A German is a foreigner. A Russian, a Finn, a Swede, a Brit et cetera et cetera et cetera ad nauseum. Xenophobia is not racism. Conflating them is a racist tool used to confuse and disrupt constructive discourse on the topic. Shorthand for “be afraid”.

The post Ivreferred to was on Truth Social, not Twitter, and said nothing negative about President Biden.

Xenophobia is not racism. Check your dictionary.

Like I said, angling for a pardon in Biden’s second term.

It ain’t that simple. They own one half of one percent of U.S. farmland. Many foreign companies and investors own farmland here, and a lot more than that. So no, in light of a global economy, it’s not odd. It’s economics. Throwing xenophobia on the issue is just slinging Molotov cocktails thinking it’ll fix everything. [Hidden Content]

Go to Truth Social and see for yourself.

[Hidden Content] Looks like he’s angling for a pardon after Biden gets re-elected.

With another country, maybe, but not an investor from another country. If BMW wants to build a plant in Silsbee, the fed should oversee that? I don’t think so.

A relevant one, for a change.

Unless the group was tied to Taliban or Al Quaeda or other groups designated as terrorize actors by State Dept, or whoever so designates.

I think that would violate the First Anendment, so no.

Probably. Many people have said…..

I thought they were acting on info provided by the Air Force. And yeah, I believe in local control. Funny how things flip over time. Republican mantra used to be local control. Now, they want big brother telling us what to read, how to teach - you know, the stuff local school boards used to have autonomy over.

Maybe if it had about 3 tiers.

Take the easy target, not the one I based my premise on.

I see no problem with legal business transactions. Capital is capital. So what, anyway? When their economy tanks we’ll buy it all back like when Japan cratered.

No comment on Greenspan’s remarks, of course.

[Hidden Content] So what? Look at Trump’s school’s donations.

But Hungary would be cool? Repubs seem to love Orban.

What’s your point?

It was the right thing to do in this case, if in fact the Air Force made that assessment. Otherwise, what happened to the free market, folks? Willing sellers negotiating with willing buyers is the backbone of capitalism. Where do you draw the line? Gonna start a black list of banned nations? Who picks? Blanket bans aren’t good, unless we are at war, and even then it’s testy in a democracy. It’s just a step closer to internment camps.

Would you be playing the same card if Trump was still President? I know he wouldn’t be.

You see the biography on HBO last year? I doubt it.

I am not obedient. I am not virtuous. I don’t know how old you are, but George Carlin got famous when I was about 15. I know what he would be saying about gun control, drugs, the homeless, Black Lives Matter, the immigrant, the Trump debacle, and I don’t think you’d like it. He’d poke fun at Biden and Democrats too, but it wouldn’t be dark

We live on different planets. We should have led the world in pandemic protection (remember American exceptionalism?) Trump though he new more than all the experts combined. That is leadership failure. They just broke ground on a tunnel from NY to NJ. The fed just leased a lot of offshore drilling land. They’re working on upgrading the Alaska pipeline. “Son and big guy…” is conspiracy tripe. He has a plan that is investing $50 billion into domestic chip production. Think what you will. Makes not one whit of difference to me.
