There is a story of a chick going crazy and smashing a cat's head in...all the conservatives are touting it as proof of a nationwide epidemic of pet eating.

These people are weird as hell.

It's not even an immigrant thing. It's an Ohio thing. We up here in Michigan knew those lower people were up to no good.

He misunderstood when lesbians said they eat pussy

Grab the pussy, then eat the pussy?

Other way around, with permission.

Please don’t be projection this time, please.

Trump has never had a pet because he eats them, pass it on.

I’m wary af of this outlet, but kudos to them for flat out saying “falsely accuses” at least.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'd say it's more like he "baselessly accuses" them. Saying your source is social media is about as meaningful as saying your source is your gut.

He said his source was "a man on TV."

Not even social media. He saw "a man" on the "tv" say it, so it must be true. Did he specify what man? No. What TV show? No.

The moderators had comments from Springfield officials, and he had a nebulous TV man.

That's just false, not even baseless.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I'm a man, and I'm on TV. So a man on TV said it. And a very credible man I should add, as I am very credible.

So your source is yourself, saying what you said right now?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Man. Woman. Person. Camera. TV.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He had a portable tv and was watching himself as he said it in the debate.

Trumpception.

Person, woman, man, camera, TV.

It all comes full circle. The top has been spinning the whole time.

The moderators had preemptively contacted the city manager of Springfield, Ohio. That person said it isn’t happening. Do you need more?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Did I sound like I believed a lick of his nonsense?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I mean to qualify as “falsely”, which is stronger than “baselessly”. I don’t doubt your position, I’m just appreciating that a media outlet is calling out falsehoods clearly without using softened terms.
