Trump tweets:
"Funny how lowly rated CNN, and others, can criticize me at will, even blaming me for the current spate of Bombs and ridiculously comparing this to September 11th and the Oklahoma City bombing, yet when I criticize them they go wild and scream, “it’s just not Presidential!”"

I guess he will soon let us know why he capitalises 'Bombs'.
To his credit, he's gone a full 24 hours without vilifying a political opponent.

you are ignoring his no.1 enemy: the media.
 
The moron seems to be total ignorant of the fact that it's the media's job to criticize the President. It's not the President's job to criticize the Media.
 
Confidence-inducing!

In opioid-like daze, Trump nearly forgets to sign opioid bill.

Also, threw in attacks on Democrats even when the bill was strongly bipartisan, apparently.

On the positive side, it's signing a bill to help deal with the opioid problem, and it's one more example of Democrats being willing to work with Republicans when what they're trying to do is actually likely to be a positive thing, rather than blocking it purely out of partisan spite like the Republicans have a history of doing.


And now for something completely different. A much different perspective the background of the highly publicized caravan than is generally portrayed.

Of particular note...

From 1979 to 1990, the United States provided financial, logistical, and military support to the Contras in Nicaragua, who committed 1300 terrorist attacks in their opposition to the Nicaraguan government. They continued to receive support in spite of their obvious human rights violations.

The mess the United States made of Central America forced many to flee their native lands due to the war and poverty that had overtaken their countries. The U.S. is responsible for the wars that have left places like, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua in such hazardous conditions.

The 1980's was when the big influx of Central American immigrants began. The 1980 Refugee Act declared “anyone eligible for political asylum who had suffered persecution or who had a 'well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion “ could seek asylum from the mess of our creation. And it is for this reason people are still fleeing many of the Central American countries which are still in very bad shape.

People have been leaving El Salvador and Guatemala to escape the strife of the U.S.-funded death squads and warlords that are ruling those countries.

While we are told bout caravans that are allegedly made up of criminals, Middle Eastern terrorists, and rapists in order to create a fictitious threat from which only the creators of the fiction can protect us. We are being distracted so we hopefully forget that the misguided, failed foreign and economic U.S. policies cause the caravans from Hondurans, Guatemalans and Salvadorans fleeing the generals and oligarchs supported by billions of U.S. tax dollars wasted over decades.

The U.S. supported regimes in Guatemala and Honduras fuel the violence and instability that makes life unbearable for ordinary citizens. The U.S. pours hundreds of millions of U.S. tax dollars into training corrupt police and security forces in Honduras and Guatemala. .

President Nixon launched The U.S. drug war in 1971 that pushed cartels from Colombia into Central America while Latin American leaders implored the U.S. to take a different approach to drug consumption in this country. If drug laws were more realistic there would be less money to be made in producing and selling drugs, and there would be less inter-cartel warfare with civilian collateral damage.

Maras, the international criminal organizations that terrorize Central American communities, better known as MS 13, is a creation of the United States as it came about when Los Angeles street gangs were exported and then grew in the chaotic wake of the civil wars the U.S. government stoked in the countries to which the gang members were sent.

And... hey! Here's something that might be useful! The “Everything Terrible The Trump Administration Has Done So Far” Omnibus

It's so easily to miss and forget things, after all. They're up to over a thousand entries, now.

And to jump around again, yet more evidence of how far past racism we are. White trio with gun threatens black volunteer at Charlotte polling site

It’s interesting that when white people call the police on black people and claim they feel insecure around them, it is frequently for banal things like attending their child’s soccer game; but when the police are called on white folks, it’s usually for acting super sketchy and frightening—and lo and behold, they even sometimes end up being domestic terrorists. Derek Partee is a Republican. He is also black, and he lives in North Carolina. He told police that three white people, pictured below in a Facebook post written by Partee, began harassing and threatening him, dropping N-bombs, and showing they were carrying firearms, all while he was working at a polling place in Charlotte.

<snip>

According to the Raleigh, North Carolina, News & Observer, Wayne was “charged with ethnic intimidation, communicating threats, disorderly conduct and going armed to the terror of the public.” Partee spoke with the paper, and gave a breakdown of his interaction with these nightmares.

“He said something about being a Republican, I said I am a Republican, he said ‘Motherf***** you ain’t s***,’” Partee said.

“They didn’t care whether I was a Democrat or a Republican, they just cared that I was black.”

Republicans, the party that racists think embrace them, these days.

On voting problems... Texas voting machines changing some straight-party selections.

Remember, always verify your selections!
 
I wouldn't be surprised if the RNC and Trump Campaign get together several million pesos to bus the asylum seekers to the border for election eve. They're not scaring many people other than the already converted with a group that's six hundred miles away, on foot, and looking anything but threatening. Large crowds don't walk real fast and they're breaking rather early each afternoon so I'd be surprised if they're making as much as fifteen miles a day. They'll be at the border if they get that far in forty or fifty days. Be a fine Thanksgiving

Mad Dog has said he'll tiptoe around the Constitution and send eight hundred armed forces, who as we all know are not allowed to get involved in domestic policing or law enforcement. If there are 20,000 marchers, Donnie Johnny and Jefferson the Traitor Elf will probably gauge the results on turnout so I expect to see 20,001 ICE, National Guard, Army, CBP. Pinkerton and Andy and Barney from Mayberry P.D.

It's par for the course for Politicians to promise to do to things once elected that they'll never do.
Trump is promising to do things before an election that he'll never do.
His voters are a special kind of stupid.

I'll gladly pay you next Tuesday for a hamburger midterm vote today.

So while the Republicans are talking about cutting Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare so as to reduce the massive Budget deficits, Trump is out campaigning that they are going to put through a 10% tax cut for the middle class on Nov 1st, something that can't actually be done because Congress isn't in session until after the Election!

How screwed up is this?

“I would have put it into the original bill,” Trump said, referring to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which he signed into law last December. “But we couldn’t have done it originally because we ― you know, we’ve become ― I mean, we’re doing really well. The numbers are really good.”

I generally only tune in Fox News at 3P or 4P for Shepherd Smith and/ot Neil Cavuto. And they seem perfectly willing to point out inconsistencies in the president’s words and actions.

Maybe there’s a “bubble within a bubble” of Fox New viewers who intentionally avoid those two hours?
 
Trump Tweets

"Republicans are doing so well in early voting, and at the polls, and now this “Bomb” stuff happens and the momentum greatly slows - news not talking politics. Very unfortunate, what is going on. Republicans, go out and vote!"

"Twitter has removed many people from my account and, more importantly, they have seemingly done something that makes it much harder to join - they have stifled growth to a point where it is obvious to all. A few weeks ago it was a Rocket Ship, now it is a Blimp! Total Bias?

"The United States has been spending Billions of Dollars a year on Illegal Immigration. This will not continue. Democrats must give us the votes to pass strong (but fair) laws. If not, we will be forced to play a much tougher hand."

3 - 4 pm is dinner time for Fox viewers.

It may not be intentional if the only time that Smith/Cavuto is on during the day is from 3-5. Some of their potential viewers will be working at the time, and anyone not working may either be dealing with children returning from school or preparing for dinner. They overlook Smith/Cavuto and gravitate to Hannity/Carlson largely because the latter have more desirable slots on the schedule.

I like to judge how outrageous a certain Tweet is by how many comments it generates. This one is up to 42,000 and counting, a new record as far as I can remember. (Usually it's about 2,000-5,000)
