President Donald Trump

[Hornsby]

A couple of things... Trump is sending 5000 troops to the border this week I believe. The caravan isn't going to arrive fpr 2 more months at the pace that they're traveling. More craven politics at the expense of the people.

Number 2: Looks like GOP leadership is breaking with Trump over the Pittsburgh shooting. They can see the writing on the wall with nobody wanting to meet with Trump or host him, so McConnell and Ryan declined to go with him.

Caravan is a misleading term. It isn't one mass of people. It's strung along a hundred miles of road, or several roads. The crowd pictures are just that, clumps of people.

For the legal minds, is the Mexican offer of work permits a bar to asylum status? Would they be better claiming refugee status?

I can't believe he is coming here when almost no one wants him here. He is so wrapped up in his own narcissism that he doesn't realize the strain of Presidential visit puts on a city and when you add to it that he is not exactly beloved here and has zero chance of healing anything it would have been best that he stay away. Hell even the leaders of his own party reocgnize this is a bad idea Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnel all turned down invites on top of the Democratic leaders. He won't even be joined by our mayor because we are burrying our dead President Dumbass. Funeral services begin today and he is coming. Always about him, never about anyone else.

That article is from April and involves an earlier caravan.

I suppose some here will say turn about is fair play, and "I told you so" to this story, but I think there is a substantial difference between supporting, even for political gain, credible accusations from un-coerced sources and outright attempting to fabricating them. I hope whoever is behind this is caught and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Such fabrications cannot be allowed, as they not only harm the falsely accused, they harm the entire movement of legitimate accusers. It would not surprise me if whoever did this has ties to the Trump WH. Whoever did it is despicable.

Making tragedies about Me really should be his slogan at this point

“Melania and I were treated very nicely yesterday in Pittsburgh. The Office of the President was shown great respect on a very sad & solemn day. We were treated so warmly. Small protest was not seen by us, staged far away. The Fake News stories were just the opposite-Disgraceful!“

Just STFU people died here and your take away from your visit is about how you were treated.

You mean this isn't the first caravan?

What do you mean, "at this point"? It has been SOP for 20 years, minimum.

I was thinking this also. So he's damned if he shows up or not.

No, but if the first one is a judge, then the reaction to this one is waaaaaaay overblown. I can only wonder why.

He was asked by the city leaders not to show up until after the funerals had completed because it was going to strain the cities resources. Waiting until later would have caused an interruption to his campaign tour events before the election.

He showed up, no one bothered him, the protesters were peaceful and his motorcade was directed around them as they weren't near the funeral or the site they were just walking the streets. Then he turned around with his typical me, me, me tweet.

And now Trump said he told the military that if immigrants throw rocks, it should be treated as rifle fire. He really seems to want to kill some of these immigrants as a deterrent. I guess he thinks that will be good for him. Really excite the base.

It certainly would and I bet his base would take the lead from there.

Many folks on this board (Right Wingers and Left alike) supported the same exact treatment of Palestinians on the Gaza strip... protesters said to be literally throwing sticks and stones have been gunned down by snipers, over and over again, with some of the Palestinians killed over a half a mile away. Since March, Israeli forces have killed 210 Palestinian protesters and injured 18000. Just wanted to point out this hypocrisy before we continue (doing so before Feral Slasher, it's usually his style)

Totally unsurprising statement from Trump. “We’re fighting a very politically correct war,” Trump said. “And the other thing with the terrorists — you have to take out their families. When you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families! They care about their lives, don’t kid yourselves. They say they don’t care about their lives. But you have to take out their families.” "If they throw rocks, treat it like rifle fire."...

But-but-but.... the left-wing MOBS! Some of our guys can't even eat dinner in peace! Right wingers are fucking delusional.
