    Trump’s migrant caravan fear-mongering has stopped since the midterms
    After the media amplified Republicans' caravan conspiracy theories for weeks.

    https://thinkprogress.org/donald-tr...idterm-elections-media-coverage-a379a950e7ad/

    Hey, remember the migrant caravan traveling north from Central America that President Donald Trump and conservatives were freaking out about as recently as Monday?

    You know, the caravan that Republicans used to spread conspiracy theories as their closing argument before the midterms?

    Well something curious has happened since Tuesday’s elections.

    The migrant caravan, which finally reached Mexico City, Mexico (still roughly 800 miles from the U.S. border) earlier this week after nearly a month of traveling, has completely disappeared from Trump’s Twitter account.
    ..................................................................................................................
    The minions resisted the notion they were being played by the Bigot-in-Chief's delirium over impoverished people seeking asylum. Not the first time they failed to recognize one of Don's cons......and surely not the last.

    With the election over and the release of the Mueller report looming it's on to more diversions. One that re-occurred is baseless accusations of voter fraud in FL as Scott's lead over Nelson shrinks. Seeing as Kris Kobach won't be doing any more damage in KS after losing the governor's race perhaps he can go down to FL and fail to find any voter fraud like what happened when he looked for it nationally.

    Celebrity presidency - waffle a bunch of ridiculous and incoherent bullshit, irritate the **** out of as many people as possible, stay in the news endlessly, exploit the adoration/hatred for personal gain. His cult are probably all people traumatised by and attuned to being abused somehow or other.

    So the leftist MSM has stopped talking about it.

    What are you trying to point out again?

    Would you like me to explain to you who has been talking about the caravan?

    I'll help you out here.

    It's called the MSM. You see, they're the one's who stick all of this in front of your face, not Trump.

    The reason the MSM isn't talking about it anymore is they don't want you to know about the hundreds of them who are being abducted by drug cartels and sold into sex slavery.

    Something made possible by leftists.

    As to why members of the right aren't themselves worried about it anymore, well, that would be because the US military is on the border handling ****, and Trump passed an EO that doesn't let border crashers request amnesty.

    But.......you understand Don tweeted about the caravan constantly, right? You understand Don ranted about it endlessly at the dozens of rallies he held, right? You understand Faux flogged the issue 24/7, right? You understand it was a talking point among the GOP candidates, right? And you understand it was done to scare the base and rile them up so they'd vote, right? And you understand it was a hoax, right? One that all of a sudden Don stopped talking and tweeting about cuz the election is over. You get all that, right?

    Probably not.

    Well let me help.

    He's still tweeting, he's not holding any more rallies, so that explains that.

    Thousands of people heading towards the border was a hoax? Are you sure about that?

    Here you go, two releases today from the WH on this issue.

    You do remember that he tends to hit back. If the MSM is not hitting him on it, he will likely not hit back.

    But........that isn't how the Liar-in-Chief characterized it, is it? He called it an invasion. He threatened that the troops he sent would shoot at immigrants legally applying for asylum.
    Once again, this was done to gin up and rally the base to vote. He was playing you. But like all cult followers you can't see it.

    The media covered the story because the prez perpetrating an overt fraud on voters is a story.

    Trump and his propaganda arm, Fox News, have gone quiet on the 'caravan', as expected. The election is over, no need to try and scare anyone and pander to the Trump cult. He's also gone quiet on the '10% middle class tax cut' as well as 'progress on China trade talks' - both of these were pre-election BS also.

    I guess CNN's Jim Acosta didn't get the word and got his White House press credentials taken away from him. :roflol::rock_slayer:

    I dunno, I'm hearing about it on the hour and just recently heard if the louse carriers don't check in at a port of entry and they are caught they forfeit the right to asylum!

    Maybe you should venture out, clearly you are missing a lot by your own admission ;)

    The unknown Pentagon sources. "multiple Pentagon sources with knowledge of the directive told Newsweek."
    It does not have to threaten national security to have a reason to stop them. It is illegal. In spite of what various sources have claimed, they will try to crash their way in rather than come through ports of entry. That is what they did coming into Mexico and we can expect no differently when they get here.

    Additionally, the military is down there to provide housing. We do not have sufficient housing for them while they await their hearing. If they let them go, most will not come back. Those that try to a port of entry will be provided housing while they are awaiting a hearing. Those that try to crash the border will be refused entry. Just like it should be.

    It is an invasion.

    What do you call thousands of military age men waving foreign flags trying to illegally cross your border?

    An invasion.

    The military has been sent to help the BP set up and get ready for the caravan which is some 2 weeks or so away iirc. The election was won, and the prep laid out, there is nothing to wail about until they actually arrive.
