It would have been simpler to run the border down the middle of the Columbia River
like the Brits wanted in the first place

Weel it gets weirder.
They said the vehicle was captured on video “slowly and deliberately” driving through a ditch to enter the US.

Even if it’s true or mostly true, it still smells of the “but they sold drugs!” defence employed when police shoot an unarmed POC.
We’re supposed to believe this couple with a 3 month old baby from the UK were already legally in Canada, but were sooo desperate to live in the USA illegally they tried driving over the border without the proper paperwork.
I’m just not buying it. And (sorry UKers) I’ve talked to too many British people who were not completely aware the US and Canada are separate countries with a not entirely open border. Ask anyone who lives near Niagara Falls.

That would be the only way to cross that ditch with a vehicle and not end up needing to get it towed out. Seriously they had to know exactly what they were doing and I have learned over the years those bits of road are heavily monitored so while it looks all quiet and easy to cross you are not going to get away with it.

They did get released. And it sounds like it was more than just three of them:

Going waaaaay back in the nazification of America here, but this video had a lot of interesting details about Lincoln and his assassination that I hadn’t heard before.

In the tweet, Mr Drake said he planned to buy an assault rifle “because if you impeach MY PRESIDENT this way, YOU WILL HAVE ANOTHER CIVAL (sic) WAR!!! #MAGA2020”, according to a copy seen by ESPN.
It reportedly followed another tweet that read: “You can’t do an impeachment inquiry from the basement of Capital (sic) Hill without even a vote! What is going on in this country?”

Nothing like failing civics twice in two tweets.

Not an error. The place is basically a hill of capital.

It’s just honoring police by using their color to divide everything in place of one of the stripes for founding states. So a sort of symbolic “police state”, if you will. Nothing fascist about that!

My ex being a cop, this thin blue line shit and the Blue Lives Matter site were major instigators in turning him into a paranoid freak who thought everyone was out to kill him and his kind. I tried to figure out who was behind the Blues Lives Matter site because it is so well done and supposedly some grassroots effort to just support cops because they are so wonderful. It’s so sad from the point of view of someone who loved a police officer to see how these organizations are creating an environment that makes them feel so separated from the people they are supposed to be serving.

Before major protests, there are consultants to give speeches about how the protesters are carrying “homemade pepper spray” and “wrist rockets” and can expect to kill 1 or 2 up to 5 police officers this time. I can’t find a source for the last part right now, but … ah, here:
Alluded to in the unreliable Panel 3 Final Report:
https://www.seattle.gov/archive/wtocommittee/currentdocs.htm
Now this encourages the police officers to use violence to put down protests. Tactically, that’s a win for the department, and strategically, contributes to the attrition of an entire movement, one of the reasons the left is weaker now.
I’m just trying to see the sense of using the same strategy to encourage violence against a wider range of civilians, instead of only protesters.

What the heck is he even talking about?

All that violence. Like… uh… taxes. Yeah, there’s the ticket. And, uh, slow-moving legal battles. And questioning whether politicians will protect their own party or act in a way that’s good for their country. And, uh… what were we talking about again?

If we’re lucky.
If we’re not so lucky, this is the cue the militia types have been waiting for.
