#1 Luckily, the Biden Administration and their views will soon be relevant only as a defense strategy.

#2 ‘completely contrary to everything America’s about’

George Washington: 'If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.'

A fierce commitment to free speech is a traditional core value of US politics.

Admittedly the entire West, including the US, had been orientalizing itself for several years, adopting the values and principles of polities like China, Russia and the Islamic states.

But that, hopefully, was an aberration and the Trump reelection signals a return to Western normalcy.

Free speech is an asset, not a luxury.

It is our superior error detection and error correction mechanism.

#5 That necklace charm he was wearing, is that a Chinese fashion? Seems I saw a pendent of that design with a Chinese blessing inscribed on it.

I mean, if so, fashion, whatever, lots of people with Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc. fashion. It would just be a very strange thing to wear in what was a highly produced video.

And it was. Totally a Common Person theme with the background, and the (supposedly $900) watch.

As they say in Missouri, Show Me.
