The Pentagon announced all active-duty troops sent to the U.S. southern border ahead of a migrant caravan’s arrival will begin to drawdown, just as that caravan of asylum-seeking refugees began to arrive at a port of entry in Tijuana, Mexico.
Army Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Buchanan, who runs the mission out of Texas, told Politico that the troops sent by President Trump to back up existing border enforcement “should be home by Christmas.” He also said troop numbers would rapidly fall after “engineer and logistics troops” finish fortifying entry ports and base camps along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Buchanan also confirmed that the Pentagon rejected a Department of Homeland Security request for “armed force to back up Border Patrol agents in the event of a violent confrontation,” describing the request as a “law enforcement task.” Migrants started arriving in Tijuana by the hundreds late last week, with Mexican officials worrying about how to house the influx of migrants.
political stunt. Mattis straight up said he didn't think US soldiers would be taking over border patrol duties or doing anything with any migrants. It was a blatant political stunt to paint this as an invading horde to be met with armed troops ready to shoot people.
Uneducated people fearful of made up stories pay the bills

Statistically speaking, the gullible ones that believe this shit are generally from the states paying least taxes.
Those states tend to receive more money from the Federal government than they give because they can't manage a balanced budget on their own.
The major coastal states are subsidizing their stupidity and mismanagement of federal money.
California subsidizes the parasite known as /killcen/ as he collects his gov check each month and vary little of it will go to pay for this
Logan Lee
it's all bullshit, asylum seekers shouldn't get a say where they want to go, if a place offers asylum you take it
Carter Brown
Red states are far more dependent on federal taxes than blue states
Why don't you break it down by race and find out where the money is actually going smooth brain?
Jace Martinez
But, but Mattis said the military doesn't do stunts.
Isaac Rogers
gee whiz Comiforinia and jew york got most niggers and spics but is low
like yor IQ
Nolan Morales
You got a source for that chart?
Brandon James
2.5 paragraphs called a story beats Alex Jones where there's only a headline but both are still equivalent fake news.
Jonathan Flores
With grammar like that you might could get a job translating Trumps speech.
Daniel Mitchell
"Most dependant on federal taxes" literally means least ammount of personal and state taxes and makes the fed more accountable for their operations therein. The state gov has enough money, red states are producers. Anyone, even 9gag, can spin a statistic. This isnt anything new. Stop taking the bait
Adrian Moore
In northern states they speak that way, he's probably using tts, I would also like a source.
Happy Thanksgiving. Have a safe and happy holiday.

Wendy and I ate SO MUCH FUCKING FOOD today, they had to Roll Me Out The Door.
God DAMN it was delicious.
We went to two friend's individual parties and WOW the food was insane. Fucking delicious.
We brought a shit ton of turkey, ham and shrimp home for the cats, who also ate so much they all three fell asleep immediately afterwards.
Wendy's laying next to me snoring quietly. My cat Rockets asleep on my stomach.
I'm about to fall asleep, too…..
I hope all of you have the best of possible holidays, whatever religion or belief system you may be from….
If your parents are alive, find warmth and closeness with them however possible, even if it must be by long distance.
Find the ones you love, and let them know how much you love them, and how much you appreciate them….
Goodnight…….
Be well…..

Andy, Imade a braised fennel and beet salad with pomegranate seeds and pine nuts.
I had a lobster bisque with this to which I added some of the roasted fennel and some chardonnay left over from yesterday
You had turkey?
Cannibalism should be frowned upon

Nice beard, faggot. I'm astounded at how much gay porn and phallic imagery you have saved on that computer. Your computer hard drive has AIDS. Your computer hard drive needs Jesus.
Ryan Rogers
The military is doing exactly what it was supposed to be doing, which was handling engineering and logistics work to prepare the border.
Using the military to carry out the duties of the Border Patrol would be a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. So I for one am glad that one of the acts that protects my liberty is being upheld.

Trump spent $200,000,000 on the election stunt of sending 6,000 troops to the border, then withdrew them before the caravan arrived
200 million
but it's no longer his money, so he doesn't need to declare bankruptcy again
Along with trumps complete lack of respect and dignity toward the Veteran’s Day Memorials, his slander against top ranking soldiers who have accompished more in one day before lunch than trump ever has, his bone spur deferments from military service and his denigrating McCain for being captured, this man is trash
David Perry
(possibly this stunt cost Beto O’Rourke his election, but still, you’d think keeping a democrat out of the Texas senate shouldn’t cost 200 mil)
Jace Hall
Probably one of the few times that he’s pulled out.
B, but Alex Jones & Trump said it's an invasion that 500 of them are terrorists that want to kill Americans. (As if they really went there and took names to create a list and came up with an exact number of 500) Guess I'll take all this ammo I bought to the range and shoot up an old computer or something,,, anyone taking odds on the next invasion date? 2020? lol
David Garcia
When is the space alien invasion going to occur, that's the invasion I'm waiting for? 2020? 2024?
Hudson Perez
If the invasion is off then what am I going to do with all this Constantine wire I bought? lol
Christian Cooper
Most brown people live in red states
Wyatt Brooks
She's just angry cause Trumps hair is nicer than hers and it came from a younger prettier girl. lol
Michael Bell
I think that the caravan is real but whether Trump is or was really going to do anything about it is another thing
It interesting that our favorite weirdo is sperging out in this thread
Josiah Martinez
Maybe we should tell the caravan that Senator swellmouth is going to nuke us so they can turn around in time to miss the explosion?
Bentley Adams
Ah so that's why Trump is booting him.
Dylan Long
That's nice *vomits on you*
Carson Garcia
Complaining about the US military being sent to help secure the border instead of invading other countries…
Wut
Kayden Perez

Nolan Brown
The Trump butt fucker isn't even Mexican, so what's your point?
Sebastian Green
Nigs and spics, being the welfare leeches they are, live in the red states. Plus what said.
