Question From Cali.. Late this eve.

[busterbrown]

This Caravan...I realize that the Caravan is all about Desperation ... However, Why wasn't there anyone in the organization of this desperate maneuver aware of the kind of optics which would supply Trump and his Racist supporters..all the optics he would need.. Or was it the case that desperation has no room for politics which I understand.. But the sad fact is that this march to safety might energize a huge part of our population to
vote for Repubs ..here is a dumb question but i'll ask it.. Couldn't they have waited till after the midterms?

Yea i know.. Desperation knows no boundaries... So I think I answered my own question.. It seems so unfucking fair that good people get caught up in this crap!

1. Ditto!

That is exactly what I was thinking when I watched the news on CNN this AM. BAD timing!!! It could hurt the Dems but these people aren't concerned about that, they are afraid for their lives. They are desperate.

2. I don't have the answer.

Isn't it possible that agitators of some kind engineered this for right now?

I am not saying that in any way to diminish the desperation of these people.

But he keeps saying they are paid to come here now to steal the votes of his base.

Isn't it possible that some Trump entity has made this happen, baiting these people somehow?

3. All it might take is a printed notice at the other end.

Come to America. We are waiting to give you safety.

[royable]

6. I keep thinking that exact same thing.

Drumpf and minions consistently and constantly accuse the opposition of what they themselves are guilty of.

I think they paid someone to sow the seeds of getting that caravan created and moving north at this exact time.

(To be clear, though, in no way do I think the people in the caravan are faking their need to escape from where they had been living.)

[Grasswire2]

7. and blaming it on Soros.

Of course.

And if the people DO get to America, Trump's peeps will make billions of dollars off housing and feeding them...again.

It's a win win for Trump, with great ROI. (Return On Investment)

4. I see these people as they are, refugees and trump couldn't care less about their plight.

Democrats need to stand for our long tradition of helping those seeking asylum. FUCK TRUMP

[JayhawkSD]

5. Refugees? Fleeing for safety? Desperate?

Except that everyone of the people in the caravan, when asked why they were trekking north, replied with words to the effect of, "There are no jobs."

Not one person spoke of danger of fleeing for their lives. It was about coming north to find a job. That is not what the international amnesty act is all about.

8. Isn't the timing inconvenient??

It's almost as if someone over in Trumpland planned it this way.
