These people are going to go home and be proud of how they defended the border and tell everyone about it.

"Immigrants stopped coming because we were there! See?! It works!"

Lol, "lesson." As if this would teach them anything .That's cute.

At this point they'd rather forsake god as a socialist than believe the Nazi...ahem...”Republican” party can do wrong.

"Best generals available" might be a bit of a stretch. That's a bit of the Lost Cause mythology still wrattling about the internet.

I assume ending this comment on a comma was intentional but even if it wasn't it's perfect

The U.S. government has a professional army. They have nothing. And when the vast majority of the country lives paycheck-to-paycheck, you're not going to get a lot of (male, obviously, 'cause ladies is too fragile) bodies on the front lines when people can barely feed their kids on two incomes. Not without a draft. Good luck with that, Texas.

Republicans are mentally deflective.

FTFY

I'm surprised any of them even made it to Texas, considering how hard they descended into paranoia and fear.

Trumpanzee

Oh, hell yeah. I’m gonna do use this wherever I can now.

Trumpanzee....that's brilliant!

They have the memories of goldfish. Remember Jade Helm, where supposedly Democrats were going to put Republicans in Walmarts converted into concentration camps? When that didn't happen, did all those MAGA idiots who believed it say, "huh. Maybe I should rethink things?" No, they just forgot it was even a thing they said was going to happen within a day or two.

It's like they didn't expect any of these losers to actually get off their asses and see for themselves that it's bullshit. Whoops.

Not that it matters for the rest of them. They're too far gone.

Ah yes, the infamous iMmIgRaNt CaRaVaN.

They are walking here. Imagine for a second that you had to walk to the store...be honest, we're Americans, it would take years. You would probably never make it back home if it was winter, at night or full summer. It's a trek. Now imagine walking from guatemala (prenounced watemalla). They are coming 😁. And when they get here, they're going to dangerously tired. So dangerous in fact that we just gotta send people there.... To help.

Well obviously it was stopped before it could be a problem! /s

Genuinely reminds me of the Orc Army led by Dragons in Gothic 2.

Referring to other human beings as “things” is abhorrent.

Now have them try to land on an aircraft carrier. Just put a big ski jump at the edge of the dock. I am sure they will make it .

How did civilization get this way?

Well, it started when Nixon posited that conservatives needed a republican news outlet to frame political problems in a way that always casted republicans in a good light, that way a media-landslide like Watergate wouldn't happen again. Fox News was born, and has slowly been pushing our society into what it is now.

So, to answer your question, the snowball started rolling about 50 years ago.

In the scenario in your comment, that very same news network told a bunch of gullable, trained idiots that we are being invaded, in order to make republican policy look good.

the morons have connected through no fault of their own; stupidity has been enabled.

Connected? We've never been more divided

China’s gonna collapse any day. Look at Gaza. Democrats are not immune.

In a way they did... just a very unnecessary, expensive, personal data collection method.

I wonder how bad the filter bubble is for some people. Like "relevant search results" or articles in their preferred news media. And trained cognitive biases. There is a lot of deliberate effort from the fascists and careless ignorance from tech companies to make it this way.

This amounts to an anecdote.

it's an interview with one of the people that traveled there based on the "news" they consumed. It's not just 'an anecdote', it's a first person source from someone at the location who is part of this group that went there.

This isn't just a 'my uncle once saw xyz', you are mischaracterizing the context.

Also, in regards to MBFC,

Overall, we rate MeidasTouch Left Biased based on the negative portrayal of Donald Trump and Republicans and the promotion of Democratic candidates. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to a lack of transparency with funding

dOgShIt!!!!!

this isn't a great "article" in general to post, but you're being extreme

Perpetual confusion with anger and fear. I mean, these people are mad at rainbows and afraid they're going to rape a someone with a penis.

It's mostly an embedded clip from MSNBC; clicking the linked article can be informative!

I'm also not sure what bias you are accusing Meidas Touch of in the headline (since we know you didn't get any further than that)? Is it the part about the maga convoy being confused? We know they are easily led from one moral outrage to another without really understanding the issues.

The part about there not being an invasion at the border? It's obvious there isn't anything of the sort happening, because the people that are claiming it's happening are the same ones who just said that they refuse to do anything about it for a year, until (they hope) Trump is president.

I love how the supposed "law and order" types are out here screeching "calling crimes crime is extreme leftist bias!"

Laugh at the stupid convoy hicks! Get some clicks!

Meidastouch is gaslighting propaganda, the liberal version of OAN

Get out! Baitin here!

The "border crisis" is made up. If we opened our borders, suddenly there wouldn't be a "crisis" anymore and the vast majority of Americans would see no change in their day-to-day lives.

America needs to stop worrying about non existent issues and focus more on taking care of their citizens.

That's a great video.

I see what you're doing here, but I'm afraid you were doomed the moment you linked a 23 minute video. People don't have that kind of attention spans for their own family, let alone a stranger trying to make a point on the internet.

It's not an army of people storming the gates to take over the country it's individuals or families trying to climb a wall or swim across a dangerous river and risking death to try and escape a bad situation or make a new life for themselves. Or in regards to legal immigrants struggling to be processed it's an issue with a lack of resources allocated to them. Maybe some of them are criminals but contrary to popular belief most criminals that deal in border crossing either have a way of getting through the border "legally" or don't have to cross the border themselves at all. And it's the "criminals storming the gates" style of border crisis that these people in the convoy are imagining.

No one is fixing houselessness so why are you bringing it up in a thread about a border crossing?

What is a convoy of retired hillbillies driving down to Texas going to do to fix that? Do you think if they go down there and start a-shootin' Messicans that somehow all the undocumented immigrants in New York will dissolve into puddles on the sidewalk?

You mean the New York that has a fascist cop (but I repeat myself) as a mayor? The New York whose local Dem leadership is probably the second most conservative and corrupt from lack of competition after that of Chicago? That New York?

It appears you commented in the wrong thread 🌠
