Wall shutdown showdown’s next act: Trump goes to southern border Thursday “to meet with those on the frontlines of the national security and humanitarian crisis.” He’s not negotiating a deal. He’s putting on shows to keep his propaganda on TV/media. Maybe he’ll bring a caravan😒
Trump to visit southern border after telling aides on Sunday he wanted them to come up with a resolution to the shutdown fight that would reopen the government—without him appearing to have capitulated to Democrats. via @WSJ wsj.com/articles/trump…
TV networks agreeing to air Trump's far-right wall propaganda address as if a real national security emergency is pretty despicable. An ominous sign that they haven't learned much about how propagandists use media to elevate bullshit in ways that undermine our country & the press
It’s not the base holding Trump to “the wall.” It’s his right wing propaganda media, says @KatyTurNBC. A key point b/c it’s the propagandists who profit here, and have been for years pushing toxic propaganda—hate, fear, division. Trump’s their golden goose
>> 6 (!) immigrants in terrorism database stopped by CBP at southern border in 2018. NOT 4000. Trump & admin officials (eg @PressSec) have astronomically inflated the number to push a fake national security crisis, an extremist immigration agenda & a wall. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
@PressSec 🚨Trump wants to usurp Congressional power to do what he can't do democratically. He told the same "crisis" lies (caravan) in midterm elections and LOST THE HOUSE. Americans know the facts: There is NO border crisis. Our crisis is budding DICTATORSHIP & PROPAGANDA drowning truth.
Demagoguery. Autocracy. Fascism. Pick your poison. Oh I forgot—Putin picked it for us. So it’s all of the above🚨Trump declares “absolute right” to declare national emergency to give racists & propagandists a wall. He colluded with Russia ffs. Of course he’s doing this…and more. 
White House lawyers want more "CRISIS talk" is what happens when fascist propagandists take over. Let's be clear: THE WALL IS PROPAGANDA—toxic racist agitprop demagoguery that Trump, FoxNews—AND Russia—use to DIVIDE US. Why would any American spew, condone or enable this BS??
🚨White House began laying groundwork for declaration of national emergency to build border wall—eyeing to divert disaster money that includes $13.9 BILLION. Trump admitted in border photo-op today that crossings are down. SO only crisis is constitutional. washingtonpost.com/powerpost/trum…
