Progressive comic about Trump using the troops for a poltical stunt.

Stunt Soldiers

Unless Congress expressly instructs the soldiers that t-Rump is sending down to the border that they may shoot-to-kill, which they won't, they're otherwise effectively nothing but props.

But this whole exercise is moot because there'll be no physical attacks on anyone except those wretched refugees by t-Rump's border patrol thugs.

Technical Note: For the past couple of weeks I've improved the navigation so that you can click on either side of the comic to go forward/backwards rather than poking at those tiny fucking text links. This only counts for the past dozen or so comics but I plan on adding this to at least all of 2018s comics soon.

How would the Trumpists react if the caravan reached the southern U.S. border and the people asked for assistance in passing through the U.S. to the Canadian border?

Sounds like a good time to clean house.

About what I expected. Thanks.

Militia groups head to border.

They are more likely to shoot American citizens of color who happen to be in range of the bars they will be going to for the reloads of Dutch Courage. Or do each other injuries as the booze flows and the minor doctrinal differences result in open warfare.

It would be awesome if those in uniform of any description crossed the border into Mexico and demanded political asylum and do so en masse and when asked why they can say because of idiot in chief.

His judgement cometh and that right soon. Please vote.

The thing is, how many civilians are arming themselves and heading to the border to "help"? There are always a few nut cases who would love an excuse to shoot anyone, but especially a brown person.

Thankfully, the caravan in question will arrive some time after Xmas. But there could easily be some poor schmuck literally running for their life who crosses the border at the wrong spot.

I'm expecting headlines.

The Pentagon has refused to allow the Army to violate posse comitatus without direct orders from Congress. Who are as likely to do that as to drive to Mexico and pick up the caravan en masse in their personal limos. In other words we have been saved from an international incident that would get us labeled as a rogue nation by a bunch of spineless mugwumps.

As we understand it, you're having a regiment of army rangers on roller-skates race blindfolded down a Texas mountain
then somersaulting through flaming hoops over a pool full of man-eating sharks
finally landing on the backs of wild tigers and then serving milk and cookies to border patrol agents.
Trump: Yes, but this isn't a stunt.
