On topic.
There is another gigantic caravan headed for the border.
Where did the last one go?
Did they all end up with you Lee.
It only works right if Mexico closes it's southern border.
Funny how none of the caravaners want to live in Mexico.

There is one quote of his I totally agree with, after he won the
Nevada primary, was a true honest phrase 'I love the poorly
educated', as in they voted for him. Have you ever seen the
supporters behind him at his High School rallies? A culture war?
How can anyone enlist in that group?

Actually, many did settle in Mexico as they made their way North.

Most people don't care for carving up the Rio Grande area, as it will make large swaths of land off limits David. Many of my family members did not
wait in line, either. Many were here before the Europeans and most were brought here as free slave laborers.

Carving up? Before the 1500s? I think the reality is far different now. It's about playing by the rules as others have. Ignoring safety and security
for Americans by voiding border laws to get votes is pretty low.

Its all about ATTITUDE and GRATITUDE
His attitude toward the historically left leaning media is soothing to his base after the decades of being pummeled as republicans.
The gratitude his base has for getting the supreme court justice.
Its nothing more than this for what still is the silent majority across the country.
The world economy is cause & effect, its too big to even figure out much less influence it.

But I'm going to talk about only a few main issues since it fits the parameters of "Baja Nomad" and it's about Baja, since Trump, has supposedly
thrown down the gauntlet, and has said, if Mexico, doesn't solidify its southern border, and if the central American countries don't do more to
prevent their citizens from entering Mexico, that Trump, claims he is going to close the border, and in fact Trump, has doubled down on his threats to
closed the US/Mexico border.
Two questions:
1. Who believes AMLO, and the leaders in central America, are shaking in their boots, and will immediate act and follow orders from Trump?
2. Who believes that Trump, will carry through with his threats, and double down, on those threats to close the border?
______________________
I say, AMLO and other central American countries, are laughing at Trump, and would fly him the bird with his empty threats.
I also say, Trump, does not have the cojones to shut down the border, and that he is nothing but a blowhard.
|
Why wouldn't they laugh? A great portion of Mexico's economy is born on the money sent back home by those
who left. It's a great model for those other Central American countries that are counting on a million or so more every year, of their expats, sending
them that some cash to flood their economies.
Conversely, the rerouting of US cash from our economy takes away the advantage of creating commerce and jobs in our communities.
What would be interesting JJJ, is to observe the cash that leaves the US to Mex and CA juxtaposed to the loss created by closing the border for a few
days...to both the US and our neighbors to the south.

I am as far from a trumpet fan as you can get (and that sentiment goes back decades - he has never been an acceptable human being as far as I'm
concerned).
Has anyone noticed that the border was not an emergency or a crisis until trumpet needed a hateful slogan to motivate his "base" at campaign rallies?
You know, the idiotic "build a wall, Mexico pays for it" slogan. (I hope all you trumpet supporters know he NEVER intended to do this, and like the
"lock her up" mantra, has no meaning or basis in reality - was only a line to stir up the masses). Now that the ding dong was actually elected (thank
you Russian propaganda and the red state under-educated who actually thought it was real) he has no choice but to propagate his hateful messages (of
not just Mexico, but pretty much any one who isn't a white nationalist or dictator).

If a second massive caravan crossing 1000s of miles of Mexico for the intent purpose of invading the United States of America with the intent to steel
from us isn't a crisis or an emergency... what is?

Paranewbi, I'm not sure where you going with your post above, but if I recall Trump, threatened to stop remittance from the US to Mexico, or somehow
use some kind of remittance tax to get Mexico to pay for the wall during his 2018 Presidential campaign, but as usual Trump, didn't live up to any of
his campaign promises regarding the big beautiful wall.
So now Trump, comes up with the dumbest idea of them all: he wants to close the border, and it's all mostly because he is having a temper tantrum.
He also wants to feed red meat to his base.
Sure taking money from US coffers and giving to Latin American countries instead of spending it here in the US, sure doesn't help poor cities in the
US, but you could say the same thing about the US giving $3 or $4 billion dollar Israel, which largely uses the money for military purposes.
What the Latin American countries get in aid, pales in comparison to what Israel gets, but I bet you won't complain about that Paranewbi?

Stealing? Invading?
I think Fishbuck, is getting ready to go on one of his rants.

Nice Joe. Accurate
Any nothing wrong with Mr.President Trump engaging in politics and confusing the cr*p out of our enimies and frenimies.
And nothing more fun that watching the dims twist and writh so...
Very satisfying...
