Trump: "Another big Caravan heading our way. Very hard to stop without a Wall!"

Gee, maybe last night's news made its way into the Oval Orifice.

Four tweets this morning (excerpts below, fuck him, I'm not going to link or post the whole tweets):

4). Another big Caravan heading our way. Very hard to stop without a Wall!

3). “It’s the Democrats keeping everything closed.” @JimInhofe So true!

2). Why would Nancy Pelosi leave the Country with other Democrats on a seven day excursion when 800,000 great people are not getting paid.

1). Border rancher: “We’ve found prayer rugs out here. It’s unreal.”

What I know is they are all over this hemisphere pushing their Fundie crap, their prosperity gospel, and interfering in politics. Blocks of them helped that lunatic in Brazil take over.

In these poor countries they fill a role with the medical and dental trips and catch the needy and gullible. The other thing is that many of the hotel jobs - cleaners, etc, are organized by them

However, it seems that the previous Caravans have been stopped without a wall. How many people from the previous caravans made it into the United States? It is not Democrats keeping the government closed. The House has passed numerous bill to reopen the government. Many of those bills would likely pass the Senate if Mitch McConnell would allow a vote; however, McConnell will not allow the legislation to come to a vote. Why would the President of the United States allow 800,000 people to go without pay just because he cannot get his way. I want proof of what that border rancher supposedly said.

and don't spit out your drink as you watch it.

“We don’t know how big this one’s going to get,” he said. “It’s about 2,000 but it could go to 7,000, 10,000, or 15,000.

Fox claiming 500 more migrants in caravan from Guatemala. Here's video proof: (video at bottom of article)
