I doubt even he can spin it that way. His popularity would plummet and that’s something he cares a lot about since he has a fragile ego.

Lol the biggest reason you’re wrong to make that comparison is that Hong Kong was never its won country. Hong Kong was a British colony and then a Chinese special administrative region (SAR) given a degree of administrative autonomy by the Chinese government voluntarily as part of a treaty with the British. The treaty expired and then China decided to change the rules for Hong Kong.

Taiwan meanwhile was the territory that the Republic of China (RoC aka Nationalist China) held on to when it lost the Chinese Civil War against the People’s Republic of China (PRC aka Communist China) who now control the mainland. The PRC never controlled Taiwan and the RoC government which rules there does not answer to the PRC nor has it ever. The PRC and it’s Communist Partt can claim that Taiwan is a rogue province all they want but that’s a lie. Taiwan is not theirs it was and still is under the government of the ROC even if the ROC has lost the rest of its territory to the PRC since the Civil War and World War 2.

Hong Kong’s city government allowed China to take more direct control because it always answered to China since the British gave it to China. Meanwhile the ROC government in Taiwan has never answered to the PRC and it never will. Opposing the PRC is literally one of the main goals of that government and country and I don’t think there are any major politicians there who want to join the PRC willingly nor would amy such politician be popular there.

Long story short the ROC (Taiwan) and Hong Kong are not even remotely comparable and the former won’t just accept any attempted takeover by the communists.

Trump hates China so he would do it just to show that he’s opposing it.

Okay

George Lucas’s writing in the OT was atrocious.

China will never invade Taiwan. Taiwan has a backchannel protection deal with the US and China knows it.

They should hire ex US Air Force drone pilots.

Sounds like Charlotte just needs to get dicked down good.

Someone could publish them as dynamic kernel modules.

Or something you would have to memorize for a biology class.

He got shot by the burger king and the dairy queen and lived to tell about it.

No, that’s a meow.

Some few states allow you to take the exam without any eduction requirements. California is one of them. But these places have the hardest bar exams.

Also foreign lawyers can sit for US bar exams after doing only a one year bridge LLM degree in U.S. law which is offered by most ABA accredited law schools in states where there is an education requirement.

There is no ABA accredited law school in the United States that does not require the completion of a baccalaureate level education prior to attending. You need to confirm completion of such a degree before they will finalize your admission. If you are admitted as an undergrad and fail to finish your undergraduate degree they will revoke your admission or at the very least postpone it until you obtain a bachelor’s degree.

I assume she’s trying to pass in California which is one of the very few states that let you sit for the bar exam without a JD from an accredited law school or any degree at all. In exchange for allowing that California also has the hardest bar exam of any state in the union.

Also lawyers don’t just go to four years of college. They have to do that and get a degree in any subject and then attend law school which in the US is only ever a postgraduate program which requires a bachelor’s degree as a prerequisite. And even those who complete both of those levels of education often fail the California bar exam multiple times.

Self study in comparison would be nearly impossible and the only way to actually succeed would probably be to apprentice under a practicing lawyer for many years, learn the trade that way, take an exam prep course and then maybe be able to pass. Granted in the olden days lawyers like Abraham Lincoln didn’t have any degree either and they were usually admitted to the bar after this type of apprenticeship.

He can’t go to law school because he doesn’t have a bachelor’s degree which is a prerequisite. Say what you will about Kim K but she isn’t stupid, she just doesn’t have common sense.

Compared to Reddit the userbase here is miniscule.

I like it as a platform but the userbase just isn’t there.

Nobody in my industry bothers to read them. You’d be lucky if they spend more than a minute on the resume so they’re a waste of time.
