If you have a screenshot of a US politician or leader blaming the left, or declaring some war, or anything before we knew who the shooter was, please post in the comments. We will need to keep these

No contento con su "abrigo" de polen, este sírfido apoya una pata delantera justo en el estigma de una flor de Drimia, como si quisiera asegurar la faena. Esto sí que es polinización manual...
