You seem to be all over the place on this issue.

Republicans pick your pocket while they lie to your face.

Put them on the Long Slow Walk of Shame to Florida.

This is the more scientific look at the piece I posted a bit ago on conservatives' greater vulnerability to political misperceptions.

Data. I love data.

Marks raising marks, how the West was won.

The new poll is prompted by a recent (two weeks old) national poll in which a majority of Republicans indicated that they believe that Trump was reelected and ought to be president as a result of the election.

I was originally going to post this with "I'm a Republican and I think..." but decided that this was a better way to phrase the thing.

No.
We should not be eating dogs...tis why Trump made that Dog and Cat Meat Prohibition Act in 2018.
Hopefully it reached Hawaii...disgusting things were happening there.

I see as of 8AM 100% of elba believes Joe won, small turnout.

Otherwise you would have posited an oxymoron....

One more wake up and I’m heading home stronger with more flexibility and endurance than I was pre surgery.

Can’t wait to cuddle with my critters who by now probably think I’m gone forever... too.

Dogs in South Korea are usually killed by electrocution....

Do you eat the meat of land animals produced by factory farming? 

Dogs have been viewed as meat animals in Korea for millennia. 

All large-scale meat operations,  be they dog, pig, cow,  or poultry,  involve cruelty.

For a cold splash of reality Google: “Pets will eat...” and watch what comes up.

Taking a WAG the next three words are "their dead owner. " 

As an aside,  I'm a big fan of composting the dead.   Green burials okay,  too.

I'm a big fan of graves in cemeteries, that one can visit and lay flowers on.

Green burial allows stone markers.

I visited the little hole in the wall, all my mind could imagine was her squashed into the little hole. I never went there again.

Maybe if you stopped squashing your mind into a little hole....

Seriously, why be so attached to the empty husk?   Either she is with you,  permeating all time and space, or she has spun into some dimension of being utterly beyond this world and beyond time.   There's no knowing until you yourself travel into that undiscovered country.

He just posted that it's a dog eat dog world,  so I'm guessing that it should stay within the species,  in his view.   To me,  if you say it's wrong to eat dogs,  then you should not be eating any sentient animal.   Which is really just saying humans are morally distinct from all other creatures.

Biden demonstrating that (a) he is perceived well on the world stage and (b) that at least in some areas, the United States is back in a position to lead (in a positive direction):

Both the news explicitly in the article and the two implications above are very good news.
