THIS is what set off Trump's crazy tweet minutes ago about dangerous "caravans" crossing the border

[highplainsdem]

RWNJ Tomi Lahren on Fox & Friends. Here's their tweet about it, with video:

Link to tweet

.@tomilahren on migrant marchers headed to US: We can have compassion for these people but it doesn’t mean the laws don’t matter - Americans come first

Notice the chyron there:

CARAVAN OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS HEADED TO U.S.


Trump's tweet, which followed his "Happy Easter" tweet by an hour and a half:

Link to tweet

Border Patrol Agents are not allowed to properly do their job at the Border because of ridiculous liberal (Democrat) laws like Catch & Release. Getting more dangerous. “Caravans” coming. Republicans must go to Nuclear Option to pass tough laws NOW. NO MORE DACA DEAL!

Editing to add that Trump might be particularly fond of Tomi Lahren now because she suggested last week that Trump can't be impeached because he won the election "and the American people have spoken":

https://shareblue.com/fox-news-tomi-lahren-trump-impeach/

She was ridiculed for that on Twitter as well. For instance:

Link to tweet

Leaping to Trump’s defense, Fox News contributor #TomiLahren declares that #Tump cannot be impeached because he won the electoral college vote.

A couple of French Fries short of a Happy Meal, I'm thinking that Tomi was homeschooled by #BetsyDeVos

[spanone]

1. and he says the Washington Post should register as lobbyists....what about faux, eh don?

they should put trump on the payroll

[malaise]

4. Anything or anyone pro the Con

can do what they want

[spanone]

7. yep, as long as you kiss his ass

[OhNo-Really]

35. she reminds him of Ivanka

[Rorey]

56. I thought you were going to say....

Anything or anyone pro the Con ................can rot in hell. Or can kiss my ass.

Something along those lines.

[dalton99a]

2. Lazy brainless moron

[forgotmylogin]

48. Can't bother with the PDB...shunts it to Jared...

but gets all his info from Fox.

Fox should rename their morning show "The President's Daily Briefing with Steve Doocy, Brian Kilmeade, and Ainsley Earhardt".

And I'm sure he'd love to do some "consulting" with Tomi. She very likely reminds him of Ivanka.

[CatMor]

3. Is the caravan on camels....

That was the image I had in.my head when I read his tweet.

[onethatcares]

34. me too.....

visions of Lawrence of Arabia ran through my mind as I pictured the Bedouins traveling to the west coast of Africa then on to America.

[CatMor]

36. Love the description....

[deminks]

5. Most toddlers watch cartoons in the early morning.

Too bad there is no Captain Kangaroo or Mr. Rogers, Howdy Doody anymore.

[Hortensis]

6. The girl put to much emphasis on niceness in Dems.

She'll clean her act up.

[dembotoz]

8. is a caravan a line of 2 taco trucks?

[backtoblue]

55. Help is coming!!

Save us taco trucks from this monster!!!!

[BannonsLiver]

9. Where do they get this shit?

Caravans?

Seriously if I had this worldview where I was miserable all the time and paranoid about everything to the point where I can no longer function or find any joy in the world, I’d hope someone would have the decency to euthanize me humanely. These people are tortured, deeply sad and disturbed, likely beyond help.

[forgotmylogin]

49. CARAVANS!

(Get to work, Randy Rainbow!)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Dolt 45 has access to some of the best intelligence sources in the world,

which he ignores and maligns, preferring to get his "intelligence" from Faux Snooze.

There is, apparently, a group of people from Honduras and El Salvador, a large percentage of whom are women and children, who are walking through Mexico (not really a "caravan," since that implies vehicles), intending to seek asylum in the U.S. They can't be called "illegal" immigrants since they are not actually in the U.S., illegally or otherwise. (If they do receive asylum - which is doubtful, considering - they won't be "illegal." ) This is what's got Trump and Fox all freaked out. http://www.laht.com/article.asp?ArticleId=2453477&CategoryId=14091

[Botany]

13. Why listen to the State Dept., the CIA, the Border patrol, and others when you can have....

.... "right wing political porn" btw is it just me or her voice really irritating?

[Eyeball_Kid]

20. Trumpy can't wait to get Lahren and Caroline Sunshine in a screaming match.

He'd be all drool and no diapers.

[CottonBear]

22. Lahren is styled like a porn actress not a journalist.

No offense to porn actresses.

Of course, Faux Snooze doesn’t actually hire real journalists.

[keithbvadu2]

30. FOX 'journalists' vs porn stars

[pangaia]

37. Looks like she's been on her knees all night.

Oh, jeeze, I can't believe I typed that.





Did I?

OMG. yes, I did.

[argyl]

47. Maybe shell get Laura Ingrahams time slot. Either that or a Trump Cabinet spot.

All you have to do is look at that photo and see she’s qualified for both. She’s young, blonde, pretty, and has no problem flashing her shapely legs.

[dixiegrrrrl]

58. Hmmm...I see they hired a Targaryen.

[Botany]

61. i have a new word a Targaryen

[Demit]

50. Historically, a caravan actually is a group of travelers.

The adoption of the word to mean a vehicle came later. So the usage is correct.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

51. OK, fair enough.

But I'm sure Trump thinks, or at least means that others should think, that this caravan is comprised of busloads of thousands of crazed criminals who intend to swarm the border for the purpose of bringing in drugs and raping white women.

[Demit]

54. A few people are thinking it in this thread, making jokes about vehicles.

I guess because Americans' first reference point is "Dodge Caravan"?

Anyway, the Latin American Herald Tribune article explains what's happening very well. Also uses the word 'caravan' multiple times. Thanks for linking to it. People should read it.

[blogslut]

11. And here is a clear-headed report on what is actually happening (they're asylum seekers)

https://www.buzzfeed.com/adolfoflores/a-huge-caravan-of-central-americans-is-headed-for-the-us?utm_term=.mtaBBVNxRO#.do2yy89g7G

...For five days now hundreds of Central Americans — children, women, and men, most of them from Honduras — have boldly crossed immigration checkpoints, military bases, and police in a desperate, sometimes chaotic march toward the United States. Despite their being in Mexico without authorization, no one has made any effort to stop them.

Organized by a group of volunteers called Pueblos Sin Fronteras, or People Without Borders, the caravan is intended to help migrants safely reach the United States, bypassing not only authorities who would seek to deport them, but gangs and cartels who are known to assault vulnerable migrants.

Organizers like Rodrigo Abeja hope that the sheer size of the crowd will give immigration authorities and criminals pause before trying to stop them.

“If we all protect each other we'll get through this together,” Abeja yelled through a loudspeaker on the morning they left Tapachula, on Mexico's border with Guatemala, for the nearly monthlong trek...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. Sadly, the United States is no longer a place people can come to for asylum.

They will be turned back at the border.

[True Blue American]

28. April Fool, Donald?

[TheBlackAdder]

12. Tomi Lahren brain farts might affect public policy? Those 'caravans' are Trump's H1-B visa workers.

[Canoe52]

14. He was for DACA, then signed an EO against it, then was for it

and said it was the dems fault we don’t have DACA, now he’s against it again. Do I have that right?

I’m kinda confused here.

[Danmel]

15. Perhaps thinking of Van Morrison?

Nah. He hates music.
https://m.

[Eyeball_Kid]

16. Trumpy's got to be thinking about hiring Lahren for Deputy First Lady...

... but she'll have to compete with 23 year-old Caroline Sunshine. Trumpy is going to the meme, "You're smart and beautiful, just like... Ivanka's daughter!" Trumpy may be ready to toss Ivanka under the bus. She's losing her cutsie daughter appeal and is beginning to show signs of "Death to Glamor", MIDDLE AGE. Trumpy is apparently ready to move on to fresh young things Lahren and Sunshine.

If Fox and Friends came up with "new evidence" that the world is flat, Trumpy would be all in with his tweets about a round earth being fake news. What's more dangerous is if F&F decided to air phony studies about the effectiveness of torture or the inferior intelligence of blacks. Trumpy would pop an artery, but in a good way.

[highplainsdem]

17. Just edited the OP to add what Lahren said about impeachment last week. Clueless.

[Frustratedlady]

18. I can just hear him saying, after his final tweet about DACA..."I've got them all stirred up, now...

Let's go play golf!"

What an ignorant set of tweets to post on Easter.

[highplainsdem]

23. Agree. I've seen tweets saying he's been spending more than 6 hours a day at his golf club.

And Hannity played a few holes of golf with him yesterday, after having dinner with him the night before.

[Ferrets are Cool]

21. sounds like she wants the job that Hicks just vacated....

and she fits the profile that "spanky" requires.

[FakeNoose]

26. She has to show him she's good with a steam iron

[Ferrets are Cool]

29. lol

[Bernardo de La Paz]

24. "Tomi Lahren is one of America's great intellectuals." -- Rep (R) Grant Chuntley, Missouri

A symptom of dumbed-down RepubliCons. They are so dumbed down that even the dumbed-down ones get elected.

Replying to @foxandfriends @TomiLahren

Tomi Lahren is one of America's great intellectuals. We are so blessed to have her.

[snort]

43. Fake

[Bernardo de La Paz]

46. Thanks. You are correct. . . . . nt

[lame54]

25. And she reminds him of Ivanka

[JDC]

27. The "Left" and their crazy Humanitarianism, Graciousness.

And being good people. That's where we get it wrong apparently.

These are the people that claim they follow Christianity. They are a cartoonish joke at best v

Fox News is full of shitty people, designed for shitty people. They can all Fuck right off with their 24/7 hate.

[AJT]

31. And where is she getting that nonsense?

[bigtree]

32. dangerously ignorant

...informing himself by a network deliberately gaslighting their viewership.

The frightening thing is how these false impressions and reports are influencing his policies and actions. He's a loose cannon with a short fuse.

[Pepsidog]

33. Caravans of people coming to USA to take jobs Americans wont and who are vital to agriculture

[rockfordfile]

38. This is clearly planned ahead of time. To spew stupid crap.

[duforsure]

39. Its called auditioning for

A white house job. He's got them saying anything for a chance to get inside it to lie for him now. Scar, and many others doing the same thing. Who can create the biggest fraudulent story or claim , or accusation, to get his attention with gets a chance at it. Also shows how big a fraud he is, and how little he knows or understands. Just look at his other appointments who are incompetent followers willing to say or do anything to please the dictators wishes.

[weissmam]

40. Tomi dear

remember you get paid for this, and the crazier the more you get paid, so we know where its coming from

[moosewhisperer]

41. Right after "Happy Easter"

I see he's spending Easter Sunday morning in church, reflecting on love for humanity.

[Turbineguy]

42. So if somebody in Fox News decides

it's time to blow up the planet, Trump will do it.

[DFW]

44. If Fox and Frauds ever developed a technical glitch, stopping a broadcast from airing

Trump would develop a sudden case of vocal and digital laryngitis, until his scriptwriters got their show back up and running.

[grantcart]

45. Probably responding to significant increase of Mex Police finding migrants in dangerous conditions

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - More than 100 Central American migrants, including dozens of minors, were found crowded inside a sweltering truck without food or water in Mexico en route to the United States, authorities said on Friday.

The 136 migrants, from Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua, were rescued in the violent southeastern state of Veracruz after 24 hours in temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celsius), Mexico’s migration institute INM said.

Tens of thousands of Central Americans fleeing violence and poverty in their homelands aim to pass through Mexico to the United States every year, often transported by human traffickers who subject them to perilous conditions.

More than 800 Central American migrants have been found in truck trailers or safe houses in Mexico so far this year, according to a government document seen by Reuters.

[treestar]

52. Winning the Electoral College vote makes you the only person in the

world who CAN be impeached. What an idiot.

[Demit]

57. Judges can be impeached.

[treestar]

59. OK, but that one particular procedure

mentioned for the POTUS may be unique. Or, at least we can say, winning the EC vote is no shield from it. It puts you in a position to make it possible.

[SunSeeker]

53. Sickening. Spewing hate towards immigrants, even on Easter.

Shitler has no shame. None.

[Fritz Walter]

60. No, it's all cool: he went to church this morning

After the Twitter-tantrum, so all is forgiven. His soul is squeaky-clean again, and he went to play another round of golf.

Never mind the fact that he bolted from the service before it was over. No doubt, the germ-phobic didn't want to shake hands with the unwashed members of the congregation. And having to repeat the aggressive yank so many times would have worn him out.

[calimary]

62. Just another brainless blonde Pox-ette with her mouth open

They’re a dime a dozen.

BORING!!!!

[Wednesdays]

63. Dangerous caravans?

[Ilsa]

64. In years past, middle class and upper middle class Mexicans would

drive up I-35 from Nuevo Laredo through Laredo up to San Antonio and Austin to shop for 2-4 days. They spent a lit of money on hotels, eating out, and shopping.

I guess IQ45 doesn't like those caravans.
