Republicans being what they are, especially Magas, I can see those assholes deliberately going out and shooting dogs to prove whatever they think is the point.
Ugh.

She probably understands that Trump likes people who have no conscience and no qualms about doing harm if they think it's necessary. But there are also GOPers who love dogs and could be put off by this disgusting behavior.

(42,041 posts)And I fully understand rural life includes tough choices.
Its just that republicans have invested so much of themselves in Maga, in Trump, in toughness that I feel strongly there will be at least a few dead dog stories.
Practically, the shelters for dogs are full. And dogs get euthanized every day. Thats not in question. It justMaga seems to want to differentiate and define itself almost constantly, and all kinds of behavior gets incorporated into it.
Ugh. Just gross.
I hope to be wrong

(10,386 posts)"Donald Trump hates dogs. Here's what that tells us about him"
"In Trumps tiny mind, dogs are venal, treacherous creatures. Vanity Fair suggested, 'To the president, dogs are capable of many things, none of which are particularly dog-like. Begging for money, for example. Getting dumped. Feeling ungrateful... Trump never compared anything to a dog that draws on how the animal famously is. Its never Hes loyal like a dog... The creatures have never done much good in the Trumpian universe.'"
'Donald was not a dog fan,' ex-wife Ivana confirmed in her memoir Raising Trump, recalling his hostility to her poodle, Chappy, who would 'bark at him territorially.' Ivana never understood Trumps hostility to dogs. 'How can you not love a dog that acts like hes won the lottery for life just because he sees you walk through the door?' she wondered."

(12,168 posts)She is unapologetic, however:
We love animals, she said, but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm. Sadly, we just had to put down three horses a few weeks ago that had been in our family for 25 years.
The governor also promised more real, honest and politically incorrect stories thatll have the media gasping.
But in political and media circles, most gasps were of horror alongside mourning for Cricket and the unnamed goat.
