Hawk”
Kudos to Lachlan Markay from The Daily Beast for highlighting this: In mid-April, national Republicans urged their Senate candidates to focus their coronavirus messaging on Chinese misdeeds. The day before, Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) had already started buying television ads doing just that. Daines’ campaign moved on April 16 to reserve TV ad time for…
AZ-Sen: Even The National Review Thinks McSally's (R) Bill To Punish China Over COVID-19 Is Stupid
Again, this is from the conservative National Review: Some terrible ideas never go away, especially ideas that help politicians to disguise weakness as strength. One such scheme in the Beltway bag of tricks is the proposal to “punish” a hostile foreign power by allowing it to be sued in court. Senators Marsha Blackburn (R., Tenn.) and…
New Biden Ad “Unprepared” tying Trump to China is the most devastating ad I've seen yet.
Holy cow. This ad was just released in several swing states. I’m definitely Ridin’ with Biden, but even when I was on team Warren I always had to admit Joe had the best ads in the cycle. He knows how to hit Trump where it hurts. The one he did about the world laughing at Trump was so…
Trump, WHO, and China: A Timeline
I often find, in history as well as in current events, that having a timeline can be very useful in sorting out just what happened and when, and for judging claims made later on. It is, unfortunately, impossible to do a full timeline on Trump’s mishandling, misadministration, and maladministration of the Covid-19 pandemic in a…
That was quick, new ad singes tRump's pubic hairs over his China travel ban bull-pucky.
A heath care group allied with the Democratic party has gone for Trump’s jugular in a new ad about how his boasts of how he saved us from a worse pandemic by implementing the Chinese travel ban. They simply weren’t having it. Hope this gets aired on Fox News. You can support Protect Our Care…

Italian COVID-19 death toll passes China's
The death toll in Italy from the coronavirus has overtaken China's in a stark illustration of how the outbreak has pivoted toward Europe and the United States. “Italy has world's second oldest population, 87% of those killed by COVID-19 are over 70”. Italy’s population is 4% of China’s. There will be waves in this pandemic, expected to last 18 months…
TX-Sen: F@#$ing Idiot Blames China For Coronavirus Because “People Eat Bats & Snakes & Dogs”
This fucking idiot is making Ted Cruz look like the smart one: x Sen. John Cornyn: “China is to blame because the culture where people eat bats & snakes & dogs & things like that, these viruses are transmitted from the animal to the people and that's why China has been the source of a…
