Cont: The Trump Presidency X: 10-10 'til we do it again

[dudalb]

Sorry, how will US soldiers die in any significant numbers? This is not Vietnam.

If we decide on regime change in one of the "Trio Of Tyranny" countires it will get ugly.

I don't think the GOP is quite that clever, but other then that I could actually buy into that.

It's no more ridiculous than the idea that it was organized by the Democrats.

Which I suspect is the point.

 

[Stacko]

You do realise that's crazy, right?


Are you... are you trying to expose the insanity of the far-right?

Trump’s suggestion that US soldiers would shoot at rock-throwers was enough for retired Gen. Dempsey to say something direct in response.

Our men and women in uniform are better trained, better equipped, and better led so they meet any threat with confidence. A wasteful deployment of over-stretched Soldiers and Marines would be made much worse if they use force disproportional to the threat they face. They won’t.​

Be fair. It's a wide border. If one really thought that a group was intent on coming through, the issue wouldn't be the number of the other side, but the length of the border one has to protect.

Not a defense of Trump, but this criticism isn't apt.

If 3000 refugees are spread across the length of the border, how much of a threat could they really be? Thinning them out disperses the threat...

The question I have, if the Dems take the house will be blame fraudulent votes or Paul Ryan and other Republicans who contradicted him?

False dichotomy. It's not an "or" question.

I think things are going to get worse exponentially over the next five days. The PDJT always has to top himself.

Escalating numbers seems to be Trump's way of re-injecting issues into the news every day. "Trump now says..."

There's already been talk of Central American countries not keeping their citizens in. Maybe it's time to install some regimes that will. Anyone got Kissinger's number?

Trump knows the Caravan is yuge because...

I’m pretty good at estimating crowd size

You can't make this stuff up.

What doesn't Trump think he's just the very bestest at?

Can't argue with that

So not the caravan.

Wot? Are you actually trying to claim they'd use photos of crowds that aren't really photos of the crowd they want you to believe it is? Oh, come now! Surely, you must jest.

 

[ferd burfle]

When you say things like that it makes me think of all the different kinds of pussy trump could been there to grab.

I see what you did there

So rocks are to be considered as dangerous as rifles?

I've yet to see a thrown rock that would go through a helmet or shield. But in Trump's alternate reality, anything is possible.

That's one of those self-writing jokes where Jon Stewart could just mug into the camera and it would be hilarious.

When I was a kid we used to fire shots at each other and dodge the incoming bullets. My brother would always be the one to get hit in the head and die. Or was it throw rocks at each other and no one get seriously hurt? So long ago.

Exactly. And as if 15,000 troops are even necessary to handle approximately 3000 refugee's who may not even make it to the American Mexican boarder.

 

[Ladewig]

President Trump goes on record about his campaign promise to never lie to the American public and unintentionally makes his most honest statement ever: “I tell the truth when I can.”

Yes, Mr. President, that is the problem in a nutshell. You very seldom can tell the truth.

 

[The_Animus]

Come on. We don't really believe that.

But I've learned from Republicans that if you claim something is a dirty trick by the other side and preface it with "There have been reports" or "Many people are saying", then it must be true!

So obviously the caravan is a Koch funded, Republican organized, plot to bring out the anti immigrant vote. I mean a lot of people are saying this. Just look at the timing, so close to the election.

Checkmate!

Agreed.

"Border Patrol agent killed by 'rock throwers' in ambush attack near US-Mexico border in Texas."
