(2,675 posts)racist trope from a century ago about the "Yellow Menace" and tossing it out against another group of people. I guess the white supremacists still haven't gotten over the one slave rebellion which triumphed - the Haitians - so they're scraping the bottom of the barrel for insults.

(34,608 posts)And they are scared. It is really disgusting how the GOP just throws people and groups under the bus and places them in harm's way for political expediency.
Justice matters.

(849 posts)Sometimes called an Urban Myth
This particular tale (about pets) has been around for decades
ITS NOT TRUE !!!!!!!!
Folklorist Jan Brunvand (now in his 80s) has written wrote and talked about Urban Legends at length, in books (with great titles) and lectures.
Brunvand once said I could run ads with the Super Bowl broadcast saying that the latest hot legends are pure folklore, and still some people . . . would pass on [the stories]
And it always happens to the friend of a friend
Again, the pet thing ... ITS NOT TRUE!! There ARE NO poodles in the noodles.
Justice matters.

Same old tired playbook.

(1,875 posts)Trump knows that Vance really screwed the pooch by alienating all the cat ladies.
What probably happened is that somebody showed Trump the numbers (We all know how much he lurves numbers.) on how many people look at cat memes and suggested that he go right for their squishy amygdalae and tell people that Harris is the one encouraging dudes to grab all the pussies.
Trump also knows that even a hottie like Kristie Noem couldn't take the heat when word got out about her shooting a dog.
First Trump warned women that a vote for Harris was an open invitation for themselves and their daughters to be sexually assaulted by immigrants and now he's warning the cat ladies that immigrants will eat their . . . felines.
Do you think that he might just be a bit worried about where he stands with female voters? Gosh, who knew that telling us what to do with our bodies and endangering our health could backfire on him?

(894 posts)Trump is going to be humiliated with the whole world watching.
Then, in either 2025 or 2026, his ass is going to be sent to prison.

(1,706 posts)His "black jobs" nonsense? But, in his mind, he fixed it by saying African American and Hispanic jobs.

Kashkakat v.2.0
(1,909 posts)true (although a certain percentage will be) but to instill enough uncertainty and confusion that enough people dont know what to believe and just give up and stop caring. Remember that vast swaths of the country dont get npr, lack reliable interent, and get only RW propaganda, religion, country music and headbanger metal on the radio. IMHO it wasnt good that the moderators let Frump babble on and get 5 more minutes than KH.

(852 posts)...about MAGAts recording themselves killing pets while pretending they're immigrants- then mass-distributing on various social media to lend credence to dear leader's ridiculous claim?
