MODERATORS
Once my family and some friends went out to a Mexican restaurant in Houston. The next day one of my relatives couldn't find her expensive digital camera (this was in 2006 when average people still used digital cameras before smartphones). She claimed we were taking pictures with it at the restaurant. That wasn't true at all; we took no pictures. Everyone at the table but her didn't remember taking any pictures.
Soon after she calls the restaurant and starts yelling at the manager claiming that one of his employees stole the camera. She threatens to call the police and "border agents" because she assumes they're all "illegal" immigrants.
The next day we find her camera in its bag hanging on a chair in our apartment where she left it before we ever went to the restaurant. It was hidden under a her jacket. No apologies to the restaurant. 🙄
I wonder who that relative is voting for this year?...
(Assuming she's still alive)
And if you try to explain why they're so incredibly stupid, for instance, because their diet doesn't offer enough Niacin (Pellagra), or because they have a catastrophic hookworm infestation that causes developmental damage, they try to murder your scientists for 'insulting muh southern heritage!', instead of just adding supplements to their flour and wearing slippers outside.
You ok?
Grew up there, I think I would have gotten over it if the fuckers didn't try to follow me and destroy the rest of the country.
How would a police report have proven anything anyway? It simply shows that someone claimed it happened. And she probably wouldn't have come to that conclusion if she wasn't scared by the propaganda in the first place.
A police report would mark a diversion from the usual pattern of these things where Trump surrogates talk a big game about the massive conspiriacies against them (and therefore against You, the hypothetical American voter) to the media, but if they ever end up in front of a court or a police report or something where lying may have actual consequences they back off hard. How many times did we hear about all the mountains of evidence they had of voter fraud in 2020, and how many of the resulting court cases include those same lawyers specifically saying "we do not allege voter fraud" when the judge asks about it.
rumor /roo͞′mər/ noun
A piece of unverified information of uncertain origin usually spread by word of mouth. Unverified information received from another; hearsay. A flying or popular report; the common talk; hence, public fame; notoriety.
propaganda /prŏp″ə-găn′də/ noun
The systematic propagation of a doctrine or cause or of information reflecting the views and interests of those advocating such a doctrine or cause. Material disseminated by the advocates or opponents of a doctrine or cause. "wartime propaganda."
This wasn't a rumor. This was maliciously spread propaganda.
Time will tell whether this was the cat that killed MAGA, or just the cat that killed America.
Either way, we need a pic of the cat! The memes will be epic.
Edit: before the Schrödinger's cat jokes start, this timeline is looking more and more uncannily like the one in The Schrödinger's Cat trilogy by Robert A Wilson.
Those books any good? I need something new.
They're.... silly. Lots of counterculture references.
Sounds like even the cat couldn't stand being around her
That cat was obviously an impostor planted there by the deep state.
They hired that cat as a crisis actor and gave him a script!
Pretty soon President Wensley Dale‘s plan will be complete!
Has no one seen the late and great Bolt? Beautiful lightning bolt in his fur! They replaced him with a plant!
They're planting the dogs! They're planting the cats! They're planting the pets! They're ignoring the factual criminality of the Weird Oldie running for Prez! Don't look behind that election interference curtain!
Aha! That episode with the ferns! Obviously they planted the ferns!
I planted some lemongrass my ex gave and it’s doing quite well. I was afraid at first that the shock of being rehomed would kill it, but with enough time and love, it’s flourishing quite well.
Jesus fucking christ these people are dumb. What the actual fuck.
Pieces of shit
Yeah cats be that way
Not going to lie, I kind of wonder if Anna Kilgore named her cat Miss Sassy in honor of Lindsey Graham.
Stop letting your cats outside unsupervised you fucking dimwits.
Every time I see a "missing outdoor cat" sign in my neighborhood, I want you to know that I see it like putting out a "missing outdoor balloon" sign after releasing a balloon into the sky.
Something is "eating the cats" and it's the front fender of trucks, and the local predators.
BTB the above goes doubly for the leash-less dog people.
K, thanks for your input.
We'll file this opinion away with all the others.
People used to shirking their responsibilities are constantly 
at the inevitable negative outcomes of doing so.
It's pretty ironic that many of them are members of the GOP party who purportedly believe in "personal responsibility" as a governing principle.
lol
cats do be like that
