Pretty much everything Trump says is preposterous, and yet here we are.

When you’ve lost Fox news. . . .

And not a moment too soon. I hope this is the beginning of a new trend.

Usually Trump projects the opposite of what he does on to someone else. In this case he says democrats are behind the caravans. What if it is really republicans who are behind the caravans by Trump motivating and in cases actually challenging these refugees to come to the US. The caravans coming at this time benefits Trump at a time when he needs to motivate his base. What more of a motivation than caravans of refugees traveling to the US?? Just saying.

Chris is now in his 70s. Perhaps he hears his father talking to him from the Great Beyond. Mike would have been all over this garbage.

FWIW, one of my favorite follows on Twitter is Dan Rather. He really got screwed over.

So Dotard will deem this non-fake news to be fake news faked to be from the only not-fake news source.

Does that make it a triple or quadruple negative? I lose track so easily these days…

And FOX supports it 115%, as feature, not bug.

Agree. He and his producer foolishly stepped into a carefully prepared trap and land mine. One would think that he was smarter. If he wasn’t as egotistical as he was then, he would have avoided it.

Wallace acts like something being preposterous won’t be put out by the rest of Fox as the new “truth” of the day. Preposterous has never stopped them before.

I applaud that Chris Wallace has the guts to say this to Trump.

But… unless it is now the Fox News Corp policy to put sanity over profit and to disagree with Trump every chance they get it is not going to make much of a difference. They can’t just be in opposition to him on the outlying issues. They need to actively look for ways to tell him he is full of shit. Trump is a Narcissist with a capital N. He feeds on the attention like a junkie on heroin. If one story in the news cycle draws ridicule he will just go to further extreems on his next issue until he gets the attention he craves.

If Fox really wants to sour the milk that is giving Trump sustenance they can’t just use an occasional lemon of a story. They will need to go full Monty Python on his ass and start ridiculing him every chance they get.

Trump is a Narcissist. This is a personality disorder. It is not a mental illness. He is not going to get better. The best we can hope for is that the media with the mega audience pools quit feeding his addiction.

So… Chris Wallace gives me hope… but not much.

Careful, depending on who is watching, there may be some heads exploding. All will return to normal once Hannity comes on.

They were not as alert as they should have been, but this was near the beginning of that kind of O’Keefe-type trap, and I really don’t think they had any idea how it was going to go. The world changed radically in a relatively short time and some Old News people ended up sidelined. Rather has always had a strong ego. No one else had the nerve to stand up to Nixon in a press conference the way he did, and that ego was why. And then he’s just had weird stuff. (What’s the frequency, Kenneth?)

How nice of Chris Wallace but with Trump still monopolizing all the coverage, the Dems look to be once again snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

People need to be reminded, over and over in simple terms, what Dems stand for in regards to comprehensive immigration reform, improving the ACA and a host of other issues. How in the world did Dems let the Repubs make Kavanaugh an issue that has so excited their base??? Who thinks abolishing ICE is a sound policy response to what has been going on??? Just letting Trump be Trump hasn’t worked yet and the Repubs are once again running circles around the Dem machine.

Yes, that is the equivalent of a false flag plan: GOP creates this coming caravan and lies constantly that it is Democrat created. The entire concept is idiotic as usual, creating a caravan of suffering refugees, but that’s what we have as “president” in this former 1st world nation, now a sheet -hole 3rd world swamp.

Social media is alive with the notion that the Democrats are behind it.

Sure, Dems are behind the caravan. Also, Obama is coming fer yer gunz, aaany second now.

Logic would beg that if Dems had the power to summon thousands from Central America, then maybe Dems would also be able to coax hordes of American voters out to nail the rapepublicans coffin shut. Actually, I’d love to see that!

Immigration? In Michigan, not something being discussed, because the more pressing issues are health care and infrastructure (Flint’s water problems are spreading to other, older communities, and the roads are a mess all over the state), and PUBLIC school education funding.

This isn’t a national election, as much as that disgusting grifter tries to make it one.

It is not a campaign issue even here in this border state, New Mexico. Everyone is campaigning on healthcare, jobs and education. And hanging onto the national lands that the federal government keeps eyeing.

Not that the truth ever made any difference to trump but thank you Chris for saying what should be said (I cannot believe I am saying that about Fox News…GAAAA!!!)

On another front because it is important and it’s trump:
