JCon Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 You would think, based on the rhetoric, that the "caravan's" arrival was imminent. However, it's still over a 1000 miles away and it will be weeks before they arrive at the US border. Fear mongering. The Unknown Poster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's creating a narrative for the election that potential immigrants through the Mexican border are so violent and such a risk, it requires a armed response reserved for wars. Its absolutely ridiculous. But also very transparent. It will make his racist, ignorant base stand up and cheer but Im not so sure it moves the fence sitters. But I think the idea is not to gain votes, its to mobilize the base to actually vote. The Dems have the same issue in convincing people to actually vote. Whomever gets their supporters out the best will win. JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 hahaha these poor bastards. Apparently, their "accuser" chickened out at the last minute.

do or die Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) They are due for some unwanted attention from Mueller, and the FBI.

The Unknown Poster Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 The good news is the military commanders will just ignore this buffoon. Can you imagine if he ordered the military to shoot into a crowd of people throwing rocks? He’s insane. Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark F Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) The more he talks, the more likely it is the Democrats will have success. He actually seems to be unravelling some more. if there's anything left to unravel. So far, there doesn't seem to be any legal problem for an American on the American side of the border, shooting and killing someone on the Mexican side of the border.

bustamente Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 If Americans are not embarrassed by this lying fool then I don't know what to tell you, at some point you have to say enough, I'm really surprised he can tie his own shoes with the way he acts, a child has more sensibility, they lie about the same though.

However, it's still over a 1000 miles away and it will be weeks before they arrive at the US border. Fear mongering. Don't look for logic, the caravan is currently the most convenient threat Trump can use to make a statement about immigration and his disdain for immigrants prior mid-term elections. It's just a wink and a nod to "old stock Americans". "These illegal caravans will not be allowed into the United States and they should turn back now," Trump said. "We are stopping people at the border. This is an invasion." https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-immigration-asylum-1.4888409 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnzo Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) Trump's people do fear, they don't do numbers. 3500 refugees 1000 miles away might as well be the entire host of Genghis Villa pressing up against the gates of Nogales, their catapults bombarding Phoenix with dynamite and the corpses of pestilent cattle.

The Unknown Poster Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Cuomo on CNN had a couple of Republicans on last night. I only caught part of it.

I agree with this comment at that article. "why is (he) using the Old Testament, aka the Hebrew Bible, to try to justify its "holy war" against "Marxists and Islamists"? Because there's no support for it based on the words of Christ alone, that's why. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the white majority that controls government and the economy actually see themselves as "David"? Its all a smokescreen for their inherent racism. Watching the woman get so angry with Cuomo was both hilarious and chilling. Trump and his puppet masters are preparing the base for a domestic war. Right now, the idea is of immigrant invaders. But maybe in 2020 it will be "Dems who stole the White House". People will die and the blood will be on the hands of Trump and his GOP supporters.
