So, she's like Santos, but an animal murderer?
I get decisions on farms can be tough/unpleasant with respect to other animals, but her descriptions of what happened just seem lazy.
Agreed. I'm willing to allow that the dog was probably never going to be a skilled hunting dog, though I don't trust her to have determined that. It may even have been dangerous, though I rather doubt that had to be its destiny, and, again, we have some credibility issues with our decider.
There are just so many layers between a nippy, excitable working dog that's struggling with the (likely inadequate) training, and shooting it in the head in front of people. Then the goat thing confirms that she isn't isn't some sort of calm and skillful rural badass; she just likes the power inherent in hurting things that don't do what you want them do.
Maybe most of our politicians are a bit sociopathic, but for fuck's sake can we please elect the ones that are more skillful at masking and methodically figuring out what the emotionally functioning humans want them to act like? It's cynical, and a depressing level of low expectations, but that used to be the bar.
Hopefully the animal stories were fake too and no animals were harmed in the making of her downfall.
Yes, I'm sure they were instead taken to a nice farm upstate! (No one tell them. Let's let one person have a peaceful life.)
(I can see inside these you know)
(Well, poop. I tried to keep you safe.)
The more stupid and contrived it all sounds, the more apt she seems to be for the VP position on the orange ticket.
Yeah, she's still in the running for VP.
Yep, the conservative shows have had minor outrage at this, but the Trump voters will go right along with it, if not praise her right on down to the ballot box.
Santos is funny as fuck. He has actual charisma, even if it's insane.
She has real boobs though, which matters more to Republicans
Oh, that explains Trump! I finally understand. Thanks!
