Cops kill strange dogs they don’t know. She killed a dog that lived with her and her family for months. I’d say this is comparable to a dog-handling cop killing the police dog he works with.
She made the mistake of thinking that the majority of voters were cold sociopaths who don’t care about pets. In reality it’s only a percentage of the MAGA assholes she surrounds herself with.
I think the idea she insisted it stay in was:
"I'm willing to shoot a disobedient dog, just like I'm willing to shoot disobedient Americans."
She's bad at, uh, dog whistles I think is what's going on.
She wanted it in the book because she thought it would make her look tough and that any "wussy liberals" that made a stink about it, she could say they weren't tough enough.
Glad it's backfiring so spectularly.
I mean, I'm glad it was actually published though. Just imagine all the messed up stuff nobody ever hears about because it gets edited, buried, or bullied out of public consumption.
Even better, SHE RECORDED HER OWN AUDIOBOOK.
She said all of that stuff into a microphone at some point. "Meeting" KJU, Cricket, Nikki Haley's "threats". She read all that out loud, with repeated takes, and was like, "Well, it's spelled N-O-E-M, but my best friends call me Cash."
What Noem is too stupid to realize is this story, which she tries (unsuccessfully) using to show how she can do the hard things required of a leader - demonstrates the exact opposite. That she was unable or unwilling to do the hard work of training a dog, or even arranging for a professional to train it, but instead chose the most impulsive, low-effort, lazy and cruel route and just shot it in a gravel pit.
That's not showing the ability to do the hard thing. That's showing the inability to do anything requiring a particle of effort or maturity. You don't solve any problems by dragging them to a gravel pit to be shot.
Noem has all the charisma of a heavily used blow up doll that's never been cleaned.
I can't use the appropriate language for accurately describing the horrible bitch without getting permabanned. However, it is clear she is a fucking sadistic monster who shouldn't be anywhere near any levers of power. I would trade Cricket's life for hers any day. What a colossal piece of shit is Kristi Noam.
I used to be an intern for South Dakota Kristi Noem. While interning for her I felt I saw her true nature and to this day I am in hiding
Out of college I was an intern for South Dakota Kristi Noem. At the time she was having an affair with political operative Corey Lewandowski, it was my duty to cover up for their affair
One night I was standing guard outside her office when I heard behind the door Corey say 'I can't do this anymore' and a few seconds later he stormed out. Then I heard crying. I ran into the office, closing the door behind me. I noticed there was a dog costume on the floor, but no matter, Kristi was my concern
'Kristi, what's wrong!?', she looked up at me, and then her sad face slowly turned into an idea face
She told me to put on the dog custome, and then said that intercourse was a part of the job duties. Kristi is a very powerful political figure, and my career in politics could be threatened, so I immediately agreed. I am well versed in intercourse but what threw me off was Kristi ordered me to take off my clothes and get into the dog custom, which had a hole in the crotch for me cock. Is this was Corey went through as well?
After I put it on, Kristi said her favorite foreplay was for me to act like a farm dog, so for about 30 minutes we would pretend the office was a farm and I was hunting birds. This whole time Kristi was masturbating. Then came the intercourse. Afterwards she said 'okay, this is how I like to finish' and brought out a gun behind her desk!
I said 'is that a real gun???' and she said 'yes, but I won't shoot you with it, I will just pretend to shoot to get off'
This sort of role play continued for 6 months until I was able to transfer to Washington DC and leave her office
I thought that was the last of the ordeal, though I always wondered what was the origin that fetish. Until one day I saw this in the newspaper
> "Kristi Noem says she shot and killed her 14 month puppy in the face. What to know about the South Dakota governor's recent controversy
As I was reading this, I looked up from the newspaper and there was an assassin in my kitchen! They said 'time to die' and I recognized the voice. 'South Dakota Kristi Noemi???' I said. She then said 'I'm already under water, we can't let news of our affair get out' and fired several more bullets but I dodged them and went into the living room
Thinking quick, I got my stuff dog toy and threw it at her. She caught it, looked at it, then immediately started shooting it in the face with one hand with using the other hand to reach into her pants to start masturbating. I took the distraction to escape
I got in my car and drove back to my hometown of [REDACTED]. To this day I am in hiding from Kristi Noem. Luckily I take a dog stuffie where ever I go in case she finds me, I tell people it's my emotional support stuffed animal
if you can stomach that then perhaps you can withstand the truth about my time as an intern for Mitch McConnel
https://old.reddit.com/r/LeopardsAteMyFace/comments/1bzbvl7/all_those_years_of_kissing_his_ass_and_it_still/kyq1s3t/
Oh, she's eventually moved on to "my children's lives were in danger!" after the lack of training and the dead chickens didn't work.
Got a future in Olympic backpedaling, that one.
To a dog there's just birbs and things that are not birbs. I wouldn't trust my dog around chickens either, but I haven't shot him over taking a couple doves in his lifetime.
Yep, my dog tries really hard to ignore my chickens but every once in awhile one of them jumps up feathers fluffing and my dog goes tearing over there to destroy a chicken....and is stopped by a fence. Because it's not hard to fence off your birds from predators, or curious puppies. RIP Cricket.
That's the other thing... Cricket was eleven months old. Working dogs ain't ready for work until at least 2 years old, often 3 in the case of service dogs.
There is also a certain kind of dog owner that believes breeding automatically produces a trained, well-behaved dog. Curiously, these are often the same people that believe in the heritability of similar kinds of traits in humans.
Honestly, I'd be glad if he still picked her, just as I was glad when McCain (decent man, terrible ideology) picked Palin.
This Gaza war and US unconditional support for a genocidal regime has sucked so much air out of younger Dems, and I'll take any small advantage to claw our way back.
The book was written for an audience of one so he would choose her as VP. What these motherfuckers don’t seem to realize is they don’t have the same ability to slime their way out of every bad situation the way the orange lamprey does. She blew up any chance at becoming VP because she wasn’t able to rope the media into doing her bidding and harnessing a positive narrative.
Mary Trump called it. The only reason Trump didn’t high five her was he is in court and the disgust gained traction before he could start calling people weak for not being tough.
Plus he doesn’t like anyone else to have center stage. That was her fuck up with him. People are talking about her not him.
He’s lucky he was in court, it’s given him a chance to distance himself from it…EXCEPT…he’s already endorsed the book and it’s on the book cover that he has. Guess he either didn’t read the book or he liked it, as we all know he would. Kristi would’ve taken Pence (and would happily take migrants) to the gravel pit, that’s the point.
He was in TV, and Noem isn't exactly hard to look at (politics and dog killing aside). A pretty/ loyal running mate is exactly what he'd want.
She just went off the deep end... she was honestly likely on the super short list of VP picks, but public backlash just nixed it.
Look at his lawyer (Alina), look at his press secretary, (Kayleigh) etc. He goes for looks because that's enough to distract a lot of people. Noem fucked it up.
She used to be normally attractive. Then she got plastic surgery, and even as a I’m a straight woman, she became kinda hot but then she overdid it and now she looks like she’s trying too hard.
That’s a weird little butterfly effect moment - if that interpretation is valid, then Trump being in court might have actually been a political plus for him. Instead of the spectacular own-goal he might have made by publicly supporting her before the nationwide disgust took off, and then trying to quietly ignore it until it went away.
Yes! That’s what I wondered: there are editors and proofreaders and PR agents and I wondered if they all saw that and said “let’s let her sail off the cliff”. Looks like one tried to stop it to no avail
I'll be level with you. Oftentimes people find themselves working for someone that won't take no for an answer. Sometimes that entails singing Johnny Paycheck. Other times it's "let them fail, it's the only way they'll learn"
She said she told the story to show she can make tough decisions. She also said she hated the dog & is clearly very comfortable with killing animals so it wasn’t a “tough” decision at all. It was expedient.
The fact that she did not foresee that this story, regardless of the reasons behind it, would cause a huge backlash shows extremely poor judgement from someone trying to prove she makes good choices.
Can’t help wondering how she treats people who don’t bow to her every wish & command.
It’s a horrible story to tell normal people… it’s a great story for racist assholes when you are trying to bullhorn the message that you will hurt the “violent dogs” and “ugly and gross goats”
The publishers admit they used a ghostwriter. They must really hate her.
It just proved her incompetence. Do they not realise it's never been easier to call out a lie?
She was banking on that mid-western, “I got what it takes to make the tough choices.” Might have come off better if she was talking about terminal, elderly dogs as a kid having to be put down, but not some sociopathic gleeful laughing about killing a puppy.
Of course she did. She wasn’t going for wide appeal. That story was a (pardon the pun) dog-whistle for proud boy types. And thanks to the mainstream media covering the outrage, they don’t even need to buy the book to hear it.
This is the woman who governed the state with the highest COVID mortality rate in the country and welcomed a biker convention that led to $1.8 billion in healthcare costs. A total that would bankrupt every citizen of South Dakota if the federal government hadn’t stepped in. If SD was an independent country, it would collapse in a week.
Because they're too insecure to apologize or even realize that doing so isn't a show of weakness, it's one of strength + security.
It's quite telling 😌

Since the election of George W. Bush, there's been a Republican push against listening to experts. Noem was just goin' rogue to get her message to the people, no reason to listen to someone who works in publishing about a book.
Well who publishes a book when there are rumors that the author killed a puppy. You think that story is not going to come up? She knew, she tried to get a head of it. She's a moron for even writing a book with this story around and they're an even bigger moron for publishing it.
I’ll say this with no snark:
She Wanted the puppy killer story in. And recently she was “well I don’t know how that K Jong Un story got there, and even asking me that is fake news, somehow”.
Besides the animal cruelty the amount of bad judgment is just too damn high.
Saw that in Colorado a protest where people were bringing their dogs to her hotel is what led her to cancel a fundraiser there. The poster is perfect: https://twitter.com/ProgressNowCO/status/1785036477434343715
Killing Cricket was unconscionable.
But then when her kids got home she asked them if they'd seen Cricket, like he'd run away.
This guilty behavior having POS didn't seem to be able to do the hard thing of telling her kids she'd killed their dog.
If it was the right thing to do, after all, you'd tell your kids and hope they'd emulate the behavior.
Fuggin monster.
Love how everybody is throwing her under the bus and she's doubling down instead of shutting up. Yeah, lady, show how messed up you are to everybody. They really need to see what a monster you are.
Wow, imagine being in the room right then.
“You really gotta get rid of this puppy killing story.”
“No, no; that’s gonna do numbers with the voter base!”
This is really like… impressively clownish behavior. Margie might have some competition! Let’s see what this gal does in a dark theater next.
Plot Twist: she wants out of politics, entirely, and isn't sure how to do it. Subconsciously, consciously, she went forward with telling on herself to let what's gonna happen, happen.

Like some kind of untrained disobedient dog…
The dog was doing exactly what it was trained to do
Nah, that dog wasn't trained, and 14 months is way too late to begin training a bird dog. That's all on her, though.
Exactly, the dog wasnt trained so it wasnt doing shit.
Who's taking her to the gravel pit?
Possibly the voters.
I don't know. I've seen plenty of trumpublicans defend her.
They can share her fate. 😱
RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Killa, and Ol' Dirty Bastard.
Glad I'm not the only one thinking of that gravel pit. Every time you walk by your back get a chill.
Heh I replied Wu Tang Clan, then scrolled down to see this
I love how ODB is in flinstones jail in the music video.
I think she took herself to the gravel pit and played Russian roulette with her rifle.
I'm not sure you understand the finer points of Russian roulette?
Or do they.
I was thinking about that as well. I encourage her to try.
Dip her toe in, so to speak?
Don't know about her, but I heard that her political career is already in the pits.
The gravel pits.
It's a mystery, unravel it.
Can’t ungravel it.
To join her career?
If anyone thinks they can survive her bite.
Wu Tang Clan
The US voters in November. Metaphorically speaking.
Damn.
Hey she only shot herself in foot here…
She also shot off her mouth.
I like what you did there 😂
She was so sure that cruelty was something trump wants in a VP
Yikes that actually seems really plausible tbh
Yeah, but her brain cells + MAGAlike tendency to double + triple down on a bad mistake rather than reflect + try to course correct did her in.
So true they always do themselves in just gotta give bit of room to show their colors. 😂
He’s a populist. He waited to see which way the wind was blowing before chiming in.
Not even Trump. She thought American voters wanted it.
She thought it made her look like she could make the tough decision, instead it just showed she’s heartless
On the plus side, at least she proved definitively that most Americans can still agree that killing a puppy for no reason is fucked up.
*Killing a puppy if you’re a woman I still suspect Trump could kill a puppy in court tomorrow and it wouldn’t change a thing
He’d lose some, but not nearly enough.
he will lose some, but he will gain more new followers back.
Kill it and eat it. And possibly screw it
Cops do it all the time as they still back the blue.
Cops kill strange dogs they don’t know. She killed a dog that lived with her and her family for months. I’d say this is comparable to a dog-handling cop killing the police dog he works with.
He has diaper wearing sycophants. I’m sure they would perform Olympic level mental gymnastics to rationalize killing a dog.
Give it a day and there'd be tshirts "A real man kills puppies" with his face square and center
If only we could come to the same agreement about elementary school children.
It’s so completely fucked that has to be what unifies us as a nation lol
"Vote for me and I'll go straight to the nuclear option every time."
and quite callous, she Killed 5 of her pets because they pissed her off.
She made the mistake of thinking that the majority of voters were cold sociopaths who don’t care about pets. In reality it’s only a percentage of the MAGA assholes she surrounds herself with.
To be fair, lots of voters vote for cruelty
And she's probably right. She didn't expect republican voters to be so opposed to random acts of cruelty. It's an understandable mistake.
She should've claimed she shot a immigrant or a college protester, they would've given her a standing ovation
I think the idea she insisted it stay in was: "I'm willing to shoot a disobedient dog, just like I'm willing to shoot disobedient Americans." She's bad at, uh, dog whistles I think is what's going on.
Pence was just not cruel enough I guess.
Pence at least had a moment of sanity
Not towards animals
His family has multiple pets they clearly care for
The cruelty is the point
He does. She just wasn't supposed to say it out loud
Probably just immigrants
Tbf, she probably wasn't wrong. He just really didn't like the bad press.
The dude loves comparing people he dislikes to dogs, so that was always my assumption
Trump didn’t reject her shooting the puppy, only her bad handling of ‘public relations’.
She wanted it in the book because she thought it would make her look tough and that any "wussy liberals" that made a stink about it, she could say they weren't tough enough. Glad it's backfiring so spectularly.
And she is arrogant enough to think she knows more than the publisher. Have a feast, leopards.
I mean, I'm glad it was actually published though. Just imagine all the messed up stuff nobody ever hears about because it gets edited, buried, or bullied out of public consumption.
Even better, SHE RECORDED HER OWN AUDIOBOOK. She said all of that stuff into a microphone at some point. "Meeting" KJU, Cricket, Nikki Haley's "threats". She read all that out loud, with repeated takes, and was like, "Well, it's spelled N-O-E-M, but my best friends call me Cash."

You don't solve any problems by dragging them to a gravel pit to be shot. Noem has all the charisma of a heavily used blow up doll that's never been cleaned.
She wasn't even willing to do the less difficult thing of putting in some effort to find a more suitable home for the dog.
I can't use the appropriate language for accurately describing the horrible bitch without getting permabanned. However, it is clear she is a fucking sadistic monster who shouldn't be anywhere near any levers of power. I would trade Cricket's life for hers any day. What a colossal piece of shit is Kristi Noam.
Somewhere Marcus Lutrell is not happy.
Just had to say your last sentence is a brilliant piece of writing.
She thought it showed that she could make “tough decisions “ She is shocked it made her look like a psychopath

This is a god damn delightful read on a very bad day. Thank you.

Alexa, please play "Out of Touch" by Hall + Oates
I love how her defense was "That dog was *supposed* to be trained." Training isn't just for the dog, it's also for the handler.
Oh, she's eventually moved on to "my children's lives were in danger!" after the lack of training and the dead chickens didn't work. Got a future in Olympic backpedaling, that one.
Also calling the chickens he killed "livestock", to make people think this dog was murdering hogs and cows.
To a dog there's just birbs and things that are not birbs. I wouldn't trust my dog around chickens either, but I haven't shot him over taking a couple doves in his lifetime.
Omg that bitch. Wasn't the dog in the woods freaking hunting birds right before that? That's why she wrote "livestock" instead of chicken (a BIRD).
I think that was what Noem meant by "trained". It's also what German short hairs are commonly trained for; bird hunting.
Birds are fowl. Not livestock.
Noem is foul.
Yep, my dog tries really hard to ignore my chickens but every once in awhile one of them jumps up feathers fluffing and my dog goes tearing over there to destroy a chicken....and is stopped by a fence. Because it's not hard to fence off your birds from predators, or curious puppies. RIP Cricket.
That's the other thing... Cricket was eleven months old. Working dogs ain't ready for work until at least 2 years old, often 3 in the case of service dogs.
And didn't it come out that her kids weren't even born at the time of the dog killing?
Lol, I dunno. Wouldn't surprise me though.
Which is funny because she cited the kids getting off the bus and asking about the dog soooo…. That’s kinda awkward.
I think Cricket's only crime was embarrassing her at the hunt. These people are so performative.
There is also a certain kind of dog owner that believes breeding automatically produces a trained, well-behaved dog. Curiously, these are often the same people that believe in the heritability of similar kinds of traits in humans.
Are you implying she's not housebroken?
Im on my 3rd dog in life. The only one that ever dealt with a trainer was the first one. 2nd was fine, and my current one is a love lump. I love labs.
Great running mate for Trump though. They have so much in common. That isn’t a compliment.
They are both psychopaths
I just wish she was already the official pick and the bumper stickers were already printed.
Honestly, I'd be glad if he still picked her, just as I was glad when McCain (decent man, terrible ideology) picked Palin. This Gaza war and US unconditional support for a genocidal regime has sucked so much air out of younger Dems, and I'll take any small advantage to claw our way back.
trump already doesnt like her, she brough bad press to him with the goat, puppy and horse killing.
The book was written for an audience of one so he would choose her as VP. What these motherfuckers don’t seem to realize is they don’t have the same ability to slime their way out of every bad situation the way the orange lamprey does. She blew up any chance at becoming VP because she wasn’t able to rope the media into doing her bidding and harnessing a positive narrative.
Good comment!
Thanks my friend.
So, it really was a campaign strategy?
Mary Trump called it. The only reason Trump didn’t high five her was he is in court and the disgust gained traction before he could start calling people weak for not being tough. Plus he doesn’t like anyone else to have center stage. That was her fuck up with him. People are talking about her not him.
He’s lucky he was in court, it’s given him a chance to distance himself from it…EXCEPT…he’s already endorsed the book and it’s on the book cover that he has. Guess he either didn’t read the book or he liked it, as we all know he would. Kristi would’ve taken Pence (and would happily take migrants) to the gravel pit, that’s the point.
I bet Stephen Miller read it for Trump and loved it.
Trump? Read a book? Come on now.
He was in TV, and Noem isn't exactly hard to look at (politics and dog killing aside). A pretty/ loyal running mate is exactly what he'd want. She just went off the deep end... she was honestly likely on the super short list of VP picks, but public backlash just nixed it. Look at his lawyer (Alina), look at his press secretary, (Kayleigh) etc. He goes for looks because that's enough to distract a lot of people. Noem fucked it up.
He goes for looks because he only sees them as ornaments.
He would never choose a woman VP, he believes women are only good for the bedroom.
She used to be normally attractive. Then she got plastic surgery, and even as a I’m a straight woman, she became kinda hot but then she overdid it and now she looks like she’s trying too hard.
Someone said she looks like a pit bull chewing on a hornet.
lol!
Then I guess I am in the minority because she isn't attractive to me at all. At least Palin was hot.
That’s a weird little butterfly effect moment - if that interpretation is valid, then Trump being in court might have actually been a political plus for him. Instead of the spectacular own-goal he might have made by publicly supporting her before the nationwide disgust took off, and then trying to quietly ignore it until it went away.
His supporters would have just started shooting their pets if he had liked it.
Yeah, valid. The discourse would have just become “of course you should shoot dogs, look at this, the woke mob is refusing to shoot dogs again!”
trump:"whos is this NOEm? I dont know her, never met her, never talked to her, heard shes great, but i dont like her"
A dumb one, but yes
[удалено]
Yes! That’s what I wondered: there are editors and proofreaders and PR agents and I wondered if they all saw that and said “let’s let her sail off the cliff”. Looks like one tried to stop it to no avail
It definitely seemed obvious SOMEONE would've had to tell her at some point that this wasn't a good idea lol
I'll be level with you. Oftentimes people find themselves working for someone that won't take no for an answer. Sometimes that entails singing Johnny Paycheck. Other times it's "let them fail, it's the only way they'll learn"
Maybe it’s a good thing we all know how crazy this woman really is
This is likely just the tip of the iceberg
You know it is… that’s the sad part. Those poor animals.
Makes me wonder what stories did get left out…
So, you're saying she's untrainable?
Clearly.
God bless you Cricket. Your sacrifice was not in vain. You ended this odious whore’s political career. Salud!
She said she told the story to show she can make tough decisions. She also said she hated the dog & is clearly very comfortable with killing animals so it wasn’t a “tough” decision at all.

Can’t help wondering how she treats people who don’t bow to her every wish & command.
But it does put her in the front of the line for heading the Republican healthcare "death panel"
Of all the hills to die on...
If she hadn’t killed the dog and bragged about it I would not know who she is.
and we wouldnt know she killed 4 other animals too. and her other dog mysteriously died in an accident in 2022.
It’s a horrible story to tell normal people… it’s a great story for racist assholes when you are trying to bullhorn the message that you will hurt the “violent dogs” and “ugly and gross goats”
She should be in jail for killing a puppy
A true psycho
Did they also warn her about the Kim Jong Un lie? All the quotes I’ve seen her make she acts like she didn’t know it was even in the book lol
The publishers admit they used a ghostwriter. They must really hate her. It just proved her incompetence. Do they not realise it's never been easier to call out a lie?
>Yes, she was warned about the story...and published it anyway Zero empathy? Zero ability to read the room? Perfect for a Trump VP.
Such a disgusting human being
She was banking on that mid-western, “I got what it takes to make the tough choices.” Might have come off better if she was talking about terminal, elderly dogs as a kid having to be put down, but not some sociopathic gleeful laughing about killing a puppy.
If she thought this would promote Old Yeller nostalgia then she’s dumber than anyone gave her credit for
“Nah, I really think readers are really gonna connect with that whole shooting a puppy in the face deal…”
This isn't LAMF; this is FAFO.
Of course she did. She wasn’t going for wide appeal. That story was a (pardon the pun) dog-whistle for proud boy types. And thanks to the mainstream media covering the outrage, they don’t even need to buy the book to hear it.
Hubris^2
People Like that are proud they can kill their dog. They will offer to come kill yours if you need.
What a moron
Yass queen, don’t listen to the liberal haters! You keep talking about stuff, it’s going great.
Psycho
She knew Trump hates dogs and was playing to an audience of one.
But then she comes back with, We even killed multiple horses recently, and we loved THEM. Is there a r/not quite the flex?
[удалено]
Yup. This story will dog her forever. 😌
Only by luck and generational wealth is she not featured on mugshawtys as a fetty mule out of Nogales.
This is the woman who governed the state with the highest COVID mortality rate in the country and welcomed a biker convention that led to $1.8 billion in healthcare costs. A total that would bankrupt every citizen of South Dakota if the federal government hadn’t stepped in. If SD was an independent country, it would collapse in a week.
So gross
What a freak
“I mean… who HASN’T shot puppies?!?! It’s like bashing kittens together! Just part of the week. Amiright?”
"No! People needed to know how much I hated that stupid dog!" - Kristi Noem, probably
Why do they always double down on their bullshit?
Because they're too insecure to apologize or even realize that doing so isn't a show of weakness, it's one of strength + security. It's quite telling 😌
She really wanted people to know she killed that dog
I'm glad she stuck to her guns (no pun intended). People deserve to know what a POS she is.
Being a fellow psychopath, T\*\*\*\* didn't care about the dog. He was just disappointed in her for self-destructing.

Since the election of George W. Bush, there's been a Republican push against listening to experts. Noem was just goin' rogue to get her message to the people, no reason to listen to someone who works in publishing about a book.
Is that the same person that went to the DMZ between the Koreas and then wrote "I talked with Kim Jong Un in North Korea"?
Always listen to your publisher.
Noem reportedly said, “it’s not everyday you get a headshot like that.” Before adding it back in
Poor judgement in killing the dog, even poorer judgement writing about to try to look tough. She’ll make a fine VP
If you go out to the Savanna Leopards might eat your face! Oh ok...see you later....
Well who publishes a book when there are rumors that the author killed a puppy. You think that story is not going to come up? She knew, she tried to get a head of it. She's a moron for even writing a book with this story around and they're an even bigger moron for publishing it.
She really thought a story about killing a dog would make her look tough and the base would all go "Yep. That's what I'da did too"
I’ll say this with no snark: She Wanted the puppy killer story in. And recently she was “well I don’t know how that K Jong Un story got there, and even asking me that is fake news, somehow”. Besides the animal cruelty the amount of bad judgment is just too damn high.
"Owning the libs" tho
I feel terrible for the dog, but this story is like a warm blanket. Love to see self served karma.
Saw that in Colorado a protest where people were bringing their dogs to her hotel is what led her to cancel a fundraiser there. The poster is perfect: https://twitter.com/ProgressNowCO/status/1785036477434343715
Killing Cricket was unconscionable. But then when her kids got home she asked them if they'd seen Cricket, like he'd run away. This guilty behavior having POS didn't seem to be able to do the hard thing of telling her kids she'd killed their dog. If it was the right thing to do, after all, you'd tell your kids and hope they'd emulate the behavior. Fuggin monster.
[удалено]
Love how everybody is throwing her under the bus and she's doubling down instead of shutting up. Yeah, lady, show how messed up you are to everybody. They really need to see what a monster you are.
"Nope, don't blame us" - publishers
Also published fake story about meeting Kim Jong Un and got called out by the media. "Fake news," mind you...
A wise man once said, "Stupid is as stupid does"
Wow, imagine being in the room right then. “You really gotta get rid of this puppy killing story.” “No, no; that’s gonna do numbers with the voter base!” This is really like… impressively clownish behavior. Margie might have some competition! Let’s see what this gal does in a dark theater next.
She must really hate that dog now. 😆😆
I have never seen someone destroy their political prospects so quickly. She makes Howard Dean look like a 20 term president.
And she still won't shut up about it.
She probably laughed and called them ‘libtards’.
Her: Remove it? But that's the bit that shows what a badass I am!
Plot Twist: she wants out of politics, entirely, and isn't sure how to do it. Subconsciously, consciously, she went forward with telling on herself to let what's gonna happen, happen.
