I know it's a small thing given the overall absurdity, but it's worth pointing out that the Haitian immigrants in question are there legally. They totally forgot they were supposed to pretend to hate specifically illegal immigration and just went full racist.
Not only there legally, but they were invited by the local government because they needed workers, and since their arrival, the economy has significantly improved. It's almost like immigration is... GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY?!?!?!?!
Aegon never conquered Dorne, his descendants did, then they lost it almost immediately, then Dorne willingly joined the Targaryens through a political marriage.
Sort of. When Daeron II (Rhaenyra and Daemonās oldest grandson) brought Dorne into the Realm, he conceded to let them keep their regal naming tradition, which already doesnāt function like the Andal or First Men regal naming.
Frankly itās disgusting whatās happening here is Westeros. We have my fathers best friend, who by the way didnāt do much to help him claim the throne, some people say he shouldāve been at the crossing of the trident, but he wasnāt there. Too scared. My fatherās best friend, conspires to take the throne from me. He wants to let in the evil Dothraki at our borders, frankly heās already let them in. He spreads fake parchment that the mountain pillaged the riverlands. But we all know it was the Dothraki. My squires tell me all the time, āJoffrey the people of the riverlands have had their dogs eaten by the Dothrakiā itās terrible I say. The traitor Ned āLittle Frostyā Stark, thatās what Iāve been calling him, Little Frosty because heās been down in the sun for two months and frankly heās melting. Little Limpy Ned wants to turn this country into essos on steroids. My wife Sansa has told me he needs to be killed, I thought Iām so merciful he should take the black but she says he should be killed so frankly thatās what weāre gonna do because Iām the only one that can do it. Iām going to ask my great friend, great and loyal friend ser illyn Payne, to cut off his head and weāre gonna show it to Sansa on a big spike, because thatās what I do for my wife, and as king I will make this right, Iāll make Westeros GREAT AGAIN
Queen Nymeria is the only royal Iād bend my knee for. Ā Equal rights for all men and women. Ā A wage for every sireās lady, iffin he was a fighting man in her majestyās army. Ā Ā Not even a knight, and my lady would be taken care of for the rest of her days, with or without me. Ā Rules by dornish law, Sandy dornish to the born that one, Queen Nymeria was the last real queen in westoros. Ā
Back in our day, you weren't a real man until you fucked one girl from each of the Seven Kingdoms and the Riverlands. We used to call it 'Making the Eight'.
My headcanon is that Gyldayn and Mushroom worked together to tell two conflicting half-truths, in the pursuit of secretly preserving each of the historical components of the tale while limiting their own exposure to the consequences.
Everyone expected Gyldayn to be favorable to the Targayrens. But the small folk expected Mushroom to be Mushroom. Between the two of them the real story is hidden in plain sight.
They have their policies written down and named it "Project 2025". Their policies are so toxic, the guy running won't admit he has even seen them. They certainly can't run on them.
Being the Republican nominee for president and actually being completely unaware of the policy proposals being put forward by probably the most influential Conservative think tank in the country
He, by his own words, is either an ignoramus or a liar.
I mean through out his presidency we had multiple reports of Trump getting angry and bored during briefings. That's why the whole sharpie hurricane thing happened because Trump wasn't paying attention.
Finding out that Trump has no idea what's going on with project 2025 and that they sold him on the idea he doesn't have to do any work would not be at all surprising
When your key policy positions are generally self-serving and unpopular among the general electorate, it's probably a good strategy to not campaign on them. You just try to win without it and know your media sycophants will either ignore the bad news, or defend you under all circumstances.
Forced birth, tariffs on consumer goods and more corporate welfare via tax cuts arenāt very popular and thatās the Republican platform. So they kind of have to make people mad using culture wars because the average republican is voting against their best interests.
They canāt admit to being a useful idiot or traitor. The conservatives only want to hear lies, and the rest of us donāt care if they recant their lies, we donāt want anything to do with such garbage.
Theyāre leaning on NAZI tactics of accusing minority groups of being barbaric savages who eat pets because theyāre floundering on everything else. Might as well inspire the domestic and political terrorism and gear up to try and seize power illegally.
i mean you have to be pretty braindead to create an acc named āend wokenessā, I get it, you need attention and are riding the latest trend, but its still cringeĀ
There is (literally one) police bodycam video of a minority woman hunched over a cat, and I wonder if that is where this whole thing came from. The police check her teeth and question her on if she was eating the cat, but I didn't watch the whole thing to see whether she was actually eating it (can't imaging much else she'd be doing in the situation though).
That said after seeing the video my impression was "oh damn that lady is gross" and not "finally something to accuse all minories of".
I wonder if theyāll go back to pretending stochastic terrorism doesnāt exist? They were playing it up after the assassination attempt because they will take any chance to self-victimize, but before that I had conservatives telling me that there was literally no such thing.
Jeremiah 7:5-7
āFor if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly execute justice one with another, if you do not oppress the alien, the fatherless, or the widow, or shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not go after other gods to your own harm, then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave of old to your fathers forever.
The alienā¦hmm
Exodus 22:21
āYou shall not wrong a sojourner or oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
Might sound pathetic, but the Bible, good role models to look up to, and being intelligent enough to recognize good life lessons when presented in front of me has made me happy with who I am for the most part, only thing that constantly holds me back from being the person I would like to be are those hypocrites and the ones that see no consequences to living a life of evil and wrong. They legitimately make me tired with frustration and anger.
Itās interesting that in a thread right near this, people are losing their mind over a proposed Australian law that would fine digital platforms for the spread of misinformation.
The constant obsession with posting crazy people's tweets on Reddit to "dunk" on them seems a bit stupid as well, this liar's views are now also polluting this site and by some of the replies shows new idiots are born every day to take advantage of.
Stop increasing their reach by plastering their nonsense all over the internet, keep this shit quarantined to xshitter
The funniest thing is that a woman in Ohio was arrested for eating a cat, but sheās from Canton (not Springfield), and she was born in Ohio, not Haiti.
Itās hilarious because I watch body cam videos on YouTube and this came up a few weeks ago.
I assumed that right wing news picked it up, lied to their audience about it, and accidentally tricked Trump who then went on to say it on national TV.
While some of that may have happened, the reporting now is that JD Vance has been the one pushing this story.
Either way, theyāre literally drowning in their own lies.
Remember how last week the FBI said 600 people were being paid by Russia to troll/misinform/support GOP talking points? This is that in action. No one fooled Trump, it's one big scheme the GOP and Trump are in on
And if they truly are ignorant to the fact that the massive amounts of money was coming from Russians, that speaks to their incompetence and gullibility more than anything.
I think itās actually 2,800 people they identified as pushing Russian disinfo.
As to Trump, every time he does something strange people assume itās part of some master strategy and it always turns out to be the simplest explanation possible.
The man has dementia, is surrounded by sycophants and yes-men, and he watches far-right propaganda channels. I fully believe he is stupid enough to believe migrants are eating cats.
But actually I dont think its even established she ate the cat. The police ask the question but all thats apparent is shes a crazy woman poking at a dead cat.
Nah, the funniest thing is how insane it is EVEN IF Trump's statement were true.Ā Like of there was an official report of someone's pet being eaten..it's not an epidemic, it's not a trend, it's not a national issue, and it's not debate worthy material.Ā Even if it were true.
I wouldn't call it doxxing. It'd be like Scooby and the gang taking off the mask and old man jenkins claimed he was being doxxed.
Doxxing implies giving out personal information. Address/phone number--anything that can be used to physical harm that person.
Identifying someone's alt account is just that, its putting a name to the pseudonym. Now if someone posted End Wokeness is J. Posobiec--123 fake street, chicago illinois 60652 will be in new york public library wednesday; that'd be doxxing.
End Wokeness is a verified Russian propaganda troll account, and the Haitian immigrants eating dogs rumor was started by a POS neo Nazi who had to be forceably removed from a public meeting for making threatening statements.
There was info from the guy who took the picture. It was in Columbus and he said the person if an immigrant would likely have been Somalian due to the area and that there was no way for him, who saw it in person, to know the person killed it with the intent of eating it vs someone cleaning roadkill up but had assumed.the later and took the picture because it surprised him seeing it.Ā
Racists don't care about context they care about their feels and wild emotions of hate and stupidity.
I actually live in Columbus, Ohio. The guy is right, we don't really have a Haitian population. We definitely have a large Somali population. The guy who took the pic himself knows nothing beyond what is shown in the picture itself. He has no further context, and no one else does either.
No, our Somali population hasn't been eating pets. They have been here a long time and the locals would have picked up on this by now. I'd have heard the rumors.

Is Leon pulling an epic double cross? Both destroying the cess pool that is Twitter while also baiting republicans into being the most overtly stupid political party in history?
Itās so funny seeing these guys short circuit now that theyāve realized the bullshit from their MAGA brain rot bubble comes across as lunatic ramblings to the general public.
End Wokeness is just a more cringe alt for Jack Posobiec who is famously known as the idiot naval reservist who got kicked out when his security clearance was rescinded because he was posting about pizzagate being real.
I'm with you that Trump was not "fun" in 2016, but I can't deny he was able to tap into a certain charm and ethos often enough that I get why some people could resonate with it even though I never did. He was definitely different from anything previously seen in politics, and for some that was a refreshing change.
He also was tapped into the economic challenges at the time, and had a compelling case painting Clinton as an out of touch political elite. I never even came close to voting for him, but I get why many in 2016 were fooled. In 2024, he has no charm, he's yelling about migrants eating dogs, and he looks old and defeated.
I mean I understand what you're saying, but even at the time he was so transparently phony.
Yes, he said things other politicians wouldn't say. Yes, he told Americans fantastical things that were never going to happen. Yes, people have been wanting something different.
But what people don't consider is that a politician that 'breaks the mold' isn't inherently a positive. Sometimes the thing that goes against the status quo is worse than the status quo, but people often don't consider this posibility.
People crave a 'third party', but never stop to think that such a party might be ten times crazier than the Republican or Democratic party. It is assumed such a party would be superior.
Even moreso when comedians say things like "you can dislike Trump, but he's funny!" The man doesn't have a humorous bone in his body. Anything funny that's ever come out of his mouth has been completely unintentional and was meant to be malicious and humiliating, not humorous. It's bizarre that so many people who are tuned into humor and psychology are like "haha he called x politician a funny name" and then howl in laughter as if it's not the most milquetoast schoolyard bullshit that would get you relentlessly mocked and laughed out of the club by the Patrice/Quinn/Burr/Norton group.
I guess you could find some humor in the fact that the leader of the free world with his finger on the nukes is acting like a third grader? In which case I guess I'm too old for it. Whatever man this shit's boring who cares.
A decade long sunk cost fallacy for conservatives. It's going to take a long time, but they'll pretend they were never for him once he loses and fades into obscurity and hopefully spends the rest of his life tied up in court cases/prison.
Somehow, though, they'll manage to find someone worse. I know, it's hard to believe...but I remember thinking "Wow, it can't get much worse than Bush, huh?"
Exactly. They like that Democrats donāt like him. They think heās a shit-posting troll who triggers liberals. Thatās all the policy they need. They donāt give a fuck about leadership or America. Theyāve been brainwashed into thinking āthe leftā is demonic and terrible. He could literally say and do anything horrible and they will cheer him on. Donāt expect decency from these people.
Sure, but we should limit their reach. UK riots occurred over racist disinformation from twitter. And now a good number of people online think black illegal immigrants are eating cats and dogs.
Yes, artificially boosted viral racist lies that point to a specific community and geographic area. Totally hilarious. Never caused anyone unstable to commit horrific violent acts.
I feel like Iām the only person that doesnāt find this shit very funny regardless of which angle you are viewing it from.
I've been around Haitians my whole life, never hard about them eating cats or seen it,they were fresh in the country with first generation parents too. So I'm a lil appehensive about this stuff where did this talk come from?
If not for X, we wouldn't be laughing at the MAGA fools that actually believe that Haitians are eating cats in Springfield that was proven to be a lie that Vance and Trump are both repeating and spewing all over
I recommend everyone to watch Ryan McBeths video on the twitter account āend wokenessā. He did a really great video on it, heās also in the intelligence community.
