Interesting point. Can the US military just fly anyone they like into their overseas bases in Europe etc, then just exit the base into the hosting country, having skipped immigration controls?
Fsck, I didn't know who Pete Rose was and thought you meant Trump was strong arming them into inducting Trump himself. And while it made me go WTF, it didn't surprise me.
Holy shit the quote from Trudeau in that video aged poorly: "Canada and the United States will forever be a model example of how to be good neighbours"
Maybe voting should be by policy. Each party lists, say, their top 8 policy points as a simple summary sentence each (has to be more concrete than just an aspiration like "protect our economy"). The combined points are randomised and printed on the voting paper. Voter marks all the policies they agree with. Each policy agreed with counts as a vote for that party (so each party can get more than one vote per person). The party with most points agreed with by the voters wins. If the winning party goes back on or does anything in contradiction to any of the policies they listed, the media has something solid to grill them on, and maybe could be some sort of trigger for a new election.
He won't be IN the parade. He'll be watching from some balcony as the goose stepping soldiers, and trucks with missile launchers etc file past.
