    Isn’t that the exact opposite of what they had been talking about doing?

    Edit: also it’s not a question of US law, by attempting to “annex” foreign territory you’re committing an act of war no matter what your domestic laws say.

          I was being sarcastic if you couldn’t tell. Politicians are stereotyped as liars because the majority have always been controlled by money and power. They are and have always been mere figureheads.

            If I couldn’t tell that was sarcastic, then I need to just get off the net now. Permanently.

            Regardless, I stand by what I said. They at one time were merely “money and power,” but now they’ve left the veneer of civility behind, and have gone full thuggery - effectively Mafia.
