TIL: First Time There's No Pets in the White House

[PosPosPos]

So we're okay with the whatabouttery? The mustard thing came from fox news, which was just as ridiculous. But now that it's CNN it's okay?

I'm not attacking you when I say that; I think it's more indicative of how useless and potentially damaging the 24 hour news networks are. Even with how chaotic people think the world is today (It's really not), there's simply not enough going on to warrant 24 hours of coverage. But that's a tangent, and I don't wanna go off topic.

Yeah yeah yeah we know how alt-right concern trolls have a hardon when bashing CNN but to do so over a perfectly fine "fun facts" non-political article like this is really scraping the bottom of that already-imaginary barrel.

And this actually isn't even relateable to the mustard thing - that was a clear attempt to attack Obama's character because he didn't eat "American" mustard. Did anywhere in this article even so much as insinuate Trump is "un-American" because he doesn't have a pet in the WH and every other president does? No. That's because liberals actually have class and respect, unlike their counterparts.

I don't know if you're insinuating that I'm alt-right, though I'm not surprised if you are, since you believe there's 70 million alt-righters in the US. But you're telling me this is just a "fun facts" story when the article also said he's breaking tradition. I'd say that's attacking his character.

And it was also posted by Slacker, who consistently posts articles to get the anti Trump circle jerk going. Also, why is CNN running this crap? I thought they were a real news network, this kind of stuff should be left to Vox or something.

He already has a bitch, Hillary.

I can see Hillary being a dom in the bedroom. She seems like the type. Trump seems like.....well I don't want to imagine that.

It's almost like every single news station has those puff pieces that are not really news, but just slightly interesting things that mean nothing because they have to fill up time. Every station does it, Fox, CNN, MSNBC, your local new networks, all of them.

I think you are losing track of the really important part here:

The illustrious tradition of keeping pets in the White House dates back to Thomas Jefferson, who kept a mockingbird and a couple of bear cubs during his presidency. Throughout the years, presidential pets became celebrities of sorts.

Presidents raising their own bears is kinda badass. Imagine him receiving guests for negotiations in the Oval Office with a full grown bear sitting at his side, Ezekiel style.

And I still think it's ridiculous as the Hillary shoe, the George W. Bush hump, and the Obama mustard. I might just be cynical, but I don't think those are fluff pieces. A fluff piece would be something like "In her spare time, Hillary Clinton is an avid yoyoist, and she's got a wicked cat's eye." The aforementioned bits are specifically designed to elicit a negative reaction from you to think less of their character.

Does his hair count?

Maybe if he took better care of it.

I don't trust people that refuse to own pets unless they are 1) allergic or 2) poor

[Heladys]

That's not true there's a big fucking mutt in the white house and he keeps shitting on everything and humping everything else.

[Sorshen]

Quite a disturbing obsession after all this time, don't you think?

3) They don't have the time to take care of them.

The commander-in-cheeto can bring a dog onto his own golf courses.

[Kujako]

I think Paul Ryan counts.

whch is kind of bull for the President. If FDR can have time for his dog in the middle of WW2, then any president has the time (and certainly the assistance when he doesnt)

Also, dated a guy that worked suuuuper long days. Still had time for 2 cats (which is why you get 2, so they dont get lonely while you're gone)

Remember how I mentioned in another thread how these people are obsessed with Clinton?

[Sky High]

I see Trump as the kind of guy that HATES pets. anything that gets more attention than him is-- /turns on Trump voice "sad!"

You can always find time to care for a pet. You make time to do it no matter what, you learn this after owning a pet.

Bear cubs are cute, but adult bears would be hell on the furniture. Bear scat is its own kind of awful, imagine it would be impossible to get out of a rug.

Growing up I had a pet raccoon for 2 years, so I smiled about the idea of one being in the Whitehouse. Though you gotta have padlocks on the pantry, those little hands get into everything.

Goldfish?

Pet rock?
