‘They’ve destroyed the place’: Trump repeats racist, anti-immigrant lies

There are a lot of residents saying the claims are bullshit. A lot more of them than saying the claims are true. I too trust the residents who claim that Haitians are NOT eating pets. In fact the cats and dogs have reported that they are not being eaten by the Haitians. I trust them as well. Originally Posted by 1blackman1

I think I was initially full of shit, as the Haitians in Springfield probably can work because of special dispensations granted by the Feds. But if a person just had $250 a month to live on (because it's illegal for him to work) and he or she came from a culture where cats are considered by many to be a tasty meal, then I could see him eating a stray. And far from condemning that person, I'd say he's doing his best to cope with a fucked up system.

I grew up in a rural community. My uncles hunted squirrels and rabbits for food in winter. Some city slickers might view them as less than human for that. I sure don't.

This shit is so out of hand, that the Springfield Weathermen were told to refrain from saying "it's raining cats and dogs", in case the Haitians react by running into the street with knives and forks.

Haha! Hilarious, honestly. I was going to start calling you Das Kapital Lite because of some of your posts in other threads, but I won't.

They need to send them all back to Hatia! They’re primarily from hatia, right?

Tinker bell, the Easter bunny and the tooth fairy too?

There is nothing about your post, or your vacation of reality that remotely resembles truth, justice or the American way, Salty.

Give it a rest already.

... I thought you lads wanted to find out the actual

Haitians have done.

Cor! ... So much for Truth and Honesty and what-not.

So, yes, in a way, reckon THAT is like hunting.

... But for towne leaders to claim it's "not happening"
when the Residents claim that it IS - is all rather
telling. ... And now the towne leaders surely got
their collective teat in a wringer.
The call reports being released.

Still bullshit. No one was stealing cats and dogs and eating them. Even the initial "complaint" was shown to be false as the woman actually found her "missing" cat in her basement after she lied on her Haitian neighbor. Maybe this is all because republicans are stupid. Well actually that's not a maybe it's a - republicans are stupid. The fact that y’all continue to claim otherwise is not surprising but is very telling.

... And yet - that's just ONE complaint. ... There are others.
But don't let that cloud yer judgement. Such as the complaint
about the ducks and geese being taken from the park.

... Heard back on me invite... Trump will be visiting Springfield
in the next week or two. ... Was gonna mention this last evening
- but it was a bit too soon to "let the cat out of the bag"...
