Tbh I put little stock in what my President says. I expect this caravan will be processed orderly and peacefully.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

What's wrong with the timing?

Nothing, if you care little about the fact that your President is leading a bunch of white nationalists to think that killing people is a great idea.

I think when the President says stupid stuff, that's a great time to make a joke about it.  Helps when the joke is actually funny, of course.

Throw rocks back at them?

Really? You are going to defend this?

It was a joke.  FFS, lighten up people.

It was not funny, and hardly the time to be making a joke.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I agree, a humour is a great tool to criticize.  Not what Spicey does.

Gotta own them libs. That's more important than policy to the idiot Right these days.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Poland is one of the safest countries because it didn't accept illegal migration.

Poland was the country with most immigration in the EU in 2017. Mostly Ukrainians, but more than 600.000 IIRC. I guess it was legal immigration though.

I think the truly decisive factor there is skin colour. Much harder to induce fear with pictures of white people moving in.

You know, when a few thousand people marched/tried to get into Hungary, it was still fucking disgusting to have reactions like Syt's sister, but at least it was about those people trying to get in to a tightly packed problem-ridden little country (ignoring the fact that they had no intention of staying).

But to be able to make a good number of people lose their shit in the richest country on Earth that spans a bloody continent, over a few thousands of woud-be migrants, is really, really shows humanity in a bad light.

Given all the bad blood between Poles and Ukrainians till WWII, that's actually impressive.
Can't blame the Poles for trying to choose their immigration though, lest they want a French banlieue situation.

I don't see how this caravan benefits anybody but Trump and the Republicans. How does this benefit us? Because we want to create a huge wedge issue to get people to vote Republican? Because we want to energize the Republican base so they can get out and beat us?

This conspiracy theory makes no sense.
