The truth is in the narrative. People don't like change... Change that is imposed on them by the government or businesses for their own interests. 20000 Haitians have ended up in that city getting handouts from the government while they look for work. That's almost 20 percent of the population.

There are definitely culture clashes going on. Most rumors are based on truth. Whether it's 100 percent true is largely irrelevant. The relevant part of this is lost in your smugness, not mine.

A sayy that with full acknowledgement that Trump has a duty to get the facts right. I just don't hold him to that standard because we already know who he is. It doesn't change the fact that cities shouldn't have this kind of change pushed on them by corporations and government officials. It doesn't change the fact that ordinary people can see that our government focuses on other issues besides the American people living here.

It's a travesty that these stories get caught up in the absurdities and never the realities. I'll say it again: Dems are so smart.

Oh. Almost forgot. Lol.

Yes, thanks for confirming how [BLEEP] stupid and gullible you are. 

We are living in an age of supreme dis/misinformation but you are dumb enough to lick it right up from the palms of your fear mongering masters. 

I hope they give you a pat on the head and a scratch behind the ears.

BTW - since you are clearly uninformed as per usual the Haitian influx targeted that area due to demand for workers and have helped revive the struggling community.

I'm smug because you're a moron.

Go back and read my post again and attempt to comprehend sentence by sentence. 

I didn't assign the term disinformation to the article or the topic. You've conflated my statements. 

I said we live in an age of disinformation and misinformation.

So, in one post, you are saying I am repeating disinformation, even though I said specifically that a rumor is often based in truth. A rumor is something that spreads that is of doubtful truth. Based in truth does not mean it IS truth. When Hollywood says based on a true story, do you think that's 100% factual? No, because you're not stupid unless you're posting in the political section. I'm sorry you are so myopic in your thinking that you can't reasonably contextualize my text here. 

Then, when I ask you to show me the disinformation, you bold something you didn't understand and paste an article that doesn't disagree with any of my premises while LOLing your way right past the point that I was making in the first place: That you and your idiot comrades are too busy chasing the debunkable story that you're missing the narrative that's driving it. People don't believe their government is working for them and IT'S NOT! The rumor is irrelevant.

How you thought I was asking you to define disinformation is beyond me, but it's a waste of time to address that train wreck of a thought. Look, I even conceded that Trump shouldn't be repeating it, but that's not even good enough for you to avoid jerking yourself off all over this thread. 

The reality is Trump is a man of the people because he gets his news the same as the people. He saw in on the computer or TV. He feels the same sentiment as the people and repeats it. You can call that lying if you want, but it's more ignorance, and it's what I expect of the dude. I don't care because the problem IS the government. With Trump, you are going to get a very rich, but informed populist. With Kamala, you're going to get a polished liar who will get rich on the taxpayer dime by selling us down the river. The latter is FAR more offensive to me than the first (which is the actual takeaway, Marty).

Our government does not work for us, and you're too busy patting yourself on the back because you "proved" a rumor wasn't true. That's super helpful. The nation thanks you for your service. You're the real hero.
