A man with 50 million followers only has 6 "Moments"... just one of the many inexplicable things about Trump.
Did he go to church on Easter? I notice there's a 2 hour gap between "HAPPY EASTER!" and NO MORE DACA DEAL!... Mexico doing very little, if not NOTHING!... stop their cash cow NAFTA! NEED WALL!..."
Is he eating too much candy?
HAPPY EASTER!... NEED SALVATION!...

Ironic that it is likely the strong jobs market attracting illegal immigrants. To the extent Trump's policies have strengthened the economy, he is partly to blame for the influx.
Happy Easter! Terrible man that Pontius Pilate, but no collusion! Can you believe he nailed that guy to a Cross?! Sad! Make Jerusalem Great Again! #MJGA
We have immigration laws. Not that democrats care about the laws they enact. They need voters!
Central Americans attempting to resurrect themselves from death of their economies. And on the third day they cross the American border.
Added: I've been a wandering surfer through Mexico and Central America since the 1970's. I'd leave too. Except Costa Rica. They have it figured out - more or less.
Mexico is not just "doing little"; they are facilitating the transportation of the migrating hordes from Central America and points south through Mexico to the US border.
As for the loony left; I think they finally can see their way to break up the Union that they never liked.
The 1938 short story, Leiningen and the Ants, Carl Stephenson, provides the solution to the coming hoards.
Presently there's a 1,000 person hoard that Mexico is "allowing" to move through its territory. Confrontation is imminent.
As Leiningen knew, when it's you or them, you'll know what to do. Or to paraphrase George Scott as Patton, "When you put your hand in that pile of goo that a moment before had been your best friend's face, you'll know what to do."
It almost seems like there is organization and support for people in Central America to travel north to the US.
Almost like there are a bunch of extremely wealthy people who are playing a long game to replace American voters with poor people from South/Central America.
Almost like they have purchased both major political parties in the US and are trying to erase the borders.
Almost.
HAPPY EASTER!
You can't make this stuff up.
It's scary to hear him talk about a "nuclear option." Nuclear codes in his tiny hands bode ill for life on the planet. He apparently drinks a lot of diet coke, so the death of us all may result from an aspartame induced psychotic fit.

That's like saying to the extent that you worked hard and enriched your family, you are partly to blame for the ensuing home invasion and robbery.
Unfortunately, Mexico is allowing 1200 Honduran immigrants to march through to our border and there is apparently nothing we can do to stop them. Catch and release, two years before hearing, etc. People Without Borders
As with 1984, one didn't expect history to interpret The Camp of the Saints quite so literally.
So, been getting that old curled lip at the bike shop and the garage?
Oppressive, isn't it?
Tough.
I don’t think it’s merely a coincidence that Trump tweets this stuff as Mexico is about to try to foist another specific and recognizable group of illegal immigrants on us. The Left is going to have to lionize these people, forcing them to defend illegal immigration in the run-up to the mid-terms.
Payback is a bitch.
Happy Easter!
No.....it's not a joke!!
The way I see it, is that - on average - 35,000 people are killed in the USA every year in traffic accidents.
This means that there are 35,000 citizenship slots available.
I would propose a lottery. Every month 2700 random names will be chosen from a list, and those chosen will be awarded birthright citizenship on the spot.
In addition, that person will be given $500,000 USD to use as they wish. The money being given over five years, and funded by the automobile importer companies as a basis for doing business in the USA and it's possessions.
The $500,000 can be exchanged for up to five extra slots, each forfeiting $100,000.
“ Ironic that it is likely the strong jobs market attracting illegal immigrants. To the extent Trump's policies have strengthened the economy, he is partly to blame for the influx.”
I was discussing this with the directors of two plants at a party yesterday. There’s no shortage of labor. There’s a shortage of labor that knows how to show up reliably and on time and actually work.
He drives all the 'right' people crazy.
That's good enough for me.
"Ironic that it is likely the strong jobs market attracting illegal immigrants. To the extent Trump's policies have strengthened the economy, he is partly to blame for the influx."

Dear Etienne,
Really? So after 9/11 we could have imported 3000 Arabs, is your thinking?
Why don't we just let all the immigrants in, then arrest them, execute them, and burn the bodies for electricity? You can't keep up with your own shtick.
I'm curious as to what motivates you. Alcohol or something harder?
"I was discussing this with the directors of two plants at a party yesterday. There’s no shortage of labor. There’s a shortage of labor that knows how to show up reliably and on time and actually work."
Probably because the illegal immigrants--who are desperate to work--are going, going, gone!
It is the job of the federal government to defend our nation and that includes preventing hordes of illegal aliens from entering or remaining in the USA. This responsibility should be top of mind of government officials everyday including: Christmas, Maha Shivaratri,Passover, Easter, Arbor Day, Ramadan and Kwanzaa.

It is hard for Cook to decide which is worse: A strong jobs market with an increasing standing of living for the working class or an end to open borders policies.
It is hilarious when the leftists uncritically link to a hack site like politifact that was openly started by Journolisters to push an agenda.

Good point! Not only are illegal immigrants more pliable voters, they are more pliable employees. The leftist plantation always needs warm bodies to exploit.
"It is hilarious when the leftists uncritically link to a hack site like politifact that was openly started by Journolisters to push an agenda."
Hey...Politifact is just confirming your President's own claims about the dramatic drop in illegal immigrants. (A drop that commenced before Trump assumed office.) So, in order to dismiss Politifact to believe something you want to believe, do you want to assert Trump is actually lying about this drop in illegal immigrants?
When can mexican workers begin suing american companies for exploiting them? Shouldn't California be diverting legal resources for illegal nannies and lawnkeepers to sue for back pay or some other tangible benefit we can conjure up out of thin air?

Are you being a moron intentionally? He's talking about the nuclear option in the Senate, not bombing immigrants.
Those 1200 Honduran invaders are the tip of the iceberg. Look at Gaza. Soon we will have tens of thousands of invaders massing at the border. Unlike the Israelis, who are facing the exact same situation in Gaza, our officers will not fire on the crowds, and the invaders will overrun the Border Patrol. Massive numbers will escape arrest and disperse throughout the Southwest, where they will be welcomed by the likes of La Raza and Jerry Brown.
This will be the critical, defining event of the Trump administration and of the immigration debate. It will determine whether or not we can control our borders.
Fortunately, these mass invasions will provide the political muscle Trump needs to seize control of the border and build The Wall.
PS. This is a good opportunity for ISIS to smuggle in fighters and weapons.
You guys leave poor trumpit alone. He's doing his best.
What you are doing to the poor guy is "Ableism" in its worst form.
"Not only are illegal immigrants more pliable voters, they are more pliable employees."
They are certainly pliable--and reliable--employees, which is why so many employers want to employ them...they do the work and they can't complain!
However, they're not voters, as you know, being, uh, non-citizens. Now, if you can show verifiable statistics that illegal immigrants are flooding the polling places at election time--not just allegations, and not just a small number that may have actually succeeded in voting, but substantial numbers over time and around the nation--I'll grant you that point, as well.
Cookie, you know as well as I that California is NOT going to investigate how many illegals voted, thus providing 'verifiable statistics' and goring their own oxen.
>>There’s no shortage of labor. There’s a shortage of labor that knows how to show up reliably and on time and actually work.
This is exactly what has happened in the UK. It's very hard to find a British waiter or store clerk. All the entry level service jobs are held by eastern Europeans.
The Brits are all home on the dole. When the difference in income between working 40 hours a week and 0 hours a week gets small enough... why bother? If you are content to live poor for your entire life, there's no reason at all to work.
Cookie, does that mean you will allow us to actually check into this? Like "investigate" the matter?
It's a long walk from Honduras to Texas. It'll be a longer walk back.
This, the caravan, is a mistake by the pro-illegal people.
Honduras is just where they came from entering Mexico. Where they came from before that, who knows?
"Those 1200 Honduran invaders are the tip of the iceberg. Look at Gaza. Soon we will have tens of thousands of invaders massing at the border. Unlike the Israelis, who are facing the exact same situation in Gaza...."
Not quite "the exact same." It would be analogous only if the U.S. expanded its borders southward into Mexican territory, claiming it for ourselves--the way much of Texas was obtained--pushing the Mexicans further back into a reduced land area.
The rest of your post reads like the post-apocalyptic fever dream of John Bolton in the heat of delirium tremens.
Cookie invokes "border security". So 1200 people march, en masse, through our border and the border patrol is going to stop them. What, will they shoot them? It would certainly send a message. Folks, this is an invasion! Why should we tolerate it?
We have to find a way, that allows us to declare victory in our defeat. This is a common tactic in war. Especially if you are losing.
Also, we must realize that these people are Americans. Albeit Central and South, but still Americans from the American Continent, and mostly Christians.
This can be seen as a victory.
Those people are not without sin.
"Cookie, you know as well as I that California is NOT going to investigate how many illegals voted, thus providing 'verifiable statistics' and goring their own oxen."
mockturtle, a supposition is not evidence of fact.
Let them camp on the Mexican side of the border all summer long.
"Cookie, does that mean you will allow us to actually check into this? Like 'investigate' the matter?"
That's not up to me...that's the responsibility of the appropriate state and/or federal agencies who are tasked with the job. I assume they are checking into this. Do you have reason to think otherwise?
Rather than spending trillions fighting 'wars' in the ME, I'd much rather we spent the resources on war with Mexico. If we don't, they will destroy our country more surely than would North Korea by nuclear weapons. We should be able to take them and maybe Honduras and Guatemala, while we're at it.

Amen, chickelit! I wonder where they will cross? Probably not Arizona or Texas. More likely New Mexico or California.

In either scenario--that which is: invading middle east countries who have not attacked us and are no threat to us; or that which you propose: invading Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala, who, likewise, have not attacked us and are no threat to us--we are the criminals.
When I came in many moons ago, each country had an "immigration quota" with the expressed aim of keeping the ethnic mix of the country roughly the same as in 1913 - why 1913 I do not know, but probably because Woodrow Wilson (D) worried himself about such matters.
That may still be on the books for all I know, but has obviously long gone by the wayside.
However, the first thing to decide is whether to continue to have a Federal Republic at all. If the answer is yes, then we can sit down and negotiate what the rules shall be for the future.
If they camped on the Mexican side of the border into the fall, they could be a magnet for American politicians. A place for them to go - both R and D - to declare whose side they are on. The camp leaders could declare that the US was their rifgtful homeland and they could even throw rocks at our soldiers. Of course CNN will give it 24/7 coverage. Sean Penn will visit.
Round ‘em up and put ‘em to work in Alaska.

Immigration is a good thing. Illegal immigration is less good, but more good than being an insane assault rifle owner who has it in for kids, police, and politicians.
We should only generate electricity from the carcass of bad people. Immigrants are not bad people, they are good people, and they will make (North) America Great Again, just like South America, and Central America are great.
We will be all great. Great!
Sean Penn will visit.
Send him up there too!
I’m still waiting for indigenous Californians to push back at “Hispanics” for the Portola Expedition and the consequent conquest.
Why on earth would these people want to exit their lovely universal leftwing paradises?
Well, Cookie, a first step would be to allow the census to ask the citizenship question.

@Trumpit: How do you know what mockturtle wears on her feet?
Ah, if Trump were actually Hitler as many of the left portray him, he would be invading Mexico tomorrow, instead of crying about the Dems not letting him build his beautiful wall.

Donald, Melania, and Tiffany went to 11:00 service at Episcopal church near Mar-a-Lago.

Cookie, Mexico may not be attacking us militarily but is attacking us with illegal immigration [which nets them a huge income through remittance, more than their revenue from oil, according to CNN] and drug trafficking. If you think the Mexican government is not complicit in this, you have a lot to learn.

Or - we offer to buy these countries. Put it to a vote with the people of these central American countries. Do you want your crazy corrupt Sean Penn-approved leftwing dictator to continue to starve you - or you like the US in charge? No war needed!

So the solution to the collapse of the work ethic of native labor is to import indentured servants? Seems like a healthy society might be able to come up with one or two better ideas.

Yes! Even better. Arizona bought part of Mexico in 1854 for $10M.
Yes! Even better. Arizona bought part of Mexico in 1854 for $10M.
And it's all on the up and up. The people get to choose. They want to come here anyway - stay put and you can still be in America!
The great German migration that began in '39 was greatly frowned upon. But, PM Chamberlain worked out a compromise to everyone's satisfaction. Well, except for Rolling Stones.
Not Arizona, which was a US territory governed by officials appointed from Washington in 1854.
The US bought the "Gadsden Purchase" from Mexico to get a practical route for the Southern Pacific Railroad to California.
"Complete the dang fence."
In Washington's eyes then, the New Mexico and Arizona territories was the empty space between Texas and California.
The attempted mass migration that is shaping up at the Mexican border will indeed be a defining moment. For the Trump administration. For both the Democratic and Republican parties.
The Democratic Party was always the party of slavery. Now they want low cost slaves in the Mexican illegals they exploit as nannies or yard workers. They might not be slaves in the ownership sense but they are slaves none the less. The Republican establishment also got used to abusing this slave labor.
The working class has to stand with President Trump in any extreme measures he might take to prevent this invasion.
Rich media elites will never give up their illegal immigrant nannies. All of these news bunnies or woke actresses probably have ten illegal workers as nannies or gardeners or drivers.
End NAFTA. Build the Wall. Deport the Dreamers. Tax the shit out of money wired to Mexico. End the ability of illegals to support the economy of the corrupt drug ridden nation of Mexico on the backs of native American workers.
America First.
Hagar said..."In Washington's eyes then, the New Mexico and Arizona territories was the empty space between Texas and California."
Mo Udall loved telling a story about one of Arizona’s first U.S. senators, Henry Fountain Ashurst (D-Ariz.). As told by Udall, Ashurst in his maiden speech on the Senate floor not long after Arizona gained statehood in 1912 gushed, 'Mr President, this great new baby state of Arizona has the potential to become a veritable paradise … (and) to become a veritable paradise we need only two things. We need water and we need lots of good people.' At that point an aging senator from Vermont asked Ashurst to yield. 'If the gentleman will forgive me, that’s all they need in hell.' link
I trust that Althouse can see how on topic this comment is.
"So the solution to the collapse of the work ethic of native labor is to import indentured servants?"
I just report the facts; I don't advocate them as solutions. (Plus, I was being a tad big ironic.)
"Seems like a healthy society might be able to come up with one or two better ideas."
We stopped being a healthy society long ago. We are well into the "decadent decline" phase inevitable in all empire life cycles. It'll just get worse going forward. (No irony intended at all.)
So, has the overblown Stormy Daniels blown over?
It's Hoggmania all the time!
Try to keep up.

The same story is told about Texas.
I'm hoping that the Left adopts the approaching migrants as their next big anti-Trump cause celebrity.

Dunno... What's Mr Over's first name?
There were two territorial purchases; the first when they realized El Paso, which was intended to be on the southern boundary by the Treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo, actually lay about 100 miles farther south than they had thought, so the US paid Mexico $15MM (I think) to get that corrected, and then later an additional $10MM for the Gadsden Purchase.

You are a racist.
You care about banning one specific model of long gun that kills very few people. Pretty much all of them white.
More people are killed with fists than all long guns each year.
Not a word about handguns. You seem perfectly fine with them.
Even though about 10 times as many people are killed with handguns than long guns each year.
A large proportion of those killed are black kids.
Many killed by other blacks.
But they're black so you could not be bothered to give a shit. Could you?
Fucking racist.
You and all the other douchebags who are spun up over AR15s but not over guns that actually kill large numbers of black people.

Halloween was based on the idea that you bribed children with candy to pray for your relatives in Purgatory, so they might serve less time.
Darkisland said...You care about banning one specific model of long gun that kills very few people...
It's not important how many people it kills. The truth is, that people buy assault weapons for the same reason they buy 4-wheel drive trucks that are 20 feet off the ground.
They buy those guns and trucks, and chewing tobacco, because they saw them in endless re-runs of bad movies.
For that reason alone, they should be liquidated. They are brain dead. Pull the plug.
I own pistols because I use them to kill things that are trying to kill me - e.g., snakes, Mountain Lions, and Bears. I find that I have no use for a long gun.

Right on, Etienne,
Still waiting for someone to explain the difference between National Socialism/Fascism and American progressivism.
Certainly they seem to share a bloodlust to "liquidate" (too squeamish to say "kill", Etienne?) those who don't share their worldview.
Actually the Fascists were much less blood thirsty than most progressives woul be if the could ever get into a position to indulge their ideology.
So, Etienne, what do you think should be done with blacks and other undertaces? Death camps? Enslavement? Send them back to Africa?
Murderous, racist progressives. But I repeat myself.

California, of course. Where Brown will welcome them with open arms, and dump the lot on the Feds to deal with. In the name of his superior compassion.
I think Trump should require that illegals crossing into California can only arrive via High Speed Rail, and should have to file an environmental impact statement first.
That will keep them out for at least 50 years.

Long, long walk from Chiapas to the US border. We shall see how this parade ends. 2,000 miles. Most will not make it.
Declaring victory is one good idea, another would be to simply take over Mexico, annex it. It is a great country with great people who for the most part want to stay put. We can put our wall up down there along their southern border. Mexicans would have no need to come here because they would already be here in the new, bigger, USA. And we could help them contain these marauders from their south.
The march underway is said to be 1000 people strong. They have 2000 miles to march. Unless they are led by Alexander they will have no way to feed themselves, no way to make it. Mexico will be very sad these 1000 are strung out over their country, exhausted, unwilling to go forward or to retreat.
It is an old story.
Looks similar to the boat trip to Gaza arranged from Turkey few years ago.
Robert Cook,
Texas was not "obtained" by a southern push by the United States.
The nation of Texas won its independence from an oppressive Mexican government. This nation included the present territory of Texas, as well as parts of other states (although much of this territory was disputed).
After it became apparent that Texas would have difficulty standing alone as a nation next to the powerful Mexico, Texas accepted statehood from the United States.
Yes, this is a simplification of a complex chain of events, but there you have it.
