That’s the line our troops should refuse to cross.

I'd be in favor of turning him over to the Danish courts in addition. They don't have our Supreme Court's silly immunity ruling.

Democrats should take off the gloves and lay the mean on Donald. Gavin Newsom knows how to put Donald in his place.

obviously our message needs to b ‘prosecute the criminals’. but i’m not sure how many votes u get for that. then there is no forward movement, and they get to cry about that.

I don't want an invasion by any means, but if we already have it, that's a massive amount of land to just give back. Plus, we'll get two Democratic Senators if we maker it a state.
