(19,197 posts)12. Who here thinks Trump, Miller etc. WOULD strangle cats?
There's not a doubt in my mind about Miller, and I'm 95% sure on Trump. They're sick, immoral assholes with so sense of right or wrong, and not an iota of empathy between them. I'm willing to bet 70% of republicans would qualify for that psychopathy.
So Garrison, you weren't wrong about most republicans being cat stranglers.
