You may have seen the scary headlines about migrants from Morocco “crossing into Spain.” There’s some important context missing: they reached a Spanish territory in North Africa, not mainland Europe. That distinction matters. But FoxNews and the adminstration doesn't want you to know this

Trump secretly offers Morocco economic and tax favors in exchange for increasing migration pressure on Spain, hoping the resulting political turmoil will hurt the Spanish government in the coming election.

More of his revenge chaos. What a pos. He fuks up the entire world. He is good at motivating hoards like j6. Also southern border ‘invasion’. Muck raking and sht slinging. He is just such a loser. Why does he sitNsht in the oval?

Trump’s smug mug foreshadowing the event and him and Israel demanding Morocco take over the territory so that no one can close Gibraltar to Israel.

Telling the truth to the hapless MAGAmericans who couldn’t find Spain on a map and definitely not a Spanish territory in a country they confuse with Monaco would be pointless. So Fox News doesn’t tell the truth.

I knew exactly what you meant and even had a chuckle. In 1980, my sister spent a college semester studying in Austria. She had enough people ask her if she would see kangaroos while there that she began to expect the question. Nothing much has changed here...

So embarrassing and humiliating for the US president to compare himself to anyone who knows anything about executing a military operation after his Operation Epic Fail has had him over a barrel for months now. Rump is a fool and a 🤡.

We all know Trump lashed out at Spain and I wouldn’t be surprised if he and his administration made a deal with Morocco’s government to initiate all that. In “normal” times you would never think the US would do things like that but with this lunatic in charge everything is possible.

Yes, I'm glad Kinzinger is advocating for anti-Trump now. But at one time he (apparently) closed his eyes to a lot of Republican ugliness.

“But” what? That in no way negates his clarity and contribution now. In fact, it makes him remarkably brave (he and his family get threats) and remarkably useful (understands the mindset on the other side). He has earned the right to be respected for who he is today.

Lies, he voted with trump over 90% of the time. People like you are why it needs saying. You're not going to re-write history.

But the whole party decided to do whatever treasonous shit they want and he still identifies as a Republican. They're focused on serving Israel and Russia not anything else the claim to stand for.

And importantly, Morocco opens its borders like this whenever they're in an argument with Spain. In this case, Israel and the US stirred up shit, and ran an online disinformation campaign encouraging migrants during a border opening. They got hundreds of people drowned or injured.

Don't know what Fox News is moaning about. It's not of any importance to the US. It's just to entertain their racism and to rile up and scare their viewers, who couldn't find Spain or Marocco on a map to save their life.

Rupert modeled Fox off of the National Enquire, DJT was an avid reader of the N't Enquire regularly contributing outlandish stories for it to build his personal statue and squash stories about him that were true and shed light on the many illegalities of his making. David Pecker testified to that.

You have highlighted much of the real problem, and that is as usual, projection. Migrants flooded into Ceuta because horrible people from "people's" party and VOX wanted them to, encouraged them to, all because of a humane court decision. Then they realized they were manipulated and went home

Greg Abbott in Texas had a big press conference and showed videos of the Texas Guard storming the beach and recapturing an "island" in the Rio Grande that was militarized and occupied by "the Mexican Cartel". In actuality it was a 12 foot wide by 25 foot long sandbar. No people or evidence.

They never get elected unless there's some kind of [fill in the blank: jihadist, Mexican, communist, Muslim, Haitian , socialist, African, Chinese, immigrant, etc.] boogeyman raping women and stealing their jobs to rabble rouse the gullible. And it's a totally replaceable word. Changes everyday.

Reports said that the migrants were bombarded and enticed to enter, by online media campaign telling them there would be free accommodations and assistance waiting for them.

Someone I graduated from high school posted something about the invasion of Spain and how that was off her bucket list. She was supposedly one of the smart ones in HS...

Russian military pushed those people to migrate by force, typically, murdering and stealing everything in their path, forcing people to fleet. It’s not the first time Russia has done this to Africans.  How is it that the Right-Wing all of a sudden, align perfectly with Putin‘s ambitions.

Why does the US have Hawaii? Why does UK have Gibraltar? There are about 60-70 external territories around the world. It's all about history. Ceuta and Melilla were Spanish before Morocco was Morroco.

There are two in Morocco, Mellila, is further down the coast to the east. A fair number of European States have enclaves in other States. Spain also has Llivia, an enclave in France. Look up Baarle Nassau and Baarle Hartog (Belgium and Netherlands). There are enclaves within enclaves!

Why do people still have colonies and territories these days anyway? It’s bad enough that exploitative European colonialism was a thing, why continue with it? People deserve freedom and self determination. End the colonial era of human civilization.

Ceuta is a common landing & departure port. I know, made it to and from Morocco via this city when I was a teen traveling Europe. Many people never travel far beyond their home territories, & never bother to learn facts.

Isn’t it just a tiny bit suspicious that all these people rushed the outpost at once? Almost like they were told to do it? Almost like migrants were told Joe Biden opened the borders. Why doesn’t anyone see, these are propaganda moves designed to enflame the frightened right wing?

Better to say I even think they didn’t know ….. and also that 97 percent is gone home the same and next day….Here in Europe we even think that the CIA has something to do with this….trump hates Spain and the rest of Europe so…..

Is is so egregiously pathetic. But no-one watching Fox News would know what these exotic names like "Morocco" and "Spain" are anyway. They mostly stay home and have sex with their cousins and leave that fancy stuff to people who can read.

Also worth pointing out that they wouldn't have been able to cross unless the Moroccan border guards had stood down on that day, in a concerted action with bad-faith actors on social media. This was an alignment of the right wing ecosystem & a Rabat govt pissed off with Spain talking to Algeria.

Ceuta is a Spanish autonomous city on Africa's northern coast, directly across the Strait of Gibraltar from mainland Spain. Captured by Portugal in 1415 and transferred to Spanish sovereignty in 1668

Thank you 🙏 for that clarification because that information actually makes a HUGE HUGE difference. For it seems these desperate people might have been trying to reclaim back stolen African territory not invade Europe.

And word on the street they were sent by Israel as they have a good relationship with Morocco and they wanted to do something since Spain was not willing to help

I agree with you but you have to understand why that's alarming to people who assumed it was access to the mainland. With Schengen they can move around easily and with the horrific UK rape gangs and other violent attacks being allowed in Europe by many Muslim immigrants, it's why people are afraid.

In the UK it definitely has. The government, police and more have been a big part in covering up the gang rapes happening and even enabling it in some cases. We're talking about thousands and thousands of cases there alone.

Please folks, take notice that media like FOX News is doing what was done back under Hitler, you only got information that was controlled by the dictator.Fox,CBS, and others that have been bought by billionaires loyal to trump control what they want you to hear,see&think. It’s called brainwashing.

It’s unfortunate that this has to explained to people who have no idea where or what Ceuta is. Also where did the misinformation come from telling people that that day was the one to go? Seems like the kind of thing the Trump regime would do to punish Spain for having a spine. Pathetic all of it.

Educated folks know. MAGA people are willfully or incapable of accepting that they too, were the original “caravans” on Mayflower and Plymouth Rock. But the colored folks, oh no, so so scary and threatening to the sovereignty of their privileged skin, said Fox News!

This is like a bunch of Cubans breaking into Gitmo & right wing media screaming that it's happening at the end of your driveway in Wyoming.

Malcolm Nance pointed out that all this crossing happened when the Moroccan prime minister was visiting the white house. The Trump admin has changed long-standing US policy from considering this land to be Spanish to calling it "occupied" Moroccan territory. "Coincidence takes a lot of planning."

And the number was likely 50,000 not 60 or 70. And 48,000 or so went back of their own accord (no Spain didn't break the ECHR by forcing them out). And the remainder can't get on ferries to mainland Spain. They could only enter as Moroccan police stood aside, while keeping back subsaharan migrants.

I heard this story in the mainstream press when it occurred, researched it to see where the location was, then became irate that the mainstream press did not lead with the actual location of the incursion. It seems orchestrated and targeted for effect and I believe the press fell down. #magasphere
