Is the eating of dogs and cats in Springfield OH still a national emergency? Or were those people’s lives upended just so Donald Trump could demagogue his way back into the White House?

There’s no point continuing the lie after it helped win the election. If asked, he’ll say they’re still doing it, but everyone has already moved on.
And yes, those people were collateral damage on Trumps charge to power. He doesn’t care about them, and clearly neither. Does the media.
Oh, I don’t know… I’m still worried about the Venezuelan gangs that are taking over the whole town of Aurora Colorado and the millions of migrants sent here from insane asylums.
They ceased being a national emergency around the same time the immigrant caravans were no longer storming the border, and Donald broke his campaign promise to bring down the cost of grocery, eggs, and bacon
'They're eating the cats and dogs' was a much more effective and appealing campaign slogan than 'I want to give you $25K to buy a home' in an apathetic and bigoted land.
Ironic how those who self-profile themselves as; constitutionalist, patriotic, Christian, MAGA loving bad assess have proven to be the most gullible, pliable and useful idiots of all.
Eating cats and dogs was a repeat of the 2020 migrant caravan. This time it worked because “if your lie is big enough and you repeat it often enough, people will believe you”.
Per usual, he was making it up. In addition to making up all the crap about how a crime rate which is going down is out of control and that migrants are taking our jobs. It’s all bullshit. What a jerk.
After Trump deports the immigrant farm workers, tariffs imported food, and reduces funding for food stamps we'll go from the immigrants eating dogs and cats to all the poor doing so just to survive. Hide your pets!
You only have to fool most of the people for election time enough to criminally maintain rule of all of the people all of the time if you’re a well organized fascist team with enough violence and a compliant population. #EndGenocideApartheidEugenicsNow
His blowviating is just too exhausting! We honestly should just stop giving him airspace. It’s one thing to stay informed and vigilant. It’s quite another to feed that beast. Let’s stay informed, vigilant and in action - Though every so often, it does feel good to point out the obvious 😉
Haven’t heard a peep about this since the election, like grocery and gas prices. Americans fell for it all hook line and sinker. Or maybe they knew and just needed an excuse to justify their bigotry.
It was just a way for the average Trump voter to latch on to their immigrant hatred by caricaturing them as pet eaters. Don knows his audience, and he knows he has to provide inside jokes to foster their animus while providing deniability for him and them later.
@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social the emergency has been postponed to August 2026. I hear dog eating occurs onthe same calendar as the national elections. Who knew?
Since I was born in the city hospital there in Springfield Ohio... there never were any people eating cats and dogs. But I have a feeling, there will be some poor elderly folks forced to eat dog and cat food now that Trump is back in office.
They won't be able to eat and buy medication when they destroy the health care for over 34 million Americans when Trump kills the Affordable Care Act. I hope those poor souls find a generous maga family member to pay for their medicine. They did this and will pay for it too.
Just part of the social media rhetoric designed for confirmation bias and amygdala jabbing in service to Trump's absolute fire hose of lies and BS. Doesn't say much good about the peeps who believe this & voted for him.
You are so cynical (pun intended). Those people have since then either mended their ways or left to get back to their shithole countries. So Trump solved the problem.
"It was never about you — and now he doesn't need you anymore — it was always about him”.
Even as Trump craters the economy while lining his and his buddies pockets — the MAGA faithful will blame Biden, (as will Trump), instead of admitting they got conned by a felon psychopath.
Trump is a grifter extraordinaire. He is able to tap into and exploit, for his own nefarious purposes, the glaring contradiction within the American psyche. The touted myth of America’s strength through domination and rugged individualism are juxtaposed with constant panic and fear of ‘other’.
So where is the “ PUSHBACK “ ? The “ News “ don’t want to cover it ? Or the caravans ? Or the school sex charges?
You still don’t get it ? The “ news “ is no more it died in the 2016 election. We need a new definition for news and propaganda.
Honestly, they are just white supremacist and assholes. This town needed these people and they brought them to their town and they were not eating cats and dogs. It was a bunch of bullshit and still is and they still need them so I really hope they do not go through with that shit.
it joins the list of burning campaign issues that didn't matter after the election--who remembers Jeremiah Wright or Bill Ayers from 2008? Hillary's emails were central issue in 2016 of course, but then trump took classified documents home with him and it no longer mattered.
Muslim Obama’s radical Christian pastor? Oh I do! I also remember Benghazi and how the republicans almost proved Hillary was guilty, they just needed one more hearing!
I believe this started when a woman in Canton, Ohio was seem stomping and eating a cat on the sidewalk. When police arrived they found blood on her shoes and fur on her lips. She received 12 months. She is not an immigrant nor Haitian
Yes they were just pawns in his scheme. Many Haitians have already left Springfield because of the fear of deportation. Trump said day 1 Springfield immigrants were the first ones to go. As a result, the remaining Haitians’ businesses are struggling, and they are also thinking of leaving.
2/ I liked how Anthony Davis of Five Minute News chalked it up to being the responsibility of the press ... if Trump had been in the UK, he would have been laughed out of politics the day he came down the ridiculous golden elevator! I'm saying HELL NO to being the 51st state! #theresistance
That happened using Trump tactics. Lying about everything and instilling fear about immigrants. Farage learned from the master and people here fell for it!
Hi Sarah, Merry Christmas from Canada 🇨🇦 ! No longer a National emergency apparently 🙄 such BS! Trump should be criminally charged for the damage done to that community!! Government should bring in legislation to fine / somehow charge Trump for his absolute, downright lies. /1
Remember Trump made that statement as result of VP elect Vance and his billionaire Theil, although, suspect the real ghost President Muskrat trained him to repeat story.
Gee, Sarah, that’s a tough one. “Was The Felon lying to get elected???” Me thinks that The Felon does and would lie about anything & everything in order to gain power, attention and adulation.

I was told back in 2010 that the ACA would mandate death panels!
Conservatives, "conserving."
Option B
I wonder why? 🤔
No problems.
was he referring to the dogs and cats?
They didn't want the "bad" Haitians practicing voodoo you know.

Apparently, 77 million Americans meet the standard of being utterly stupid.
Ok, I’m done; it was absolutely 100% the latter!!! 🙄

Hungry Ohio Haitians need to head over to Akron or Toledo. Preferably in a caravan. Lots of critters are still there.
A sitting US Senator deliberately put the safety of his own constituents in danger, and there were no consequences for him.

And nearly half of Latino and Asian voters were okay with an immigrant-bashing campaign as long they saw it as targeting other people and not them.
And the answer is yes. Also he’s probably going to deport them all.
It will become an issue out of nowhere in about September 2026.
