Kristi Noem’s dog story was a political calculation. MAGA puts great stock and value in being politically incorrect. What greater way to show how politically incorrect and tough you are than by admitting you shot your dog in the face?
Noem included this story in her book because she believed there was a constituency for it. Noem believed the MAGAts of America would love this story of a rebel against conventional thinking and political correctness. In that calculation it appears that she might be wrong, but that was the calculation she made. She may have miscalculated, but it was a political calculation.
Cricket died just sitting there as his master shot him in the face, still trusting and loving his master through the very end. In that, Cricket may be a metaphor for MAGAs everywhere. One can hope.
Traitor Trump, among his many mental defects, is a lifelong misogynist. If he chose a woman for a running mate, she would attract far too much attention away from HIM, and he could never abide that. As for the troll above, just ignore it.
We know that serial killers who tortured their victims started with animals. Noem, like any loyal obedient wanting-to-please MAGAt, is just letting her master know that she is ready to do the same to any human who displeases the demented Fat Orange Clown (aka the FOCer).
A puppy that engages in killing chickens or attacking other farm animals may be trained not to do so. If this behavior persists after the puppy transitions to maturity, then it MAY be justifiable to execute it. But it could also be taken to an adoption place. And did you, Mr/Ms Owner, put forth adequate effort in training the puppy? If not, whose fault is it for that behavior?
A puppy acquired as a hunting animal, but who does not meet its owners standards for that purpose, CAN be put down. But is failure to demonstrate an innate ability to serve as a hunting dog (to its owners satisfaction) justification for doing so? Certainly not in my opinion.
trump could indeed choose Noem. She’s as ruthless as he is; as vicious and as brutal as he is.
In the book, Noem also writes that her family also owned a “nasty and mean” male goat that smelled bad and liked to chase her kids. She decided to go ahead and kill the goat, too. She writes that the goat survived the first shot, so she went back to the truck, got another shell, then shot him again, killing him.
Bill Barr has claimed Donald Trump often suggested executing his political rivals during heated moments of his four-year tenure in the White House.
Former White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin told The View back in December that Mr Trump once called for a staff member to be put to death for leaking a story about the then-president going down to a bunker during Black Lives Matter protests in summer 2020.
Barr also says he will vote for murderous Trump again. Anti Constitution republicans are insane.
Boy, troll rustyplates 69 is one goofy bugger. If he was my kid and he went missing, well, you wouldn’t see his face on a milk carton, if you know what I mean.
‘Brutality is the point’: Conservative blames Kristi Noem’s horror story on modern day GOP
Sykes told “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, “I think that is the most extraordinary part about all of this — that she thought this would be a plus for her. Look, this book is a campaign book. It is a resume to be Donald Trump’s vice president. And she thought it was a good idea to include this story —let’s tell this short about myself, how I took this puppy and shot him in the gravel pit.”
The conservative journalist continued, “So, why would she have done this? The obvious explanation is she thought that Donald Trump would like it. She thought that this would be a net-positive for her. I could imagine her buddy Corey Lewandowski saying, ’No, put it in, Kristi, because you know that Donald Trump wants the people who are willing to do the tough, dirty, nasty things that are necessary.”
Sykes went on to say that, “This does say a lot, that Kristi Noem put this in the book and did not think it would be a net negative in the mind of Donald Trump.”
Sykes argued, “Why would she have thought that? Well because, increasingly, brutality is the point — not just cruelty, but brutality. Donald Trump has a fetish for this. He talks about shooting shoplifters, extrajudicial murders of drug dealers.”
Scarborough didn’t disagree with Sykes’ explanation. The former GOP congressman, also a Never Trump conservative, lamented that Noem’s anecdote underscores, “The grotesqueness of the conservative movement” in the age of Trump.
Did she at least feed it a final meal, a hamberder, before its execution. Just morbidly curious, did the carcass go into a landfill or was left for the scavengers?
Evangelical Pastor Rains Holy ’ell On Trump Bible: ‘Blasphemous’ And ‘Disgusting’
Then he said, “When you don’t read and pray. You say, ‘Wow, there’s a Bible out now that includes the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, isn’t that wonderful?’ No, no. It’s disgusting. It’s blasphemous. It’s a ploy.”
“Are you kidding me? Some of you are so encouraged by that. Let me tell you something. The gospel is not an American gospel. It is the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ,” Livingston added. He didn’t name the Trump Bible explicitly, but his references were apparent.
It should be as easy with the Loser-Man who murdered sleep, Made America Ridiculous Again, brought foul language into your newscast, befouled even the Bible …

Again, give the animal away.

South Dakota is a state with fewer people than Indianapolis, yet it has two senators, three members of Congress, and a dog-killer for a governor.
