      As is true for all Mammals, we nurture, care for, and protect our young. So I’m guessing that if we were Bears, ICE agents who separated children from their parents would have all been mauled by now.

      Mammals in general, and Bear behaviors in particular, are not political.

          Poe's law. I think it's harder to read irony these days.

          Pretty much. A) pointing out someone telling Dr. Tyson to not talk politics because they don’t agree. B) telling him to not talk about it aka “stick to science” unless it comes to climate change were, I assume, they don’t agree. Irony is hard now.

          Lol I understand bro. In order for the majority to understand irony or sarcasm it must be piled on pretty thick.. and it must be delivered in layman's terms.. which defeats the pupose.. notice the ones who 'get it' are friendlies. That says plenty. 😂

          Refering to ICE “separating” kids from their parents IS. Dont act like you arent refering to a political situation, most of your followers arent that dumb.

          It’s not a political situation. It’s humanitarian.
