  1. A few years ago, this would have seemed odd.

  2. Without more info and background, this isn’t really up to TPM standards.

  3. It’s a very sad situation but I’m not sure if it’s in any way relevant to the political scene.

  4. Still is odd to me. That guy should be jailed for animal abuse.

  5. Well, he was high up in state GOP circles
    Anyway, abusing a critter gets my dander up. And at least it’s not a story that is all about trump and his needs.
