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.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

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

Wouldn't work because alligators brains are too big to work for ICE.

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

If you have ever thought about what you would do during Nazi Germany, it is whatever you are doing now.

So the lizard people (republicans) are finally going to shed their 'human' skin and reveal themselves?

[–] renzhexiangjiao@piefed.blahaj.zone 22 points 18 hours ago

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.

Yeah but we saved Gaza! Only we didn't.

And a fraction of Earth's habitability for the power wasted.

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...

Hugo Boss did much better uniforms.

This was Hugo Bass, from the fish and wildlife dept.

This is shaping up to be Holocaust 2.0.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 hours ago

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.

Why are these alligators better identified than real ice

Now what did Homer Landscriby mean by this?
