    That was my take away from this and the debate in general. Kamala had no trouble prodding Trump to do exactly as she wanted. Trump is so easily manipulated. It's exactly what our adversaries see in him and why he's into Orban, Putin, Kim, etc. Epitomy of useful idiot.

    Your racism is as disgusting as the massacre of Haitians at the hands of Rafael Trujillo. And, since you claim to be an expert in Haitian culture (though from reading above I am not sure I have ever read anything from someone less knowledgeable) you probably understood why Haitians disliked the Dominicans. At the same time, I definitely understand why you would side with the Dominicans given the like ideologies of your master and the past leadership of the Dominican Republic.

    Don't know if this has been posted already, but we now know more about the picture of the dark-skinned guy carrying two geese in Ohio. The geese were hit by a car. He may have been taking them home (or giving them a burial, for all we know), which is not illegal. There is no evidence that he was from Haiti or even an immigrant.

    Explanation finally revealed for viral image of man holding geese that fueled bizarre pet-eating claims in Ohio

    I went to school at UF with a girl from Haiti. She was apparently the daughter or niece of one of the ruling politicians in her country. Super nice, studied hard, dressed well for a college student. No voodoo or cat-eating.

    Trump lies, MAGA believes....an embarrassingly pathetic cycle that needs to be broken.

    Ultra conservative CATO institute evaluation of Haitian immigrants while Trump was president:

    https://www.cato.org/blog/haitians-assimilate-well-united-states

    But there is no reason to oppose Haitian immigration. Despite extreme challenges, Haitians integrate well into the U.S. economy and society. Across numerous economic and social measures, Haitians and their U.S. descendants contribute to and prosper in their new country.

    JD Vance admits that he made up the story to attack immigrants, resulting in bomb threats, school closures, etc. What a scumbag.

    Now if his orange master would just admit the same, we might be getting somewhere!

    Makes no sense, why not just talk about real cases of Americans suffering? … so that you don’t look like a liar, and make your boss look like a stupid sucker during the debate for repeating it?

    BTW, everything I’ve heard about Haitians is that they make reliable employees, are loyal to their companies, and work their asses off to try to get ahead….

    Because if he simply said "Wow, housing prices are going up in Springfield, Ohio" it wouldn't demonize Haitians nearly as much as "they're eating the pets!" ... "they're spreading disease!"
    And the spiel is to demonize a group of people so "Vote for me, and I'll GET them for you!"
    Same old playbook.

    Trump was asked by a reporter yesterday and he would not condemn bomb threats.

    Think about that for a minute. Any presidential candidate who doesn't decry bomb threats should be polling at zero.
