#1 Too many generations separated from events who now don't know that it was Biden's party that cut military aid to South Vietnam after the withdraw. Thus, setting up the conquest of the south.

#2 Those claims are contested by progressives, who assert it is Trump who has strengthened China and that Biden has had complicated but ultimately critical positions on that communist country

WTF?
Not satire?
Who actually believes this?

#3 it is Trump who has strengthened Chin

#4 There you go again, getting all hung up on facts and logic. Progressives feelz that way, so no further inquiry is permitted.

The older Vietnamese, at least, possess an incredibly valuable piece of information, i.e., what it's like to lose a war. They should regularly speak at the service academies, not that anyone would listen.

#8 Also, the 1996-99 TV series Millenium was set in Seattle and as you would expect of a Chris Carter job, it was about lots of whackos...

#10 Thing, yeah, that movie was 30 years ago. If they remake it now (God forbid) they would cast a non-binary individual named Butch in place of Ms. Pfeiffer. (I threw up a little bit just imagining that.)
