But my dog stayed up all night making a No Cats sign.
your dog has no idea what a protest or a king is, but he will be shot the moment something goes sideways, if you must be daft like this do it with your own life

Please, don't bring your dog. Please. I don't care how good your dog is, please don't bring it just in case something goes sideways.

Maybe the Republican leaders think paid actors create all the trouble because, if they were real Republicans who were protesting all of these things for all of these years, surely they would have held their leaders accountable for it at some point.
