Vance saying "the pope should be careful when speaking in matters of theology" sounds like a threat to me. Is he actually confessing to murdering the last one?

watching these guys trying desperately to defend something so utterly inauthentic and blatantly and cynically staged will never get old lol

This is Rex. He found a missing child in 12 minutes on his first tracking mission. "He’s kind of a triple threat," his handler said. He's trained as a therapy dog, explosive detection canine, and missing person tracker. When the girl was safe, Rex shifted to comfort mode. 14/10 (IG: arapahoeso)
