The release of Americans deemed wrongfully detained in China has been a top agenda item in each conversation between the U.S. and China, and Wednesday’s development suggests a willingness by Beijing to engage with the outgoing Democratic administration before Republican President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House in January.

Does it matter at this point? I'm so over it all. I'm glad Biden is still trying to do some good while in office to counteract the shitshow that's coming. Him taking credit, saying he'll put so and so in office, etc., is just smoke and mirrors to give anti-trumpers something to talk about so they don't fight the real issues.

Yeah, true enough. But I just really don't want to hear the undeserved gloating from him or his cult.
