    In recent months, Perry has introduced a flurry of aggressive and somewhat unlikely bills related to China, including legislation that would cut US funding to the United Nations until the body expels China and recognises Taiwan, and bills that would authorise the US president to recognise Hong Kong and Tibet as countries independent from China.

    Lmao, of course this clown is on the house foreign relations committee

      America really is cartoonishly evil at this point,

      Pandemic? We put your job out of business, here's $1200, get back to work!

      Climate Change causing unparalleled devastation across the globe? Moar oil please!

      Sanctions killing 1000's every year? More sanctions on our "allies", and bomb the brown countries.

      Chinese companies outcompeting the US in tech? No those are our companies now.

      50% of US population poor or destitute? make them all homeless and make it 70%!
