You expected anything else???  :thatsright:

Actually, I did. I expected the excuses to come a little farther down the road. That fact that the excuses are coming now shows that, even though they are brain-damaged, some of them have enough neurons firing to realize that their demonrat "saviors" are not going to "save" anything.

Anti-Israel group hoists Palestinian flag at Germany’s Reichstag; 3 arrested

Quote
A man replaced the large German flag flying outside the Reichstag building in Berlin, which houses the German parliament, with a Palestinian flag on Sunday, the latest in a string of such incidents at European landmarks.

The man climbed a large pole, more than 28 meters (92 feet) high, to swap out the Flag of Unity, which symbolizes Germany’s 1990 reunification. The Palestinian flag remained atop the mast for about an hour until authorities were able to remove it.

The German publication Bild said the man and two accomplices were arrested.

Learned of this here on reddit and was surprised at the number of comments admitting that such actions don't help "the cause".  Not that "the cause" (Hamas, the Palestinian terrorists and their Iranian bankrollers) care about public opinion, but it's a tiny glimmer of hope that some of the chickens for KFC crowd may be figuring out a few things.

The DUmmies and their fellow traveler "Ron Filipowski" douche-nozzle might want to slow their roll on this one.

While Jensen Huang is unquestionably a brilliant tech innovator and capitalist, he is certainly not part of this imaginary "Trump Cabal". Considering I follow business news quite closely and certainly more than the unremarkable "Ron Filipowski", Huang has always seemed like a shady character with zero morals regarding where his profits go. My hunch is that he is closer to your American Chinese business-asshole Neville Roy Singham, who is communist at his heart but will gladly take your money.

If this is as bad as it certainly could be, Huang likely carries more stench on the Democrat party, much akin to Epstein.

This has toast! Trump is legs!!!

In real life, the first line of responsibility for ensuring compliance with US export regs is Nvidia. At the Federal level, export regs are overseen by the Departments of Commerce and State. IOW, whatever Trump approved, for specific customers, still was subject to Nvidia's and multiple government departments' oversight.

Further, the DU OP glosses over this, probably from ignorance seasoned with confirmation bias, but Nvidia did not sell its products to the Chinese government. What actually happened is that, either through a reseller or directly, Nvidia sold its products to a Singapore company that did data processing. That company bought more equipment than its business required and shipped some of what they bought to China. This bypass of US export regs appears to have been eased/camouflaged by the China-connected head of that company and Nvidia's president playing mattress polo together. Per the NYT (paywalled), Rubio alerted Trump to this cozy relationship in spring 2026, a timing that suggests the mattress polo and equipment transfers may have begun during Biden's MalAdministration.

Other than lacking a honeypot, this scenario is what happened, exposed a few months ago, with Supermicro. Supermicro sold its servers to an approved reseller, which sold the servers to a data processing company doing actual processing of data. That end user bought more equipment than needed by its legitimate business, and the extra got sent to China. That particular export regs bypass scam started in 2024.

This is all public information, and I posted about the Nvidia mess earlier this AM in the daily Breaking News thread. I did not find any mention here in the Cave of the Supermicro servers case. If any DUpipo think this is a Gotcha-Trump, they will be disappointed, as usual.

I firmly believe that Iran needed to be brought down, should have been done long ago. But, continuously pausing to allow them time to rearm is ridiculous. You go to war, go to win!

I get the feeling this thread is going to get a lot of pages added over the next two years, at minimum.

Too bad very few of those pages will show Dim'Rats catching the natural consequences of treason and sedition...  :yawn:

I think we're going to hear more about this

Just saw a breaking news story about this on CNN a few minutes ago, but Ron Filipkowski summarizes the stakes involved here nicely and why this is going to have "legs":

He writes "I realize I'm in a tiny minority here, but I consider Nvidia selling sensitive AI tech to a Chinese spy after Trimp approved the sale despite warnings from the US intelligence and Congress about security concerns to be a much bigger story than the Dana White foolish distraction."
