So he's just trying to stop anyone from trading with us, is he?

I don't belive the headline is accurate, based on my reading of the article.

It looks line they area going to continue reading the food for safety. What they have stopped doing is making sure the tests are run properly.

I'm not suggesting that this is a noteworthy improvement, nor am I 100% sure my reading is correct. But I prefer the accurate information to the inaccurate.

I use my wife. She's an artist, and has an eye for such things.

Can you explain the fringe thing to me, too?

If this isn't 3AM, then nothing is.

Or a mistake.

Yea, an "administrative error," like what landed that one gentleman in El Salvador, right?

I'm not saying I approve of what he's doing. Quite the contrary.

But it's what he's asking, and how he's asking, not that he's asking.

There is no legal basis for this fight. Do you pollen to start shooting tax collectors?

Glamour doesn't enter into it.

Speaking as someone too pasty to be bothered by ICE (for now) and who owns no guns (for now) eventually we are gonna have to show the country that a brown shirt does not make you invincible.

None of them apply to LEO.

Trying to control the way other countries are run is fucking wild, the notion of which should never even be remotely entertained.

In happier times, we call the process "diplomacy," and mostly limit it to things that affect us, directly or indirectly.

But pressuring other countries to, for example, clean up their corruption so we can reliably do business with them is common. (Also hilariously hypocritical) Pressuring other countries to enact civil rights laws is fairly common, too.

I have to admit, seeing pressure to remove civil rights is unusual, at least from countries not named UAE.
