That picture is disgusting and an insult to dog lovers.
Maybe, but I’m not looking at it that way. I’m looking at it as a typical political threat taken to an absurd level, as in:
“Cut the budget and the airplanes will be grounded.”
“Defund any aspect of Obamacare and the government will shut down. The military won’t be paid.”
Or, if you want to go international, how about the recent Syrian and Iranian threats, “If the US does anything to harm our interests, we’ll bomb Israel.”
