I know nothing of Harris, much less that she ever got weed. This one is over my head, I'll admit.

What's the point in spamming the whole thread? I don't get it.

Can you explain this? I don't recognise these people. Loving many of your recent posts. I LOLed so hard at the pregnant AOC mom one my cat got scared.

For real! Damn I hate the TSA.

If women in burkas really aren't allowed to be searched, then that's absurd and dangerous. Is that actually true?

I googled it and what I found suggests that they are allowed to request private screenings with women TSA agents, but that they are not exempt from searching. It seems that meme has caused a lot of confusion (which is why I dislike memes sometimes, they're great misinformation vehicles - for example the AOC memes above that make her appear to have said insanely stupid things. There are ones making Trump appear to have said things he didn't also).

I like this one making fun of misinformation quote fake memes:

I didn't realize there was a quota system in place on how many posts per day was appropriate. Sorry if I took someone else's share of the day's meme allotment.

Bottom right is Dr. Ford, brought in to accuse SCOTUS nominee Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her 30y ago at a high school party. Media ran with it, the left was outraged (to include plenty of ineffective shouting at the hearings), though no evidence was ever found that the event happened (her witnesses denied it happened), much less that if it happened it was Kavanaugh who did it. Many people still believe Kavanaugh did it despite a lack of anything to support the accusation.

Top is a Native American who claimed he was peacefully rallying when some white HS tourist kid in a MAGA hat started harassing him with racial slurs. Again, media picked it up and ran, and many on the left were outraged, some to the point of tweeting out for the kids names and addresses to be doxxed so they could be publicly harassed - one teacher even provided info on a kid, but it turned out to be the wrong kid. Video evidence later showed the Native American was being harassed by racist remarks from some Black descendants of Israel or something, and that the Native American WENT TO the innocent white kids waiting for their bus and got in THEIR face as if to provoke them (not even the people who were, in fact harassing him). Video also showed the kids had great restraint in doing NOTHING, and had done NOTHING to invite the confrontation. No retraction from the left who called for their doxxing. There is a lawyer who has picked it up and is seeking to sue for slander the media and left who were after these innocent kids. Turns out the Native American had a history of poor behaviour, and this was one chance to get national attention with a false accusation. TBH, I thought we'd have had a thread here, but I can't find it.

Bottom left is Jussie Smollett, who has a thread going here where he claimed to be attacked by two white guys in MAGA hats the middle of late night Chicago, where they poured bleach on him and called him homophobic and racial slurs. Thus far, the closest the police have come is two Nigerian brothers, friends of Smollett, who seem to have bought the rope at Ace hardware, and absolutely no evidence to support Smollett's claims. This one is still under investigation, but no evidence as yet, and the charge of filing a false report is as likely as finding two white perps. Again, media ran with it and the left tweeted outrage about the attack, meanwhile rational minds wait for facts before reacting with feelings.

Point of the meme is these three created great emotional outrage at being wronged by Trump, Trump supporters, or in one case a Trump nominee. None of them were proven to be true (again Smollett's situation is still being investigated). The media will run with a false allegation before finding the facts, and the left will jump behind those headlines with emotional outrage. Facts may come later, and if they counter the accusations, there is no apology or retraction, we just move on to the next fabricated outrage.
