Funny how the right suddenly cares about animals when they have Kristi Noem shooting dogs, and RFK jr. Killing bears.

Thats too straight forward. On good onion articles youre the one who has to make the connection.

Hard times is a little too punk to give up on dunking on cops just to score points on some shit heel rep.

Headline reminds me of the Uvalde cops trying to stop the mom from going in to rescue her kids while they sat scared,

"Ma'am, ma'am! Leave them alone so I can not go in to rescue them, ma'am!!!"

Uvalde was certainly a clusterfuck, but the "cops scared" narrative isn't quite the truth, much more to it.

Don't just link dump without context of your claim please. Say what you mean to say, and then people can decide if they want to invest time to watch your linked video.

"Isn't quite" is vague, what do you mean exactly?

At some point you also got to take the time to really dive into the subject you’re talking about though :(

Was he going to shoot the dogs or the immigrants?

[–] Shave_MyBeever@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Whichever one made the 911 call

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

And their neighbor just because.
