Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Zacharia’s LinkedIn work history places her at Zhong Lun, an elite Chinese multinational law firm, between 2011 and 2013. She worked at the Beijing-based firm as an associate on the international practice team, months after she obtained her J.D. from Pepperdine Caruso Law. Zacharia’s LinkedIn also notes that she spoke Chinese at an “elementary proficiency.”

Like many major Chinese businesses, Zhong Lung operates in an environment in which it can be influenced by the regional government. Since it was founded in 1993, the firm has provided legal services to numerous Chinese government agencies and state-owned enterprises. Some of those entities include China’s Ministry of Justice, People’s Bank of China, the Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Natural Resources, Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and other regulatory bodies, according to the firm’s webpage.

Within that same time period, Zacharia also worked as the manager of fundraising and communications at Compassion for Migrant Children, a Beijing-based nonprofit that provided education and material support to rural migrant workers. The group also noted in an archived profile that it “engage[d] the Chinese government and local educational officials for greater and longer lasting impact.”

So Xi Jinping recieves a gushingly elaborate state visit and two weeks later this person appears from nowhere to speak for the demented rapist.

Probably a coincidence.

Republicans will sell out the USA to WHOEVER is paying

Companies, nation states, billionaires, etc.

That's just how corruption works

But but tankies keep showing up in posts telling me both sides are equally bad and I should just stay home from the midterms and jerk myself off! I'm so confused and don't know what to do!

As a communist, we still need to vote.

Orphan with unknown parents attends a nice law school where she lands assistant to the president.

After graduation she immediately moves to China for several years where she is employed as a full time associate at a powerful, top CCP party law firm.

After a few years she directly lands a job at Newsmax, owned by one of trump's advisors.

Then quickly gets a gig as the Whitehouse press secretary.

🤔

Definitely. Her IQ is somewhere between Algae and Moss.

Insult to algae and moss...

Maybe she tried to be a lawyer there, because she had a hard time trying to become one in the US with a fourth grade reading level.

[–] Toethumb@piefed.ca 25 points 6 days ago (1 children)

My guess, she was shopping around for a cheapo maralago face to fit in.

[–] tacoplease@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Sounds like a lobbying firm for Chinese interests.

[–] Pratai@piefed.ca 11 points 5 days ago

Selling America.

Obviously not learning on how to read or speak effectively.

Indoctrination. Perhaps they can indoctrinate her not to be stupid.

Probably the same thing she does for the trump administration right now: anything anywhere anytime, obviously.
