Someone should name them all and register them as Republicans so they can vote. That is what the Left does.

Exactly.

Pythons will adapt to the northerly abundant food. Perhaps pythons will learn to migrate

It’s Florida. Pythons and gators.

When it hits the fan, any moment now, rabbit stew will be on the menu.
