I'd pay money to watch an ICE agent try to put a hat on an alligator

POPCORN! GET'CHER POPCORN HERE! CAN'T WATCH A FASCIST MEET HIS END WITHOUT DELICIOUS BUTTERY SALTY POPCORN!

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".

Photo made with AI, and that's not Alligator Intelligence.

They also aren't ashamed or scared to show their faces.

well that's an insult to the alligators. I doubt they want to have anything to do with those nazis

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

Now what did Homer Landscriby mean by this?

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...
