....completely idiotic, goddamned mother fucking bullshit "story" ever played out.
It's just so fucking.....stupid.
Everything about it is so just so completely stupid.
Mind boggling stupid.
I can't believe this is even a real thing that actual people in positions of power are actually talking about with a straight face. It seems like a terrible, stupid, dumb joke.
About the only good thing about it is that it makes it sound like Trump is talking about a minivan, like a Dodge Caravan, which when read in that context is absurdly hilarious.

(58,724 posts)While some will stay in Mexico to try to get refugee status there, others will continue north to the US border.
Organizers of the caravan estimate that some 200 or so people will proceed all the way to the US border in the coming days, although the number could be higher. Last year, about 150 went all the way to the border, they said.
Pueblo Sin Fronteras caravan or People Without Borders has organized the event for years. The caravan has always dispersed into separate, smaller groups at some point along the journey. What has been striking is that this year's event has the largest number of people ever, with more than 1,100.

needed but this exercise is just for Spanky's ego. Disgusting.
I live less than 15 miles from Mexico and I can say that, around here,
illegal immigrants are way down from years ago.
