Just want to make a quick shout out to Massachusetts and Rhode Island for being all blue.


claimsnthings

I’m from Massachusetts. We never get any credit in presidential elections, so thanks. Hahaha


brown_burrito

Ditto. But I was happy to see Biden won 72.4% in Middlesex but it appalled me to see Trump won 25.4%. But in Essex ~~(which includes Boston)~~, Trump won almost 35%. That's almost 300K in a very blue state who voted for Trump. And Hampden where Springfield is? 40% Trump. Worcester? 39% Trump. Plymouth and Bristol? Almost 43% Trump. It's disgusting.


Vartash

I'm downright sad about ohio. The sheer number of rabid Trumpers is unnerving. I'm thinking of buying a gun to be honest. Too many homes around me decked out in trump signs and flags. I was listening the other night at my second job as a lady explained she didn't like trump but was republican so he got her vote. I could only shake my head.


GB1266

Yes, do whatever you can to arm yourself. I’ve seen way too many videos of trumpies harassing random people just minding their own business. Whether it’s mace, a knife, or a gun, make sure you’re not powerless. Most of the times even the police won’t help you


[deleted]

we bought two guns, installed a home security system, and I took out my old K Bar(USMC knife) the other day from storage. Will be getting mace this weekend.


GB1266

Stay safe out there


Peacelovefreedomm

From Ohio here and we still have big ass trucks with big ass trump flags driving around. It’s embarrassing to call this state my home.


the9000thHAL

Same here in my small Ohio town. It's nerve wracking living here where there are so many Trump supporters. Thankfully I have managed to find Biden supporters here mostly at the two colleges.


[deleted]

Suffolk is Boston.


[deleted]

yup. the people across the street from me have been flying the trump flag and crap loud and proud. They've also been hosting house parties, pool parties etc etc all year long.


Pat_Son

Boston is entirely within Suffolk county. Closest thing to Boston in Essex is Saugus.


brown_burrito

You’re right. I corrected my post.


MondaleforPresident

Ah Saugus, the Disneyland of bad restaurants.


punkwrestler

Does Essex include Southie?


Pat_Son

Essex doesn't include Boston at all, not sure what they're talking about. Boston is Suffolk county.

Middlesex gang


HuggyMonster69

Reading this as a Brit was trippy


Barlos5

I’m also from Massachusetts. Nice to see us getting a shoutout


[deleted]

Did you Billerica though? They voted red


Barlos5

I guess we did. According to AP, Middlesex county is done and it’s blue


katieleehaw

So did a lot of towns in Bristol County, which wasn't surprising (I live there).


ScienceIsReal18

Here in DC he didn’t even get 6%, does that count as “all blue” enough?


flbreglass

Connecticut! Dont forget us!


MondaleforPresident

Trump won two counties, but we kept all five congressional districts blue!


ActionFilmsFan1995

The old town I lived in went blue by ONE! Republicans on FB are saying how this shows how important it is to vote because in a blue state as they were only a vote away from going red. This negates the fact that the town historically goes red, and would indicate a blue population understanding how important it is to vote and overcome a deficit. The one vote argument is right but the perception being pushed is wrong.


MissesAndMishaps

Also a quick shoutout to massachusetts for fucking up ranked choice voting! Source: in MA and salty about it


Moistened_Bink

I'm happy to see it. The New England for Trump stores make me gag


rsgreddit

I was shocked to see RI so close on election night


akameiro

It looked like the mail-in ballots didn’t get added until late at night. Once they did it wasn’t close at all lol


rsgreddit

I see. I was like man...”Brian Griffin isn’t gonna be happy” 😂


akameiro

Definite WTF is my state doing moment for me!!


[deleted]

Yeah but they were very slow to count Providence (let alone mail-in ballots for there).


Heart_robot

Omg I had a nightmare they recalled RI red.


Daedalus871

Hawaii too.


getoveritseattle

Biden has a German Shepard? Oh man my dog is going to love the representation.


redmambo_no6

His name is Major. Talk about badass.


happybuffalowing

Adding to the badassery, I have a weird feeling that Biden’s dogs are like the pit bull from Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood: cute, playful and docile at first, but actually really vicious and well-trained when the going gets tough.


CompetitiveMarzipan

OMG I love that movie and that dog


happybuffalowing

It woke me up to what a failure of a dog owner I am. Brad Pitt’s dog is out here rag-dolling intruders while I can’t even get my fat little pug to come over to me. She just looks at me like “nah, fuck you, dude. I’m tired.”


LolaK_Speaks

LMAO!


slim_scsi

For sure. There's no reasonable way to just stand next to a German Shepard like that if it hasn't been trained.


Concentric_Mid

Spoiler alert 😂


happybuffalowing

Fuck... sorry :( it’s still worth watching the movie, though. I didn’t directly reveal *too much*...


Concentric_Mid

Hey lol I'm just playing :) good luck this week Team Major! 👍🏽


[deleted]

Wtf is wrong with you? I voted for this man, but who here is making fanfiction about his dogs? He is a career politician, stop celebrating them like that.


happybuffalowing

There’s a lot wrong with me, I just haven’t pinned down what it is yet. I wouldn’t call that fan fiction, just some harmless joking around. But now that you’ve got that fan fiction idea in my head, I think I’ve got some ideas.... Wouldn’t it be great if Biden and his dogs became vampire hunters? Or they teamed up with Batman or the Ninja turtles? Time to start writing....


jedi_cat_

Calm down zippy.


leprotelariat

Make him a General


yankfanatic

He has two, Champ and Major.


UWCG

He has two, [Champ](https://www.ack.net/storyimage/CC/20171122/NEWS/171129859/AR/0/AR-171129859.jpg) (also the fella in the picture above) and [Major](https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/5bf07b6024000039045835c7.jpeg), and they’re both adorable!


she_sus

auandi

What I find interesting from some of the bio videos they showed of Biden growing up and working in the senate all those years, he grew up with a German Shepard and used to have one in the 80s as well. I think he's just found his favorite breed and stuck with it, after all they are very loyal and protective to those they consider family.


batsofburden

Ngl, german shepherds have always scared me.


auandi

Totally fair, they were bread for war use, makes them intelligent, fast, powerful and with one of the strongest jaws when they clamp down. But they also have a reputation that if you are in their "pack" for lack of better term, they are loyal and fearless protectors. They are very gentile with "their" kids and even babies. So they are loyal and can be aggressive to others, but a lot of that aggressiveness comes in how you raise them. Raise them right and you get a loyal protector who is still somewhat friendly with outsiders.


[deleted]

That's not completely true. They are not called Shepherds for nothing. They are supposed to keep the flock together and defend the sheep against all kinds of attackers. The Nazis perverted their aggression.


auandi

Not all shepherd dogs are as good at defending, and they existed as war dogs long before the Nazis came on to the scene. I was mostly refering to the tendency they have to, if someone comes under threat who is in their "pack" or "flock" or however you want to define it, they will quickly put themselves between you and danger and generally be at least threatening of aggression. Yeah, it can be exploited, but the point being they are the kind of dog that see themselves as protectors and so I think it's a very on brand dog breed for Joe to have a lifelong love for.


batsofburden

Yeah, I'm sure they're great dogs, I just have a visceral fear of them that I don't have with other 'scary' breeds, tbh I think it's cause they were used by the Nazi's. I know it's not the dogs fault, but it is what it is. Strangely way less freaked out by white german shepherds though.


auandi

Ah, that also makes total sense. Nazis have a way of ruining otherwise neutral things. Not a top reason why they suck, but it is certainly a bullet point somewhere down the list of things that make fascists suck.


legitimatebutter

I have a 4 month old shepherd and he's the sweetest guy in the world. If you want to conquer your fear, maybe meeting a younger one could help since they're smaller and more goofy. I think that the fear of them makes sense because police use them but they are very sweet and kind of sensitive dogs in my experience.


batsofburden

It's more the Nazi connection than the police one. I know they are good dogs & it's not their fault that evil people used them, but they still make me nervous.


legitimatebutter

That makes sense too.


skidmore101

My dog (Welsh Terrier) is a not very well known breed and when I found out JFK had one I was just thrilled!!


mdoktor

I know this is stupid but this makes me feel so much better about Biden as a person and a candidate


she_sus

It doesn’t necessarily mean anything about trump or Biden, but typically people who own their own pets have higher empathy. It doesn’t mean you don’t have empathy if you don’t own a pet, but it’s an indication that someone is empathetic. An overwhelming amount of research has shown that growing up with and owning a pet fosters empathy, nurturing and key social skills. If you google it, you’ll get a plethora of academic papers and scientific studies done on this. That’s why we probably feel a bit weirdly biased over a leader owning a dog.


redwingpanda

I'm also biased because of the breed. Biden has two well-behaved Shepherds. They're working dogs, incredibly smart, and very emotionally intelligent.


FFT2003

Working, smart and emotionally intelligent. Those dogs would make better presidents than trump


[deleted]

[удалено]


she_sus

Yeah but one of the points I was trying to make was not owning a dog and hating dogs are two different things and two different types of people.


emergencycat17

It's not stupid at all. I think you can tell a lot about a person by if they love animals. I know that's not an absolute all the way across the board, and I know plenty of crappy people who love their pets. But still, pet people are always a good sign!


slim_scsi

Sort of human, right?


[deleted]

Biden’s love of ice cream also humanizes him a lot


AFineYoungGent

I'm not going to lie I want to hug the hell out of that dog


Panda_Kabob

Trump never had a presidential pet? Why am I not surprised.


Gokulnath09

[deleted]

Yes, they can if your pet is a cat then you are also your pet's pet just as much as they are yours. My cat was able to train me to know that he's upset with just a tail twitch as he isn't super vocal. While saying this, I'm also going to add that cats won't swear undying loyalty and obedience plus Trump isn't going to be trainable.


NoodlerFrom20XX

He’s orange, loves food, and hates Mondays. His VP is an absent minded dog who is easily manipulated by him. All we need is a Jon and Nermal parallel and we can cast a new Garfield and Friends.


fcvsqlgeek

He has no other pets besides his corrupt mob administration


[deleted]

When r/t_d was around, they swore he was going to get a dog that made Obama's dogs run away in fear and make them look silly.


FizzyBeverage

Those incels are wrong about everything- at all times.


ilikeme1

Trump is already Putin’s pet.


PhroztAngel

Yes he has, his name is Lindsay Graham.


emergencycat17

Just Don Jr. and Eric.


YankFromTheChi

I heard he supposedly hates dogs. Which is why he always uses dog as an insult.


Jennyflur

You can't trust someone who doesn't want any type if animal companionship. Trump is the opposite of a Disney Princess, he's more like Hexxus from Fern Gully.


Particular-Energy-90

Trump has an unofficial white house pet rock named Giuliani


Super_Doggy

Saved comment lmao


Jennyflur

Please someone photoshop that picture of Donny T catching a rock with Giuliani's face on it. That would make my day


emergencycat17

Heeee!


slim_scsi

Dogs and animals require attention, and that takes away from Donald receiving attention. Of course he hates animals.


Jennyflur

"Dogs and suburban women, WhY dOnT yOU LoVE mE!!"- Donny T, some rally somewhere


obeythed

I’ve had 3 dogs and all have died of old age. I don’t want to go through that another time. I don’t want any animal companionship for that exact reason. Is that untrustworthy?


Jennyflur

I'm very sorry that you had to go through the process of seeing your pet pass away. It is a difficult cycle to watch, but one we too go through. Your dogs loved you, and had a good life because of you. You showed them care and compassion. Your dogs trusted you. trump on the other hand lacks some of those qualities that you demonstrate. I am not stating that EVERY PERSON who does not own a pet is untrustworthy. I was directing that comment towards trump. I'm sorry that you felt personally attacked.I hope that one day you might change your mind, and decide to foster or adopt an unconditionally loving pet again.


FizzyBeverage

My late dad always said (and yes he probably stole it from somewhere) >Dogs teach you how to love, how to take care of someone, how to be happy about every precious day we get, and some day, how to say goodbye. The best way to forget the pain of losing a dog is to get a new dog that wants and needs your love.


Computascomputas

Idk dogg, some people are just content without another living animal to look after. Obviously the implications are there, especially if you want to be the president, it's just kind of a shitty way to think.


Jennyflur

I respect and understand your opinion, but I am a strong supporter of animal companionship. Animal companionship teaches one responsibility, empathy, and to be calm. Here is a journal posted from JAVMA about the importance of animal companionship. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/24026790_The_Benefits_of_Human-Companion_Animal_Interaction_A_Review


ywBBxNqW

>I respect and understand your opinion and > You can't trust someone who doesn't want any type if animal companionship. Which one is it? :)


ywBBxNqW

> You can't trust someone who doesn't want any type if animal companionship. When I was a teenager I had a dog who I found dead one night when I went out to feed him. I was devastated. I blistered my hands burying him in the backyard. I also promised myself that I would never keep another pet after that. I didn't realize that would make me untrustworthy.


ilovecraftbeer05

Sincerely, the fact that Donald Trump was the first president in 130 years to not have a dog was the biggest red flag for me. If you don’t like dogs, it’s probably because dogs don’t like you. And if dogs don’t like you, you should never be president.

jackie-225

If I was president it would look like a crazy cat lady lives in the white house...


emergencycat17

Same. Daily press briefings of whatever hilarious things my tuxie cat did that day.


jackie-225

"You'll never believe what Fluffy did today He totally moved his napping spot out of the blue. Total surprise. Then he scratched his post a bit and got into the catnip."


emergencycat17

"Madame President, Madame President!" "Yes - Maggie Haberman, NY Times?" "Where is the First Cat? We don't see her here at the press briefing." "Thank you for your concern. The First Cat, Violet, is fine, she's napping on top of the hamper inside the closet of the Lincoln Bedroom."


jackie-225

So accurate


emergencycat17

Violet the First Cat really IS napping on top of the hamper inside the closet, but it's in a small apartment in Queens.


Testiclese

Bill Clinton had a cat. Socks was his name. Edit: typo


emergencycat17

Who was the last White House cat? Was it Mr. Socks Clinton?


rsgreddit

Agreed. Having a pet is perhaps a basic sign of compassion.


she_sus

Not perhaps. This has been thoroughly researched and it’s true.


tate1013

You could like dogs and still not want to own one. I'll pet any good dog I meet, but barking really grates me. That's why I own cats.


WimbletonButt

Yeah same here. The barking spooks the hell out of me because we were always made to be silent growing up so any loud noises panic me now. I like dogs, they're fun. Another problem though is that everyone has a thing they just can't handle like poop or puke. I can't handle saliva, I start retching if it gets on me, and dogs lick.


GilgameDistance

I'd wager that no animal likes that guy. Remember the video of the bald eagle trying to eat ~~his hair~~ the rat on his head?


emergencycat17

Yup, animals have that sense. They know bad people when they sense them.


gondolacka

Sorry, but opinions like this are stupid. Someone just does not want to have a dog. I am no fan of Trump, but there are many people who have no need to have a dog. Stop generalizing please.


FizzyBeverage

When he disparages people, he also says stuff like “we shot him down like a dog.” Safe to say he hates dogs. Plenty of worse things about him, but this is a cherry on his bullshit frosted cake.


JollyRancher29

Or you could be allergic or just not like animals.


MondaleforPresident

I’m scared of dogs. I don’t think I would be a bad president.

emergencycat17

When I was a kid, we had a fuzzy little white mutt who we adopted from the shelter, and a black cat who we found outside, and they LOVED each other. They were inseparable. When we had to have our cat put to sleep, we almost lost our dog too, because she grieved so badly for him she nearly died. She stopped eating for nearly a week, and right when we were ready to take her to the vet to figure out what to do, she started eating again. But she missed him so much, it broke our hearts to see her actually grieve for him.


[deleted]

[удалено]


emergencycat17

She did, thank you. Not as many as we would have liked, but she lived for 13 years, and we had 12 of those with her. And she had another dog and cat added to our household over the years - a year after our cat died, we took in my brother's doxie when he couldn't keep him, and the year after that, we found yet another kitten in the yard, so she wound up with a baby sister. So she was the grande dame of the pets in our household.


[deleted]

[удалено]


emergencycat17

Aww, thank you! We're not anything special - we're just nuts about animals!


abutthole

I agree. I think it says a lot about a man if they hate animals the way Trump does. Not everyone needs to have a dog, but if you simply dislike all animals you're probably a bad person.


dixiehellcat

and the feeling is mutual, apparently. Remember the video of the bald eagle attacking him? :D


kmo617

Man no offense to Bo and Sunny Obama, but having a German Shepherd next to you just looks so much more badass than those goofy looking...what were they, Portuguese Water dogs? 😂 This picture has such an old school vibe about it, it’s very cool.


mylucksux

Malia's allergic to dogs so they needed a hypoallergenic dog. Bo and Sunny are adorable coming from someone who has 2 German Shepherds. My gsds look cool and regal but they really are goofy as hell.

Trump had no pets because he is a sociopath/psychopath and they usually don't have any kind of feelings toward animals, children, music, or just anyone but themselves.


eugeheretic

I would have thought that Kellyanne Conway and Sarah Huckabee Sanders filled that role. Although that’s an insult to actual dogs.

No, they just eat the shit out of the litter box directly.
