    What was her plan here?

    1. Neglect and fail to train a puppy you intend to turn into a hunting dog for clout because you think hunting as a hobby will help your political career

    2. Puppy kills neighbour's pets because it was neglected and trained poorly

    3. Put down said puppy because this might make you look bad

    4. Admit that you put down said puppy, and how it made your daughter sad because she bonded with said puppy, in a weird "oh I can make hard choices if I need to" sort of way

    5. Uhh, crashing this plane with no survivors?

    Seriously, what was the intended outcome?

      Not a single Republican finds this relatable ether. The former communications director for the Trump campaign was like "Dogs are a gift from God." Every article I've seen has quotes from Republicans on how its never the dogs fault, just the owner. Its wild lol. I've never seen them eat their own like this. It was clearly a bridge to far. No one is saying having to old yeller a dog is just a normal part of life. And she did it in front of a construction crew, didn't even do it on her own property or in private.

        Holy shit. She did it infront of people? Every single detail I hear about this makes it even worse. There isn't a single mitigating circumstance

          Yes! Totally random people. The dog got no kills on its hunt, was probably seeking the reward of a good hunt, killed chickens after being let out as this local place they stopped at so she killed it in front of a construction crew that happen to be there.

          In her book she said she hated the dog.

            There is a flat 0% chance she sees the working class as people. Witnesses shouldn't have been workers.

          She killed a goat too because she didn't like it.

            Goats are actually a lot like dogs, temprament wise, so I guess this tracks…but damn, talk about a psycho who should be nowhere near a firearm.

          No, no. I am psychotic (diagnosed with a disorder that consists of psychotic symptoms) and I would not do this. Do not mistake "evil" for "mentally ill."

        Given how she talked about it, that is absolutely the case.

    I feel like I'm losing my fucking marbles with the projecting the usa does onto other countries. We are literally whatever the fuck Orwell was writing about in 1984 but no bad thing only happen in other country. Out of touch fascist politicians murder kittens? Only in North Korea.

      But when you state that the US does same or worse you get slapped with the big ol' "but that's whataboutism!"
