Updated with a note on three additional Springfield school closures due to threats. Two elementary schools closed early and the kids will be reunited with their parents at a separate safe location, and a middle school didn't open at all.
Don't rush to judgement and blame Trumpers for the ongoing threats. It was probably antifa, right? Or PETA.
GAAAAAAHHHHH! I am so fucking furious about this. The couch fucking story has no victims (except Jizzy Divans, I guess), punches up, and is CLEARLY a joke. The Haitians eating pets story is just blood libel and will encourage this sort of stochastic terrorism. These assholes don’t care if people get killed. And that’s why they shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the levers of power.
“Good for them? Right?” she asks of the horrible Revolution of Saint Domingue!!!No then and NO today. Colonialism never looked better after the historical experiences of Haiti and Cuba. Instead of sending your people to an alien culture as immigrants let Washington or Paris or Beijing manage your affairs so that ALL benefit from civilization and not only those happy fee that left for greener pastures. Let Reformed Colonialism make a grand comeback!
The latest from that swine Trump (with apologies to all decent, natural, four-footed pigs) appears to be a promise that he'll begin his mass deportation program, once he's president again (fate forfend) with the "Venezuelan" illegal immigrants in Springfield, Ohio.
No surprise that he doesn't know the difference between Venezuelans and Haitians. Or that he's unaware that the Haitians in Springfield are not illegal immigrants. There is very little in the real world that he does know, or wants to know.
I sent emails to Governor Dewine demanding that he do something to fix this situation and Attorney General Yost demanding that he publicly apologize to Nathan and Danielle Clark for spreading the lie about their son.
An attempt to leave a voicemail with Senator Vance proved unfruitful as his voice mailbox is currently full.
If it turned out that they had been serving dog at one of Trump's 'establishments', there'd be ten million MAGA proudly filming themselves BBQing one this weekend. And telling the rest of you what unpatriotic pieces of Antifa you soy-boys are. And swapping sauce recipes.
MIght also want to go over to Daily Kos to read Frank Vyan Walton's piece about how the pet-eating lie originated with an actual Neo-Nazi group in Springfield called 'Blood Tribe':
I have been reading the Parker novels by "Richard Stark" (nom de plume for Donald Westlake) over the last year, and am getting towards the end. Parker plans and implements ambitious heists. I'm up to the 2000 novel Flashfire, which takes place in Palm Beach. Parker is undercover, looking for a house to use as a base before a heist goes down. So he talks to a real estate agent, and this exchange happens:
“Donald Trump never fit in here,” Leslie said, having pointed out Mar-a-Lago, which for many years had belonged to Mrs. Merriweather Post, who definitely did fit in here, and which after her death had been for years a white elephant on the market–nobody’s inherited money, no matter how much of it there was, could afford the upkeep of the huge sprawling place–until Trump had grabbed it up, expecting it to be his entrée to Palm Beach, misunderstanding the place, believing Palm Beach was about real estate, like New York, never getting it that Palm Beach was about money you hadn’t earned.
“I should be pleased Mr. Trump took over Mar-a-Lago,” Leslie said, “I think we should all be pleased, because we certainly didn’t want it to turn into Miss Havisham’s wedding cake out there, but to be honest with you, I think a place must be just a little déclassé if Donald Trump has even heard of it.”
Oh, Doktor! Such wishful thinking that this hate might burn itself out! I think JD Vance was worried about that very thing because he upped the ante! "The Advocate" is reporting today that Vance is moving on from the pet-eating bullshit and is going full-bore into "Haitians=HIV/AIDS humanitarian crisis!" This is not fringe and weird. This is knowingly falling back on decades of the worst racism used against Haitians! This not only puts Haitians (and all other Black people) in significant danger of attack, it spreads disinformation about HIV/AIDS as an automatic death sentence and that everyone should be afraid of "the gay!" I suppose Vance sees this as a two-fer because he is unleashing mindless violence on two communities at the same time!! He already has the votes of violent haters, so I guess he's just doing this for the fun of it!! 🤬🤬
All - I'd encourage you to stop modifying this community as "legal", primarily bc it buys into the right wing frame & sets up "othering" people w.o documents. Their legal status shouldn't matter.

It was drag queens.
And don't you dare call them terrorists, they're just concerned citizens!
No, I'm going to rush to judgement and blame the He-Man Woman Haters' Club, JD Vance, President.
Thankfully, I don't have to rush to judgement. I'm recently retired and live there now.
I wouldn't put it past PETA, honestly. Their stunts are off the rails
The Haitians are eating them on pita?
Ah pita da fool!
Now is not the time ...
Waiting for Fox News to pin the blame on Soros and his fellow members in The Illuminati!
Isn't that Katt Williams' job?
Whatever happened to BLM? Did they disband or something?
I'd get rid of that attention span, post haste. No good can come from having it.
That's so yesterday!
Blue-haired Feminists United did it.
For once, they can't blame it on the childless cat ladies.
I'll go for those wayward Keep Left signs.
BHFU are not to be taken lightly.
Worst case scenario is that they bring crochet hooks and yarn, and you know how it gets when there's crochet hooks and yarn.
Tangles
Not my fetish.
Probably mad they didn't get trans surgery in jail.

The latest price of Big Macs, maybe.
He has staff to know things. Sadly, they don't know anything either because he hires the absolute worst people.

"Heard it from a friend, who heard it from a friend, who heard it that Haitians been eating your pets. . ." Apologies to REO Speedwagon.
Did you all see this from a couple of years ago?

Ta, Dok. I. Just. Can't. Even.
"Blood libel" and we all know where that leads.

"Patriots".
They keep using that word.

Origins of the Haitian pet-eating story: heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from another…

I should have scrolled down, you beat me to it. That song immediately came to mind while reading about.the Facebook posts.
I'm sure that this is definitely causing the Springfield Ohio folks to vote for Trump. /s
Seriously, if this is the best that Trump and Vance can come up with, Harris/Walz are going to win in a landslide.
There are a LOT of die hard Repubs. I hope you are right, but I'm not going to be complaisant until November 6th.
