    Millions of dogs and cats are eaten around the world yearly.

    This is a fact, and we can come to certain conclusions.

        I’d say one conclusion (yes, an assumption) I could make is that dogs and cats somewhere in America have been eaten.

          Yepp, at some point at some time someone in USA has eaten a dog or a cat. But do Haitians regularly steal other people’s pets and eat them? Very unlikely.

              On a post about Trump saying that Haitians are taking other people’s pets and eating them, you said:

              Millions of dogs and cats are eaten around the world yearly.

              This is a fact, and we can come to certain conclusions.

              You can’t blame people from thinking that you are inferring that Trump is telling the truth.

              But we’ve come to the conclusion now that Trump is indeed lying and Haitians aren’t stealing people’s pets and eating them. Has it ever happened anywhere? Very possible. Is it currently happening in Springfield? No.

          If I were to speculate…

          • There are people in some countries that eat dogs and cats.
          • Someone’s neighbour’s sister friend said they saw someone with a dead cat with the intent to eat it.

          Therefore immigrants are regularly stealing other people’s pets and are eating them.

          We can extrapolate this with anything.

          • There are people that poop their pants.
          • There are reports of Trump wearing diapers and smelling liken poop.

          I think ww can draw our own conclusion about this one…

    We’re far beyond the point of no return with these “people.” We know, they know, everybody knows what a menace they are and there’s no pretending otherwise. He set up the system in his favor last time, and could possibly reap the rewards in November. Protesting and harsh rhetoric will accomplish nothing.

    But we’re all too comfortable to truly defend normalcy anymore. We’ll watch it happen.

    ABC FAKE NEWS has been completely discredited, and is now under investigation. Did they give Comrade Kamala the questions? It was 3 on 1, but they were mentally challenged people, against one person of extraordinary genius. It wasn’t even close, as is now reflected in the polls. I WON THE DEBATE!

    Trump lives on the wrong side of every line. If you can no longer support him after his latest transgression, you are probably on the wrong side of a bunch of issues. I’m glad people are realizing they cannot support him anymore, but there is not nearly enough introspection among former Trumpers.

    For like the millionth fucking time. Stop writing articles like this as if there was no previous context. He crossed this line over a decade ago.

    1. Trump is a incompetent liar, with a first Presidential administration that saw over 1 million Americans die from a purposefully sandbagged and mismanaged worldwide viral pandemic response, capped off by a violent and deadly insurrection in the nations capitol building
    2. Having had his pants pulled down on national television by Kamala Harris, he has no other option than to start throwing molotov cocktails into the zeitgeist, knowing the feckless media will oblige for ad revenue, hoping to push Harris/Waltz below the fold
    3. Well meaning though obviously ignorant netziens continue to repost articles, mocking Trump, thereby amplifying his messages of hate and division, which is the only way his molotov cocktail throwing can achieve the goal of keeping him on the front page, and sucking all the air out of any energy praising Harris

      As Boris Johnson famously wrote about it, this is “the dead cat on the table” strategy:

      There is one thing that is absolutely certain about throwing a dead cat on the dining room table – and I don’t mean that people will be outraged, alarmed, disgusted. That is true, but irrelevant. The key point, says my Australian friend, is that everyone will shout, “Jeez, mate, there’s a dead cat on the table!” In other words, they will be talking about the dead cat – the thing you want them to talk about – and they will not be talking about the issue that has been causing you so much grief.

      These right wing fuckos all have the same playbook

    He didn’t do that when he committed treason probably a thousand times?

      I was going to say the “grab them by the pussy” tape was crossing the line, but yeah, treason as well.
