Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

Jasmine Mooney, a 35-year-old Canadian woman, has been detained in U.S. immigration facilities since March 3 after attempting to enter with an incomplete Trade NAFTA work visa application.

She was initially held at San Ysidro border crossing before being transferred in chains to detention centers in San Diego and Arizona.

Her mother, Alexis Eagles, reports inhumane conditions including overcrowded concrete cells with constant lighting and inadequate facilities.

Business partner BJ McCaslin called the situation a "nightmare" while Global Affairs Canada confirmed they're aware but unable to intervene in U.S. immigration matters.

The US has countries that it used to know.

But we didn't have to cut you off.

Hopefully in 4 years we can make out like it never happened and that it was nothing.

So basically 2009 and 2021 all over again.

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over.

Yeah, their client state Israel, as well as Russia and presumably its client state, Belarus

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Who's who's client state again?

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago

Israel is America's client state. If Israel magically ceased to exist, America would recreate it, so as to maintain their military position in the region. If America magically ceased to exist, Israel would soon follow.

Though the way things are going, pretty soon they'll both be more like Belarus

Even its Canadian girl friend left it

We never had allies, we barely knew those countries, they might have gotten coffee for us at some point?
