Because Republicans know that rage sells, and motivates the hateful and resentful. That's it. Period.

Rules (interactive)

That's it.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Just to be clear here, nothing has ever been pure or sacred. We're only told that as children.
You take that back, Peanut was pure and sacred!
I refuse. You're not my real mom!
"You ain't my mama! Your sister/cousin is, Darlene! Go back to the bar!"
Is...Is that a quote from a movie or something?
I think its more a comment about having the police resources to go kill some guys squirrel but not deal with other shit. But at the end of the day its one squirrel the Superbowl kills 4billion chickens just for wings.
Superb Owls kill squirrels too. Not just chickens.
Is it bad that I can't tell whether 4 billion chickens is an exaggeration?
Americans generally eat excessive amounts of meat.
Should I respond to this with a your mom joke? I feel like your post might need a your mom joke.
Are... are you... talking shit about bacon?!
I mean, I did not want to use mean words, hence why I said Americans. But after today I guess I don't have to be nice anymore. Fucking greasy lards!
Bacon is not meat.
Bacon is pure glory.
But I can see how you would make that mistake.
https://www.nationalchickencouncil.org/americans-to-eat-1-45-billion-chicken-wings-for-the-big-game/
according to the National chicken council (glad I get to say that), that isn't exaggeration.
Americans are eating 1.4 billion wings, and there are a few hundred million people all making individual grocery decisions; there's not some big super Bowl robot that goes around murdering chickens, regardless of how cool an episode of Aqua teen hunger Force that would be.
The fucking national chicken council. Whats the council president called? chief cock?
Walkiest Cock
I can't seem to find The National Chicken Council’s 2024 Wing Report to view how they counted a wing. The wing of a chicken consists of 2 muscle groups which are usually divided and sold as 'wings.' Each chicken would (usually) have 4 such wings; meaning it's only 362.5 million chickens. Even if they're counting whole wings it's only 725 million chickens. 4 billion does seem to be an exaggeration.
I feel so sad for that guy and his squirrel and raccoon friends.
Honestly I feel bad for the poor animals. But the guy? For 7 full years he couldn't be bothered to get the proper paperwork and licenses to own them? Didn't get them properly vaccinated and/or treated due to no paperwork. If he'd done right, this wouldn't have happened. But he's playing the victim when he's got the most blame on his shoulders.
~~I thought peanut the squirrel was political from the getgo. Granted the first I heard of his killing was from alt right pro cop propaganda (ironically) I did hear his owner was also vocally alt right and dressed the squirrel in some costumes that supported some of his views.~~ I could be wrong, do correct me if so
edit: I was wrong. alt right was unrelated, unless the lady that called was actually mad the owner said "Trans Rights" and kiwifarmsed the squirrel
I heard about it from penguinz0. He made a video about it. It was a sad story. He's definitly not alt right. He got shit on by the right for saying trans kids should be able to transition.
ok I just saw the cr1t1kaL video and did mroe research and it was the other way around? alt right fucks were upset about a homoerotic gent having a viral pet squirrel? but then championed the most evil cop event into a pro cop movement? this makes less sense every waking hour
Right there with you.
Some people are so empty they need crap like politics or reality TV to feel something.
And then there's the truly sad bunch that can't live without social media.
For those that missed... Yes I'm joking
