Kaya I pity the police sa HK, sa FB makikita mo ay sila ang masama, bihira mo makikita yung mga protesters and aggressors.

ang nangyayari basically the media is portraying China as the evil Galactic Empire and HK protesters as the rebel alliance

Syempre US has to double down on its anti-China rhetoric. I won't be surprised if one of these days China is going to be compared to Nazi Germany.

Tapos pag nakalaya doon pala sa True QC maghasik ng lagim yung mama.

Mga traysikel doon na may sakay na magandang Tsikas eh ihahatid kay meyor rapist-killer?

Do you feel safe?

kaya i don't think there will be a trade deal even if Trump keeps saying talks are ongoing blah blah

China hawks in US govt are in control

Lighthizer, Navarro, Bannon (no longer in the White House)

these people want to weaken China coz they see China as a threat to the US

Si Carrie Lam ba si Darth Vader?

Pero que sino pa karakter niya, obyus na tuta siya ng Tsina.

Di siya pwede mag-decide on her own.

Kelangan sundin niya kung ano sabihin ni Emperor Xi.

Kaya walang tiwala mga tao sa kanya.

Alam nila Emperor Xi is behind all her moves, she can't even resign unless Xi says so.

Lam’s remarks are consistent with a Reuters report published on Friday that revealed how leaders in Beijing are effectively calling the shots on handling the crisis in Hong Kong. The Chinese government rejected a recent proposal by Lam to defuse the conflict that included withdrawing the extradition bill altogether, three people with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters.

I don't care much for the "tsismis" crap. But, during earlier conference calls we tuned in to, some models did show the Sharpie track.

US din kasi ang gumawa ng multo/monster na iyan.... Nakinabang din sila....

The MSM (including most of the left) here are so gullible I quit tuning in to them. Let's face it. There is no real journalism left. Only tabloid crap.

[KingoftheNorth]

So...Americans are not bothered that POTUS willfully and erroneously claimed that DORIAN will hit Alabama? Or that he came out with a statement saying he invited the Taliban to Camp David but canceled because "they sometimes kill people"?

Yeah, mainstream media probably makes that s#it up.

[uls]

the US right now is totally polarized

there's far right and far left

there are no centrists anymore

the US is one impeachment or election result away from civil war

1. There were several computer forecast models that showed Hurricane Dorian tracking enough to the west so that parts of Alabama may have been affected. It's always a guessing game when it came to tropical systems. The CiC cannot influence the actual forecast. But, if he requests the worst case scenario and the computer forecast models supports it? Why not? Also, computer forecast models can vary wildly on each run. So, while we're briefing a forecast based on the old run, other forecasters may be viewing the new run and see something different. Then we'd get a lot of clarifications. It happens all the time. Yet, the MSM conveniently ignores it.

2. The Taliban group that was supposed to hold talks with the Afghan government claimed responsibility for the recent bomb attack. What else was Trump supposed to do? Let the talks continue?

Heck. Back in 2005, our little weather team (actually, I did) forecasted Hurricane Katrina will track much farther west two days earlier than what the National Hurricane Center was saying. But, we were near the West Coast and didn't carry much weight with those on the East Coast. Two days later? Guess what? They said the same thing I was saying at that conference call. I still have that in my yearly performance report and is one of my favorites.

Well this is the thing.

1. Is it just as accurate now for POTUS to show hurricane tracking with a sharpie instead of the actual forecast model? It could have saved him a lot of criticism because he'd be using what the National Weather Bureau uses. Bear in mind, this is a President whose virtue is not telling truths so his credibility is below sea level.

2. I'll answer you with another question: You really expect the Taliban to stop killing people while the US hosts them for peace talks? Get real. They view the US as infidels and a foreign power occupying their country. Prior to that, they've committed various atrocities against their own countrymen to advance their radical Islamist views and consolidate power. THEY WILL NEVER STOP KILLING. Period.

I'm not sure what the circumstances were behind the scenes except the stress levels for the forecasters must have been off the scale. But, have I made real-time changes to my own (projector) Powerpoint slides with a whiteboard and dry-erase markers? Yes. Several times. it didn't look pretty. But, the aircrews I was briefing were going into harm's way. What I briefed can make the difference between them flying safely or getting shot at and crashing into a mountain. I always make sure they have the latest info even if it means shoehorning them in.

It also is still worthwhile to send overtures and attempt talks that may deescalate the conflict. Take Pvt. Berdahl. The Taliban didn't kill him and he was used in that prisoner exchange which also showed the Taliban can deal.

[Jun aka Pekto]

All I want is one international news outlet that is impartial/objective and only reports the news (like the old CNN was back in the 1980's). Nope. Not gonna happen, certainly not with US news outlets. This sucks. I'm dismayed at ratings-driven news outlets.
