No worries,  GOP,  the teargassing children thing should win back plenty of support.   I mean,  how many of have wanted to teargas our children now and then?

The timing is almost perfect, from what I understand photos of the gassed moms and kids will make a wonderful 2018-19 GOP Merry Christmas card

The seasonal symbolism of "no room for you here" is amazing.

Thank God for the decency of the religious right.

Silver lining of the disaster that is the Trump Administration is that we can finally put to bed the falsehood that being wealthy or a "businessman" is a qualification for running the nation's economy:

Almost impossible to refer to DT as a businessman without putting quotes around it.  How many bankruptcies?  loans defaulted on?  contractors refused to pay?  I still wonder what the media was doing when Trump was running that so many people could persist in thinking of Trump as business savvy.  Partly I suppose they were reading troll farm posts on FB instead of actual news.  Partly all those books Trump wrote portraying himself as a wizard of finance, and his general flair for self-promotion.

The NYTimes caped for Trump and should have known better, I mean most in New York knew the guy was a fraud.

Generalismo Trumpo has won a great victory at "The Battle of Tijuana River"

He has recommended himself for a Presidential citation, in part based on his bold strategy in the face of children's sniffles and tears.

Note that's not a denial or refutation.  Just bluster.

Manafort, Assange, and Stone are smarter than everyone else. They should be able to get away with it. You can tell by the way they all dress.

The running tally on cost to local businesses of the battle of TJ and attendant border closing is $5.3 million. The man can sure throw expensive tantrums. Ritual cruelty writ large for Faux and friends.

Every vote for a republican is another can of gas on the bonfire.

Liberal outrage over gas bombs misdirected.

---Tear gas used once a month at border under Obama
DHS data shows deployments dating back years---

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/nov/26/obama-administration-used-tear-gas-border-once-mon/

Did the Aussies find the perfect solution? A secure temporary island homeland where the primitive hordes can relax and heal their wounds before they are sent back.

(a) I don't trust the Washington Times, though they are better than WND.

(b) I don't care who is doing it. If the United States did it under Obama, then it was wrong then, too, and should have been investigated - given that it was not, I am skeptical that it happened.

(c) Were they gassing children who were present for a protest that was not trying to do more than call attention to the plight?

Dems decided to win the Latino vote by supporting open borders? Backfired badly, lost the blue collars. Just ask Hil.

 Truth matters not these days

It's the spin that is important.  Whatever gets Trump's Gallup unfavorable toward 60 and above......truth aside..is at the crux of much of the reporting of US current events

Sad.

Interesting that Morning Joe Scars and the Meekster are OFF this week, as the caravan that was a month away arrives ....ahem....early

This caravan expected to be about 8-10 in number ....I kid you not....he said it....by the time it actually arrived...if it ever did

"Psst....hey honey...if we get MARRIED we don't have to show our lying, mistaken faces for about ten days.....maybe we will be able to talk about Mueller by then"

Heh.
