The war on contraception just got serious

I had no idea intra-uterine devices were so dangerous.

They are certainly more common than IEDs in the US.

I think that's part of the joke. Texas and birth control bullshit.

Uvalde cops be like “if we’d only had that, we could have just driven off”

Hundred percent that thing shows up at high school football games to wild cheers

Oh that’s an easy one - see the southern people of Texas need something like this so when they try to over throw the countries leaders and turn it into a fascist hell hole, they have an easier time

I propose we buy a few, mount machine guns on them, and paint them in rainbow pride colours just to screw with the "liberals are weak sissies boohoo" nonsense. We gotta have artillery too lol. But, ya know, use it to protect human rights rather than harassing innocent civilians like those pigs...

Let's mount T-shirt cannons and confetti cannons to it. All LGBTQIA friendly T-shirts and rainbow confetti.

Nah, live ammo will be just fine.

Why not both? There's no slaughter like a festive slaughter.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Can't spell slaughter without laughter

That's a MUCH BETTER use of Tax Dollars then Free School Lunches!

What makes this even stupider is the way they are pointing at it. Like we can't see the giant assault vehicle

Needs more red circle.

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

It's Prosper, TX. The police need this for enforcing the Family Guy skin color chart.

Protect and serve corporate and billionaire interests.

Brown people.

Holy shit why would you ever need this for CIVILIANS. What a waste of money

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

You see, this will protect the babies.

I thought this was ridiculous so i read a bit about it. There's a program - 1033-Defense Logistics Agency Disposition Mission. When the military has equipment that's outdated or no longer needed, they give it to other agencies. Prosper PD said they used this for some high water rescues during the storms last week.

I'd love to see video.

Mad max fury road is what they need it for, obviously.

It's like two goofballs posing next to a Starship Troopers prop

It’s a compensatory & direct correlation relevant to the average size of their crooked, shriveled little pud-like pee-pees.
