    1. trump IS NO SCOT & NO TRUMP EVER FOUGHT FOR AMERICA; DEBT-ERS.
      *#PIMPdrumpfTRUMP** SOLD GIRLS,* #TRUMPlegacyWHOREGRANDFATHER, #drumpfGERMANTRAITOR & DRAFT DODGER, THE #ROYALbonespursCLAN OF KELTIK THIEVES. NO CELT NEED’S A TRUMP, UNLESS, WE NEED A DISPOSABLE *TOOL LIKE TRUMP* TO CRACK A STONE. BEWARE

  1. The GOP cant win an election without gerrymandering and terror because Dems outnumber GOP….
    Trump bought 2200 FB ads pushing the “invasion” meme and Trump’s killers use them in their rants…

  2. fox politicizing terrorism is pathetic and the fact that 1/3 of Americans just believe it to be true, exacerbates an already toxic situation. Considering the 17 million voters removed, states gerrymandered, polls closed, moved, or taxed, has all been done by republicans to cheat in the last election as well as Moscow Mitch failing to do his job for U.S., not russia, is disgusting.

  3. An invasion was the Indian Wars – a 40 year military operation fought and won by the US Army but which the Americans believe was won by the righteous, hard work, freedom-loving, God-fearing, brave, 6 shooter toting, trapper, prospector, cowboy, and WHITE settler. The irony, I love irony.

  4. Why do people insist on saying the immigrants will vote democrat they generally vote religion which means no abortions or homosexual.The democrats appealing to a larger base and speaking for people from all walks accept the rights of different beliefs I’m amazed that someone says they are so religious keep trying to take away the free will that God has given this shold be between them and God .I am by no means pushing either
    But don’t think I have the right to tell them what to do with their bodies . God will be the judge.

  5. Understand how the msm is using problem, reaction, solution on you… The Public. They want your guns.

  6. Republicans have always encouraged the racism that belies the founding of the country.

    There are those who say it was not always so. They point to Lincoln. But that’s a re-writing of history. Lincoln might have disliked slavery, but he didn’t want to abolish slavery. He wanted to preserve the Union. The Southern uprising forced his hand.

    Thus, while Lincoln lost the South, it was easy for Republicans to regain it when LBJ signed Civil Rights legislation and Barry Goldwater championed “States Rights.”

    The Republicans always favored two facets which enshrined racism in our national dna. A capitalist economic model which they claimed would inherently eliminate racism, but never did. The Republicans also championed a Constitution which further helped to engrave racism onto the national soul. It was through the Constitution that states dictated who voted and who didn’t and who controlled the levers of power.

    Both of these institutions became “nationalized” and helped burn racism into our dna. We will never be free from racism and we will never be all that we can be until we find a better way to share the fruits of our collective, national labor.

  7. Islamophobia is a thing, right? Could we try on some Nazi-Phobia for size? Time to push back on the Nazis, from the top down

  8. there are millions of illegal aliens in this country, thousands more every month try to enter illegally… call it what you want but its still a massive problem that hurts american citizens of all races

  9. Were they welcomed in? No. So Invasion an accurate word. Sorry.
    Are you guys ever going to apologize for the calling for assassinating the president?

    Tell you what. Admit that democrats went too far in calling for violence and we will talk about the president’s choice of words
