JD Vance says only 'really terrible' people mistreat dogs - apparently forgetting his cabinet colleague shot hers dead

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Vice President JD Vance has declared that only a “really terrible person” would mistreat a dog, apparently forgetting that his cabinet colleague Kristi Noem bragged about executing a puppy in her memoir just last year.

Vance, 41, was appearing on The New York Post’s Pod Force One podcast when he and host Miranda Devine got into a discussion about the controversy that has engulfed Twitch streamer Hasan Piker after his followers spotted his dog wearing an electronic training collar in a video and accused him of using it to administer corrective shocks to the animal, which Piker denied.

Devine asked the vice president what he believed a willingness to hurt dogs revealed about an owner.

“I think it tells you that they’re bad people,” he answered. “If you can actually cause suffering to an innocent animal, you’re probably the kind of person who doesn’t worry about suffering in people as well and that’s been my experience. If you mistreat dogs, that’s a 100 percent sign that you’re gonna be a really terrible person.”

1. Don't ICE agents have to prove

That they've kicked theirs at least once a week?

2. The only point on which I agree with Vladimir Futon.

“I think it tells you that they’re bad people . . .. If you can actually cause suffering to an innocent animal, you’re probably the kind of person who doesn’t worry about suffering in people as well and that’s been my experience. If you mistreat dogs, that’s a 100 percent sign that you’re gonna be a really terrible person.”

That would be ICE Barbie in a nutshell. Not that JD seems to be bothered much by his party's general awfulness toward a lot of people.

3. Yeah wait until you find out what your DHS secretary did, Vance...

4. Lack of empathy is manifested with both humans and animals. Nt

5. I take this to be feigned channeling of Trump .... "They're eating the dogs ...."

Fake empathy.

6. Though he never says it outright, Trump pretty obviously hates dogs

To illustrate, he seems to love the pejorative "like a dog" in the sense that he uses it frequently. People who love or at least like dogs don't think to use them as an object of derision. And Trump has sometimes even used it in contexts where it doesn't even make sense, like "he lies like a dog" type of thing.

I bet it's because dog's generally hate his mongrel ass. They're smart like that.
