I grew up on a farm. It's one of the reasons I know what she did was unnecessary. But again, I posted the article because she was dumb enough to put it in the book. I knew people would defend her actions for political reasons. I thought everyone would agree she was stupid for telling the story, though.
Well, I'm not gonna be drawn into the debate on whether it was unnecessary. You've made your opinion clear, but that's all it is, particularly without knowing more than some excerpts from her book. And I think it is pretty universal about the intelligence of including the story in her book. But that's just it. Books don't get published like Noir typing something stupid and just hitting the Post Reply button on a message board. This had to be vetted, by multiple people, multiple times. Which makes me believe it was intentional to get it out there now, suffer the blow back, and recover. Would this "revelation" be what stops her when she gets appointed to Trump's cabinet, runs in 2028, or something else? Not if it's yesterday's transgression.
Apparently it's not universal, because people have said it wasn't a big deal to include it. I don't really care about her political future. I didn't know she was tied to Trump as a serious VP candidate before I read the article. But you make a good point about all those people around her saying it was fine to run the story. Definitely makes you wonder about her judgement if she was ever in a position of power on a bigger stage. If she can't find someone who's smart enough to edit her book, can she find someone smart enough to help run the country?
Your question, however, only focuses on this being a horrible error in editing versus my allowing for the possibility that this was on purpose and by design. That is, SD is nowhere near Vegas, and what happens on the ranch doesn't always stay on the ranch. You are presupposing that if KN simply kept her trap shut, the dog murderer story never sees the light of day. What if the story had already surfaced, but was not widely known and was just lying in the weeds waiting to be sprung against her when most politically opportune? By revealing it in this fashion, she's taken the wind out of those sails. Sometimes, one has to fall on their sword and there are better times to do that than others. She picked the time and place. This controversy will pass just like they always do. Just a theory.
I guess that's possible, but I don't think it's a story that would destroy her political career. It could have at least been worded differently. Just say the dog was put down. That would still be unnecessary, but technically still true and sounds a lot better than taking the dog out back and shooting him.
That's some analogy.
"You mad bro"That's some analogy.
I doubt you know much about the publishing industry no matter how hard you're trying to sound like an expert. Hell, I don't think you understand too much about posting on a message board, either, outside of "hitting the Post Reply button" to share your insipid and witless opinions.
Oh, it's you again. I was hoping one of those recent Nebraskan tornadoes had picked you up and dropped you down a deep well.
you know what's funny but sad? I mean other than @Heels Noir trying to get in some weak-ass jab at me that involves the death of something loved. Please Lord never let me be so desperate and butthurt as to sink that low. But I digress.
That's exactly how I feel when me and your Mom go at it.
That's my thing. There have to be better ways to make the point that she can make tough decisions and do hard things.
Ivanka put it in her book. He's the first pres in eons to not have a First dog. And he called Pence "low-class" for having a pet at the VP residence. And he's said it would be phony for him to have a "first dog", cuz he simply doesn't like dogs.

if you'll be honest and actually examine what has been posted here, you'll have to admit that YOU are the one who has made this political by assuming that someone would do so, and then assigning that mindset unjustifiably. So you're right, someone did make it political....you.

She should have gotten Cornpop to kill the dog. Then she could have fed it to the cannibals of New Guinea thereby saving Joe's uncle.
fail, as usual. You lie even with with the words staring you right in the face. In other words, no surprise.Face it, Boy Blunder, you opened your pie hole one too many times on the subject and burned yourself by trying to rewrite what the woman actually wrote.
BUSTED!
House cats prey on quail and pheasants. Nothing more useless than a house cat other than liberals. I shoot coyotes, raccoons, skunks and bobcats as well.
Not many out here. They are endangered species. We are hoping to irradicate them soon.
if he was here legally, and he donated to the cause by buying a lottery ticket, I have no quarrel with him or anyone else winning. The purchase of tickets is the objective, and those proceeds help us internally. Who buys them and who wins is of no concern.
you're finally making sense.
To be fair, I don't know if he's a psychopath, sociopath, or suffering from trauma. I'm sure the condition will never change, however.
I don't know the circumstances of Obama eating dog. But, it never ceases to amaze me how quickly the teams play the "What about when you do it?" card.
Dang man all those animals play a crucial role in the whole “circle of life” thing. (Well except cats) Don’t you worry about disrupting the balance? I mean yea you’re just one person so I guess you can only do so much damage. But there’s only like one bobcat for every 5sq miles or so and removing predators creates havoc in an ecosystem
Oh there was plenty of peeps…15 yrs years ago when the romney campaign “broke the story” which was basically them reading a memoir published by Obama 20yrs prior to that. (And which iirc was in response to criticism of romney traveling with his dog on the roof of the car) I imagine 15 yrs from now there will be few peeps about noem as well. But I’m sure some liberal in a chat will remind us of it should a dem catch heat for blowing their dogs head off with a shotgun for being a pest.
