(1,654 posts)30. Never trust a president without a pet.
Not meant to be funny. I could see a reason not to - severe allergy or something. But Trump in all his life apparently never had a pet. Never shared your life and your heart with another species. I'm pretty sure if you can't expand your heart and soul to encompass an animal where you develop a co-dependency, you can't handle the responsibility of leading a state or country or whatever. And I don't mean somebody who has a hunting dog or something just for hunting but ignores them most of the time or a person who has a pet but goes on vacation without even making arrangements for somebody to come and feed them and walk them and give them some companionship.

To be brutally honest, the Bidens are full of more love and compassion than I would have expected...

It is so nice and refreshing to see some normalcy and kindness back in the White House after four

It brought tears to my eyes. It was just so heartfelt, sincere, and caring.
