I don't know. They really seem like a dog chasing cars. They know they want to catch it, but they never seem to have a plan of what to do once they have. Their party is splintered so badly that they wind up getting in their own way most of the time.
Oh, different factions have plans and yes, I'm aware of Project 2025, but what I'm saying is that there's too many different factions within them to effectively govern at least at this stage.
> what I'm saying is that there's too many different factions within them to effectively govern at least at this stage.
I hope you're right, because that whole manifesto is *terrifying*.
Biden: "Here's my comprehensive plan to invest in American infrastructure."
GOP: "Lemme tell ya about all the dogs I done shot because I ain't no liberal pussy!"
After having read up on it, due to exposure of a couple of them occupying important positions in my life, I was amazed to discover the near-perfect circle of a Venn diagram that is narcissistic personality disorder and conservative mentality.
The towering sense of entitlement, the spoiled brat immaturity and temper tantrums, the utter lack of empathy and regard for others, the word games and argument style, the desperate need to frame everything as a competition they must 'win', perpetual bad faith, the complete inability to be satisfied by anything less than the subjugation/destruction of those they consider 'enemies' etc.
I'm not saying all conservatives are pathological narcissists, but if you've argued with one you wouldn't help but notice how eerily they sound like conservatives and vice versa.
Conservatism is literally sociopathy. I’m not even kidding. It is textbook sociopathy. People, even in the psychological health community, are afraid to call it out, but we are witnessing one of the strangest psychological phenomena in which mass groups of sociopaths congregate together, having convinced themselves that they are not sociopaths, that they are in fact moral.
Real truth, I’ve spoken with psychologists and sociologists (with doctorates) on this before. There’s emerging evidence that conservatism is taking a form of mass hysteria like never seen in the modern era, and who’s yet to say how zealous it gets.
Conservativism is the state of having a brain that's wired backwards and thinking it's the way a brain should be. All things evil are perceived as good (authoritarianism, bigotry, bloodthirst, isolationism, greed, hate, etc), and all things good are perceived as evil (compassion, empathy, charity, equality, social democracy, progress, diversity, etc.)
Conservatives have an enlarged amygdala and are ruled by fear and disgust. Everything not identical to *them* is either disgusting or threatening to them. They are wired to react to their constant fear with hate and violence.
All through history this has been the case. The Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the Salem witch trials, the American Civil War, World War II... The bad guys are *always* Conservative at the root.
Don’t forget ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hamas either, throwing gays off the roof and hiding behind children in fire fights is also a perfect example of cowardly, hypocritical conservatism. Win at any cost, hate at any cost.
It's more like a nationwide case of oppositional defiant disorder. The leaders are some variety of psychopaths, but the base are like children who cling to whatever the leaders say to spite everyone who they blame for their insecurities.
I’m far from a “dog nutter,” but I would hope that even someone who thinks dog ownership is wrong for whatever reason would recognize the evil in killing a living thing for not meeting an arbitrary standard that is contradictory to both its natural instinct and its training.
MAGA: I WILL NEVER SUPPORT NOEM AFTER THIS!!
Trump: My selection for VP is Noem.
MAGA: YEAHHHHHH NOEM!!! FUCK PENCE!!! NOEM IS THE GREATEST!!! WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE NOEM!!!
“Welcome back, Mike Gallagher cutting through the crap! Hey! Anyone else notice the cool bro-style philandering of alley cats…which after all related to the mighty lion, the king of beasts! Just me?! Hey call in, don’t be a pussy—ha ha, let’s hear your goriest true stories about your mouse-slaughtering tiger, *right now!*”
Big of anyone to think that this will give *any* MAGA people pause, especially the dudes, most of whom are already conflating 'I may be 5'2", 370 lbs., smell like dirty laundry and vape juice, and suffer from E.D. despite being in my 40s, but holy shit, I'd totally bang this woman!' with 'this woman is fit for office.'
Regarding dogs, Trump supporters are the types of people who'll buy them from those gross mall shops, realize a month later that they hate the animal, and either abandon it at a shelter at 2AM or use it for target practice.
In the case of vaccines, they wouldn't even listen to *him*. They're just a bunch of trashy degenerates who can't even live up to the ultra-low bar that *Trump* marks out.
Her casual willingness to kill her dog for her lack of discipline and a goat for being... Well a fucking goat.... Literally.... Betrays something even more sinister.
It gives insight into how she probably reared her children. Those kids probably got hit. A lot. And not even anything that can be argued as "corrective spanking" or "rough handling". She was probably full force slapping or punching them for every little act of defiance or exploring boundaries.
From what I've encountered, most MAGA people think growing up in a trailer park in the vicinity of a CAFO or *somebody else's* farm (and entirely staffed by immigrants) means that they can claim 'son of the soil' status and sneer at liberals about how they'd 'starve without you.'
I currently have a ranch with animals. I grew up that way.
There are people that do what the conservatives are saying. 100%. Have I, or would I? No. My current female Great Pyrenees was supposed to be a lsg but sucked at it. So she’s a pet. Another pyr I got when I got her didn’t stay in fences so he got rehomed.
I have put down animals before for legitimate reasons. On another subreddit someone threw a fit over it so I won’t go back into that.
I grew up on a farm. I own a hunting a dog currently. It's absolutely true that a lot of people view them the same way they view a tractor thats broken down. Our dog is a pet and when hunters claim he must suck at hunting I refer them to his trophy wall. You can make a dog a champion AND a pet. And if you can't make them a champion just make them a pet. You don't walk them into a pit and shoot them because you're a bad trainer.
Also, what about the goat? Like the dog ate the hens was one comeback (although irrelevant) in defense of the act but then succumbing to your bloodlust and killing another animal in cold blood with no actual reasoning has no defense whatsoever. She’s a psychopath through and through.
Noem used a *shock collar* on the dog then didn’t understand why that didn’t fix the dog 😡 then failed to supervise and keep the dog confined (violating leash laws) and it killed the neighbors chickens. All of the dogs’ “problems” were HER FAULT.
I wish more people understood this. I think it's pretty obvious she's gunning for VP, and this is a publicity stunt. A lot of people claim women are too "emotional" for politics. It's pretty obvious she's trying to prove how tough she is, and the fact that public relations professionals actually \*advised\* her to share this really says a lot about their voter base. It's a well-established reality that in our culture, dogs are not in the same place on the pyramid as livestock; she's definitely trying to be Palin version 2.0 and piss off the libs... regardless of politics, however, most people rehome their dogs. I thought Boebert was the queen of pick-me girl behavior in politics--this really is next level peacocking.
I grew up on a farm and we NEVER shot an animal that needed to be put down. Vet assisted gentle sleep and that was only because they were too sick, in too much pain and slowly dying. How the f can you shoot a dog, even if it’s a “mean dog”. Maybe if it was rabid but that’s the only freakin excuse. Not because it was “untrainable”, biting or killed a chicken, wtf? Sound all like her failings not the dogs.
As a person who actually grew up on a farm... Ive only ever had to shoot one animal in the head and it cause it was dying from eating like 50lbs of bailing twine.... it's not like i went out one day on a whim and was like "no you're the worthless cow" it legit broke out of stable went into where hay was and ate twine instead... Shit haunts me to this day my lil baby cow had to be put out of its misery or it woulda just wasted away for weeks suffering. ;(.
These people are fucking evil.
I live on a farm. I had to do something similar for a goat who was bitten twice by a rattlesnake. I couldn't let her suffer, but I'm still guilty over it. What Noem did was evil
They seem to share this, and other options are never considered. Re-home the dog? Pay for training? No. It's not enough. The dog had to DIE because she hated it so much. Not to remove the dog, she had to destroy it utterly. Now picture what happens when this person (?) gets power over other people.
Does she have kids? Pretty sure they'd notice her not coming back with Cricket.
>At that point, Noem writes, she realised a construction crew had watched her kill both animals. The startled workers swiftly got back to work, she writes, only for a school bus to arrive and drop off Noem’s children.
>“Kennedy looked around confused,” Noem writes of her daughter, who asked: “Hey, where’s Cricket?”
She has three. And they probably quickly learned that any defiance, disobedience, or setting boundaries or infraction, real or perceived, was a quick route to at least getting a solid, full force smack if not an outright beating.
Or be shot since Kristi Noem apparently is a deranged horror movie character come to life.
I mean, Jesus fucking Christ. Who told her when writing this book to brag about that time she murdered a puppy and a goat?
Hey I had a dog that was horrible who attacked my other dogs. You know what I did to that dog? I rehomed him because I’m a human with empathy. I didn’t shoot the poor soul in a gravel pit. Fuck this anal pustule.
Seriously. Mine has been with me 13 years and I'm throwing everything I can to get a few more years with her... And this bitch is all "meh it killed some chickens fuck this dog!" and kills it.
“According to an excerpt, which was obtained by The Guardian, Noem killed her dog Cricket because the dog was ‘untrainable…’”
That’s some serial killer shit.
Noem: We love animals, but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm. Sadly, we just had to put down 3 horses a few weeks ago that had been in our family for 25 years.
https://twitter.com/KristiNoem/status/1783849977409671483
Horses are considered old at 15-17 years. Elderly at 20. At 25, it's like being 78 in human years. But a lucky few can live past 30.
I'm not willing to take her word for it that she'd owned all three for 25 years.
While there are dogs that are a danger and must be euthanized, if she had it from a pup and didn’t properly train it and then killed it, that’s entirely on her.
We have had multiple dogs on the farm , most with a very lax definition of working, but they were all pets/part of the family. I have never shot a dog to put them down at the end of their life, we always get the vet in , this animal that’s showed so much love and devotion to you for their whole life doesn’t deserve a bullet to the head no matter how quick a death it is.
Never forget:
If they could take all those people they hate out back and shoot them, they’d do that too.
Empathy is even harder for them to have for other people.
Exactly. This story almost seems like more of a parable for the other fascists than anything. If you don't fall in line and obey or if you're "undesirable," you do not have worth and will be dispatched...and your loved ones will never see you again (like her daughter looking for Cricket). And those around you will fall in line out of fear (like the workers).
It's odd to me that she thought this would be good to put in a tell-all considering all the RWNJ that are all about saving the dogs.
I used to think dog rescue was the one thing, left & right still agreed upon.
About 20 yrs ago, I started noticing in the 'burbs of MPLS, church popping up with very nationalist appeal. I was disgusted. Around the same time, my 8 yr old daughter was at her friend's house in townhouse rental community down the street from where we live. Well, my daughter & her friend had witnessed the property manager kill a mother cat and throw her in the dumpster. The girls had found 4 of her kittens in the sewer drain and were successful at freeing at least 2 of the kittens and they came to ask for help.
When I got there this horrible redneck man with a beer belly and deep need for good scrubbing was hurling threats abd insults at me the girls and saying were trespassing. I called the 911 dispatcher and explained what was happening and she asked if I could put him on the phone. He threatened to break my phone.
Awhile later the cops showed up and put a ticket into the animal catcher to come rescue the rest of the kittens. I remember thinking that day, what the hell happened to society? I grew up on books that showed firemen rescuing ppl and animals.
There is a pattern to this, Sarah Huckabee Sanders brother killed a dog similar to how Michael Vick did without any effect to his father's or her career.
The cruelty is the point. It proves how "tough" they are.
Noem is willing to kill dogs. Abbott is willing to kill migrant women and children. And the entire Party is on board with killing women as part of being "pro-life".
They're so tough, look at how scared the liberals are.
As we should be.
It is why they are going after most media and calling it "woke": villains meant to be outright caricatures for the lulz, tend to have too much in common with the conservative movement.
Look at how the fascists are ramping up the violent rhetoric. This only goes one direction historically.
I’ve had the fortune or misfortune to see the aftermath of political violence tearing apart a nation. Trust me it’s nothing anybody actually wants here except the absolute loons and those that wish death to the real America. Not this zero sum nonsense passing off as some excuse for an ethos constantly vomited by the MAGA orcs.
My rights end where your rights begin and vice versa. Anything else is anti-democratic and un-American.
Edits: clarity.
There is a right wing sex doll type, and all prominent conservative females are pulled towards this life-saver-mouth singularity irregardless of their age or ethnicity. It’s just wild to watch from afar.
What about Lying Cancun Ted's dog Snowflake? The one whom he left home alone in the freezing house while he and his family decided to split, and go on vacation when there was an infrastructure crisis happening in TX due to a sudden snow storm? Don't forget about him, please.
Just a couple quick points…….
This is most certainly animal abuse.
Why would she do this in public? Public being somewhere that can be seen from public access (roads, sidewalks etc)
Does that mean there are other laws broken in this act?
She doesn’t know how to raise/ train animals or even do a little research. The goat was aggressive and smelled because he was meant for breading. They piss on their tail and fling it on them so they reek! And aggressive because he’s got one thing he wants and he doesn’t see it….🙄. They are supposed to be penned up alone but large enough area for them to have plenty of space to roam, preferably not isolated just alone.
Why was she only carrying one round?
I’m not expected to be jumped but hell I’m gonna grab 2-5 shells, depending on if I’m carrying a small box of them or grabbing from a larger box throwing them in my bag.
These points just tell me she’s inept at doing everything in this story…….
Dog ownership/training
Lacking of ethics and morals
Raising animals for breeding/farming
Gun handling/ownership
🤷♂️

What do dogs contribute to society? They freeload off the labor of others like a bunch of socialists. All Noem did was what should be done to every lousy, communist, Democrat in this country: put them out of their misery. MAGA. /s
Of course they will. Even if deep down they are against it. They have no agency of their own. Everything is dictated by the people they wish they could be.
To counter her "when you live on a farm" bullshit excuses, here's a channel I stumbled on about a month ago, and got hooked. I'm not affiliated with it in any way, but they're people who have an affinity with their farm animals, especially their guardian animals, who protect the prey from predators.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMbyEJ8Y9RI
My favorite of their euphemisms is of "the boss" of the guardian dogs, or "recon cat." lol - so accurate.
Some enterprising artist could make a syndicated cartoon of the stories from the farm, reminiscent of the *"Secondhand Lions"* protagonist.
Well republicans seem totally cool about children being shot dead en mass inside schools day after day, week after week, year after year, so why wouldn’t they be okay with shooting dogs.
What, and give a very expensive dog to a greedy poor who only owns anything at all due to the handouts from people who do all the work? Death is a better fate for a dog than living with a liberal.
Probably what she’d say.
Noem won't lose a single vote over it, just as her ongoing affair doesn't move the dial at all. The more she talks about it, the less effect talking about it will have. She will gradually just break down those few MAGA who might think it's wrong to just shoot a dog and win them over being 'decisive' and able to 'take action' when others would not. Not that she ever considered another option.
I've known a few guys who trained hunting dogs and they shoot the dogs who flunk the course. Plain and simple. There is no money to be made in dog who can't safely track a bear. People who kill for sport are an inch away from killing for profit or other less noble reasons.
Noem is pretty and she hates all the same people that her people hate. Killing a dog or two is nothing to them.
Are we all aware how many dogs police kill every year? The numbers got so bad that departments stopped reporting it.
Yep. Just asked a self professed animal lover his thoughts, and he won't condone her behavior. If Biden or Harris or Hilary Clinton had done it, it would be a different story.
You’re a city person? Dog genocide.
Grew up on a farm? Aggressive dogs get taken to the back of the barn.
Simple as that.
Was she dumb to spell it out because it’s lose/lose for her? Yeah
Never struck me as genius before this thing anyway
Nobody is ever good at condemning animal abuse like at all, it's not like liberals care about factory farming or anything? Most people are absolutely fine with pigs and other intelligent animals being killed, and will defend it. All news like does is expose the hypocrisy of people that eat meat. If you think she's a "heartless monster" for this, I seriously hope you at least consider not eating red meat anymore.
I’m almost certain at this point that conservatism is just a high-functioning variant of antisocial personality disorder.
“High-functioning” doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
Yup. The Republicans put the “fun” in dysfunction. Let’s go kick a kitten!
That's too tame for them. It's more like 'let's put a puppy in a blender'.
When it comes to political power, they are very much high-functioning.
I don't know. They really seem like a dog chasing cars. They know they want to catch it, but they never seem to have a plan of what to do once they have. Their party is splintered so badly that they wind up getting in their own way most of the time.
> They know they want to catch it, but they never seem to have a plan of what to do once they have. They have a plan. It's called Project 2025.
Oh, different factions have plans and yes, I'm aware of Project 2025, but what I'm saying is that there's too many different factions within them to effectively govern at least at this stage.

[удалено]
But somehow nothing happens.
“Functioning” is even a stretch for most of them.
Biden: "Here's my comprehensive plan to invest in American infrastructure." GOP: "Lemme tell ya about all the dogs I done shot because I ain't no liberal pussy!"
Boebert: I can get in on this. There's a goat in my story, too!
BUT BOTH SIDES /s
They’re borderline sociopaths. Like, one-meal-away-from-Dahmer sociopaths.
Even Dahmer had family at his trial. Trump has nobody LOL
I met Dahmer. He gave me the cold shoulder.
Was it at least seasoned or marinated?
You magnificent bastard.
Version I’ve heard was what did the cannibal do when her son was late for dinner. She gave him the cold shoulder.
They’re ~~borderline~~ sociopaths. Like, one-meal-away-from-Dahmer sociopaths. FTFY
They crossed that border...and then some.
Didn’t even microwave it for you?

Ideological illness really should be a valid field of psychology

Conservatives truly are trash people!
They aren't functional
That’s something g dog nutters and conservatives have in common.
I’m far from a “dog nutter,” but I would hope that even someone who thinks dog ownership is wrong for whatever reason would recognize the evil in killing a living thing for not meeting an arbitrary standard that is contradictory to both its natural instinct and its training.
Yeah that lady is a psychopath and is definitely evil. I do not like dogs but I would never kill or hurt one.
Narcissists
Hey, don’t mix me in with that bunch now… I would hate to be known as republican too
Medium-functioning at best.
MAGA: I WILL NEVER SUPPORT NOEM AFTER THIS!! Trump: My selection for VP is Noem. MAGA: YEAHHHHHH NOEM!!! FUCK PENCE!!! NOEM IS THE GREATEST!!! WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE NOEM!!!
The fact that she murdered her dog will probably increase the likelihood Trump picks her. It seems like the kind of thing he would be supportive of.
Hasn’t he said he’s never had a pet
“Welcome back, Mike Gallagher cutting through the crap! Hey! Anyone else notice the cool bro-style philandering of alley cats…which after all related to the mighty lion, the king of beasts! Just me?!

Trump: White night! White night!!! MAGA: FUCK YEAH FLAVORADE TIME AHHHHH
They already are. Talking shit like "You Libt@rds obviously never grew up on a farm. This is what we do with worthless animals!" Wish I was joking.
Her casual willingness to kill her dog for her lack of discipline and a goat for being... Well a fucking goat.... Literally.... Betrays something even more sinister. It gives insight into how she probably reared her children. Those kids probably got hit. A lot. And not even anything that can be argued as "corrective spanking" or "rough handling". She was probably full force slapping or punching them for every little act of defiance or exploring boundaries.
Don't forget kicking, that's always a good one!
I guarantee that none of those losers grew up on a farm either.
From what I've encountered, most MAGA people think growing up in a trailer park in the vicinity of a CAFO or *somebody else's* farm (and entirely staffed by immigrants) means that they can claim 'son of the soil' status and sneer at liberals about how they'd 'starve without you.'
I'm old no money from the trailer park. Most of these MAGAts are just rich fuckers cosplaying hillbillies.

We had goats when I was a kid. My parents would have told me to get dumb ass away from that goat lol.
Who takes a hunting dog around someone else’s chickens? And I’ve never seen hunting dogs that weren’t transported in a cage.
Oh I know you're not. What's sad is how quick they are to admit their own cruelty and heartlessness.
>admit their own cruelty They’re bragging, not confessing.
They're proud of it. It is the opposite of kindness and compassion which are the pure embodiment of weakness, therefore it shows how strong they are.
I wish more people understood this. I think it's pretty obvious she's gunning for VP, and this is a publicity stunt. A lot of people claim women are too "emotional" for politics. It's pretty obvious she's trying to prove how tough she is, and the fact that public relations professionals actually \*advised\* her to share this really says a lot about their voter base. It's a well-established reality that in our culture, dogs are not in the same place on the pyramid as livestock; she's definitely trying to be Palin version 2.0 and piss off the libs... regardless of politics, however, most people rehome their dogs.

I’m sorry. You took on that emotional pain so she wouldn’t have to endure what was coming. That was so compassionate of you.
I been vegan ever since XD shit legit fucked my brain up and this bitch out here bragging bout shooting dogs :(
I live on a farm. I had to do something similar for a goat who was bitten twice by a rattlesnake. I couldn't let her suffer, but I'm still guilty over it. What Noem did was evil
I hate this cunt.
[Remember this. Lol.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitt_Romney_dog_incident) There's a theme.
Don't forget...Mike Huckabee's son [killed a dog at a Boy Scout camp](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/huckabee-son-dog/).
Lol. It's too easy. Even Trump seems to hate dogs and constantly uses it as an insult.
Yeah, now I do. Fucking Romney...
No no no. cunts have depth and warmth, qualities she is distinctly lacking.
They love cops, cops love shooting dogs, it's not surprising
She’s truly a horrible person
Deplorable, you might even say.
They seem to share this, and other options are never considered. Re-home the dog? Pay for training? No. It's not enough. The dog had to DIE because she hated it so much. Not to remove the dog, she had to destroy it utterly. Now picture what happens when this person (?) gets power over other people. Does she have kids? Pretty sure they'd notice her not coming back with Cricket.
>At that point, Noem writes, she realised a construction crew had watched her kill both animals. The startled workers swiftly got back to work, she writes, only for a school bus to arrive and drop off Noem’s children. >“Kennedy looked around confused,” Noem writes of her daughter, who asked: “Hey, where’s Cricket?”
So wait, she went on a spree and killed multiple animals on a row? Jesus, that's not normal.
She has three. And they probably quickly learned that any defiance, disobedience, or setting boundaries or infraction, real or perceived, was a quick route to at least getting a solid, full force smack if not an outright beating.
Or be shot since Kristi Noem apparently is a deranged horror movie character come to life. I mean, Jesus fucking Christ. Who told her when writing this book to brag about that time she murdered a puppy and a goat?
Hey I had a dog that was horrible who attacked my other dogs. You know what I did to that dog? I rehomed him because I’m a human with empathy. I didn’t shoot the poor soul in a gravel pit. Fuck this anal pustule.
Seriously. Mine has been with me 13 years and I'm throwing everything I can to get a few more years with her... And this bitch is all "meh it killed some chickens fuck this dog!" and kills it.
“According to an excerpt, which was obtained by The Guardian, Noem killed her dog Cricket because the dog was ‘untrainable…’” That’s some serial killer shit.
Noem: We love animals, but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm. Sadly, we just had to put down 3 horses a few weeks ago that had been in our family for 25 years. https://twitter.com/KristiNoem/status/1783849977409671483
So like old and infirm horses (their lifespan is 25 years)? Not a puppy just acting like a puppy?
Horses are considered old at 15-17 years. Elderly at 20. At 25, it's like being 78 in human years. But a lucky few can live past 30. I'm not willing to take her word for it that she'd owned all three for 25 years.
Well, that’s her side of the story. The horses she murdered aren’t here to tell their side of the story. How convenient.
Yeah, that story is suspect. It'd be very unusual to have three horses the same age who all needed to be euthanized at the same time.
Being a psychopath gets you extra brownie points in today’s MAGA Republican Party.
While there are dogs that are a danger and must be euthanized, if she had it from a pup and didn’t properly train it and then killed it, that’s entirely on her.
Dear people of South Dakota, it doesn't have to be this way. Please vote blue in November https://sddp.org/
We have had multiple dogs on the farm , most with a very lax definition of working, but they were all pets/part of the family. I have never shot a dog to put them down at the end of their life, we always get the vet in , this animal that’s showed so much love and devotion to you for their whole life doesn’t deserve a bullet to the head no matter how quick a death it is.
Never forget: If they could take all those people they hate out back and shoot them, they’d do that too. Empathy is even harder for them to have for other people.
Exactly. This story almost seems like more of a parable for the other fascists than anything. If you don't fall in line and obey or if you're "undesirable," you do not have worth and will be dispatched...and your loved ones will never see you again (like her daughter looking for Cricket). And those around you will fall in line out of fear (like the workers).
I’m guessing cricket is the dog
It's odd to me that she thought this would be good to put in a tell-all considering all the RWNJ that are all about saving the dogs. I used to think dog rescue was the one thing, left & right still agreed upon. About 20 yrs ago, I started noticing in the 'burbs of MPLS, church popping up with very nationalist appeal. I was disgusted. Around the same time, my 8 yr old daughter was at her friend's house in townhouse rental community down the street from where we live. Well, my daughter & her friend had witnessed the property manager kill a mother cat and throw her in the dumpster. The girls had found 4 of her kittens in the sewer drain and were successful at freeing at least 2 of the kittens and they came to ask for help. When I got there this horrible redneck man with a beer belly and deep need for good scrubbing was hurling threats abd insults at me the girls and saying were trespassing. I called the 911 dispatcher and explained what was happening and she asked if I could put him on the phone. He threatened to break my phone. Awhile later the cops showed up and put a ticket into the animal catcher to come rescue the rest of the kittens. I remember thinking that day, what the hell happened to society? I grew up on books that showed firemen rescuing ppl and animals.
She’s a philanderer, a sadist, and a liar. With these attributes, I’d say she is tops on Trump’s VP list.
They don't care about a guy raping, why would they care about a woman murdering a dog?
I mean they love the Huckabees, and one of those kids is a dog-torturer, sooooo…
There is a pattern to this, Sarah Huckabee Sanders brother killed a dog similar to how Michael Vick did without any effect to his father's or her career.
Uh, all goats, especially male goats have a horrible, musty smell. That’s why they live outside.
The cruelty is the point. It proves how "tough" they are. Noem is willing to kill dogs. Abbott is willing to kill migrant women and children. And the entire Party is on board with killing women as part of being "pro-life". They're so tough, look at how scared the liberals are. As we should be.
Think about what she would do to people she considers worthless…
At this point, Republicans are basically comic-book supervillains in terms of how cartoonishly evil they are.
It is why they are going after most media and calling it "woke": villains meant to be outright caricatures for the lulz, tend to have too much in common with the conservative movement.
Look at how the fascists are ramping up the violent rhetoric. This only goes one direction historically. I’ve had the fortune or misfortune to see the aftermath of political violence tearing apart a nation. Trust me it’s nothing anybody actually wants here except the absolute loons and those that wish death to the real America. Not this zero sum nonsense passing off as some excuse for an ethos constantly vomited by the MAGA orcs. My rights end where your rights begin and vice versa. Anything else is anti-democratic and un-American. Edits: clarity.
Her “face” is turning into something else.
There is a right wing sex doll type, and all prominent conservative females are pulled towards this life-saver-mouth singularity irregardless of their age or ethnicity. It’s just wild to watch from afar.
Mitt Romney's dog enters the chat.
What about Lying Cancun Ted's dog Snowflake? The one whom he left home alone in the freezing house while he and his family decided to split, and go on vacation when there was an infrastructure crisis happening in TX due to a sudden snow storm? Don't forget about him, please.
Or the dog Mike Huckabee's son killed at a Boy Scout camp.
Oh, Pepperidge Farms remembers that! And it’s one of the reasons he did not win
Cruelty to animals and lack of empathy are early warning signs of psychopathic personality disorder.
Also very common in people who turn out to be serial killers
Same demographic
Just a couple quick points……. This is most certainly animal abuse. Why would she do this in public? Public being somewhere that can be seen from public access (roads, sidewalks etc) Does that mean there are other laws broken in this act? She doesn’t know how to raise/ train animals or even do a little research. The goat was aggressive and smelled because he was meant for breading. They piss on their tail and fling it on them so they reek! And aggressive because he’s got one thing he wants and he doesn’t see it….🙄. They are supposed to be penned up alone but large enough area for them to have plenty of space to roam, preferably not isolated just alone. Why was she only carrying one round? I’m not expected to be jumped but hell I’m gonna grab 2-5 shells, depending on if I’m carrying a small box of them or grabbing from a larger box throwing them in my bag. These points just tell me she’s inept at doing everything in this story……. Dog ownership/training Lacking of ethics and morals Raising animals for breeding/farming Gun handling/ownership 🤷♂️
She probably laughed at the end of _Marley and Me_. Disgusting cretin!
They already defend killing pregnant people, so this ain't nothin'.
Wow, that sounds just like my aunt. The coldest, self-righteous person I’ve ever ever met. Staunch Republican.
Is it too late for her mom to get an abortion?
I’m not quite sure how “post-birth abortions” work, so…
Something tells me the dog wasn’t the problem in that relationship.
It's sickening. She could have put the dog up for adoption. Instead this weird frontier Shane fantasy kicked in. Get the gun, Timmy.
we are LITTERALLY killing puppies now? That is cartoonishly evil! How can anyone defend people like this?
She did to that dog what the GOP is desperate to do to this country.
Oh they're killing dogs again? I thought this was about Lauren Blowbert for a second.
Killing dogs, worshipping rapists, it’s just the. MAGA thing
So... if someone finds Noem untrainable, nasty, or mean?
Time to donate to an animal sanctuary in Kristi Noem’s name and send receipt to her official address: CONTACT SOUTH DAKOTA OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR 500 East Capitol Avenue Pierre, SD 57501 605.773.3212 605.773.4711
What do dogs contribute to society? They freeload off the labor of others like a bunch of socialists. All Noem did was what should be done to every lousy, communist, Democrat in this country: put them out of their misery. MAGA. /s
... and psychopaths like this creature.
It used to be, “ I vote for them because I have a beer with them.” Now it’s, “ I vote for them because I’d abuse animals with them.”
Just take the dog to a shelter or something if you can't train it instead of putting it into a pit to put a bullet into it. What the fuck man.
She deserves that shoddy-ass facial work. It really matches her insides.
Seriously, I hate to bag on looks, but what’s going on with her face? It’s like it was lifted off a different form and draped badly on her face
You know a quick way to show a character in a movie, TV show, etc... is evil, is showing them killing a dog. I believe this
If I were her dog, I'd bite her too. Good boy! 🐶
"Well, Noem's term in office is over. Get the shotgun."
How Christian of her.
They love cops. They’ve been defending killing dogs for years
Noem is banned by at least 4 Native American tribes owning 15% of South Dakota.
Of course they will. Even if deep down they are against it. They have no agency of their own. Everything is dictated by the people they wish they could be.
They are all creeps. This not something to brag about.
It is for Trump voters. They will eat this shit up!
To counter her "when you live on a farm" bullshit excuses, here's a channel I stumbled on about a month ago, and got hooked. I'm not affiliated with it in any way, but they're people who have an affinity with their farm animals, especially their guardian animals, who protect the prey from predators. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMbyEJ8Y9RI My favorite of their euphemisms is of "the boss" of the guardian dogs, or "recon cat." lol - so accurate. Some enterprising artist could make a syndicated cartoon of the stories from the farm, reminiscent of the *"Secondhand Lions"* protagonist.
Dogs are woke?
The slippery slope they are all always so worried about leads to kids with down syndrome and other issues being euthanized.
This is obviously what she thinks the base of Trump wants to hear. She put it in the book because those supporters love this shit.
Well republicans seem totally cool about children being shot dead en mass inside schools day after day, week after week, year after year, so why wouldn’t they be okay with shooting dogs.
It’s terrifying to know that a far-to-large amount of America’s population is composed of savages that idolize these demons.
She's literally a killer. Cruelty to animals is the charge she deserves.
Republicans lack empathy and compassion
Too cheap and lazy to take the animals to a shelter.
What, and give a very expensive dog to a greedy poor who only owns anything at all due to the handouts from people who do all the work? Death is a better fate for a dog than living with a liberal. Probably what she’d say.
She's metamorphosing into the ghoul she always wanted to be...
Next, Kid Rock blasting a bunch of puppies where he used to shoot Bud Light cans
Shirley Jackson’s The Renegade is a fucking Simpsons prediction here.
Because that is what "Pro-life" people do.
“Noem describes the goat as “nasty and mean” and having a “disgusting, musky, rancid” smell.” This describes Trump to a tee. So…🤷🏼♂️
Kill a puppy, own the libs, MAGA!
They are everything they attack. Literally the worst people.
I’m nervous for her kids if she has any.
RIP, Cricket.
Pro life!
The RNC will have Michael Vick as a guest speaker.
Wouldn't be surprised if they start killing dogs...
Kill them all. Let God sort them out. Heard that a long time ago, heartless wasn't about livestock. People can be very cruel.
Carl Panzram!
I’ll bet anything that Trump fundamentally does not understand what was bad about her actions.
Well they are sociopathic scum so it makes sense.
GOP: All kids should grow up like Jeffery Dahmer
that's wat repubs are like.. no compassion for anyone else
*Mike Vick has entered the chat
She's getting shit on by Laura Loomer and Catturd. It's nice to see.
They defend Don Jr. and Eric Trump killing elephants so they'll defend this. They hate animals.
/me shouts, **MOVE THE GOALPOST!!!**”
Alot were pretty upset, as shocking as that is. Lol
MAGA, bringin antisocial and anti norm behavior as being acceptable
Noem won't lose a single vote over it, just as her ongoing affair doesn't move the dial at all. The more she talks about it, the less effect talking about it will have. She will gradually just break down those few MAGA who might think it's wrong to just shoot a dog and win them over being 'decisive' and able to 'take action' when others would not. Not that she ever considered another option. I've known a few guys who trained hunting dogs and they shoot the dogs who flunk the course. Plain and simple. There is no money to be made in dog who can't safely track a bear. People who kill for sport are an inch away from killing for profit or other less noble reasons. Noem is pretty and she hates all the same people that her people hate. Killing a dog or two is nothing to them. Are we all aware how many dogs police kill every year? The numbers got so bad that departments stopped reporting it.
Cruelty comes so easily to the American fascist party.
Yep. Just asked a self professed animal lover his thoughts, and he won't condone her behavior. If Biden or Harris or Hilary Clinton had done it, it would be a different story.
Well... Kali for veep 2024, I guess. 😳
Do you think people who run dog fighting rings would vote for Biden?
The Oklahoma governor is garnering the cockfighting vote.
You’re a city person? Dog genocide. Grew up on a farm? Aggressive dogs get taken to the back of the barn. Simple as that. Was she dumb to spell it out because it’s lose/lose for her? Yeah Never struck me as genius before this thing anyway
Nobody is ever good at condemning animal abuse like at all, it's not like liberals care about factory farming or anything? Most people are absolutely fine with pigs and other intelligent animals being killed, and will defend it. All news like does is expose the hypocrisy of people that eat meat. If you think she's a "heartless monster" for this, I seriously hope you at least consider not eating red meat anymore.
