Let them trade with China. Let them hate the Chinese as much as they hate the USA. We have more important things to worry about.
It shouldn't be problem if they trade with anyone. Our problem, is making sure the oil trade is settled in dollars.

We have no legitimate authority to seize their assets.
The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW

We can seize Citgo. Oil has traded outside the system in the communist world for decades.

AFAIK it has been priced and traded in dollars.

Rosneft owns 49.9 % of Citgo. What right do we have to seize it, when Venezuela owes Russia billions ?

It has been traded in dollars since the early 1970s officially, unofficially way before that. However, the East Bloc used it in barter. Anyone is free to trade it however they want, but since they need USD for everything else it is hard to deal in anything else.

When they owe Russia billions? Because we can take USA assets and the Russians cannot.

How can a 75 year old woman still
have such a great voice. The asshat
Don Lemon had her on CNN before
the game and asked her if she was
worried it would ruin her career
if she sang at the Super Bowl in
the Trump administration. She
basically laughed at him.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

What on earth does the Superbowl have to do with the Trump administration? We know CNN has TDS but wow!

They had a hell of a time finding anyone half-decent who was willing to do the Halftime show this year. Most singers are boycotting because of the league's treatment of Kaepernick.

Next year they'll probably have to haul in Ted Nugent from whatever local county fairground he's performing at that week...

Again, what has that got to do with Trump? Other than nothing, I mean.

Someone should tell them most of us do not care that Kapernick destroyed his career by acting like an ass. Few would connect someone singing the anthem with it. I find it hard to believe they don't have dozens of potential singers to choose from.

In the tiny mind of CNN, any national
event under Trump is about Trump
and you don't want to be connected
to it.

How far does TDS go?

Trump stated that 1 in 3 women are sexually assaulted on an illegal trip north from Mexico.

Politico "fact checked" it and said "it is only 31%."

Really, this is what the lamestreams are reduced to?
