we accidentally invaded mexico...


?s=20

US 'contractors' arrived by boat on Monday at Playa Bagdad, driving signs into the sand near where the Rio Grande empties into the Gulf of Mexico.

Alarmed witnesses quickly alerted officials and heavily armed Mexican security personnel rushed to the scene on trucks mounted with machine guns in a terrifying standoff.

The Pentagon, in a deeply embarrassing statement, admitted that its troops were mistaken when they landed on the beach.

If they had no ID on them, Mexico can arrest them as armed illegal immigrants, put them in some obscure jail in the Yucután for nine months, and THEN remember where they are. Give these goons a taste of their own medicine!

Oh, and keep those machine guns trained on them until they surrender their own weapons. These goons are armed and dangerous.

I doubt she has the slightest interest in feeding a unit of Trump’s steroid-addled rednecks for the next ten years just to remind Trump that unauthorized border intrusions by armed thugs are no more welcome on the Mexican side of the border than they are on ours..

10. Not an accident, a recon mission. How will Mexico react? Will they get the message?

The message being: don't mess with us, we will invade you. We can fight many wars. Many, many wars! All the wars Trump wants. All hail King Trump, ruler of all, the most powerful man in the universe!
