You would at least think she would know that.

Exactly. I've never been impressed with her, although JW( P)HT.

WHat's more important for a politician than "making tough choices?"

Knowing what to say, and when to keep your yap shut.

I saw that story. She just eliminated her chance of being a vice president candidate.

I just don’t get what point she is trying to make by telling the story in the first place

"The ability to make tough choices."

There are things you think.
There are things you do.
There are things you talk about.
There are things you publish.

Each of those is a smaller group. She should know that.

Has anybody considered this could be a secret code to Deep State that she'd be willing to do what needs doing if Trump went too far off message?

She put that dog into situations that she knew it wasn’t going to be able to handle and then she killed it when it lived up to her expectations. Stupid Bitch.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. Just what we need advising Trump. Luckily, he's a really stable genius.

Never trust a man that won't kill his own dog.

On my part I just don’t get what point she is trying to make by telling the story in the first place.

I mean, yeah, that's what I find fascinating, too. She actually thought this was not only an example of good character, but so good she'd put it in a book to boast about herself. But, like I said: politician.

I'm with jodi.

Or you could, y'know, not be a dipshit dog owner.

Well he had a point but I don't think it applies here.

Stuff happens with dogs and I’m no absolutist that bad dogs have bad owners. Back when he was in China, my wife’s dog killed some chickens after wrenching his leash from her grip. He’s also bitten her when she’s gotten overconfident about her ability to grab something from him. She took him to dog school when he was young and has always treated him dotingly. But Malamutes are not always the most civilized dogs.

That makes two of us.

She promotes the book in the very first sentence. Nuts.

[Renauda]

What’s even more nuts is that she feels the need to explain herself in addition to promoting her book.

Like George already said she ought to know that sometimes it’s just better to shoot, shovel and shut up about past deeds.

[LuFins Dad]

And then she gave Grasshopper, Cricket’s littermate, to Mitt Romney, who drove Grasshopper across the country in an air conditioned doggy carrier…

She hated the dog. She took the untrained/excitable dog hunting - threw it into a overstimulating situation with a bunch of other dogs and birds - in a shock collar - and it “wrecked” the hunt. She stopped at the neighbors the same day, somehow the dog got out of the truck (hard to “escape” a truck without help from an human) and it killed some chickens. She was likely mad and embarrassed and so then she goes home the very same day and shoots the dog. And also shoots the farm goat? She’s got some pretty big issues. And she has no fucking business owning animals. Not all animals are suitable for the jobs we think they are bred to do. Especially if you do a shit job of training/preparing them. That doesn’t mean you get to shoot them when they act like the animals they are. It’s not a dog’s fault when it kills livestock. That is all on the owner. It’s absolutely the responsibility of a dog owner make sure that the dog doesn’t get into a situation where it can kill livestock. If your dog can’t behave off leash, then keep it on a damned leash. I totally get that sometimes the most humane way to deal with a “dangerous” (domesticated) animal is euthanasia (sadly most of those have been messed up by humans due to poor training, neglect or abuse, and they react aggressively out of fear, and are just trying to survive the only way they know how) but I just don’t see how that is the case here. This was a young dog that likely could have lived a good life with a different owner. She really sucks. I hope she never lives this down.
