Would like to note that it’s not Texans who freak about Hispanics as the state is 40% Hispanic, 42% Caucasian. Now _Knoxville_… now that is a place which fears the Great Hispanic Threat to Destroy America and Rape Our  
Wimmen.

My prediction is: “Ivanka Trump is not a cabinet official and in fact doesn’t even have a security clearance, so this is no big deal, unlike when that poopy head Hillary did it.”

Or, “Who cares? We won.”

Or, “Squirrel!!”

We have a bunch here in Arizona, too. They’re in Tucson, about 90 miles from the border.

Well, to be fair, where Hillary was “extremely careless”, Ivanka was merely “feckless”.

Hey, liar. Your ploy above is called moving the goal posts. I never claimed I do not use hateful and dismissive language. That is simply a lie. I’m perfectly happy to use it when engaging with rock-dumb dishonest dolts like yourself. I hope that helps clear things up.

If you’d like to now try to find quotes of mine that support your original claims, go ahead. I’ll wait. And if you do decide to put on your big boy pants, you can address Post #199 in the Tucker Carlson thread. You know the thing you will not go near as if it’s your kryptonite.

I can already hear the chants from Trump Country:

“So what, her EMAILS!”

“Make AOLMail Government Approved!”

“TALK HER UP! TALK HER UP!”

The troops are already starting to be sent home, well before the caravan arrives. As if there was ever any doubt that this was entirely a political exercise in manipulating fear.

You seem to be completely hung up on a trivial ‘You said it. No I did not’ argument. Meanwhile, you’ve been asked a couple of times to provide solid evidence to back up your claim regarding the caravan being funded by George Soros. Perhaps you can do that rather than pursue this pointless debate?

Sounds like an urban legend, like Warehouse 13 or Area 51.

Please no spoilers on Post #199 in the Tucker Carlson thread. I want to read the first 198 posts first and so far I am only on Post #70. So far it is mostly just development of the emotional arc but with all the buzz I am really looking forward to the rest.

I’m no military historian, but when a force withdraws from their position when the adversary arrives…isn’t that called _retreat_?

Trump released a statement just now in which he lies about the CIA conclusion over the Kashoggi murder and then says it doesn’t matter anyway because he was an enemy of the people (a phrase he uses all the time about the press).

If the Trump administration ends up in its worst case possibility, everyone will look back and wonder why we didn’t see the warning signs.

I’ll look further into it and report back.

As far as the pointless debate. That imbecile keeps putting forth lies. He is completely ignorant of the most rudimentary debate basics—like what a claim is, how to support a claim, the difference between a poster and a poster’s particular position, moving goal posts, etc.—yet he goes on with his lies and dumbistry, compounding them as he goes.

Anyway, not a lot of time lately, but I will provide what you asked for. To be clear, my claim was that his money was making it’s way to the groups that ultimately provided the aid. And I am not of the mind that that they were funded by his money alone. But I will get back to you.
