    bloomberg saying taiwan is no longer on the itnerary... not sure if that means she's skipping it or if they think that not putting it on the itinerary will fool China https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-31/pelosi-s-asia-itinerary-skips-mention-of-taiwan-stopover

      Let’s rehearse: how would her majesty’s supporters spin this as an absolute win should she actually chicken out

          yeah but why on earth did she bother with this bullshit in the first place?

            No idea what she's doing there or who she's meeting. But in a spin message to supporters they would act like it was essential or something

              So her pr will have to find a sweet spot where the stunt is essential but not essential enough to actually do, all the while without making it sound as though the US may waver on its “promises” to the Taiwan

        She called China's bluff and made them blink, thereby invalidating the need to actually go.
