159. You stole my line!

You really crack me up. A screen capture from a state of Virginia website, which I PROVED came from that website = "carrying water for some of the most evil interests out there".

Here it is again, just cuz you ain't gonna run away from it:

https://arr.va-vdacs.com/cgi-bin/Vdacs_search.cgi?link_select=facility&form=fac_select&fac_num=157&year=2010

Meanwhile when faced with the PROOF that PETA slaughters thousands of pets each year, some of them evidently stolen, you still think PETA isn't evil. If this wasn't enough, they just teamed up this year with serial torturer Arpaio.

So you might want to look in the mirror and figure out whose water you're carrying.
