This is one of the most apt political cartoon I’ve seen.

The Jacob Wohl press conference looks to have been a total success huge hilarious amusement for all, including Burkmsn with his flies undone and neither being able to explain how to spell the accusers name.

🤣🤣🤣

CONFIRMED: Donald Trump literally was making up numbers, when he said he’d send 15,000 troops to the border. Pentagon has heard nothing about that. This is a farce, that hurts our military.

Pentagon has no plans to send 15,000 troops to border for Trump stunt

Fox and CNN broadcasting this live. MSNBC not playing ball.

'From the Grand Jury report on Nixon that was unsealed yesterday after 44 years:

Nixon "instructed" the head of the Criminal Division at DOJ "not to investigate" one of the break-ins.

In other words, POTUS told him to 'let it go'. That was referred to the House for impeachment.'

Hes getting really steamed up about the caravan.

Will it all just fizzle after the elections?

I say consider it a rifle.

It has worked really well in Israel. Hmm

cozietoesie · 01/11/2018 22:24

Possibly, mini.Possibly.

It depends what he can insert into criticism of the GOP.

Minimammoth · 01/11/2018 22:28

According to the ‘Beast’ reporting the caravan are bringing disease, smallpox, possibly. ebolaHmm

Really?

TheClaws · 01/11/2018 23:54

This isn’t good. When the Pentagon sent troops to the border, not great. When POTUS authorises them to fire at what are essentially just refugees - not soldiers, not armies - that is horrifying. It will thrill his fans, though, and help with the election, so there’s that!

WTF? Trump has authorized the the military heading to the border to fire upon the families, if they throw a stone or rock to 'treat it as a firearm' and use lethal force.

This is bullshit. There's fucking rules of engagement.

A sobering opinion piece from a Chinese columnist discussing how the disintegration of ties between the US and China may be leading to the next World War. (South China Morning Post). For those interested, the South China Morning Post is a Hong Kong based publication owned by Alibaba. It is doubtful that it is independent of the Chinese Central People’s Government.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? I don’t want to sound alarmist, but - he’s building tent cities, putting refugees in them and not releasing them. Does that sound familiar to anyone?

Trump promises concentration camps and indefinite detention for border-crossers: "One other thing important we're not doing any releases anymore... We'll build tent cities, whatever we have to build in terms of housing. We're not doing releases."
