Dogs
Okay, so here’s the deal — I don’t think Trump likes dogs.
Trump’s proposed 2021 budget released to Congress last week includes plans to eliminate a program that deploys dog teams to detect explosives at crowded travel hubs across the country.
These are federal programs and Trump thinks that by switching them to the state and city to maintain, everything will be okay. Sure they will, as long as the state and cities can afford to maintain them. So if you live in Podunk, you’re not worried until you have to fly to New York or Miami.
I suspect the money will be diverted to Trump’s gold vacations or the damn wall.
Personally, I think it all started here.
Thanks to S Gray for the heads up.
And Deb T sent us this one to go with it.
As I recall the 911 pilots got on at a small airport with no explosives. Also, only one guy tried to hide explosives in his underwear and another in his shoes. Either we should check everyone with the thoroughness of El Al or quit being afraid of everyone, including Trump!
1JJ, he’s a self-proclaimed germophobe and he considers dogs inherently very dirty and germy. He wouldn’t even touch that dog that got a medal for heroism.
Not that you needed another to hate that SOB.
2Responding to the question, on who will be her “Mike Pence,” Senator Warren said she already has a dog. She does. Bailey, a beautiful Golden Retriever.
Donnie* needs a dog. They seem to like Teddie Crooze, or at least posters of him. https://socialcoldstreams.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/ceqke0-wqaawyqo.jpg
Triumph the Insult Comic Dog would be the perfect pet for Donnie*. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Triumph+the+Insult+Comic+Dog&view=detail&mid=A24DF639DADCDCC6F477A24DF639DADCDCC6F477&FORM=VIRE
3This has nothing to do with dogs. Trump knows he and his genetic droppings will be protected forever by the Secret Service, at no charge to him. So he really doesn’t care if airports are secure or not. As long as it is Other People being endangered, he is not concerned.
4Grandma Ada, the 911 ‘pilots’ were a good example of “if you see something, say something.” Seriously. Who takes flight instruction on how to take off and doesn’t want to learn how to land? Definitely a “red flag” missed by that flight school operator. While no system alone is foolproof, it’s like the interlocking pieces of gun safety working in conjunction; each piece counts.

5Trump does not like dogs.
Ivana wrote about in her book. Her dog Chappie had it’s leg broken twice, once on their yacht, and once mysteriously when the dog and The Donald were home alone.
She added that the dog did not like Trump and growled at him. The dog clearly, was smarter than many people.
6The Surly Professor @4, add short sighted to Donnie’s* other fine qualities, selfish and st00pid. Anyone with a modicum of security experience knows keeping those around you safe, keeps you safer. Visualize plane being flown into Trump* Tower or a bomb blast at a private hangar near the ***king moron*. However do his* security details resist the urge to live longer by eliminating their greatest security threat?
Rick, dogs have great instincts. Unfortunate that Chappie wasn’t a Canary Mastiff.
7Dogs are good judges of character.
8Trump has never, ever heard the words “Who’s a good boy” asked of him. He couldn’t deal with the competition if he had a dog. Why even Melania would rather stroke it than him I think.
9The only pet he will ever have is the one he wears on top of his head.
Maybe he’s planning to replace the dogs with badgers. That would at least explain this:

10Jane&PKM: you’re right. He’s too stupid to realize that he (or his money) might be indirectly threatened by this.
At the same time, everyone is right: dogs are good character references … and Trump is likely to be snarled at by even the most clueless of dogs.
Buttermilk Sky: I saw that about badgers but resolutely refused to pass it along, because it falls into the “surely this is a satire, or another spoof by the Yes Men”. Not that Trump would be clueless about badgers, but that he could have curiosity about anything other than TV rankings and his hair and alleged tan. But then I listen to “Strange Things Happening Every Day” by Sister Rosetta Tharpe … and it is probably true.
11One of the staffers or maladministration probably used the expression “honey badger doesn’t care.” Too lazy to google or st00pid to ask, Donnie* probably locked onto “badger” the way he* did “border wall” which began as a device to keep the ***king moron* focused on immigration.
If you like fun animal videos check out “honey badger doesn’t care.”
12Once again, I had the right to remain silent. But I didn’t have the ability.
13Just more proof that donald f**king trump only surrounds himself with spineless sycophants.
Anybody with even the slightest sliver of ironical backbone, hearing this crap could only have one response.
Just one.
Badgers. Badgers. We don’t need no stinkin’ Badgers!
There is a bill in Congress that would provide more money for sniffer dogs at airports and other points entry. These dogs are the Beagle Brigade sponsored by USDA. their job is to sniff out anything that smells like animal, vegetable or mineral being smuggled into the country. The smell capacity is out of sight. Who knows? maybe they can even sniff out somebody with coronavirus before it even shows its ugly head. The Golden gibbon is expected to sign this bill, but, hell, who knows!
14Dogs are good judges of character. Anyone my two don’t trust, I wouldn’t trust either.
15I’ve never had one of my dogs be wrong about someone they didn’t like.
