You've had meat pies and sausage rolls for ever too, there are dark spots on the US soul...

Another country has banned burquas and niqabs. The ban applies to all workplaces.

According to the Atlantic article on Tom Steyer’s political organization, one of his staff was an online poker pro. Anyone know who it is?

Is Julian Assange the dumbest person in the world?

Haaaaaaave....... you met Donald?

I'd really like to. How much trouble could you get in for throwing a fartdouken at the president?

How fast are you?

My mom wants to have an email conversation about the great existential crisis facing our nation. And of course by that I mean this caravan of people coming from Honduras.

Does anyone have any non-biased links to what exactly is going on?

After that video of people being paid, the conspiritard in me is starting to wonder if the Russians are behind it or something to give Trump a huge winning midterm issue.

Dude, it’s hopeless. Come on.

Your first instinct was to believe the video actually showed what the idiot lying derposphere claimed?

This articles seems pretty good. http://www.latimes.com/opinion/edito...019-story.html

Funny how nobody seems to give a **** about what happens to the migrants who don't make it to their destination. I bet those are some devastatingly grim, heart breaking stories.

AMA about being a Honduran refugee who didn't make it to the US!
(aka: ask me anything about being a Sinaloa prostitute/sex slave)

it would explain a lot

Desantis sent me a mailer that has a large photo of Gillum on it. First time I can recall seeing a mailer with a picture of the opposing candidate. Wonder why.

I don't think that was his first instinct. Although the video was obvious nonsense, the caravan exists, as I assume you know. There are like 4,000 people in it. Last I read, they were shut out at the Mexico-Guatemala border.

Serious question: if a caravan of Guatemalan immigrants got to the US Mexico border, what is the optimal plan going forward? Would the plan change if there were 1000? 10000? 100000? All women and children?

Heartbreakingly the current optimal plan is to realize the US is a hellhole that will rip their families apart if they apply as refugees, and so to split up and try to sneak across.

Or **** just stay in Mexico, it may genuinely be better.

Optimal plan for who? For America as a country it's obviously to do nothing. Just let them walk in. For them, the other replies may be right. They may be better off not coming. For individual Americans the optimal plan is to help them if possible.

Ship 'em over to the Rust Belt, we got room and we need good ethnic food.

This is something that I've been curious about. At what point do asylum seekers go, "Oh **** it. Let's stay in Mexico."

For me, it'd be splitting up my family and taking children to places where they're all being molested.

This is basically our refugee resettlement policy (when we're admitting refugees into the country, at least). It's convenient when the most moral component of American foreign policy is also massively beneficial economically to the local communities affected!

Not that any of this matters since the whole story is obviously just complete and utter racist hysteria, but it's almost surely not even that large:

WSJ says 3000.

Reuters says "hundreds":

NBC News says 2000-3000; the 4000 number comes from our State Department who acknowledge 400 are no longer part of it:

Whether it's a few hundred or a few thousand, the incontrovertible fact remains mouthbreathers all the way up to the President are hyper-ventalating about a crowd roughly the size of a reasonably popular high school football game. These are just insane theatrics for the President's base of bloodthirsty savage racists to get them worked up and excited to vote for Republicans, the end.
