    She’s doing a twisted admixture of “the cruelty is the point” and “I think I’m a badass who can make the hard choices” with this sociopath bullshit.

    Sadly it will appeal to a certain type of voter.

      David Brooks and the rest of the NYT editorial board will be totally behind puppy murder in a week, and I’ll have to hear my liberal friends both sides it…

    Republicans are now the pro-dog killing party lol. If there’s one thing you can depend on Republicans to do, it’s make the dumbest choice imaginable in any given situation.

    It’s kinda amazing that our political discourse has gotten to the point where people will double down on anything. I feel like if a Republican presidential candidate got caught molesting a child the next big push from the party would be lowering age of consent.

        Yeah I saw. Poor timing and a bit of wishful thinking on my part.

              IIRC the victim was 13 at the time so the GQP might need to play with the numbers a bit

      Did you know a number of states have fought efforts to raise the age of consent or marriage with parental approval?

        See, now I was to an extent kidding, but if you go back to /all there’s an article right there that I’d almost be tempted to say was poor timing on my part.

      It’s not so much about the puppies. It’s killing anything that doesn’t respect your authority. It could be a puppy, a kitten, a rabbit, a minority, anything…the important thing is that your unearned status is protected through fear and force.

    She should open a pet store where you bring your existing pet and then she just shoots it and tells you why she had to.

    I mean, by all accounts, Commander is a problem and biting staff repeatedly wouldn’t fly anywhere but the White House, but the answer isn’t shooting him in the backyard. She’s a fucking psychopath. I shouldn’t be surprised that she’s decided to double down on dog murderer as a good quality.

    Guys, I wouldn’t vote for her if I were you. I’m pretty sure if she wins she’s going to kill everyone’s dog

        Someone needs to start buying billboard ad space and make them say “Kristi Noem wants to kill YOUR dog”

    Substitute her arguments about a “working dog” for a minority person. Because you hear it all the time in rural areas and her home town…

    “Joe Biden’s dog has attacked 24 Secret Service people,” and that’s what I call praxis

    Commander said ACAB

      How many non-secret service people have been bitten by Commander? If the answer is zero, what do these secret service people do to antagonise Commander?

    Commander was sent to an undisclosed location after the Secret Service recorded 24 biting episodes involving him between October 2022 and July 2023, about half of which required medical attention.

    The South Dakota governor, who had been widely seen as a contender to be former President Donald J. Trump’s running mate, wrote in the book about a female wire-haired pointer named Cricket that she had hoped to use to hunt pheasant on her ranch. She said that the dog proved “untrainable,” “dangerous to anyone she came in contact with” and “less than worthless” as a hunting dog — so she shot her in a gravel pit.

    In the CBS interview, Ms. Noem sought to defend the killing of Cricket — and a goat she also shot the same day — as “a choice I made over 20 years ago” to “protect people.”
