It's kinda amazing that our political discourse has gotten to the point where people will double down on anything. I feel like if a Republican presidential candidate got caught molesting a child the next big push from the party would be lowering age of consent.
See, now I was to an extent kidding, but if you go back to /all there's an article right there that I'd almost be tempted to say was poor timing on my part.
How many non-secret service people have been bitten by Commander? If the answer is zero, what do these secret service people do to antagonise Commander?
It's not so much about the puppies. It's killing anything that doesn't respect your authority. It could be a puppy, a kitten, a rabbit, a minority, anything...the important thing is that your unearned status is protected through fear and force.
Republicans are now the pro-dog killing party lol. If there's one thing you can depend on Republicans to do, it's make the dumbest choice imaginable in any given situation.
And then double down on those choices. Their play book seems to consist of:
Doing something awful
Getting callled out and immediately doubling down on their awful choice
Attempt to re-frame said choice as their toughness that "snowflakes" couldn't understand
Then finally to just embrace the fact that they and their followers are just worthless people with very limited morals. Somehow this is also viewed as strength to them.
I mean, by all accounts, Commander is a problem and biting staff repeatedly wouldn't fly anywhere but the White House, but the answer isn't shooting him in the backyard. She's a fucking psychopath. I shouldn't be surprised that she's decided to double down on dog murderer as a good quality.
David Brooks and the rest of the NYT editorial board will be totally behind puppy murder in a week, and I'll have to hear my liberal friends both sides it...
