Agree completely.

This could in fact be the point where Trump turns it all to his advantage and transforms the election into a slam dunk.

It all depends on how he handles it.

This last move is yugely encouraging.

Can’t Congress reconvene an emergency session and pass a law changing that we have to take in every pretend Refugee that is out there? That was a stupid law in the first place. Or Trump can pass an executive order giving a list of countries that we will take refugees from. Only those that truly are oppressed.

For good reason, these are not circus caravans. These are invaders.

In Oaxaca, Mexico, a tiny town was distributing sandwiches and water to migrants camped all over their town when a man with a megaphone asked people to wait their turn.- The invaders beat him up and the police had to rescue him and deliver him to the hospital.

The Mexicans are complaining that the invaders are smoking pot and leaving their trash and uneaten food disrespectfully all over the place.

And the new caravan at the Guat-Mex border is armed with guns and firebombs. They are throwing rocks, firecrackers, and broken bottles at the Mexican BP. Mexico has shut down at least one of the border stations where the violent invaders are trying to cross.

Not enough. Should be at least 25,000 strong.

We don’t need to attack him though. Mistakes are mistakes. The media will attack him no matter what, this won’t make one bit of difference. When you need to put our support behind him. It has to be exhausted, he is doing the work the entire Congress should be doing as well as his own job.

Have you seen the video demonstrating the heat radar device. It looks like a big DISH and causes extreme heat on the top layer of skin.

I have severe arm disabilities, so I am dictating. And I can’t correct it on my tablet. Sorry, everyone will just have to figure out what I think I mean :-)

I’m not attacking him. I’m just frustrated. If this was off the cuff, he should know better. And if he had prepared remarks, then some stupid staff writer is to blame.

I’m not writing or giving a speech. I’m in NJ. Trump’s from NY. That day was horrific. I watched it. I lived it. And I remember that the NYSE was closed. And I remember that the Yankees didn’t play. He made up comments about George Steinbrenner. Why? Why give them the fodder?

It makes me think sometimes he does just speak without thinking and lies because he thinks no one will a) care b_ remember or c) check. It’s just dumb.

Add another zero or two to that number. And lots of ammo.

The first 800 were only to do paperwork just like the last group did. Hope we aren’t looking at 5000 needed to do paperwork and let in the invaders.

Does NOT kill.

Feels like you just opened that oven too soon with the chocolate chip cookies.

Expect state leaders in California and New Mexico to obstruct, if not outright attack federal troops doing their jobs

Treason is still on the books.

Now we’re talking about enough troops to actually do something.
