It’s more about the dehumanizing process of fascism. They eat pets because they are subhuman. They don’t deserve real food and they should be cast out.

American dream right here. Working a menial job at Amazon and studying to become a nurse, a profession in short supply in this country. Examples 1-100 of why immigration is a good thing.

Okay sure but have you considered the fact that he is not white?

Quote

 

The leader of the nonprofit Haitian Bridge Alliance filed charges against former president Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, for the chaos that ensued from their uncorroborated statements about immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, eating pets, according to the Cleveland law firm representing the agency.

The Chandra Law Firm says the nonprofit used a state statute allowing private citizens to "file an affidavit charging the offense committed."

The following charges were filed:

    Disrupting public service — by causing widespread bomb and other threats that resulted in massive disruptions to the public services in Springfield, Ohio;
    Making false alarms — by knowingly causing alarm in the Springfield community by continuing to repeat lies that state and local officials have said were false;
    Committing telecommunications harassment — by spreading claims they know to be false during the presidential debate, campaign rallies, nationally televised interviews, and social media;
    Committing aggravated menacing in violation — by knowingly making intimidating statements with the intent to abuse, threaten, or harass the recipients, including Trump’s threat to deport immigrants who are here legally to Venezuela, a land they have never known;
    Committing aggravated menacing — by knowingly causing others to falsely believe that members of Springfield's Haitian community would cause serious physical harm to the person or property of others in Springfield; and
    Violating the prohibition against complicity — by conspiring with one another and spreading vicious lies that caused innocent parties to be parties to their various crimes.

The charges were filed in Clark County Municipal Court.

Through the filing, the nonprofit asks the court to affirm probable cause and to issue arrest warrants.

The court must have a hearing before rejecting the affidavit as part of the legal process.

Even though I know it’s real, the bodacious, in your face racism of Trump and his followers is breathtaking

That's because the racism is part of the 100% fascism that is Trump, Vance, MAGA, GQP, etc.

They say what fascists say and will do what fascists do if Trump-Vance are elected. 

Trump and Vance (et al) are not "weird." They are damn fucking fascists!

This morning’s Richmond Times Dispatch reports harassment of a local Haitian restaurateur who is being accused of serving cooked cats and dogs. Story is behind the paywall. Trump and Vance are responsible for all of this:

Using rhetoric to incite violence against immigrant communities has long been a part of the fascist playbook

It's also blindingly obvious what they're trying to do. So many people are just so fucking stupid.

Yeah, it's not stupidity (per se), it's outright support.  These people are racists, full stop, and as many of us have been saying for at least a decade, they are terrified of the impending shift in US demographics to where white Americans will constitute less than 50% of the population.  It's happening, and it cannot be stopped.

Oh it's definitely some of both. 

"They're eating the dogs, they're eating the pets" should have permanently killed his political career. But so should a billion other things.

Romney strapping a dog crate to the roof of his car years before he ran almost derailed his campaign.

Donald Trump outright lying about an entire group of minorities?  Nope, because today's GOP is letting their racist flags fly, and the media is bowing down to it, because they need the ratings.

Assuming the republic survives, future generations are going to study this period in-depth, much like we have the rise and fall of the 3rd Reich. We either barely make it and become a model for defeating fascism, or it overtakes us like it has everyone else and we'll be the model for what not to do going forward. Interesting times indeed!

Apparently Washington conquered all of those British airports so that Trump may end The Great Experiment.

And it won’t cause a single true physical or economic problem for them when it happens .  Just a rancid idea
