politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I don't understand. Do you normally treat dogs poorly?
edit: if you downvote these comments you should at least post a comment or send me a DM so I can have a name to block. We won't ever have to interact again. Or better yet, just block me.
I don't get it. There is sooo much bullshit that all these fuckers do that is morally abhorrent, disgusting, and all around gross... How is everyone supposed to keep up with all of it?
I too normally think of treating doggos the best, I think that's a good human reaction to have. And that phrase was a nasty one that humans have used for quite awhile, and often does mean the opposite. Outside of use on dog abusers, I would not engage further with someone who used that phrase, and didn't mean it in a dog positive way (at our house, being treated like the animals, is best treatment!).
Bet some folks who aren't in the US, and others who are even, appreciated the reminder on what flavor of shitty she is. Even if it was from rude comments responding to you. It's just hard to keep up with all of it all the time. I'm sure there is some jackass who will show up in the news tomorrow that I won't remember what disgusting thing he did or said was, until I'm reminded.
She's known for killing her dog because it wasn't obedient enough.
Yeah but that comment in no way alludes to how SHE treats dogs, just to treat her like one. We aren't giving her belly rubs so the only logical thing to think is to treat her poorly... "like the dog she is". I'm getting down voted for not keeping up with MAGAts personal lives. I don't care. They are and always will be the enemy. I don't need to know these things to know who to oppose.
Uh it's Kristi Noem and a dog reference, idk how much more alluding you want? The joke was explained to you and you're still upset, I think you have something else going on
