One of the saddest stories I covered years ago in Texas reminds me of politics today. The local constabulary put down a man’s dog with the needle – a popular means of amusement among many in the Lone Star State and it is not limited to putting down lesser mammals. They turned off this particular dog because it had killed another in a dog fight. The sad part was the killer was on a leash, but the dog that attacked the owner and his leashed dog was not.
In defense of his owner, the leashed dog dispatched the attacking canine in less than 30 seconds – enough for a TikTok video, had TikTok been around in the 80s.
But because the leashed dog dispatched another, whatever the reason apparently, or perhaps because the guy hired someone like Alina Habba for his attorney, the dog went down.
Republicans will see themselves as the victim or the hero of that story – you decide. However, let the facts show that only one party is still on a leash and has yet to soil the Constitution. Opinions also vary on which party this is – and that depends on whether or not you adhere to facts.
