Oh, btw, don't forget to pay up that legal fee you'll get when you bring the suit. Don't worry, you'll get the money back from China. lol

(31,261 posts)What the rightwing people are failing to realize is that a percentage of people in this country consume wild animals. Could the 1918 pandemic have been started by Hunters in Kansas consuming harvested wildlife?
We should take China to task for being secretive once they first saw the problem, even if they were being secretive because they couldn't get a grip on it and didn't want to look stupid - we can work with them to get a process in place where it is ok to ask for outside help, but trying to sue that country isn't the way to start the development of that process.

(31,261 posts)What people like her are trying to do with the nonsense they are pushing is force democrats to be the adults and stop them. Once democrats step in, republicans can accuse democrats of being soft on China, and republicans will use that in the Fall to smear Biden and democratic officeholders or officeseekers.
