...what in the heck is that. Its so overengineered one can barely appreciate the person underneath.

It is objectively bad and I think even an American nationalist would think so too.

Surely they could have done something much more muted and with a theme that still portrays their better achievements. Like Silicon Valley themed with bits of LED or holographic lights subtly included inside, sending a message of modernity and futurism.

Something we know they aren't, but which they want to look like they are.

Moon landing and poorly executed at that just screams "has been" power, with the 60s inspired decor completing the unfortunate look. This is likely the complete opposite of what the American government wants to look like.

All Pakistani elites have hollowed out their country's resources and enriched themselves by buying properties/stashing cash in Western countries chiefly the UK & US. Sorry state of affairs. China needs an economically and militarily strong & politically stable Pakistan not the mess they currently are. Imran Khan was a competent PM but he was couped by corrupt cabal loyal to Uncle Sam.

This gas stove thing is escalating.

Tons of people also have water heaters, oven pilot and furnace pilot with gas burning all the time.

Anyone want to become a law enforcement officer (not police) in California?

Apparently, you no longer have to be a US citizen or have applied for citizenship to become a law enforcement officer.

Existing law establishes the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training within the Department of Justice to perform various functions involving the training of peace officers. Existing law requires peace officers in this state to meet specified minimum standards, including, among other requirements, being at least 18 years of age, being of good moral character, as determined by a thorough background investigation, and being either a citizen of the United States or a permanent resident who is eligible for and has applied for citizenship, except as prescribed.

This bill would provide that those standards shall be interpreted and applied consistent with federal law and regulations, as specified. The bill would remove the provision that requires peace officers to either be a citizen of the United States or be a permanent resident who is eligible for and has applied for citizenship, and would instead require peace officers be legally authorized to work in the United States, and make conforming changes.

They were making up stories about Chinese police in the US, wonder how fast it'll become true?

US mulling oil export ban to China​

The US House of Representatives passed a highly politically driven bill on Thursday aimed at banning crude oil trade with China, once again in the name of national security, as the country deals with high inflation.

Experts said that the ban, if implemented, would have no real consequences for China's oil supply, given the diversified sources and the very limited share of the US oil in the Chinese market, and warned that it could further complicate China-US trade relations, which have already been clouded by various export restriction policies imposed by the US in recent years.

Only a matter of time before it’s just an defacto economic embargo. The warmongers are bashing their heads against the table for their failure to seize Russia natural riches and to stop their exports to China.

LoL IK was not that good, the Chinese were in the loop regarding the political change and were OK with it.

You laugh but I've seen american tiktokers in Asia expecting to be given the right to vote during elections because "they pay taxes too", then throwing a tantrum when they're not catered to. Clown world
