I used to work with a guy born in the Philippines and a girl born in Vietnam, and they both ate dog pretty regularly growing up before moving to the States.
I was in the Philippines last month. Never saw dog being eaten. But, dear God, The dogs were everywhere. You couldn’t walk down the street without seeing a minimum of 10 stray dogs
 
Does no one in St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago's orbit not realize these AI images are actually ridiculing the insanity that is MAGA?
It's about turning out the vote at this point. In this particular instance, it means leering the meme bros have their fun till they get vested enough in the process that they actually get up lazy asses up off their parents couches and go vote. Unfortunately.
 

Bomb threats reported at multiple buildings in Springfield, Ohio​

The threat was sent via email "to multiple agencies and media outlets."


“… Though it is not yet known if they are connected, the threat comes after baseless rumors spread online in the wake of viral social media posts claiming Haitian migrants were abducting people's pets in Springfield order to eat them. The rumors were amplified by right-wing politicians, including former President Donald Trump and his running mate Sen. JD Vance. …”

My mother was born in the Philippines back when it was an American colony and lived there until she was 12. While I was growing up, she never once served us dog. When I was growing up our dog, Lassie--she was a collie--was hit by a car. My Dad scooped her up and we went to the vet's office. I thought we were going to get Lassie patched up. We weren't. Lassie was euthanized. When we got home, I personally dug the hole in the back yard under the apple tree while my older brother made a wooden cross and my older sister used her wood burning kit to write Lassie's name on the cross. No where in that series of events did my mother ever suggest that we eat Lassie.

Off topic, but what part of the Philippines? Wife’s dad was born in Cebu and she still has family there

She grew up in Tuguegarao, in Northern Luzon, which, at the time was a small town. How small, you say? Small enough that her parents went to a hospital in Apari, on the Northern coast of Luzon, for her birth. My mother grew up fluent in both English and Tagalog. Once when I was talking to my father's cousin--years after my mother died--who was an university English professor his entire professional life, with one four year exception, I told him my mother was fluent in Tagalog. He just sighed and said, "I wish I knew that when she was alive." Even among the most enlightened among them, the routine and societal dismissal of women by men of my father's generation was depressingly common. The one four year period when this man was not a student or English professor, was WW2, when he was (a) a student at the Oriental Language Institute at Colorado State University and (b) a translator of intercepted and decoded Japanese radio traffic. First time I ever played the game "Dictionary" was with this guy. He won.
 
Trump won’t drop the lie and tries to spin it into a broader anti-immigrant campaign story:

He's really going all in on the dogs and cats being eaten thing.
Everything about Trump is all-in.

His supporters can't admit that he's a disaster because they went all-in supporting him. They knew what they were doing.

He can't admit a mistake, because that means he's fallible, and once he backtracks on one claim, it casts all his other BS into doubt. He's all-in with his lies.
 


I guess JD Vance and I agree about something - a steady flow of low-wage immigrants has been critical to making America the most prosperous country in the world.
 


From one of the comments:

“They’re eating the dog!
They’re eating the cat!
I’m senile, old, ugly and fat!

The sharks are coming!
Windmills cause cancer!
Wife number three
was a Go-Go dancer!

The debate was rigged!
The election’s a scam!
People stopped eating bacon and ham!”
 
Doing a story on CNN now about how this is all Laura Loomer’s fault and how Republicans are aghast to find that MTG is the voice of reason in the harm of having Loomer in Trump’s inner circle — he took her to official 9/11 memorials even though she is a 9/11 denialist (she has previously claimed it was some sort of Jewish deep state conspiracy or some shit).

Just wanted to add that I find it absurd to blame Lionel for Trump’s behavior. Doesn’t he have co trip over who he associates with and what he posts and what he says? Maybe this is an attempt by his would-be handlers to try to divorce him from this mess by pushing Loomer out of his inner circle and blame her for the entire episode?
