We shouldn't have to write on all of the world's land that the US isn't welcome. They should know that already

Good thing Mexico has those blue hedgehogs
Faux News: Trump has won the Nobel Peace Prize, by convincing Mexico and the Cartels to set aside their differences.
/s. Probably.
So we're committing an act of war by invading a sovereign nation without an official declaration of war from Congress? "I'm sure this is Constitutional," said no one ever.
In fairness, we haven't actually issued a Declaration of War since WW2. Everything since has been a policing action authorized under the bi-annual NDAA
What you call a "policing action", the rest of us call crimes executed by war criminals.
Who had Invasion of Mexico?
It's the Free Square
How about we fucking not start wars because a pedo wont face the consequences of his own actions, please.
This fucking pedophile and pedophile buddies would rather destroy this country and keep fucking kids than ever owning up to the fact that they're pedophiles.
Especially don’t start wars with nations you share a land border with.
Why is that a meaningful distinction?
Well, it’s a whole lot easier for a neighbor to strike back at you.
Right, but why is anyone concerned with if it’s easier to hit America back?
The issue here isn’t that Mexico might strike back, it’s that the US might invade.
Honestly, in a contest between "insurgent" cartels and the US Army, I'd bet on the Mexicans every time. This will be another Afghanistan. Prolonged and futile bullshit followed a large military donation to which government replaces the current.
If the cartels reached out and the remains of Hegseth was discovered in a wine cask, I would be alright with that.
I’m not talking about the moral aspect, just the strategic.
Obviously invading any nation is generally a bad thing.
Strategically it's far easier for the US to roll over the border and secure a neighbouring country compared to the logistics of supplying an occupation force abroad.
It's not like they're under any real threat of losing, and actors can already launch attacks from inside of the US without sharing a border.
And if your objective is annexation of land, well you generally do need to look at your borders unless you want some weird remote colony/not-colony like Gibraltar.
Look at Russia’s invasion of Ukraine for how well that can go.
Thus have started… the pedo wars
Those Epstein files must be really bad.
Pretty sure his name will be blacked out because of national security reasons. It's the DOJ that's delivering the files
Got it, so mentally replace 'redacted' with the words Donald Trump
That's dangerous. Surely there are a lot of other Republicans on that list paying a lot of money to get their names redacted, too. Can't let those child molesters get away from it either. America has a very deep sickness that needs to be cut out.
The origin of the signs is a bunch of idiot gravy seals who thought they were being clever by illegally crossing the border in a little fishing boat and hammering them into sovereign Mexican territory. If you made up the last 10 years nobody would believe you.
The signs, driven into the sand near where the Rio Grande empties into the Gulf of Mexico, caused a stir when witnesses said men in a boat arrived at the local beach known as Playa Bagdad and erected them.
Oh that explains it, they must have confused it with Baghdad, Iraq
USA = Legal Modern Mafia.

It's definitely not legal in many cases. It's just an that unfortunately no one will do anything about it.
The issue is law enforcement is run by the ones needing to be arrested.
Were discovering real world examples of why there needs to be a wholly separate investigation and enforcement system with separate control from any of the three branches to handle investigations into the government itself. Relying solely on the public to vote has failed.
Depends on what you consider modern. "War is a racket" is a thing for a reason.
