I'm so depressed about the midterms. I don't see Democrats winning a lot of key races.

It takes two people for a lie to succeed -- someone to tell the lie, and another person to agree to believe it.
So frustrating how hungry people are to believe this trash.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the litter box story. It is so depressing that anyone gave it life.

I don't follow Joe Rogan, but at some point I would think that people would begin to recognize sarcasm again and not go into full melt down mode over something that one day sounds stupid (and the next day is fully expected to be A OK). Really? People actually felt a need to question this? Too funny.

What really gets me is that these lies are started so casually (and with no proof, it’s all somebody told somebody) and then they’re continually repeated so often that they spiral and snowball to the point where it’s so far beyond ridiculous. And yet these gullible fools listening just keep right on eating it up and regurgitating it even further.
I mean, anybody with a brain is going to know that no school is going to install litter boxes for kids to use. How would that even work? Come on people. That’s just not going to happen. Half of the time the kids can’t manage to use the facilities properly without making a huge mess as it is, breaking soap and towel dispensers off the walls, wasting paper products, clogging sinks. And to play the devil’s advocate, once you start catering to the cat furries, what about dog furries? Fox or wolf furries? Dragon furries? None of those species even use a litter box, so then what? How do you accommodate them? 🤣 The whole thing is just stupid and I can’t believe so many people are that gullible.

Really? People actually felt a need to question this? Too funny. Are you saying Rogan was being sarcastic? Did he forget to tell the congressional candidate(s) who repeated the story in campaign speeches? ETA: at least 20 GOP candidates. www.nbcnews.com/tech/misinformation/urban-myth-litter-boxes-schools-became-gop-talking-point-rcna51439What about all the other stories that right-wingers have told about what's going on in public schools without any proof? Were those just sarcasm, too? Ha ha, got a teacher fired and several others received death threats, and nine area superintendents quit, sorry you couldn't take a joke. I would think at some point people would begin recognizing that they've been lied to, over and over again, by the podcast hosts and YouTubers they count on for "news" these days - not to mention the candidates they support - but so far that doesn't seem likely. leftturnonly , you have repeated the lie on this board that Democrats are in favor of elective abortion of a healthy fetus up until birth or even after birth. Was that also sarcasm?

It would be more believable to say the school put in litter boxes because the toilets haven't worked properly since the Clinton administration.

Really? People actually felt a need to question this? Too funny. Current Republican running for the US Senate in NH! New Hampshire Republican Senate candidate Don Bolduc is finishing the 2022 midterm campaign by tripling down on his false conspiracy that students at Pinkerton Academy are using litter boxes because they identify as cats.**" In an interview with I Heart Radio, Bolduc said that the school is allowing students to be animals, which has been called false by the Pinkerton Academy. Bolduc hasn't seen it with his own eyes, it's merely something he "heard" was happening, but has told the world about. When the school asked him to come to the school to see for himself, Bolduc refused. *** "It has come to our attention that at a recent event in Claremont Don Bolduc named Pinkerton in false claims suggesting that unhygienic, disturbing practices are taking place in our classrooms and spaces on campus," the school said in a statement Monday. "We want to assure our community that Mr. Bolduc's statements are entirely untrue." www.rawstory.com/don-buldoc-litter-boxes-lie/

In many cases it IS a matter of gullibility, but I think an overwhelming number want it to be true and love that it further energizes their craven base. They are all for any stories which they feel validate their hatred and alarmingly ignorant, tribalistic behavior.

He knew full well that there are more than enough idiots amongst the Trump base who would buy this tale hook, line and sinker. You and I both know that. It’s time to cut the bullshit.

I am so f’ing sick of and disgusted by his ads…and I don’t even live in his state. They are on all the time. Our local stations viewing area also includes NH, so many of the ads are geared toward NH voters. One of the latest poll results (although the accuracy is being disputed by many) have Bolduc at 48% and Maggie Hassan at 47%. That is very surprising and somewhat concerning.

Litter boxes in girls' bathrooms --- SERIOUS!!!!!!!! Biden claiming he spoke to the deceased-before-Joe-was-born doctor who "invented" insulin -- nothing to see here. Biden claiming that his son who died in the US from brain cancer died at war in Iraq --- nothing to see here. Biden bumbling and stumbling every time he's in public -- nothing to see here. Biden shutting down the Keystone Pipeline on DAY 1! and then being so obnoxious to the Saudis that they not only wouldn't help him import oil, they made it even harder so that now we have gone from being virtually energy self-sufficient to Americans praying they'll be able to keep their families warm this fast-approaching winter -- nothing to see here. Biden spending like an entire fleet of drunken sailors creating a recession with inflation unseen in many decades --- nothing to see here. Biden refusing to put up the remaining sections of "the wall" that were already there and ready to be installed and telling the world in a way that they have interpreted as an open invitation to walk right on in to our country, and then proclaiming that border patrol was openly whipping migrants crossing the river despite even the photographer stating that the photo taken out of context was misleading --- nothing to see here. Those are just the first few things that came to mind in the matter of about two minutes. It's not like that's the end of the list of performance failures the last couple of years. --- nothing to see there. Nope. We need to focus on Joe Rogan and a comment he made about litter boxes.

At least 20 Republicans in high level positions who were already promoting Qanon shit.

Nope. We need to focus on Joe Rogan and a comment he made about litter boxes. I deleted most of the nonsense you posted. You've been told repeatedly that the Keystone pipeline was never built, the cancellation had an insignificant impact on oil production, if it had any impact at all. Yet you keep repeating the same falsehood. Just like Joe Rogan and the Republican politicians repeating the same false story about litter boxes, to stir up anger at public schools and teachers. That's the danger in their lies. Just like the lies about the 2020 election. Repeat a lie enough times and people start to believe it. It's all part of the Republican scheme to control the narrative and control the truth/ falsehoods. It's a declaration of power to decide what reality is. And it's a dangerous slide towards authoritarianism. Not funny at all unless you have a twisted sense of humor.

Well I would dispute the accuracy and validity of many of the “performance failures” that you are attempting to sell, but that aside…I am not focusing on Joe Rogan’s comments but an actual political candidate doubling down and promoting this and the idiocy of this untruth. And then the number of his supporters that are accepting it as truth and promoting it 😳. I see that as a concerning situation but others may see it as a nothing to see situation, which really does scare me a bit. But that is just me and I can’t speak for anyone else.

😄. Thanks. We are also on the border of NY and Elise Stefanik’s district…so I also have to see all of her ads and the PAC ads that are pro Stefanik and anti Matt Castelli. Those are as bad if not worse than Bolduc’s. I will be happy to see the ads end…at least for a few months. 😉
Vermont seems so civil when our ads are viewed between the NH and NY ads. 😄

Well Jones is NOT being kind... Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones ranted on Thursday that Sandy Hook families and their attorneys "could put a gun" to his head and he "wouldn't back down one inch." Jones has been ordered to pay nearly $1 billion in damages to the families after being sued for defamation because he claimed that the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax. During his Thursday Infowars broadcast, Jones said that attorneys for the families had offered to drop the lawsuits against him if he would renounce the Second Amendment. The host contended on that plaintiffs in the cases against him were using the threat of financial ruin to silence him. "That's what the money grabbers in the Democratic Party, the groups that sued me in these kangaroo courts told me in mediation that, they said we want you to come out against the Second Amendment and we'll drop all this," he claimed. Jones laughed at the idea. "Oh, I can sit in your lap and then you'll be nice to me, you oily, gross lawyers," he said. "I am happier and more alive than I have ever been being under savage attack by the scum of the Earth." "You could put a gun to my head, you filth, and I wouldn't back down one inch," the conspiracy theorist added. www.rawstory.com/alex-jones-sandy-hook-lawsuit-2658594382/aj2hall
