The dog thing is incredibly concerning but given that the Secret Service has a multi-decade history of scandals and incompetence, I'm inclined to say Commander is probably acting appropriately and the problem is with the other actors.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:How old is Biden in dog years Depends on what breed of dog. The concept of dog years isn't really sound because different breeds have vastly different life spans. mawarannahr posted:Personally, I think it indicates poor judgment and selfishness that he would adopt a new dog while serving as president. My wife and I have been fostering elderly, sick, and behaviorally difficult dogs for 11 years and I could not disagree more. The amount of behavioral euthanasia among shelter dogs is shocking and depressing. My wife and I are technically fostering these dogs, but almost all of them end up with us for the rest of their lives because nobody wants a dog over 6 years old or one that was surrendered for "behavioral reasons." If you can afford it and you aren't going to abuse it, then you should adopt a dog. Don't buy from a breeder and be sure to check out senior dogs and dogs with "behavioral" or "health" issues. Sometimes, it is as simple as just giving them medicine and going to the vet once every 6 months, but that "health issue" stigma drives people away and those dogs end up euthanized. It's a huge bummer.

my guess is its more the dog nips at people if they get to close and it doesnt reconize them right away. my gfs dog does that sometimes. even to Us. Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Depends on what breed of dog. The concept of dog years isn't really sound because different breeds have vastly different life spans. My godmother did that to two cats. 1 because it was old as gently caress and visiocous to anyone. and the other because it was wild and vicious as gently caress. they could of obiously trained it better, but they were expecting their first grand kid so that was that. i think they have a new cat now.

Commander is a purebred that was given to Biden as a gift by his brother (dick move imo). Not sure why they wouldn't do the same as they did for Major. Bidens add to their family with new first puppy www.cnn.com - Mon, 20 Dec 2021 posted:“After consulting with dog trainers, animal behaviorists, and veterinarians, the first family has decided to follow the experts’ collective recommendation that it would be safest for Major to live in a quieter environment with family friends,” LaRosa said, noting the decision to move Major was not a reaction to a specific incident, but comes on the heels of “several months of deliberation” by the Biden family and “discussions with experts.”

Alabama's AG says that IVF is still illegal in the state, but they have no intention of prosecuting anyone for it. Which is good... I guess. But, the primary issue with the ruling was civil suits, so this doesn't really address that at all. The Alabama legislature says they aren't going to repeal any of the laws they passed that effectively criminalize IVF, but they are "working on clarifying legislation" that they say will keep all existing laws on the book about embryos legally being considered children in Alabama, but carve out IVF protections. Democrats have introduced a bill that would make it so embryos outside of the womb are not considered human beings under state law, but Republicans don't want to go down that route. They say they are going to draft "similar" legislation that will protect IVF and keep the definition of life at conception. It's not clear how they can do that if they insist on keeping that legal definition and not repealing anything, but I guess we will see when they unveil their "clarifying" legislation. https://twitter.com/cnnbrk/status/1761112332963291146 quote:Alabama attorney general’s office says it has ‘no intention’ to prosecute IVF families, providers Leon Trotsky 2012 fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Feb 23, 2024 |

That's fair and I think maybe makes sense. They had behavioral issues before they were adopted and I think the issue is less that Joe Biden is personally caring for the dog 24/7 and more that the White House might be a bad environment for these specific dogs. Other Presidents have had dogs and they lived perfectly fine lives even if the President wasn't the one feeding them or walking them all the time.

I would imagine that life in the White House is disconcerting for a dog that wants to have a clearly-defined in-group. Buncha strangers walking around me all fast and talking loud and poo poo, I'd get nervous too

The NRSC just released guidence to all Republicans running for office to disavow the Republican platform plank that calls for fetal personhood and banning IVF. Trump also just released a statement asking Alabama to correct the issue with a new law and disavowing the Republican party platform plank. https://twitter.com/FoxReports/status/1761067735587394003 https://twitter.com/reesejgorman/status/1761111187121455528

Banning addictive social media means- I don't see it passing muster and I don't see how you could effectively limit it to what minors see anyway. But I don't think it's a bad or crazy idea.

I saw the news on this when it hit the other day, but this is a good article for a quick summary of how it happened. Health IT security at all levels (hospital, doctors, medical companies, etc.) seems to be incredibly weak and prone to exploitation. It's kind of wild that the health sector in particular has been so far behind most other sectors in IT security. The article seems to imply it was primarily impacting Michigan, but I can't find a solid source saying exactly what areas were most impacted.

I didn't say that all criticism of Biden sounds completely insane, I'm saying that right-wingers are having a difficult time finding something to criticize about Biden that doesn't sound completely insane. It's kind of like how there were tons of valid criticisms of Obama from the left, but the right was so hard up for Obama scandals that they had to make big fusses about tan suits and flag pins just to have something to talk about that wasn't birtherist nonsense or Obama brownshirts conspiracy theories.
