      Very unlikely. For one, border patrol isn’t big enough or well armed enough. They’re cops, this will go to the courts.

      Honestly? Whether you’re a troublemaker or a foreign intelligence agency, just do some corny Tom Clancy shit. Forge documents that imply some kind of escalation (threats from the other side), then quietly distribute them to whichever side’s more likely to attack first. Once the ball’s rolling, it’d be hard to stop

            True, true. I wonder if open sedition would get Joe to move against the court. I really can’t make sense of him. His love of evil is tied to some kind of pathetic worship of the American Civic Religion but I don’t understand where the lines are drawn

      There’s a tailor-made solution for Biden: federalize the national guard and arrest any politican who still gets in the way. Eisenhower did it in Arkansas.

        Our research shows that viewers are more likely to blame the national guard for being too woke near the holidays whereas border patrol gets blamed for being too woke consistently on weekends

    Liberal democracy is such a fucking farce.

    Literally nothing from the Trump’s admin’s border policy changed when Biden went to office, they drum up outrage over nothing. It’s really annoying that it works too, because the hogs are convinced that the USA is being flooded with us-foreign-policy while the libbest of libs think they’ve done anything to improve human rights for migrants, when it’s actually become worse.
