Doesn't she know that this is no worse than the flu?

 

[dawgstudent]

John Morgan or Richard Schwartz?

Heavy Hitter.

Good to see Bobby Rush is recovering from Covid. Gotta get some a dem down home blues

Would Dickey Scruggs still be disbarred if he argued in Bejing?

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

John Morgan or Richard Schwartz?

Alabama's gonna call Alexander Shunnarah

 

[Jeffreauxdawg]

Is there a common sense section on the bar?

[WilCoDawg]

MS isn’t the only state doing this.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

Lots of State’s Attorney Generals are doing this. They know China ain’t gonna pay, but it might make a couple of Chinese supporters in Congress Keep a lower profile so they don’t say something stupid to get themselves included in the suit.****

This is so dumb... Goober conservatism 101.

By a lot, you mean two states. And its just ******** political posturing to no tenable end that is a massive waste of tax payer dollars. That’s pretty much it.

 

[Shmuley]

Attorneys General.

 

[PineGroveBully]

China doesn’t hafta pay, the courts will just seize their US assets, which a report showed yesterday that they are currently trying to buy as much US, Italy, and Spain property and companies as they can for pennies on the dollar. If nothing else it might slow that down if there is a legitimate risk of them losing what they buy.

 

[Shmuley]

My sense is that these suits will be used by the administration to achieve gains in trade. Whatever China "pays" for the damage the mutha17n communist pieces of **** running that place caused to the US will be through trade gains, not litigation. Once the administration wrings out all of the trade gains from the litigation threat, the suits will be thwarted by federal interference.

This is the goal.

And it isn’t 2 states, it is up to 5 and will be more..

And oops. Yes. It is Attorneys General. My mistake.

And I had no idea we had so many Chi-Com sympathizers on sixpack.

What taxpayer $?

 

[DAWG61]

We don't have a single Chi-Com sympathizer on SPS but we do have a couple dozen delusional exaggerators.

If that was the case, the United States AG would be the one filing suit. China doesn’t give half of a 17 about any tiny individual state 25,000 miles away filing suit. And they really aren’t going to care about the US as a whole doing it either, but that would at least have a tiny shred of clout.

What taxpayer money? The tax payer money used to pay the salary of the AG, clerks, secretaries, and other courthouse personnel who are all state employees and all wasting their 17ing time with this collective piss into the wind.

She's an idiot

I think that's probably true, but not because of this. China is going to be handled through political/diplomatic processes but lawsuits against foreign countries is a thing. Not sure there is an applicable exception to the Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act, but it's probably irrelevant. If there is an exception, China is going to be liable for trillions of dollars and they aren't paying trillions of dollars nor are the states going to be allowed to just seize chinese assets in the US. There will be a diplomatic resolution that probably involves Congressional action.

If there is not an applicable exception, these cases will just linger around and there will still be a diplomatic resolution and still probably Congressional action, unless the "resolution" is just a more explicit cold war type relationship with China going forward. I suspect China needs our market enough and there are enough US politicians and media indebted to them that we will reach some sort of formal resolution of the issue though.

 

[Hugh's Burner Phone]

John Morgan or Richard Schwartz?

 

[catvet]

Where we are going to get our economic revenge is in forcing them to write off the trillions they own in US debt. I think it is between 1 and 3 trillion dollars. This and the second round of trade negotiations is going to leave them bloodied.

China is going to flip us the bird and laugh. This **** is political grandstanding. There's nothing to gain but a waste of time and money.

 

[horshack.sixpack]

Please not Schwartz. He sounds like one those "little people" that I can relate to but am most assuredly not one! - signed MorgauhMorga

 

[Misfit]

Is the government of China buying those assets or are private citizens of China buying those assets?

 

[WilCoDawg]

Are you including yourself in that number or not?

I bet you're going to miss your buddy Kim Jong Un.

 

[ClintonInHelen]

I'd hit it...

 

[Digging dog]

Carter Jewelers is about to have a Chinaman Sale.

 

[Dawg1976]

Waste of time and money spent on it.

 

[EAVdog]

Yeah, we're about to sell a lot more Chicken, Soybeans, and Catfish to China.

You must've missed 8dog thanking China for its transparency.
