OH DAMN…now we’re going to get a Presidential alert about this National Emergy.

I was going to call the CIA about these two Hispanic guys in my back yard. Then I remembered I hired them to move a stone wall and take down some old fencing.

NEVERMIND!!

PLEASE fix the headline.

It’s not “claims baselessly,” it’s “lies.” If you don’t want to say “lies,” then a fallback would be “makes shit up again.”

I’d accept.

• Purposeful misstruths
• known falsehoods
• racist rantings
• untrue truths (which is a known, known. Thank you Secretary Rumsfeld)

should I see my doctor?

So, apparently the Great Caravan alone wasn’t enough to rile the rubes up; now there are ISIS members hiding in with them. I suppose by the end of the week, the Great Caravan will also be bringing Ebola & Zika with them. That worked out pretty well for them in the last off-year election.

DID you see ALL THE BROWN people in the caravan? Of course they’re from the MIDDLE EAST. Trump’s been to ISRAEL so he knows what he’s talking about. HE’S not a BABY!

SENCE OF URGENY.

Learn to spell. PLEEEZ!

[katscherger]

Absolutely right

[katscherger]

Well, the Dotard did tell everyone that George Soros is funding the caravan. I kid you not.

[katscherger]

There are also transgender and queer folk with them.

[ignatius_donnelly]

In a week it’ll be Orcs and re-animated NKVD torturers.

[redhand]

A national “emergy,” huh?

What. A. Disgrace.

[mrf]

There are far more Middle Easterners of concern in Trump’s portfolio than the possibility of ones crossing the border asking for asylum.

[blandsten]

Hey! I resemble that comment!

[justruss]

… um possibly.

Apologies if this has already been posted, but has anyone noticed that Individual-1 has been tweeting he wants the military to go to the border, not the national guard? I’ve seen that somewhere.

Note in this current tweet his threat to declare this to be a “national emergency” in order to deploy active duty military instead of the guard to the southern border?

This is a major big deal to people who actually live on the southern border.

I am at work right now, but I just want to scream.

My late wingnut brother used to do the random capitals as well. It bugged me because we were only a year apart, so he had most of the same teachers I did, and also because he actually read books (historical novels mostly). I guess he picked it up from his RWNJ buddies.

The first use I saw of it was in Gulliver’s Travels - it seemed to be a thing in the 18th century letters too.

It’s a bit like Winnie the Pooh, actually.

A bear of Very little Brain, I should add.

Oh bother, no credit for a very BIG HEART?
