Ag no man!

Forecasters said the storm will likely avoid interfering with the caravan of migrants from Honduras who are traveling through Mexico bound for the Texas border.

"If they take a western track and head for the California border, they will have to deal with what the storm left behind," said AccuWeather meteorologist Steve Travis . "They will move through wind damage, and washed-out roads are certainly a likelihood."

Interesting read.

The OK symbol is a perfect example of finding the right balance between reporting while trying not to amplify an obvious 4chan troll. Launched on 4chan as “Operation O-KKK,” the OK symbol’s goal was simple: spread it enough as an anti-Semitic gesture, both online and offline, and hope the media picked up on the campaign. A document was posted on 4chan, as reported by The Boston Globe, instructing members to effectively troll the mainstream public until it became a thing people couldn’t ignore.

“[W]e must flood Twitter and other social media websites . . . claiming that the OK hand sign is a symbol of white supremacy,” the document reads. “Leftists have dug so deep down into their lunacy. We must force [them] to dig more, until the rest of society ain’t going anywhere near that [expletive].”

Hey, this sounds familiar.... :sneaky:

You know, come to think of it, the pissgate dossier originated on 4chan as well. That means 4chan's trolling made it all the way into the FISA warrant on Trump. :ROFL:

Poor little cultural Marxists don't have a snowflake's chance in hell. :cool:

Whitney Phillips, an assistant professor at Syracuse University whose research focuses on internet culture, published a report earlier this year on the effect of media coverage on bad actors and harmful memes. For “The Oxygen of Amplification,” Phillips uses interviews with a number of journalists about covering trolls and dangerous content to parse the delicate line between explaining a particular trend to your audience, which often provides necessary contextual insight, and bringing more attention to a possibly harmful movement that can increase hate speech and harassment online.

14k... sadly, with that many, even if trump does nothing, when stampede starts, many will die, and of course, that'll be trumps fault too

Either way, dems will get their blood

So it will be reported in the MSM anyway. But people know better now and they are highly skeptical of MSM BS. And if any die, those that funded this will have blood on their hands for using people like this to further a political agenda.

Orange man got elected on an anti-immigrant ticket.

Someone was going to test him. The caravan is his doing.

No. He is specifically telling illegal migrants to stay away, even taking their children from them. The is the doing of whomever is funding it, not Trump.

The main thing to understand here is quite simple. Those socialist shîthole countries that the lefties want to model the world on are so bad that people are willing to form this caravan and travel to the US despite Trumps best efforts to tell them not to come.

The caravan is about as spontaneous as Euromaidan i.e. no, it most likely is Soros in some way, shape or form.

I think it was Forest Gump that just started running and eventually he had a entire following of people running with him... This group could have formed the same way.
