          They did say they’d pay so presumably there’d be some production value to the affair. I’m seeing a Roman theme, along the lines of “Christians to the lions”.

          Still. Both Lupo and I would pay money to see them try and put a hat on a gator.

      So predatory, stealthy until they strike, pretty brainless, mostly instinct driven, fierce to brutal, dangerous, opportunistic to the point they would eat their own kind if convenient, unpredictable and most importantly - famously resistant to change or growth. Seems oddly self aware…

      A fraction of your tax dollars went to finding and paying the employee who would ultimately create this image on the clock.

      Let’s say hypothetically that these detention centers actually were humane and actually needed. They’re not, they’re concentration camps and just a precursor to death camps, but let’s pretend for a second that all that is well, these are just nice facilities for immigrants to wait until they go back to their vacation spot…

      Even with that, this fucking oist is still disgusting and insane, and it comes from a government account.
