Democrats and the White House have agreed in principle to raise the threshold for asylum claims as part of the bill to fund wars in Israel and Ukraine, but liberals are livid — and Republicans want more.
At least, not until Taiwan starts using all those shiney new weapons with the expectation that they have the full support of the United States. Then there’d be an invasion.
“There won’t be an invasion until Taiwan reacts to literal acts of war”
Are America’s sanctions on Cuba and Venezuela acts of war? If you agree that they are then I’ll concede on that point.
