    Look at right wing comedy. It essentially is "lol you have feelings"? Or "lol you care?".

    It kills me how you ASSume I am defending this because I'm a Republican..Given my other comments that's stupid.

    I will back off defending it though, the story gets worse, she shot a goat the.same day because f how it looked and basically out of anger. She tells about both in the book like it's normal

    I was just giving her benefit of the doubt but there is an animal shelter in her tiny town.

    On.the debate about classes of people and morals that was separate topic

    I don't vote Republican but I don't base my opinions of people o.n their party affiliation

    She tells about shooting the dog as an example of her ability to make tough decisions. Unreal

    All this outrage for puppers but none for the Billy goat who let it all hang out?

    I thought it was where he drags her to a gravel pit and dumps his load on the back of her head.

    The Kristi Noem in urban dictionary circles.

    Just pretend that Kristi aborted a pair of healthy twins in the womb and then you'll no longer give a ****. You're welcome.

    Female Republican politicians. We used to have Kay Bailey.

    Bow we have women who think they're smarter than the average polar bear because they know their state is close to Russia, women who want five house speakers know a year and women thought shooting a puppy.makes them look tough

    I've put down sick/injured animals before, and it's not something to brag or take lightly.

    Only dog, my grandma's last dog, was old and unhappy, we went out and sat around for awhile, had a good talk...and I shot her in the head, I cried the whole time.

    A mercy killing is one thing.

    A "you pissed me off and I am lazy" killing is very much another.

    Damn, I could never do that.

    Not judging, but just wondering, why not (selfishly) let someone else handle it who has no emotional connection to the animal?

    These are the stories you expect when they mention hard choices on the farm, but that wasn't at all what happened.

    BTW, totally read the first time as you taking your grandma out and talking to her before shooting her in the head.

    If it has to be done, do it yourself. Why put a dog (emotionally attached) through a trip to a strange place and deal with strange people (ie a vet office?)

    It's funny that she wrote about this episode thinking it would show the world what a stoic, disciplined, pragmatic leader she is.

    Talk about a backfire.

    Who the **** thought that what the people really want in the Oval Office is someone who kills puppies?

    Because she is entitled and out of touch?

    She isn't the only person like that - especially in Washington.

    That dog owner, my grandmother, joked about that with me for a few years "just take me to the pet cemetary" (that's a spot on the ranch where a couple of special horses, dogs, a pony, have been buried and large rocks placed above) before we got to watch her slowly die in a nursing home.

    Which is better?
