Bizarre obsession? You mean watching and listening to the news where a citizen of Springfield spoke about the immigration problem in Springfield?
Nah, that's called paying attention to events.
Wow, you really bought into this fake news story that someone pulled from their backside.
Kamala's laughter is called, denial, or maybe she didn't even bother paying attention to events.
It's called: Laughing at a delusional comment made by a delusional individual.
That's the only response Trump's "they're eating the cats and the dogs" comment deserves. It's completely made up nonsense meant to demonize and marginalize migrants.
It clearly worked on his base. Look at you eating up the lies.
They only "fact-checked" Trump and didn't fact check Kamala's false statements. This is an example of bias.
Kamala didn't make any delusional claims. Trump made several.
-They're eating the cats and the dogs
-Democrats want to kill babies after they're born
-Democrats are giving transgender surgeries to school children and illegal immigrant prisoners
-Trump won the 2020 election
Those things are nutso delusions.
Show me anything Kamala said that came anywhere close to that level of delusional.
There are cons to international attention. But the national attention is good for Springfield. Before this attention, Springfield residents were already talking about how they should leave Springfield because of the threat to their well-being.
This poster just told you that as a results of this lie being spread by Vance, Trump and MAGA (including yourself), that Vance has already admitted he has made up, that this town has been getting bomb threats and your response is ... "but the national attention is good for Springfield."
Really? You think the "national attention" that Springfield is getting that includes bomb threats to their city, is a good thing?
Kamala's response to Springfield is "It's a crying shame," as she descends hook, line, and sinker down a racist rabbit hole with no concerns expressed on her part for the problems her and Biden's administration caused.
The claim isn't true.
It's made up.
Every leader, police chief, mayor, etc. in Springfield have said it's made up. It's not happening.
People aren't stealing and eating dogs and cats in Springfield, Ohio.
There are some issues regarding resources and housing in Springfield, but it's got absolutely nothing to do with anyone eating cats and dogs.
How do you think the Biden administration caused this?
You should stop using the word disinformation to describe others remarks while simultaneously disseminating debunked theories.
You are spreading disinformation about Haitian migrants.
Harris made claims that were known absolutely known to be false, but they didn't fact-check her. It wasn't simply irresponsible; it was bias.
Like what?
Did she said any delusional things like Trump did?
Plenty of residents in Springfield have come forward with similar stories, add them your blame list if you like. No way it helps Kamala win Ohio for her not to address those concerns. The bomb threats, according to the police, are from another country, which also doesn't help Kamala when you stop to think about it for an iota of a second.
No, they haven't. There has been ZERO confirmation from anyone in Springfield that Haitian migrants are stealing and eating their cats and dogs.
Let's think about this for a second. Do you think the town of Springfield would be receiving all these bomb threats if Vance and Trump didn't make this stupid claim about people eating "the cats and the dogs?" Think hard.
You need to reconsider your use of the word disinformation rather than pretending that everything you don't like to hear is disinformation. I'll try not to regard what you say as "garbage".
You need to stop spreading lies.
How about that?
Not a bad take. Or she is out of touch with what the nation is experiencing as a result of the immigration crisis.
The guy making delusional claims is the one who's out of touch with reality.
That's Trump in this case.
I wouldn't know, but it hardly matters if it is.
It is. Like, word for word.
I watched the debate. And the most obvious claim she wasn't fact-checked on was the Charlottesville fine nazi hoax. Did you see that?
He did say there were good people on both sides and he also told the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by."
He did also condemn the violence though. That's the part Kamala left out.
I don't see that as being anywhere near the level of the claims of Trump's that were fact checked that had zero basis in reality.
Crime rates are a close second on the fake-checks from the moderators.
You'll have to be more specific.
Meanwhile, more reports of cats being eaten, car crashs, residents harrassed, and the overloaded health care system in Springfield.
There are zero verified reports of cats being eaten. ZERO.
Residents are being harassed because of lies like this that you are helping to spread. You are contributing to the problem, not helping it.
The benefit of attention is that it places governments under pressure to attend to the needs of their residents. Tangible benefits currently include the $2.5 million dollars in healthcare resources that Springfield is receiving to help deal with their overloaded healthcare system.
Trump and Vance didn't have to invent anything. It was reported in the news. The news continues to report on it.
It was never reported in the news. Vance admitted to creating the story.
_______
The point here is that Trump, when he made his statement during the debate demonstrated that he's paying attention to the news and the needs of citizens.
What he showed was what we already know - he believes every single thing he reads on the internet. That he's unable to discern fact from fiction. That he is detached from reality.
That's true even if you think the cats of Springfield are perfectly safe. But Kamala in her scoffing laughter demonstrated that she isn't attentive to the needs of citizens; she prepared to dismiss concerns as outlandish delusion. In the long run, this helps Trump and hurts Kamala. And because Springfield does have an immigration problem, this ages well for Trump and not so well for Kamala. The fact check from ABC also doesn't age well for ABC, because, in the long run, it will stand as an unforgettable example of their bias for Kamala and against Trump in a Presidential debate.
There are some problems in Springfield, to be sure, but it's not with illegal immigrants. And it's not with illegal immigrants stealing and eating peoples' pets. It's more to do with resources.
Is Trump so stupid that he wasn't able to articulate the actual problems facing the people of Springfield and instead had to spew out some ludicrous story that J.D. Vance was spreading around that he couldn't even be bothered to fact check before telling it to the entire world and making himself look like a fool? You want that guy running the country? The guy that can't discern fact from fiction? Yikes.
