Um....you think that nutrition is a matter of human concern is being questioned? That's just weird.
 
An interesting excerpt from a book I've read called Legend-Tripping Online: Supernatural Folklore and the Search for Ong's Hat by Michael Kinsella:

One function of legends is to identify and channel the anxieties of folk groups. There are several documented cases in which communities shared legends targeting and stereotyping unwelcome immigrants. One such case emerged in 1980 when large numbers of South Asians from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos were relocated to Stockton, California. Legends spread through the community that the immigrants ate cats and dogs - a practice met with horror and revulsion by many. Florence E. Baer summarized one of these legends as follows: "A woman in North Stockton discovered that her expensive dog was missing; a boy in the neighborhood saw a Vietnamese family down the street eating the dog and reported the gruesome act to the owner; the dog's head and fur were subsequently found by the garbage collector." A variant of this legend was eventually published in the local newspaper, the Stockton Record, even without any evidence substantiating the claims. This had a significant impact on perceptions of the legend's veracity, however, and demonstrates how the politics of legend-telling can compromise journalistic ethics and news credibility. Shortly after the publication, in light of the growing public hostility directed toward the South Asian immigrants, or the "Vietnamese" as they were collectively called, a councilman demanded a city ordinance banning the eating of cats and dogs. The legends told by the Stockton community expressed their fear that the influx of outsiders would irrevocably change their way of life. Legend-telling became a means to exercise control over the situation and to encourage political action against the immigrants. Unfortunately, examples such as this are not uncommon, even today. Legends have repercussions, and xenophobia is alive and well in America; rumors and legends about immigrant groups are repeatedly told and retold, identifying them as deviants - criminals, satanists, or even terrorists.

This book was written in 2011, by the way.

Oh, wait. You're serious.

Speaking of "nuttery", you win.
 
I just read that Trump is going to Springfield. JFC!! This asswipe has no shame whatsoever. His team will find some local moran to parrot up his baseless, clueless, racist claims about Haitian immigrants and will just stir up more ****. He has no conscience, no guardrails, no filter other than his own narcissism. I hate him more every ******* day.

More 24-carat gold from Trump.

Three weeks ago he was using AI of Taylor Swift to encourage voters to vote for him.

Three weeks later... "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!"

Keep 'em coming, Donnie - that's probably another 200,000 voters just signed up to vote against you.

Elsewhere I said that he's probably discouraging his base with his behaving like a whining loser. This is not helping him.

Especially given his previous fake acceptance of her. Which really runs it in.

He disgusts me more every day because he keeps giving me reason to.
 
The news media is going nuts reporting shots were fired somewhere "in the vicinity" of where Trump was golfing. There are no reports of them being connected to Trump. This is Florida where hearing gunshots is not exactly unusual. There is supposed to be a statement soon. According to Fox, a man has been taken into custody. He had an AK 47 and a long-range rifle.

I find it hard to believe Trump imagined a world where Taylor Swift endorsed him. So the only reason I can think of why he has even mentioned Taylor Swift is that this gets him free publicity. Keeps him on the front page.

And now nobody is talking about the stupid stuff Trump said during and after the debate. Things that make you go, hmmmmm.
 
The Palm County sheriff said the man arrested did NOT have a gun when taken into custody.

Conflicting reports as usual. But Trump did announce that he "is safe" and that he'll "never give in, never surrender". So, start sending me MONEY.
 
FBI: AK 47 style rifle in bushes. Rifle barrel was seen shoved through fence of golf course. Unidentified man in custody, witness identified.
 
That's pretty wild. So far it seems like "Florida man" news .. and the shot were fired by secret service (MSNBC says). But they got him, he's alive, I'm sure will know more sooner or later, this time.

@realDonaldTrump

As President I will immediately end the migrant invasion of America. We will stop all migrant flights, end all illegal entries, terminate the Kamala phone app for smuggling illegals (CBP One App), revoke deportation immunity, suspend refugee resettlement, and return Kamala’s illegal migrants to their home countries (also known as remigration). I will save our cities and towns in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and all across America. #MAGA2024!
