We have provided almost all of their military protection since WWII. Those idiots elect liberals, muslims pour-in, gun rights are given away.
Good bye you dumbasses. i used to love driving through yyour country.

Joe Biden will open our doors to Huawei if he wins. We already know his loyalty is to Red China and corporations, in that order.
