As a person who has a canine companion I am appalled at the treatment pets get from some GOPers…I am sure that my friends that have feline companions feel as I do.
I bring this up because of an article I read about the Uber GOPer that leads the NRA and others
We expect October surprises in an election year, but this time out the GOP has also offered up some serious Halloween jump scares. In a season when Donald Trump and JD Vance continue to lie about Haitian immigrants stealing and eating cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio, a genuine Republican Pet Sematary has emerged to haunt Trumpworld. As with so many Trump accusations, this one doubles as an admission, involving several of MAGA’s guiding lights and tales of grotesque animal cruelty. Let’s start with the NRA’s new president, Douglas Hamlin.
Hamlin took the NRA post this summer, and against all odds managed to tarnish the legacy of the scandal-plagued, financially strapped gun lobby even further. In 1979, Hamlin and four other fraternity brothers decided to rid their University of Michigan at Ann Arbor’s Alpha Phi Delta fraternity of a house cat that did not care to use its litterbox. At the time, Hamlin served as president of the house; he and his frat brothers proceeded to burn and dismember the cat, then publicly displayed it by stringing it up. The grislier details can be found here.
…
If Hamlin’s was an isolated instance, maybe you could dismiss it as one man’s youthful mistake. Unfortunately, the story broke less than a month after Heritage Foundation President Kenneth Roberts’s own pet-slaying saga surfaced. Roberts also serves as the intellectual engine behind Project 2025, a blueprint for a second Trump administration that’s so politically toxic that Trump has denied knowing what’s in it or even ever meeting Roberts—despite sharing private flights with Roberts and employing well over half of Project 2025’s 307 authors in his first administration, past campaigns, and transition teams.

These acts and others precludes me from ever considering a Repub for anything in public office.
If they are this cruel to animals think how they feel about us mere peasants.

“lego ergo scribo”
Project 25 is so toxic if it becomes the poliitical directive more than half of republicans will leave the party. I certainly will. But isn’t 15 million unvetted newcomers more serious than anything ?
Any good conserv would get away from the document as fast as possible. chuq
Almost all serial killers start out by harming or killing defenceless animals. Anyone who could burn a cat alive would have no qualms about putting people into camps and executing them.
Best wishes, Pete.
I agree….chuq
You should also avoid all colleges and universities,”, and fraternities, as well as republicans, and anyone from Michigan, and all northern states in particular. They are all the same, mean and evil..
I went to university and I am not mean. Take a certain type of evil to be these people. chuq
My comment was a little harsh. Meant to be sarcasm. Had not had my coffee yet. My point was not go blame all republicans fir the actions if a few.
I understand the coffee thing….I have had mine been up[ since about midnight. chuq
And now we can estimate with some accuracy, what some of those same people have got planned for all the democrats.
It is something to think about. chuq
