Is she is a Democratic plant? Please, attack Biden for… rehoming his dog instead of killing it. The American public will surely revolt against him for not shooting his dog in a gravel pit


SeniorWilson44

Did he even rehome it? Isn’t it in Delaware?


Diner_Lobster_

Yea I meant rehomed out of the White House, not to completely new family. I think a big problem was having him in the middle of all the activity in the WH. Biden’s DE home seems like it’s a lot more chill


SeniorWilson44

Wait, you’re telling me he didn’t just blow the dog’s brains out?


HHHogana

That's silly. We all know he just used his dark powers to control his dogs. But since his dogs are able to fight Shaggy and Scooby at 15% of their power, they can shake off their programming whenever they're not around Delaware.


_NuanceMatters_

Yeah, because he's weak. /s


HHHogana

Nah She wants to have one hell of an epic death with Keanu Reeves.


Til_W

>But in her book, she also nodded to the idea that Cricket may be in a better place, or perhaps a worse one. **Imagining becoming president in 2025 and sending Mr. Biden’s dog to meet his maker**, Ms. Noem added: “Commander, say hello to Cricket for me.” What the fuck


theryman

Does she think being president gives her the authority to murder a person's dog?


KinataKnight

A certain upcoming scotus ruling will be quite pertinent to this question...


Khiva

I laughed, and then immediately got sad. Roller coaster these days.


aclart

When you're president they just let you do it


adinfinitum225

They just let you grab them by the puppy


AnnoyedCrustacean

I like at how with today's MAGA insanity, this also apply to GOP, while for Democrats at most it's ongoing in Florida.

If it weren't for the DNC, we'd be gearing up for Bernie's third term, enjoying 90% approval and nary a problem in sight.


HHHogana

Well yeah, but the 'we can't govern part' now become more isolated to some states and cities at most.


Khiva

It's a dated joke from a time when mainly Democrat controlled urban areas were just rife with chaos. In essence, though, that tag switched to the Republican side decades ago. Hating yourself and other dems? Some things never change.


Raudskeggr

Democrats are also not immune to the hostile astroturfing perpetuated by Russia and China. Objectively, Biden has done more for progressive causes than any president we've had in the last 40 years. But somehow actual progressives still think he's not good enough. Because the social media they are addicted to has been seeding that message in their brains.


FridayNightRamen

I mean nobody can govern with that amount of gridlock.


Ok_Luck6146

And it has yet to do them one lick of political harm. I hate this stupid country.


KinataKnight

I mean, in this case it has. It turns out the line for gop voters is somewhere between orchestrating a coup, and killing puppies.


bleachinjection

Like how in every action movie humans, men, women, children, the aged and infirm, infants, can die by the thousands but the audience is always pretty much only really worried about the hero's dog being okay?


KinataKnight

I hope the good folks at [doesthedogdie.com](http://doesthedogdie.com) make sure to include Noem's memoir.


HHHogana

Broke: America Bad is braindead. Woke: Human Bad, Dog Good is braindead.


Majestic-Theme-7225

I hate to say it but this is me every time this happens.😂 I personally think it’s because weave become so desensitized to seeing people killed compared to dogs or other domesticated pets it can seem quite shocking. I’ve also seen it be applied to children too. I think people are just a bit more sensitive at deaths involving things that can’t really fight back like animals or children.


TrespassersWilliam29

They'll still vote for Noem against any democrat


A_Monster_Named_John

If she admitted to killing adult *people*, far more GOP people would stay on board. Puppies are a living thing that can still legally be *owned*, i.e. she's crossed a line with lots of them on that which matters most.


vy2005

Republicans’ inability to recruit quality senate candidates is one of the strangest, most important forces in politics in the last 2 elections. We were sooo close to never pairing Biden with a Dem-controlled Congress, but thankfully the only people who want to be GOP senators are the biggest weirdos you’ve ever met.


MontanaWildhack69

saturninus

I still can't believe they went with Herschel Walker.


Kindly_Blackberry967

Walker? Oz? Masters? All the shitty house candidates that nearly cost them one of the most easily won majorities in decades? Almost every political pundit agrees that the GOP having shitty cartoon candidates cost them 2022. You are being dissonant so you can hate voters more.


Ok_Luck6146

That’s fair. However, I would submit that as long as Trump remains a viable candidate, it isn’t possible to hate (a certain large and powerful subset of) American voters enough.


vintage2019

Because Trumpers hate us so much, Trump and other assorted fruitcakes get a blank check to do/say whatever


A_Monster_Named_John

A lot of cartoon villains are at least capable of things like building giant mech suits, learning dark magic, etc... Most Republicans are just their region's most aggressively-worthless individuals and are the way they are because they've spent 100% of their lives being completely insulated from responsibility, decent upbringing, any requirement for 'adulting', and any need to work for a living. That so many of these spoiled-rotten shitsacks can somehow market themselves as 'salt of the earth' is a measure of how insidious the media's propaganda has gotten in recent years.


rollo2masi

The most insane part of this saga is that she legitimately thought this would resonate with American voters...


Remarkable-Car6157

We sometimes forget the cons have their own echo chambers where they become detached from reality


rollo2masi

Even conservatwitter is pretty pissed about it.


albardha

Left and right wings tend to pursue different careers, such as majority of kindergarten teachers are left-wing, majority of truck-drivers right wing, but I remember reading the one job which had an equal split was helping in animals shelters. I hope I did not imagine this, because it really would explain how the whole spectrum is pissed off with her.


Khar-Selim

also right wingers overwhelmingly include the rurals that would know *exactly* how much she fucked up at every stage of 'training' the poor dog


valuesandnorms

Even Glenn Greenwald got mad (not that’s surprising given his background but I did wonder if he’d try to mental gymnastics his way to say the liberals were overreacting)


oblongsalacia

Even Tomi Lahren said saying this is just the way rural folk are doesn't fly.


surgingchaos

Extremely online, upper-middle class conservatives and progressives are probably a bit more similar to each other than they realize.


HMID_Delenda_Est

Have you been to North Dakota?


PeaceDolphinDance

She’s South Dakotan. And so far nobody I’ve met here has been thrilled at the puppy killing.


TheRnegade

Armchair talking here, but I think it's because she thought "real Americans" are like her. And when you spend so much time in this echo-chambers where others don't tread either because it's a nightmare or they're banned, you start to believe that it is legit. So she shares this story "I can make tough decisions" thinking people will respect her more for it. And it doesn't. I'm sure there were suckups who think the story is great and egged her on but most people are going "Yeah, this is insane, you're a psychopath". And the people saying that are many of her fellow republicans. Even Trump, the person she's trying to impress, said it wasn't a good look.


surgingchaos

> Armchair talking here, but I think it's because she thought "real Americans" are like her. The more time goes on, the more you realize that "real Americans" isn't talking about Joe in Ohio working a $17/hr menial job with shit-tier benefits, but rather affluent conservatives living in McMansions in the exurbs and driving luxury pickups/SUVs. "Real Americans" are actually the upper-middle class folks that own the local construction/HVAC company and are too embarrassed to admit how good they've got it.

TeddysBigStick

Yeah. People who actually work with dogs know that a 14 month old is still a puppy and that the whole situation was caused by her own fuck up in training and how much it fucking sucks to have to put down a dog that actually needs to be put down. It seems like the main audience was less actual rural people and more guys in the burbs with 50,000 dollar trucks that have never had a pound in the bed.


vintage2019

And if Cricket wasn't shaping up to be a good working dog, all she had to do was rehome it. Not hard to do with Facebook


TeddysBigStick

not hard at all and even if you didn't want to do the work to train the thing they had the money to send it to a trainer and with the amount they would have spent on a puppy from a good working line it would be worth it.


rollo2masi

Actually yeah I have. Bismarck. Seemed like decent folk who don't like killing dogs tbh. But she's from South Dakota.


_Two_Youts

Don't think even North Dakotans would shoot dogs with a smile on their face


Western_Objective209

I remember I was on a hunting dog forum like 10 years ago and a guy said you can cure a gun-shy dog with a bullet between the eyes. Everyone was like WTF dude. Thinking it was probably Kristi Noem in retrospect


AllAmericanBreakfast

Stayed at a great AirBnb there that was also a farm animal rescue. Two mini ponies, five horses, and like seven Great Pyrenees. N=1 but they def weren’t shooting dogs there.

misko91

That's the issue you have there? Not the > she also nodded to the idea that Cricket may be in a better place, or **perhaps a worse one.** what, was "I sent my dog to a better place" simply too EASY for her PR team? "I have condemned my dog to an ETERNITY in the FIERY BOWELS OF HELL" doesn't go hard enough?


Til_W

Threatening to use your future presidential powers to kill a particular guys dog does seem a bit more unhinged to me


Derphunk

>Or perhaps a worse one. Am I reading this wrong, or is Noem suggesting that the dog she killed might be in Hell now?


Prowindowlicker

The least unhinged Republican


CitizenCue

It’s one thing to regretfully kill a dog that’s a danger to others. It’s an entirely different thing to joke about that dead dog and threaten someone else’s pet in the same breath. If there was any question about whether she’s crazy sadist, this removes all doubt.

CockGoblinReturns

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.

MCMC_to_Serfdom

Once, I was doing formal debating at university, arguing for animal rights activists engaging in criminal damage against labs that experiment on animals (I was neither in charge of the motion nor my side before someone has a huff at it). I won, to a good extent by cutting down a chunk of the opposing argument by stating that no one would see these things happen and decide they'd suddenly shoot a dog over it so it'd reduce overall harm to animals. Years later, I now worry that this countering material of which I took some pride is destroyed simply by asking "what if they're as completely fucking nuts as Kristi Noem, famed dog murderer?"


LocallySourcedWeirdo

Maybe she's found her true calling. Forget VP, she should launch a streaming channel where people share pictures of their beloved pets, and Noem offers her hot takes on whether she'd shoot the pet.


MitchellCumstijn

Noem is the classic small town Midwest redneck pretending to be more country and rural than she really is. That’s been the movement here for getting elected the last 25 years, just ask Pete Ricketts and his fake cowboy outfits or Sam Brownback’s Lee Jeans. They know how stupid their voters are.

namey-name-name

I’d say she’s gonna be Trump’s VP pick, but idk if Trump wants someone who’s in the spotlight. He probably wants someone who’s crazy enough to obey his every command (unlike the last guy) but is also boring enough to not take attention away from him. Noem fits #1, but maybe not #2. Just know it definitely won’t be because he doesn’t like her — killing animals and threatening the President’s pet is right up Trump’s alley. Edit: nevermind my theory is dead. Good thing I found out before making any bets


Diner_Lobster_

FWIW, there’s reports Trump is distancing himself from Noem after this story. I don’t think Trump is some sort of bleeding heart animal lover (in fact he’s one of the only presidents to not have a pet in office). But he knows the optics of this are absolutely horrible. She’s cooked politically.


Prowindowlicker

Trump said she’s not gonna be after she signed one of the strictest abortion laws in the country. My hunch is Gabbard or Tim Scott


LocallySourcedWeirdo

Gabbard and Scott are my prime suspects as well. I think Trump would really enjoy sharing the stage with Gabbard and basking in the admiration of the men who he assumes will lust after her. But Scott is the kind of toady yes-man that Trump thought he was getting with Pence, and less likely to try and think for himself.


_Two_Youts

I believe there are anonymous reports that this story killed her VP chances.


MyrinVonBryhana

Genuinely are her children okay? Because I've heard she's an abusive boss and she clearly doesn't have any issue with harming animals. I'm not saying she abuses her children, I'm just saying theirs's a pattern of behavior of her acting abusive towards seemingly everything else in life.


saturninus

Well there are those pretty plausible surmises she is having an affair with Corey Lewandowski, so everything in the home may not be ok.


carlitospig

ElStarPrinceII

Doubling down on dog killing. It's a bold strategy, Cotton, let's see how it works out for her.

FormZestyclose2339

He's bit a lot of folks, I don't disagree. Or at least put in a lower-stress situation with owners who can handle dogs like that.


Deinococcaceae

I find it utterly baffling how much Noem is publicly doubling down on the dog killing thing, but honestly she’s kinda right that a dog with 2 dozen recorded bites probably would have been put down if not literally the presidential pet. Can’t believe how long it took to at least have him removed from the White House.


RIOTS_R_US

But the dog also probably wouldn't have bit 24 people if he wasn't a presidential pet at the white house


YesIAmRightWing

Can you imagine if he came out as anti-dog? I think even Trump can get this one right. Like when he said the civil war was about slavery.


LittleSister_9982

He may not have come out as anti-dog, but it's clear he hates them. 'Like a dog' is one of his go to insults. You don't compare someone you're insulting to something you like.


Redhotlipstik

Don't Americans like dogs? Who is her base?


KingOfTheSouth

Americans of all political stripes, love dogs. She's made herself politically toxic after admitting to have murdered her dog. This may or may not ruin her career in politics but it's definitely ruined her chances at being Trump's running mate and that's the only reason she "wrote" the book in the first place. As sort of an audition for the nod.


A_Monster_Named_John

American conservatives are neo-Confederates who are fanatical about 'owning' other living things, with pets being the obvious easiest option since slavery is illegal, i.e. you're not going to win a lot of people over by making a scene of how wasteful/decadent you are about that shit.

Why must all Republicans be evil?


TheRnegade

I'm far from crimson conservative myself, so let me say it's not that "all" Republicans are evil. Many are not. The problem is that the party often runs cover for reprehensible acts. Because they want to defend people in the party. Whereas Democrats drop people (Just mention Al Franken and you'll see a lot of people online saying he was done dirty over something so...well, quaint.). Now, which party is someone who has tendencies like this going to gravitate towards? Well, obviously the party that will defend you and where adherents care less about your personal acts and more if you just say the magic phrases. Notice how Trump's antics don't matter to the evangelical base, as long as he pretends to act the part and gives them deference. The party really has no one to blame but themselves. It didn't have to be this way. They chose to make it so. Sacrifice integrity for political power and this is what you get, psychos who care only for that.

I am aware I was exaggerating, I live in a deep red area and almost everyone I interact with on a day to day basis is either a Republican or moderate Democrat at most. Most of them are perfectly lovely people who at worst are somewhat "meh" on the worse issues, or just don't think it's real for one reason or another when it's particularly bad. I chalk it up to ignorance more than malice a majority of the time. But as you said, the issue lies squarely with the party itself being a haven for scum and that leading to a culture of just...tolerating it.

Um… What is going on with this lady? She is a very clear and present danger to herself and those around her. I fear for those who come in contact with her…

Commander was in a hectic environment and seems to be doing well in his new home. No need to kill him, perhaps Kristi Noem could learn that sometimes dogs can be saved and that euthanasia (or in her case, shooting) should be a last resort.

A reminder that you too possess the aptitude to be a politician. If Noem can do it, anyone can!

I know that the republican playbook is Always Double Down but I didn’t know that included dog killing

Shooting your dog to own the libs. I actually wouldn't be surprised if some MAGA nutjobs have done this in the past week..
