    Outside of rural villages in India, the caste system is essentially dead.

    Thanks, fwiw in the years around 2010 I've known quite a few indians who got married in Thailand as well as in continental Europe (recent immigrants in Europe) , all from merchant families. My understanding was all those marriages were arranged, families were looking for a good match, similar socio professional scene (I thought same caste but might be wrong there), close physical features (like a short girl for a short boy), fitting respective horoscopes and probably a few more elements I forgot.
    The huge majority was vegetarian, I remember quite well a couple of brothers eating meat among the indians I knew in Bangkok, there were also from merchant families but just visiting Bangkok on business, and explanation was they were from a different caste which members could eat meat.
    Used to deal with a few indians in London as well, who looked more westernized than in other places I was familiar with, but didn't know them well enough to talk about wedding or caste details.

    It's been addressed, I know you're slow, but try to keep up:

    GOP lawmakers discuss vote to block Trump’s new tariffs on Mexico, in what would be a dramatic act of defiance

    Congressional Republicans have begun discussing whether they may have to vote to block President Trump’s planned new tariffs on Mexico, potentially igniting a second standoff this year over Trump’s use of executive powers to circumvent Congress, people familiar with the talks said.

    The vote, which would be the GOP’s most dramatic act of defiance since Trump took office, could also have the effect of blocking billions of dollars in border wall funding that the president had announced in February when he declared a national emergency at the southern border, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the talks are private.

    Trump’s plans to impose tariffs on Mexico — with which the United States has a free-trade agreement — rely on the president’s declaration of a national emergency at the border. But the law gives Congress the right to override the national emergency determination by passing a resolution of disapproval.

    Congress passed such a resolution in March after Trump reallocated the border wall funds, but he vetoed it. Now, as frustration on Capitol Hill grows over Trump’s latest tariff threat, a second vote could potentially command a veto-proof majority to nullify the national emergency, which in turn could undercut both the border-wall effort and the new tariffs.

    Japan and Australia? They are isolated by water, it's much much easier to monitor sea borders. Israel doesn't have half of central America wanting to immigrate either.

  8. Trump did concede that he and Xi were very good friends (still are, and probably better than very good friends now).


    Sarcasm?

    Sarcasm too?
