Can’t we mourn the loss of a furry friend without bringing up immigration? I have lost so much faith in humanity. Nothing is pure and sacred anymore.

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

      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
