Fear mongering on immigrants seems like all you’ve got. I’d say that is pretty weak. Why aren’t you talking about your fabulous tax cut for the rich?
I hate to break it to Cadet Shit-for-Brains but the only invasion he should be worried about is made of paper, paper that looks just like a blizzard of subpoenas and indictments, and it’s going to come and bury him, his family and his minions for the next decade before all is finally said and done.
The only reason he can get away with this shooting at rock throwers stuff is because these caravans are so far away from the border. I think even tRump realizes that if they actually start shooting at rock throwers the optics are not going to look too good. It is unlikely that the troops will do the shooting, it will be those wacky militias that open fire. Their defense will be that they are just following the president’s orders (just like the MAGABomber and the Pittsburgh shooter).
I hope this nightmare ends soon
it can’t happen soon enough
… it will, in fact, be viewed as a war crime, prosecutable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
And consider this: We are about to view, for the first time in our nation’s history, commanders in the US military telling their troops to ignore the orders of the Commander in Chief.
@jmacaz You should watch the Rachel Maddow segment I posted in the Military Experts Slam Border Mission Against People Who ‘Don’t Pose A Threat’ thread. It turns out that the troops at the borders’ biggest threats will be from the militiamen — stealing their gear!
Patriots, you know.
I doubt that those wacky militias follow to the UCMJ
Trump also tweeted a video Wednesday alleging, without evidence, that Democrats were responsible for allowing a homicidal immigrant into the U.S. The video was reminiscent of the infamous “Willie Horton” ad used against Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis in 1988 and condemned as racist.
About that video …

This thread by Kevin Kruse, a bona fide historian, is worth reading.
Spoiler Alert: The “homicidal immigrant” was deported by Arpaio and snuck back into the US during the Shrubya Administration. Oh, and William Horton never went by “Willie.”
“This is an invasion,” Trump declared
It’s a humanitarian crisis is what it is. Hundreds of people are attempting a dangerous, 100’s of miles long journey on foot without food, water or shelter. If he really wanted to keep them from coming all the way here, he should be working with Mexico to provide aid and support down where they are. Instead he’s threatening to shoot the few who may possibly make it. Sickening.
Trump also said he had told the U.S. military mobilizing at the southwest border that if U.S. troops face rock-throwing migrants, they should react as though the rocks were “rifles.”
Because of course a rock thrown by a kid at a soldier in full body armor is just like a bullet striking a kid in a t-shirt. Ask any Catholic kid who grew up in Belfast or
Derry. Or any Palestinian kid in Israel. Nothing to see here, folks.
Raise it up the flagpole, see who salutes. If the response is weak, try something else before they all turn away. Trump is all out of new shiny objects. The ‘invasion’ has been postponed till after the Holidays.
“You come into the country — you’re like two months old … and you’re gonna bring ’em all — your aunts and uncles and grandfathers and lots of people,” he said.
If I’m reading that correctly, he believes that an infant of 2 months actually has nefarious plans to bring its relatives into the country. Those are smart infants.
Seems legit. Obama was groomed to bring about the downfall of Western Civilization starting the day he was born.
Would be a benefit to any country !
The Rump is a sociopath, whose most ironic lie is that the media treat him unfairly.
Every article that fails to call him what he is, and fails to assume he’s just making shit up again, is indeed grossly unfair in The Rump’s favor.
That’s not spaghetti that Trump’s throwing on the wall.
You give him too much credit. He projects his fantasies in the moment. He’s Orange Rambo, mowing down phalanxes of brown zombie terrorists. A grateful nation will give him his parade.
In Israel rock throwers are shot. So POTUS thinks why not here. Israel gets away with it as they pose the Gaza people as sub-human. That is what POTUS is doing to “not quite white” people. This begs the question what group does he want to put the Irish?
Undocumented immigration doesn’t even make my top ten list of the real problems we face.
