WASHINGTON - The patter of paws is being heard in the White House again following the arrival of President Joe Biden’s dogs Champ and Major. The two German shepherds are the first pets to live at the executive mansion since the Obama administration.
Major burst onto the national scene late last year after Biden, then president-elect, broke his right foot while playing with the dog at their home in Wilmington, Delaware.
The Bidens adopted Major in 2018 from the Delaware Humane Association. Champ joined the family after the 2008 presidential election that made Joe Biden vice president.
The Bidens had promised to bring the dogs with them to the White House. They plan to add a cat, though no update on the feline’s arrival was shared on Monday.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki predicted, while on video answering questions from members of the public, that the cat will “dominate the internet” when it arrives.
Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump, a self-described germaphobe, does not own any pets and had none with him at the White House.

"Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump, a self-described germaphobe, does not own any pets and had none with him at the White House." Now Trump is a germaphobe, but during the campaign he was a super spreader. Biden is not a germaphobe, but was hunkered down in his basement for a year with a diaper over his face.

IIRC, Obama’s dogs pooped all over the White House, bit a couple folks and the only reason they got them was to prove he was not a Muslim since Muslims hate dogs.

Does that two-legged bitch who insists on being called ‘Doctor’, count?

Those dogs are a bigger threat to Commander in Cheat Joe Biden than any Republican is.
By the way, how’s Slow Joe’s fractured foot?

AP’s low ball tout articles!

Awwww...how nice! Good thing Trump didn't have dogs or cats. We would have seen articles like these:
ASSOCIATED PRESS: "Unnamed Source: Trump Butchers Dogs For Family Meal"
or
WASHINGTON POST: "Intimate Sources Say Trump Family Cats Drenched with Gasoline And Set Afire For Entertainment During COVID Crisis"

If Trump had dogs, they would point out how Muslims would be upset since having dogs as pets is Haram.

GWB has gone full Left, but I sure did enjoy and appreciate Barney. That dog knew what to do:

BARNEY knew who the enemy was.

If Trump had owned German Shepherds, the lamestreams would have had another reason to compare him to Hitler. The Hitler/Blondie and Trump/? side-by-side pictures would have appeared regularly.

If Biden is observed walking straddle legged, it is evidence he has used the services of his service dog.

I think Michelle loved the dogs. I don’t like her but I do think she loves their dogs.
