Its like they’re cutting policy from whole cloth
Pointing out it is a joke is a rug pull on the punchline.

Does this administration seem overly concerned about following the us laws to you?
Absolutely not. There is a reason I’m personally noping out of the US and told every international person at my former workplace to do the same so…
