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.

16. It's an Urban Legend
Tue Sep 10, 2024, 11:08 PM
Sep 2024

Sometimes called an Urban Myth
This particular tale (about pets) has been around for decades

IT’S 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 ... IT’S NOT TRUE!! There ARE NO poodles in the noodles.

Justice matters.

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?

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.

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.
