Discussion: Trump Says Baselessly That Dems Behind 'Caravan' To Get More Voters

I am concerned that Trump is trying to stir up enough media scuttlebutt and ā€œ deplorablesā€™ ā€œ imaginations that ā€œmob ruleā€œ is going to surround election day/week so he can impose martial law and postpone the election.

If Trump is pushing the caravan story, it tells me that the Koch Brothers or Russians are bankrolling it.

Conservatives know that Donald is defending the same Saudis who supported the 911 attack on the USā€¦it looks very, very bad and very, very suspicious to even their supporters. Has the Trump Organization been moneylaundering for them, too? They sure have bought and sold a lot of Trump condos.

And when Donaldā€™s father refused to bail him out any longer when he went bankrupt, guess who came to The Con Manā€™s rescue? Donā€™t know why the MSM isnā€™t all over this 911 connection.

Hey, itā€™s Halloween season. The Deplorables are far more into dismemberment stories, saws and grisly murderers like the 911 Saudi attack on this nation.

Soā€¦

Trump on his VA appointee: ā€œThis guy was attacked so viciously, so violentlyā€¦ā€

Trump, same rally, on Gianforte: ā€œAnybody who can do a body slam is fine by me. Really tough cookieā€

So looking into previous professional records, credible allegations, off-limits. Actual physical smack-downs, totally awesome! Got it.

Trump Says Baselessly
Why even waste the pixels. If his lips are moving heā€™s lying

Because the lies are becoming ever more unhinged and inflammatory and the benazied followers are buying into them fully. Because the lies are dragging us incrementally toward civil disorder and atrocity. And because we need to remain capable of being shocked into shock over how entirely anti-democratic and dangerous it is.

So, I just heard the former Rick Santorum say on CNN that George Soros was ā€œfundingā€ the caravan.

I imagine myself on the receiving end of a statement like that and trying to come up with a retort. I could ask him for the evidence heā€™s relying on, but heā€™ll obviously make something up. The best solution is not to ask him anything. I donā€™t for the life of me know why CNN still includes the former Rick Santorum on panelsā€¦

You really must buy ink by the 50 gal. drum to continue reporting on every new Trump prevarication.

I think the sound approach is to keep replying to these fools with the facts. You canā€™t start calling tRump a lard-ass fuckwad, as much as you might like to, if you are in the public eye and running for office. Just keep repeating those facts like a mantra.

Agreed. God knows why Rick Sanitarium is gadding about. Heā€™s a ā€œWalking Deadā€ repeat.

And, how about framing this in a way that doesnā€™t repeat Trumpā€™s accusation? Try this:
Who is behind the caravan? WHY now? Answer the question and what Trump said and how no evidence because ABC.

You do know, first angry Dem mobs. Then Newt goes on TV and says the election about Kavanaugh and caravan. Duh, coordinated campaign, anyone? Anyone? How about that. It just smacks of dirty trick to me.News reporters, go check in with the people that are heading to the border. It is a stunt. Bannon us probably behind this.

More likely is that the caravan was drummed up by the Right. It comes at a great time for them. Not that this is likely, but the timing is a bit suspicious.

The life long serial liar, grifter, flimflam artist, and con-man puts the CON in conspiracy lies.

Projection - why else did Trump say it? He projects flawlessly.

So, Assange is still in the Ecuadorian embassy - wonder if he has someone inside Honduras?

Itā€™s a caravan of men, women and children fleeing for their lives because of civil war. Itā€™s Guatemala and not local news. Trumpā€™s using it to deflect attention from Mueller and Saudi Arabia to something else. Heā€™ll probably have Melania kidnapped if this doesnā€™t work. Donā€™t be fooled. Remember to VOTE.

Okay, been away for a while, and google is failing meā€¦ why are yaā€™ll callling Santorum ā€˜the former Rick Santorumā€™? Thank you for your attention to this deficit in my education! :smile:

Iā€™m not fooled.

ā€œā€¦why CNN still includes the former Rick Santorum on panelsā€¦ā€

Lesson 1 for journalists or news producers: All drama comes from conflict.
If you have no authentic conflict, then manufacture it.

These news producers on these TV infotainment channels know that guests like Santorum, Gingrich, et al, will make provocative statements and the ā€œmoderatorsā€ will be told over their earpieces not to challenge those statements or throw soft pitches.
Itā€™s demoralizing. All it does is to validate nutty charges. Merely making the statement on TV gives it value. Check with Marshall McLuhan.
ā€œWhat is your evidenceā€ is just too obvious a question for a shill like Wolf Blitzer or other member of our ā€œpress corpsā€.
