Perhaps you do, but I most assuredly do not. My dogs are family companions, nothing more. Large hairy throw rugs if you will that constantly keep my BP in check. I do not expect them to act aggressively toward anyone at any time regardless the circumstances. If they'll offer up a bark to notify me that someone is outside at the front door, I'll consider that a bonus.

In other words, we should not be surprised when a dog, ESPECIALLY a protective breed like a German Shepherd, bites somebody who was acting in a threatening manner. The dog doesn't always know when the person is fooling around, or is a serious threat.

And to this I would simply reiterate that if your dog has any tendency whatsoever to bite, he has no business out in public or near people unfamiliar to him. I take my dogs everywhere with me and I have to 'know' they will not react aggressively no matter the situation. For god sake, my 70 pound male hound almost got eaten alive by a...miniature poodle. And his response? He simply looped around and put me between him and that little hellyun. That little hairy bastard actually drew blood, and Lou still turned the other cheek. Did I mention previously how much I love that dog?

The gray area in between on this issue will land you in court looking down the barrel of a nasty lawsuit. If I ever find myself facing a court case like this it's going to be because 'I' either beat the hell out of someone who attacked me, or ventilated them. The dog need not be a part of it.

I think it unreasonable to expect that your dog(s) would just sit back and do nothing if (God forbid) you were ever assaulted.

It is in their nature to be protective of their pack. Dogs are 'imperfectly domesticated.' I don't believe that dogs (pets or otherwise) can ever be trained out of their protective natures. Nor would I want them to be.

I would never sic my dogs on an intruder or attacker (that is what my AR/shotgun/Glock/P226, etc are for). However, I KNOW they would not hesitate to attack an entire battalion if they thought our lives were in danger.

I read a story where a guy had a heart attack while walking his dog, and he died because his Rottweiler would not allow any good Samaritans to intervene.

Back to topic, I agree with old rugged cross. The dog isn't fooled, and knows his master has lost his marbles, and is therefore much more likely to act out.

Apparently, one of Joe's dogs gave birth to a Democrat today. Bidens dog gives birth.

It could be that. 'Or' it could be these dogs haven't been trained worth a damn and have no clue how to behave in less than ideal conditions.

I'd really love to meet the 'trainer(s)' who have worked with Biden's dogs. Biting random people and crapping in the house. Yeah they're well trained alright. Probably just following their owner's lead.

The dog was probably just a scapegoat for Ex-vice president Biden....

The dog has been abused. Joe pulls his tail when he gets out of the shower nekkid. Having the tail jerked on is one thing but having to witness Joe naked is traumatic. The poor animal can no longer be held responsible for his actions. PTSD is a terrible thing.

Joes an odd duck.
Not many grown adults play with a dog by pulling their tail.

Do we know that it was one of the dogs that crapped on the floor? Maybe it was Joe?

Metaphor for how OBiden and dems are shitting on the country...

But she just laughs.

"It's not a plan that tinkers around the edges," President Joe Biden said Wednesday in Pittsburgh of his $2 trillion "American Jobs Plan." No freaking kidding: It's half of his master plan to utterly remake the nation in the name of recovery from the pandemic.

America is reopening thanks to vaccines developed in record time, and the economy is all set to return to the pre-COVID boom. Rather than get government to get out of the way as everyone gets back to work, Biden aims to spend unprecedented sacks of cash to grow the government and let Democratic interest groups gorge.

Step Two, his "American Families Plan," drops in a few weeks with another $2 trillion in spending. This comes on top of his $1.9 trillion so-called "COVID relief" package -- and the $4 trillion Congress OK'd last year, a quarter of it still unspent.

"This is the moment to reimagine and rebuild a new economy," the White House says. Why, other than the fact that Democrats think they can get away with it?...

...Biden's proposal isn't about letting Americans get back to building their own lives. It's not even actually an American Jobs Plan, it's a con job to sell America on central planning.

And then there's the complete travesty of the so-called HR-1 "For the People" Act that institutionalizes election-rigging for Democrat victory. Permanently.

Biden’s ‘jobs plan’ is a horrific con job

AOC says we should do $10 trillion.

Is anyone else reminded of the podium scene from Police Academy when watching Biden speak?

I just wonder which member of the leftist media is under Bidens podium.

https://www.breitbart.com/econ...es-on-racial-equity/

President Joe Biden’s $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan, the so-called “American Jobs Plan,” spends a great deal of space promising to address “racial equity.”

As Breitbart News has explained, the term “equity” is not the same as “equality.” Equity is prepared to sacrifice equality before the law to benefit individuals claiming membership in groups deemed to suffer from historic disadvantages.

Under President Donald Trump, black unemployment and poverty rates reached record lows, and the gap between black and white unemployment was the smallest ever, thanks to economic growth, Opportunity Zones, and immigration enforcement.

Trump achieved those landmarks without policies aimed at taxing the wealth of some Americans to redistribute it to others along racial lines. However, Biden ran for president on a promise to “rip the roots of systemic racism out of this country.”

Biden’s plan mentions racial “equity,” “inequity,” “injustice,” or “inequality” no fewer than nine times (original emphasis):

1. Like great projects of the past, the President’s plan will unify and mobilize the country to meet the great challenges of our time: the climate crisis and the ambitions of an autocratic China. It will invest in Americans and deliver the jobs and opportunities they deserve. But unlike past major investments, the plan prioritizes addressing long-standing and persistent racial injustice.

2. The President’s plan will ensure that these investments produce good-quality jobs with strong labor standards, prevailing wages, and a free and fair choice to join a union and bargain collectively [sic]. These investments will advance racial equity by providing better jobs and better transportation options to underserved communities.

3. President Biden’s … infrastructure investments will mitigate socio-economic disparities, advance racial equity, and promote affordable access to opportunity

4. The President’s plan includes $20 billion for a new program that will reconnect neighborhoods cut off by historic investments and ensure new projects increase opportunity, advance racial equity and environmental justice, and promote affordable access.

5. Eliminate racial and gender inequities in research and development and science, technology, engineering, and math. Discrimination leads to less innovation: one study found that innovation in the United States will quadruple if women, people of color, and children from low-income families invented at the rate of groups who are not held back by discrimination and structural barriers.

6. In order to ensure workers have ready access to the skills they will need to succeed, and to improve racial and gender equity, President Biden is calling on Congress to invest $100 billion in proven workforce development programs targeted at underserved groups and getting our students on paths to careers before they graduate from high school.

7. All of us deserve to enjoy America’s promise in full — and our nation’s leaders have a responsibility to overcome racial, gender, and other inequalities to make it happen. To that end, the President is calling on Congress to create new, good-quality union jobs for American workers by leveraging their grit and ingenuity to address the climate crisis and build a sustainable infrastructure.

8. President Biden is calling on Congress to update the social contract that provides workers with a fair shot to get ahead, overcome racial and other inequalities that have been barriers for too many Americans, expand the middle class, and strengthen communities. He is calling on Congress to ensure all workers have a free and fair choice to join a union by passing the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, and guarantee union and bargaining rights for public service workers

9. President Biden is calling on Congress to provide the federal government with the tools it needs to ensure employers are providing workers with good jobs – including jobs with fair and equal pay, safe and healthy workplaces, and workplaces free from racial, gender, and other forms of discrimination and harassment. In addition to a $10 billion investment in enforcement as part of the plan’s workforce proposals, the President is calling for increased penalties when employers violate workplace safety and health rules.

xxxxxxxxx

we have moved from "pandering" to outright bribery

Yes. The left changed from equality to equity a while ago. That allows them to do things like discriminate against white and asian people in college admissions and create black only dorms.

They don’t want to be treated equal. They want to be treated special.
