As of last night the Mexican gov’t counted 4,500 migrants in the soccer stadium. Do you want to argue that that’s not a lot of people?
I think the poster believes facts are what he sees in his magic 8 ball.

I disagree. They will cross soon, while the weather is still tolerable and not too cold yet. Some of them will stay in Mexico, some will splinter off toward the west coast, and the rest can jump a train and be here in a couple days. Nationwide media won’t stay on the story, but print news and local tv stations here along the border will.

There. Now you’re up to speed. Go hate away.

Cannot remember your own posts?

No it is in no way "enormous". 50,000 or 100,000 would be enormous. It is simply a mild uptick easily handled.

And the US army said early on that about 20% of the original 7,000 would actually make it to the border.

And let's not forget about Benghazi and her emails which stopped on back in 2016 too.

I personally think 4,500 migrants is an enormous amount of people. You don’t. So what we have is a disagreement of terms. Oh well.

Me either. I think they should ignore Trump altogether. But of course they won't.

Many of the most active Trump supporters in the political section are condescending and nasty towards people who don't agree with them, so I dish it right back. I'm nasty and condescending right back to them.

There are a few decent people on this site who support Trump or are at least pretty far right-leaning. I don't agree with hardly any of their political opinions, but they can actually hold civil conversations so I am polite with them when debating.

But I have no problem being a jerk to the Trump supporters who are jerks themselves. Many of them like Trump's behavior because they are rude just like him, so I just dish it right back to them.

But any and everyone here who is kind, regardless of political opinions, I am kind and respectful back to them.

I'm sure I could find plenty of posts of yours where you replied nastily to a poster that wasn't nasty to you but I'll leave it at that.


Here's something you said that was a complete exaggeration. How do exaggerations help encourage civil discussion?


Quote: "So in other words, before the midterms, conservative outlets and political commercials wanted to convince people that a group of "killer migrants who were going to invade America." But as soon as the midterms are over, Fox News, Breitbart, etc now aren't even covering the caravan anymore, because it's a nothing burger".


No one said that. There are some unsavory people in the caravan according to the DHS site I provided but no one said that all or many of them are "killer migrants".


We also set you straight on your implications that conservative news sources and Trump have stopped covering the caravan because the mid term elections are over. I set you straight that there was a meeting yesterday with Trump to change our asylum requirements which is to be singed tomorrow. I got that from a news source. You were also told by another poster that the caravan is resting in Mexico City right now so what's there to report?

The percentage will most likely be lower than 20% by the time they get to the border. In the past a lot of them either turned around or just stayed in Mexico.

So what do liberals want? The troops are at the border with concertina wire and the navy is building tent cities. Do they want to know more about the caravan? Do they believe it doesn't exist?


Nah. As usual, liberals don't want anything. Just complain. They complain if the media talks about the caravan, complain if it doesn't. They complain if it is called an invasion. Complain if criminals are discovered in the ranks.
Liberals don't want anything. They wouldn't know how to get it if they did want something.


Hey Lib! You don't want to talk about the caravan? Then shut up about it. We'll take care of it.
