Adam Server: Did Trump Basically Shoot Those People In Pittsburgh Himself?
Yes...yes he did...
Actually, as full of shit as Serwer usually is, he may have a point-fragment here. Trump was, indeed, hyping the "caravan" as being, basically, full of MS-13 zombies riding...pregnant dragons looking to lay their anchor eggs in 'Merka or whatever. Which...I mean...look, speaking for myself, I just don't want 4,000 illegal aliens marching into the country on the theory that Hey, they can't stop us all... So I don't need any of the bells and whistles about Zika and whatnot. OTOH, of course, the MSM was doing it's normal thing. Which is: basically writing impassioned arguments for letting them all in and giving them ADC...but just leaving the conclusion unstated. So, even without Trump, there was going to be a lot of anger on the right.
We've got no very good reason to believe that the Tree of Life shooter wouldn't have acted without Trump. But, thing is, if you say a bunch of irresponsible shit that's likely to pump up the crazy...and then the crazy does, in fact, get pumped up...and some of the crazy goes off and kills eleven innocent people... Well...We're not completely sure I killed them is not a terribly persuasive line of defense.
Again, Serwer's full of shit. He trots out all the standard spinny, hard-spun gripes. But, really, the president just can't be pumping out half-baked, irresponsible crap like that. There's almost nothing he says that's worth saying that couldn't be said 50% less crazily. The "caravan" is bad--it needs to be stopped. We can't let giant masses of people in just because they show up en masse and demand it. See how I just said that without adding any Nazgul? Say it that way, dumbass. I mean...president dumbass.
And, honestly, does anybody think that Obama wouldn't tell the "caravan" to get bent? Because I think he would, for the very reasons I mention: you can't set a precedent like this. Of course, he'd have enough political capital built up with Mexico that he could reason/sweet-talk them into stopping it. Trump's alienated so many allies that now he's got to do everything the hard way.
Eh...what was I talking about again...?
I certainly hope no one pays any attention to this nonsense...
