What in the hell is this?! The chairman tweets, “Protect our ducks and kittens in Ohio” because he goes down some crazy rabbit hole, completely debunked that aliens are eating pets. My God, are you ok, Mr. Chairman? Because last year, for a very long time, you tweeted and promoted Kanye West as he was calling for genocide against the Jews and you kept it up. And now when we have victims coming here, you’re tweeting this nonsense.

I, I don’t know why you would do this. I hope you’re ok. I don’t know if the aliens who are eating your ducks are in the room with us right now. But, Mr. Chairman, this is a serious issue. These people have loved ones who have been lost. And you tweeted this.

It can stay on the menu only if each one is tortured for their liver.

The thing is, they aren't tortured when they are overfeed, so they become Foie gras. It's pretty well understood that they fuckin love being overfeed. Watch some of the videos, they don't mind at all. Doesn't really make it right but it's not torture anymore than it's torturing that much of the processed food humans eat has the same results when someone has low self control.

I don't eat Foie gras because I think it's grotesque but it's not torture.
