The death of my dog, Isla, was the first and only time I saw my father cry. Even when I read a heartfelt poem at my Papa's funeral, nothing.

But thank you, to the sole downvoter who dislikes the idea of a loving, stoic man revealing his emotions without considering his own past...

Only times I've ever seen my dad cry were at the loss of our dog and the loss of his wife.

Vet has a sign up. Every time you lose a dog, it takes a piece of your heart, but leaves a piece of it’s. The plan is to have enough dogs to

Which is why i partially dont believe it. Republicans have lots of hunters and those guys love there dogs.

The vorta was injured and didnt have enough ketracel white to last long

I've also asked. Only thing people come up with is 1 random person. When you point out they don't speak for everyone you get blocked so...

I guess they just want to be outraged, even though they harp over outrage propaganda all the time

Haven't seen any mocking for this specifically, but when you scroll deep into the comments, you see people being mean towards the family:

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bidens-announce-death-family-dog-champ
TDJellyman
I didn’t read a single thing about making fun of Biden for his dog dying.
nagesagi
That's my point. A lot of condolences towards the family then towards the bottom people start throwing shade towards Biden or family
MrFluffyPookie
The comments are surprisingly empathetic here. And several of the nasty ones stem from "democrats are sociopaths" which is ironic.
cellocalypse
Very ironic but people just wanna keep the hate machine churning
nagesagi
It's weird how many are a variation of "I don't like his policies, but my condolences"

In the car?
MadHakon
A unrestrained pet in a vehicle is a dangerous distraction. There isn't a means to travel with a pet that is entirely comfortable or
MadHakon
risk free. A secured kennel equipped with a windscreen isn't anymore uncomfortable for the animal then traveling in the vehicle and it isn't
chrismofer
you don't know how the ride was up there or how much wind was making it in. the dog got sick and was almost certainly uncomfortable.
MadHakon
I can't know everything. Which flips back onto you, because you don't know the cause behind the dog getting diarrhea. The explanation given
MadHakon
is the dog ate something it wasn't supposed to. Which makes more sense then... exposure to maybe some wind.
Smidge204
"isn't anymore uncomfortable for the animal then traveling in the vehicle" - You might be a psychopath...
MadHakon
Your right. The timeless image of a dog sticking their head out a window to experience the fresh air cannot be used as a proof that dogs
MadHakon
can be perfectly comfortable in such circumstances. Which is such a ridiculous thing for me to even say considering the kennel had
MadHakon
anymore dangerous then a large, restless animal acting as a distraction in the vehicle. Quit feigning outrage over eye roll controversy
chrismofer
restless distraction to who? there's more people in the car than just the driver and IMO no dog has ever distracted me dangerously 1/2
MadHakon
Let me clarify. A distraction to any RESPONSIBLE driver, one who cares about their pet more then the ego boost they get from being SO GOOD
chrismofer
2/2 while driving despite being large and restless and free to walk the car.
Wolfshead009
Bullshit. There are pet harnesses that can be attached to seatbelts and will keep the pet safe.
MadHakon
Oh... and you know for a fact that said harnesses existed in the 1980s
STaSHZILLA
Neck and girth harnesses were brought to Europe from China over 2000 years ago. They were used by ancient civilizations for draft animals.

Pet crates for cars have been marketed in the US since the 60s.
derzilly
Why would you assume the dog would be unrestrained inside the vehicle? You know they have dog seat belts and car kennels?
MadHakon
And did those seat belts exist in the 80s? Are there kennels for every SIZE of dog? Context matters
derzilly
Yes (?), my dad had one for our dog. It was janky, might have been homemade. And yes.
MadHakon
... Might have been homemade? So you say yes, even though you admit if your dad had to make one, they weren't readily available. Weird how
chrismofer
yes lol they make kennels for different dog sizes my goodness
StewedTomaters
Uh, dude? Dog crates for cars have been around since the 60s. I grew up in the 80s with hunting dogs who lived outside, we had them.
Bhargo
holy shit what a fucking ridiculous attempt to defend this
MadHakon
If you want to disprove me, make an argument or shut up. The reason there are so many stupid fucks in America is they argue with their
MadHakon
opinions and never an ounce of argument. I don't like conservatives either, but that you feel smarter then them doesn't validate your
MadHakon
opinions as representing any intelligence. Make an argument or continue insulting me like a Trumpster would. Your choice.
StewedTomaters
In America, responsible dog owners put their dog in a fuckinf crate and inside the car. You guys National Lampoon your dogs?
MadHakon
My point is more about hypocrisy. Some people saying I'm wrong also say they are perfectly fine with their pet completely unrestrained in
chrismofer
I disagree, I've transported dogs in kennels INSIDE my car before without incident.
MadHakon
Can every vehicle accommodate every size of kennel? Context matters
StewedTomaters
This is like watching Clark Griswold justify putting Aunt Edna on the roof...amazing.
chrismofer
you shouldn't take your dog on a trip if your car is so small you have to put them outside of it on the roof.

Give credit where it's due though. Most republicans are posting condolences and sympathy - they're people still and Takei's post is baseless

It's the fact that those who DO mock Biden's grief face no internal consequences. That party is just one giant race to the bottom.
GoToTheZoo
I mean, what internal consequences were faced when a few people made jokes when Robert Trump died? What internal consequences -
GoToTheZoo
- were faced by people making fun of GWB when Barney died? Small amounts of unknown people throwing insults into the void of the internet -
GoToTheZoo
- won't face internal backlash from a party of millions. This whole thing is suggesting it's a trend right now but -

On the non-fascist side of American politics we police our own, and quickly dump those who go against our espoused beliefs.

Because every vote has been and is unanimous? Right?

its not a few individuals though. its at least a couple million easy
Danniboy27
Couple million out of over 100 million? It's a small percentage of the group. That many of us do not like or approve of.

wheres this 100 million comming from? trump had about 75 million voters, and i said it was a couple million EASY. as in, theres at LEAST

that many, and rather obviously many more beyond that easy count

Fuck that. 75 mullion assholes voted for a wannabe dictator and traitor.
bamcobra
Even if you’re correct about the percentage (I don’t believe you are ), don’t you think the remaining 98% are complicit by failing to act.
Bhargo
at least 75 million out of 100 million, that is not a small percentage

At least 70 million, after there is no hope of another candidate winning. At that point it's picking the lesser damage to the country
