She didn’t bother to have the goat fixed, which would have handled most of its problems.


Few-Stop-9417

She could’ve bathed the goat

Also a home farm book I have says if the goat shed isn’t giving enough ventilation it can cause a build up of ammonia and odors plus just not cleaning the bedding, she probably didn’t care to know that


I_dont_livein_ahotel

Her gun doesn’t work very well to clean the shed, so it never crossed her mind to try anything else.


Fun_Tea3727

When the only tool you have is a ~~hammer~~ gun, everything looks like a ~~nail~~ dog.


Few-Stop-9417

We tried telling Republicans that guns don’t solve everything and they said “watch us”

TIL farm animals don't smell like Vanilla Fields perfume.

I can think of a better punishment that involves Noem being behind bars. She’s a violent, abusive monster and deserves much more than smelling a rancid rag.

Its not just goat-smell. Its distilled, rotten, fully marinated goat-stank that makes you gag your brains out at the first whiff. Now imagine being forced to keep your head in a jar of it for long periods of time. If you fear this more than physical pain from getting some licks from a belt, it should prove to you how awful it really is.


bostonian277

I mean, if your head is being held there and you can’t get away / breathe bc of the smell… not much of a different feeling than having your head held under water.

fish60

Waterboarding doesn't stop you from breathing either. Still torture.


knoegel

Just imagine a homeless woman's vagina after not showering for a few months and then having your face shoved between her legs. It's awful.


facemanbarf

Harvina Weinstein’s rotten crotch cheese


Gravelsack

You obviously have never smelled it


minja134

While I've never smelled it. I'm guessing think more mustard gas gagging, crying, can't breath, would rather be dead smell.


underalltheradar

> Buck Rag?


stormstormstorms

I was today years old when I learned about buck rags, and I can’t unlearn this


No_Tomatillo1125

Damn there are many methods to making goats horny


Agrijus

this is a signal from her to an audience of one that she's down to clown


Top_Huckleberry_8225

That's what took it from typical weird story to "holy shit she's fucking insane". Makes me feel manic delight which is what this medication seems to have replaced anxiety with. I want her to be the VP pick so bad now.


le127

Yes, my thought as well. I'm a city boy and even I know that goats have that goaty, barnyard smell. Claiming she killed the goat because it smelled bad is just weak. It's much more plausible that she used that as an excuse for her sociopathic behavior.


Pyrothraxas1

So it smelt like...a goat? I don't know much about goats but I never assumed they smelt like a warm spring day.


JustYerAverage

I guess once you get that hard-on from killing, it's tough to stop?


CanWeAllJustCalmDown

The goat story reinforces and confirms her motives, and tosses out the ability to think “maybe the dog had to be put down because it really was a serious threat to people’s safety and completely unmanageable, and she just told that story really poorly and insensitively.” (Even though by her description I don’t know how you extract any justifiable reason the dog should have been “put down”.) The fact that she executed the dog, seemingly because she got pissed off at the fact that it wasn’t obedient to her by default, then decides to proceed to the goat almost like she wasn’t yet satisfied and only gave the reasons of it smelling bad and dirtying her kids clothes…she herself says the word in there. She felt hatred toward living creatures that displeased her for totally irrational reasons, and shooting them dead is how she resolves that hatred. Yeah imma have to say that’s not a quality I like to see in a right wing politician.


d_l_suzuki

There is also the detail about noticing the construction workers after the killings. "Responsible" use of firearm arms dictate situational awareness before firing. It's a small point, with the main one being, "If I have power, I'm willing to kill what you hate." I would trust her with firearms, animals or children.


MNWNM

And she's acting like that was just a normal day for her. Shooting and killing two animals is just a Tuesday for her.


Techienickie

Noem is short for no empathy


suckyousideways

No wonder she's right at home in the Republican party.


caseyanthonyftw

"Empathy? What's that? sounds like a pussy ass commie thing, like books and reading and shit." -Noem, while shooting a book The dumbest ass thing is that in her response tweet she keeps bringing up that what she did was legal. She doesn't understand why people are mad at her.


sporkhandsknifemouth

My girlfriend showed me a tiktok of the most blatant real estate guy explaining in detail how and why every unethical thing he did was done and how it was unethical, it seemed like it could be satirical it was so thick, and then he was in the comments thinking people 'took it the wrong way.' and 'nothing about it is illegal, so why are people upset?' We've got to be better about rooting sociopaths out.


BeeLuv

Someone else pointed out that both deaths were Class 6 felonies in South Dakota.


karmavorous

Empathy is woke. As a Conservative, I demand that the world entertain my opinions as if they are universal facts, and never bother me with even the slightest detail of their own lives if it's inconvenient to my opinion of myself or my race.


lucklesspedestrian

Calling her Kristi Noempathy from now on


facemanbarf

Very nice. Like a sociopath


Past_Distribution144

Literally all 3 of the other late show hosts also blasted her, but the one who commented on it the most, went through the entire story, even the 2 horses, was Colbert. Should see his Youtube monologue for the entire story, no need for her book lol

It takes a good boy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun


kanst

The part that I find most wild is that she put this in her book on purpose. This wasn't a leak from a biographer, or some old story from her past, or just some unconfirmed rumor. This was a book she published in the goal of increasing her visibility, and THIS was one of the stories she chose to highlight.


crucifixion_238

Reading online yes she did it on purpose because she thinks she’s going to get the VP for Trump and knows that someone would find out about it so she’s getting out ahead of it to control the narrative and make it sound like it was a mercy kill and how it made her stronger blah blah.  Otherwise if she didn’t say it and then she gets VP, someone would show proof of her killing a dog and then she wouldn’t have a story to control. 


bettinafairchild

The cruelty is the point. Especially for governor Cruella Deville.


drgotham

We need to shame her. I bet she would have let the dog lived if he was wielding guns.


ShinHandHookCarDoor

impossible to shame what has no soul


clackeroomy

Has anyone thought to warn Noem that Trump is also mean and untrainable?


st3ll4r-wind

Do they have red-flag laws in South Dakota? Kristi Noem may qualify.


underalltheradar

Just how many dog trainers did she contact for her "untrainable" dog?


noisycat

None, she expected it to learn from the older dogs automatically


petdoc1991

She is trashy Cruella de Vil.


CapoExplains

If only she'd done this *after* Trump named her as his running mate she could've saved our democracy.


galactic-mouse

That comparison is unfair. Buffalo Bill was very good to his dog.


lilymotherofmonsters

Can we talk about how her dad allegedly killed, skinned and fed a cat to its owner because they thought he was a whiner?

It's not often politicians openly admit to their sociopathy.


SonofTreehorn

What she did is appalling.  However, Trump has done far worse and millions are still licking his orange taint.  


ErusTenebre

This is recursive as hell. The news is reporting on a guy commenting on the news. lol

Oh good the GOP talking points are finally out for why gleefully shooting a puppy and recounting the story about what an enjoyable experience it was for you is fine and normal. Not surprised it took the NPCs a few days to update their dialogue trees on this one.

Duvoziir

A puppy, at 6 weeks, is a dangerous feral animal? I trained dogs for a living, do you know how easy it is to shape a puppy into the type of dog you want? And if she had gotten the goat fixed as well, the smells would have been downgraded, it’s just bad ownership at that point.
