Your "strongest ally" just removed 20% of its troops and wants to extort you for the other 80% in its obligations to said alliance

It's especially funny since HIV now affects more straight people than gay people

Time to invade Greenland to protect a prosecuted, democracy-loving minority!

Yeah, and we commit loud genocides, what's the difference? Is it just because China doesn't like to talk about their camps, that's somehow worse than exclusively sending foreign aid to and directly funding Israel and its genocide?

If they expect to end the war by negotiating with both parties, they kind of need to force them to negotiate

Really? You remember all those international anti-Obama and anti-Clinton protests on their respective Inaugural Day?

“who stopped them?”. There are no checkpoints between Oregon and California

.. actually, there are checkpoints along every major roadway into California that do check incoming vehicles, mostly to find and prevent invasive species from entering the state and affecting the agricultural industry, and more broadly to protect the environmental systems in California. There have, in fact, been legal challenges against these checkpoints for violating travel laws, but the checkpoints have remained. They've also been used to seize non-agricultural items like weed, weapons smuggling, etc. so emissions standards checking isn't completely out of the realm.

Obviously, she's lying and she doesn't know any of this either anyway. But there are checkpoints to enter California.

Firstly, no one will want to work in a field for minimum wage either lol

Secondly, they're not going to replace paid (albeit lowly paid) immigrant workers with highly (relatively-speaking) paid american citizens. They're going to replace them with unpaid prison slave labor forces

So you're saying it was much, much worse than a million, and the federal government took it because it made them look better?
