The whole thing was a bull***t stunt, If Trump would do the right thing he wouldnt make such tough spots for himself. And since hes not talking about it at all, its obviously not a tough spot as much as it was hot air.

Can I borrow your crystal ball or your physic powers I need the winning lottery numbers for Sat. night.
Everything you have said is merely your opinion based on absolutely nothing! For one thing as I have asked over and over why would Trump need to gin up his own base to vote with some so-called political stunt? That makes no sense whatsoever!!!!!! Republicans wouldn't have gone to the polls without this caravan incident? Are you and yours completely nuts???

That issue is entirely on the Republicans, who were seeking to gin up the Trumplodyte base. That's it. You can't put lipstick on that pig and expect it to look or smell better.

There are 6,200 migrants at our border right now in Tijuana with 3 to 4 thousand more still on their way up here yet sending troops to the border was just a political stunt?


No, some of those troops were sent there on a temporary basis to install wire among other security measures. They will go home as soon as their job is done. The rest are still there and will continue to assist the Border Patrol. Why do you and yours have your panties all in a twist over this? You've been weeping and crying about this every day repeating yourselves over and over especially yapping over and over about this being a political stunt to secure votes. Read my prior post. Are you and yours completely nuts???? Move on, for God's sake!!!

I see, so it's supposedly the U.S.'s fault the state that Guatemala is from clear back in 1954 and yet their citizens didn't decide to flee until 2018?

If you need more evidence that Trump made fools of his supporters, Mattis now says the troops on the border will be unarmed. You read that right UNARMED.

The caravan is such a thread to the nation, we had to send unarmed troops to the border. What a joke. Trumpers when will you admit you have been used and abused by Trump?

Apparently they're going to help erect tents and serve refreshments to the refugees as well.

That's because they were sent there to support the Border Patrol, duh. Trump never said they'd be armed in the first place so you can stop with the "gotchas" right now.


Thousands of foreigners marching towards our border all at once expecting to be let in is a threat to our nation, duh. You and yours are the joke with your panties all in a twist all day in here over this caravan. I don't feel the least bit abused or lied to by Trump. He has done no such thing only in you lefty's demented minds by twisting and spinning the truth in here all day long.

Every day this caravan continues, I can't help but think it's all a political stunt... the quote from this BBC article really makes you wonder

What do the migrants want?
The migrants say they are leaving their respective countries in the hope of building a better future for themselves and their families.
How can anyone in their right mind buy that?

Why an entire caravan of people? Why migrate here now under Trump's government? Why not under Obama's? How do tens of thousands of people organize something like this, and more importantly, who exactly is doing the organizing? What exactly changed that made all of these people come to the realization that they needed to come up to the US at a time when they knew perfectly well border laws would be tightened?

It's all such BS. If there is anything that needs to be investigated right now it's this caravan... Who is behind all of it... I'd really like to know.

Default Sharing with the migrants.

Wanting to do my part to give comfort to the poor, invading herd at the border, I just donated all the Romaine lettuce I took out of the Shopright trash container to the caravan horde.

BON APPETIT!
