My palm, Leslie, is voting green.

Yes, I really did name my palm Leslie.

My dog keeps farting. I think that might be a political statement. I’m just not sure how to interpret it. Are they trumps in support of the Donald or is he expressing disgust?

tinyfaery's avatar

My cats think they are gods. They are much more important and powerful than any mere human, president included.

Jessie is just concerned about getting bacon on the weekends.

I think the cats may be rightly in contempt of politics in general.

Or they may feel we should ask not what they can do for politicians, but ask what politicians can do for them.

My goose “Marwyn” should BE president. He even looks like Ross Perot. lol

My dog thinks I’m foolish for wasting my time with electoral politics in a pseudo-capitalist system. She’s an anarcho-syndicalist who lectures me about the benefits of a decentralized system of free associations. She tells stories about the Spanish revolution of the 30s, and will often quote Chomsky to mix things up. I’ve tried to convince her that Sanders is worth it, but she describes his basic “new-deal Democrat” proposals will likely save capitalism from itself – a thought she is not willing to entertain.

What, no crass, snarky, and obvious jokes about a b**** in the White House? I’m very proud of you, indeed, my Jelly friends.

Russell, my Dachshund/Pit bull mix, will do whatever I tell him to, other than not sleep in my bed. So he’s all whatever is our best chance of government for the people.

Update: I just spotted my cat urinating on a newspaper page headlined, Trump declares if elected his ban on immigration will extend to the Siamese.

Guess that confirms my furry friend will NOT be voting Republican. You guessed it. He’s a Siamese cat.

@Pachy

Yeah, those Siamese really tend to take over the place. Lady found this out firsthand years ago:

No, but my male dog came to me and said he now identifies as a female cat, so now it gets Friskies to eat and I have an appointment to get my new girl cat spayed and declawed. Now to figure out which litter box my new girl cat should use.

Seek's avatar

Why would you declaw an animal? That’s incredibly cruel.

My dog just texted me to remind me that people who consistently post nonsensical comments online without actually engaging in the conversation or answering follow-up questions are likely insincere.

GSLeader's avatar

My dog, I mean cat, just texted me in Chinese. Yes, now he, I mean she, identifies as a Chinese cat with no claws.

My two dogs are herders and are very annoyed that so many sheep seem to be allowed to express so many radical opinions without any intelligence or direction.

@GSLeader: When I did my GSA training in the mid-90s (Mile High Council) there was a big emphasis on tolerance, inclusion, and loving acceptance of all points of view. Such snide attitudes as yours about the nature of people were seriously discouraged. I’m guessing that your training was somewhere else. I sincerely hope, for their sake, that none of the girls that you lead ever crosses your personal line of tolerance. I also hope that you keep your attitudes far away from your troop.

GSLeader's avatar

When I did my training it was for Girl Scouts, not Boy Scouts. Tolerance? Of course. Inclusion? Absolutely. Pretending boys are girls? Must have missed that day.

DoNotKnowMuch's avatar

@GSLeader: “Must have missed that day.”

Now that you know that missed that day, are you aware of the organization’s transgender policy ?

“That said, if the child is recognized by the family and school/community as a girl and lives culturally as a girl, then Girl Scouts is an organization that can serve her in a setting that is both emotionally and physically safe.”

canidmajor's avatar

Oh, do go to the official GSA page, FAQ about social issues. You are way behind the times, and presenting yourself as against their social policies while using their name in your user identity.
Poor form, @GSLeader, poor form.

canidmajor's avatar

And @DoNotKnowMuch beat me to it. Thank you, @DoNotKnowMuch, my copy/paste seems to be off this AM.

Seek's avatar

On my honour, I will try to serve God and my country, help people at all times, and to live by the Girl Scout Law.

I will do my best to be
Honest and fair
Friendly and helpful
considerate and caring
courageous and strong
and responsible for what I say and do
and to
reaspect myself and others
respect authority
use resources wisely
make the world a better place
and be a sister to every Girl Scout.

I don’t remember an “except the Trans scouts” at the end of the Law. Does anyone else?

elbanditoroso's avatar

My daughter’s dog peed on the right front tire of my truck yesterday. I see that as a negative vote for Trump. The dog is clearly pro-Hillary.

GSLeader's avatar

I am well aware of the Promise, Law, and policies. If a boy pretending to be a girl wants to join my troop I can’t deny. Howrver, said boy would not use the bathroom with the actual girls. Besides, boys pretending to be girls really is more of a city thing and hasn’t made its way here.

DoNotKnowMuch's avatar

@GSLeader: “Besides, boys pretending to be girls really is more of a city thing and hasn’t made its way here.”

Do any of the parents object to you inspecting their girls’ genitalia?

Seek's avatar

@GSLeader – How would you know? If I put my long-haired seven year old boy in a Brownie uniform and called him Eileen instead of Ian, you’d never know the difference. And if you did, you could probably be charged with a felony.

Seek's avatar

And once again, @DoNotKnowMuch has taken the words directly out of my mouth.

canidmajor's avatar

@Seek: He’s just so speedy! ;-)

When I ask my Sadie if she has to go outside and take a Trump….she does so like clockwork.

ARE_you_kidding_me's avatar

My chihuahua is whiny, can’t lift a finger to do anything unless handouts are involved and feels entitled to everything. She spends her day just laying around not doing anything productive. Sometimes she will take a great big shit right in the middle of the floor almost hoping one of us will step in it. She wants me to vote for bernie

flutherother's avatar

My terrier seems fascinated by Trump’s hair and not in a good way. He probably thinks there is some kind of furry animal hiding up there. I take this as a vote against.

tinyfaery's avatar

Wow. This took a turn…

ragingloli's avatar

My pet human said he would vote for trump.
I had to euthanise him.
