I can’t believe they can continue to lie and not be held accountable

[AOT_HxH]

We are in the "it's not happening" stage. After the election, we will be in the "it is happening and here's why it's a good thing" stage.

[CLANCY]

Why would someone lie about their pet being eaten?

[noahloftus]

Notice how they silenced him at the end.

Trump, JD Vance, RFK Jr., Tulsi team 2024 💯💯 🙏🙏

[phatoney]

The absence of evidence doesn’t equate the evidence of absence

[skipfluck]

So if the city Manger is not seeing it, ‘ it’s not happing. 😂

A women in Ohio just got arrested for this. Idk if she’s American or not.
However I will also say I grew up in elementary school in a neighborhood that had 4 families living in 2 houses that were migrants. And they did some absolutely horrific things to animals. Including using a kittens head as a soccer ball and going down to the creek to “blow up” frogs with straws and the list goes on. It was horrible.
And I’m not in anyway saying that all migrants are like that I’m just saying it’s not completely out of the realm of possibility considering other outrageous and horrible things that have been committed by SPECIFIC GROUPS (I repeat SPECIFIC GROUPS) of migrants.
Edit: we moved out of the suburbs after so many events and not all events had to do with them specifically

Citizens with first hand accounts and police body cam should be all the evidence they need.

[sarag]

spoiler alert: he then admits he was lying. That is the dictionary definition of defamatory claims. I hope the Haitian community sues the shit out of him

[Thatguy]

This is from a Hatian article. Do Haitians eat other types of animals?
Yes. Haitians eat cows, goats, sheep, chickens, pork, etc., but cat meat is a delicacy that many from the countryside simply can't resist.

Look...

...having a Reveyon without a cat is just like celebrating Thanksgiving without a turkey. Unless you are a vegetarian, some just have to have it.

Why? Well, again, it's an old tradition.

[russk]

We all love our pets but we also love the freedoms that Trump and Vance are determined to take away.
Vance has supported a nationwide abortion ban and even criticized exceptions for rape and incest. He actually said,
“Two wrongs don’t make a right.”
He has called Social Security and Medicare “the biggest roadblocks to real fiscal sanity.”
He said women should stay in violent marriages.

[danielallenjones]

Responsibility as a candidate to not promote false information? Kind of like "Jan 6", "Project 2025", "Very fine people on both sides", etc.

[mynameisbetty]

There’s literally people in community meetings complaining about it lol

[Spoolingsnail]

“I saw Bigfoot” comment thought she won the entire argument

[cookinitmax]

What she should be asking is do we even have a President if so where is he and why isn’t he showing his face and is this normal for him not to be around .

[ElizabethDowns-qkzy]

First: These people should not be here
Second: We should be asking how are the citizens doing
Third: There are over 200 countries around the world the eating dog is a meal
Four: No one should be making 911 calls
Five: If there eating all the ducks and geese now and haven't gone to cats and dogs....what do you think they will go to once the duck and geese are gone

[timothycarson]

The real issue is why have 20000 immigrants been bussed in? That is just wrong

[FusionDeveloper]

Now, The Liars are saying "It was just a meme joke so that people would listen to us".
Great, that's who I want to vote for, liars who crave attention above honesty and above the safety of our country.

That same story was started back when Vietnam War ended and the Vietnamese were brought into America. The same story about them began but it got squashed quickly. Reporters are different as are some politicians. A story begins and its spread like wildfire by media and people and political figures and no one does anything to squash it. But if anything surprises me is to hear JD does not seem to care if its a truth or a lie. I prefer people who are take charge people on what is right and wrong to do in situations especially if you are part of making decisions for countries. Truth and lies are important.
