The Cuban is also a pretty great sandwich.  Though I ride with salami on it.  The hardest part for me is finding the right bread for them.

I think it's fair to say we are working on the last few beers in the case once conspiracies about China sending people to covertly vote in our election.  Still, I've got an Oktoberfest and I'm watching hockey and I'm definitely here for it.
Some of us don't measure beer by the case, we measure it by the gallon.

I've got lots of them.

Funny story, in my old "job", I at times helped the lawyers (who often needed help).  Part of that was reading briefs from our side and then their side.  Almost every time, I'd read out brief and say "We have them locked down here." and then I'd read their rebuttal and think "We're toast."

It was fascinating to me how the lawyers could bring up these somewhat obscure points to help their cause effectively.

My actual input was only technical, not legal, so I didn't have to weigh in on the legalities of it all.

Fortunately.  One lawyer we had billed 20 hours per day, and everyone said "He really does work 20 hours a day."  At a grand per, 20 years ago.

I never met him, wanted to.

If they are ordered to stay, they can't.
You can immigrate here, but once here, your mobility is limited? Ehhh.

OTOH in this somewhat fantastical situation, all the Chinese government has to do is ID a weak point in the republican nomination process and slip in a candidate that's weak or friendly, then flip CA and NY.

I mean...have you seen the president?  Comical and amateurish is all the rage these days.
Agreed.  And that’s on a good day lol.

So many others fall into that same category though.  We aren’t supposed to name names so I won’t.

Schitt, Nadless, Swallow, Murmer and Nazi Pull- oh-see.

Yep. On average, how long before the average Chinese immigrant is here before they are allowed to vote?  And for how many years have millions per year migrated here?
Wikepedia knows lol
I didn't go that deep. I did look around and find that 52% of California's immigrant population are now naturalized citizens, but that wasn't broken down by country of origin. 

We have about 11M immigrants out of a population of ~40M. Less than 1M of them (969K) are from China. Assuming we just spitball it and say that we apply the 52% to those, you get ~500K votes. The woman from Chicago from New York on the D ticket won the state by over 4M votes. 

I'm guessing the Chinese could do a lot better by following the Russian model.

Well their candidate lost..    so there is that
The guy who tried to extort Ukraine into announcing an investigation that they were the source of Russian election meddling by not selling them military gear, after Russia annexed the Crimea from the Ukraine, isn't their guy? The guy who didn't listen to any intelligence briefings that the Russians were offering the Taliban bounties on American servicemen, and continues to pooh-pooh the story, isn't their guy? The guy who is asking to let them into the G7 isn't their guy? The guy who walked away from Syria creating a power vacuum for Russia to fill isn't their guy?
