Freedom from consequences and unlimited continues. They can try and fail as many times as they like.

Remember, article 90 of the ucmj only requires you to follow lawful orders. Turning your weapons on the same people you've sworn to protect is for sure an illegal order.

Then suggest an alternative. We already have all the criticism we could possibly stand when it comes to protesting. What we don't have is a single one of those critics suggesting or doing anything differently.

Should have thought of that when it was a major part of his campaign?? Like what the fuck did these people just have their fingers in their ears for the last decade? Republican's whole platform is deportation lol

Would it be feasible to chill off the coast and use drones to bypass the blockade to deliver aid?

I'm sure the range is too far or someone would have already done it, but it's an idea.

A fascist take over of the government is what's happening here. This is pretty on brand for that sort of event.

Personally, I think it's a great social experience. Once you move past the "I'm going to speak imperfectly until I learn," thing, you basically get to babel like a baby as an adult. People seem to love it, too. Everytime I tell someone I'm learning a language and they speak that language, they're always excited to help me practice.

I think it helps with your primary language too. A lot of languages are related, so learning about the structure of one can help you recognize patterns in another. Since you learn about new grammar rules in your native language first, it's especially useful if it's been a while since you've taken an English class.
