The South Dakota governor, who is a Trump VP aspirant, admits in her forthcoming book to shooting her puppy and goats. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2024/apr/26/trump-kristi-noem-shot-dog-and-goat-book

Kristi Noem, doubles down on killing her family's animals, posting on Twitter/X: "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."

@w7voa I don't think killing 3 senior horses is the defense she thinks it is. She shot the goat. It didn't die so she transported it to a different location and shot it again. She's no better than the sadists who throw puppies and kittens in tied bags off bridges into rivers or lakes. She shot the dog because it was acting like an untrained puppy. She's an awful human.

@w7voa A 25 year old horse at the end of its life vs. a 14 mo. old puppy. Yeh, Kristi... Exactly the same.

@w7voa Wait a minute. Animal cruelty is not legal on farms. Shooting a dog because you fail to train and socialize it is cruelty.

PennyG,

@w7voa isn’t cruelty the point with these MAGA supporters?

Gotta love the "Pro-Life" crowd that can't be aghast by the killing of the "unborn" while defending the murder of a disruptive puppy.

By coincidence, I kid you not, Minnesota Governor Walz just sat down next to me at breakfast and I showed him the response his social media rebuttal to South Dakota Gov. Noem about killing dogs received here on Mastodon.

I sure hope so.

Kristi Noem has survived a infidelity scandal, a nepotism scandal, a superspreader pandemic event scandal, the misuse of the National guard scandal, civil rights violations scandals, and campaign finance scandals.

Something has to stick eventually.

Noem is a perfect Rep politician with all these scandals. The more compromised a person is, the more useful and pliant they are to the big money behind the .

The RW media machine will overwhelm any scandal, so they win. The real blackmail power is that the machine will turn on them. Hasn't Trump taught us that?

As for VP pick, no. Noem would take too much attention away from Trump. Look for another boring nobody, like Pence.

@TCatInReality @w7voa

Noem's book containing the "I shot my dog" story seems allegorical, as in "This is what will happen to you if you fail to obey."

It's meant as an audition tape for the anti-democracy corporations and billionaires funding the GOP and other attacks on democracy.

Megadonors are looking for a pliant yet vicious VP to take over when Trump has a stroke, heart attack, or starts drooling.

@Npars01 @w7voa
Yes, Noem's "I shot my dog" story was obviously intended to project a violence-based strongman persona.

Not reason, training, patience, just strict "my way/highway" violence.

Fortunately, the story was about a pet - and so all people could see how abhorrent the approach is. But if the story involved, migrants or liberals or LGBT, then she be the toast of the right.

@w7voa Not shooting puppies is woke, I guess.

    @thepoliticalcat @w7voa This is GOLDEN. 🐾

    Noem is a complete lunatic and a sadist to boot and should be nowhere near elected office of any kind.

    Well, it's April 2024 and I feel it's time for me to admit to an unbroken 34 year long streak of a Politically Correct Gun Dog training method of not making any of my dogs pay for my personal failures by shooting them in the head.
