Since I know you guys don't leave the country

(Trung being the only non-US poster now? apologies to Trung)

I boarded a flight to Europe today and ICE agents were waiting inside the jetway to detain people. People trying to leave the US. There was one African guy in front of me who was detained and did not board after that. Like we’re literally detaining the people that want to leave and forcing them into detention camps.

Whole country is fucked, no bueno, everyone should leave ASAP.

  - I meant a federal system as opposed to a unitary one (the classic example is France), not balance of powers which is pretty much dead - Tabernacles E. Townsfolk Feb. 16 10:55 AM
