This is the latest development after President Trump declared a national emergency along the southern border and ordered the Defense Department to provide troops.

      I guess it’s an improvement if it’s them standing around in Texas instead of Iraq.

        Can we not make jokes about working-class soldiers being assigned with conducting war crimes in some unliveable desert hellhole populated entirely by ultra-religious maniacs, enforcing the brutal will of the imperialist overlords?

        But enough about Texas.

    Friendly reminder that most people illegally in the US overstayed a valid legally obtained visa and that planes exist.

      They watch news that hyper focuses on a few large corridors. Then think that the whole boarder looks like that because there’s no critical thought in America

      To establish a defense buffer like its ally is currently doing in the Middle East? It’s a strategy the US seems to condone, so they should be fine with this done to them.

    This is like that time from a few months ago where American troops kept accidentally shooting themselves and each other while trying to guard the border. Even funnier was how they were complaining about the lack of food or places to sleep.

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
