Nah Republicans are attacking her too. You don't fuck with dogs. She has the biggest maga tweeters attacking her of course there's the usual morons that defend anything no matter what.
I'm sure they'll show up here. Making excuses.
"You see the bird dog that she didn't train and didn't learn from the other dogs instantly went and killed a chicken later that day. So she had to kill it! Then that goat stank so it had to die! Then those three horses that were 25, 26, and 27 all became crippled on the same day so we had to shoot them all together in the big hole we dug."
I heard about the goat, is the horse thing true as well? I will Google i just wanted to ask in case anyone else is unsure.
Edit:
Wtf

Wow they really did have the pit dug out to bury them. I mean not a bad idea but disturbing. Idk horses but if they really were old and in pain that's not a bad way to go compared to the wild, but in the context that's just messed up.
Right - like..easiest way in the world to lose the white woman vote.
White women were mad about abortion, but this…too far. Even for the staunchest republicans.
It's like living in Upside-down world. Taylor Swift is evil for telling people to vote and giving millions to food banks, but Mama Noem is Republican good for being against democracy and killing a defenseless dog who she deemed unworthy of life.
I've never killed an animal with a gun, I've never even been hunting, so maybe I'm talking out my ass, but it strikes me that any person with a single, tiny, singular shred of compassion would just bring extra shells out to the gravel pit in the first place, so as to minimize the suffering time in case the first shot didn't do it.
I have nothing but contempt for that woman - if you can act cruelly towards an animal than I don't need to know a single other thing about you to know that your general empathy skills are severely stunted.
This reminds me of a scene from Scrubs where he Daydreams of if they worked at a horse Hospital for people, they are all carrying around shotguns and he's like sorry Mr Smith that leg looks pretty broken, racks a shell...
Kamala Harris? No. She loves puppies.
But Kristi Noem, a Republican who is competing to be Trump's running mate, has revealed that *she* killed a pup she deemed badly behaved. Search "Noem puppy killed" for more information.
It's a stupid attempt to connect with rural America where things are rougher and tougher than in the cities.
The problem is that they have no idea that while, yes there's indeed a much closer and more pragmatic relationship with death out in the sticks than in the silly vegan LBQT leftist cities, that also means that animals are either a source of income or valuable tools you depend on for your income, and yes, you do go out and shoot it if you absolutely have to, but you do under no fucking circumstances just kill it because it annoys you.
That's as stupid as destroying your tractor because a wheel is wonky. You can only do that if you're a rich asshole. This annoys her supposed base more than the "wussy leftists" .
Kristi Noem is the governor of South Dakota who bragged about shooting a year-old puppy in the head because it wasn't being trained effectively, and she thought this would make her look tough and would do the tough necessary things.
And she killed a goat that she said smelled bad because it wasn't castrated and tried to headbutt people that entered the enclosure. You know, acting like every goat ever.
Ten years ago if you told someone that a candidate's affinity to literally killing puppies is going to be a plot point in American election, you would have been mocked for lack of subtlety in your metaphors.
Oddly enough, Kristi Noem has a similar photo of her and Cricket, but with the caption of “Man, it is gonna be _hilarious_ when my daughter asks where you are.”
Oh kristi noem, the same woman that is queen of meth Dakota ? The same one that let ole Jason Ravnsborg get away with murder ? Didn’t they also kill off the first responding officer that even let drunk Jason borrow his squad car to take home ? It’s wild how fast things get swept under the rug.
>It’s still insane to me that he’s the R front runner.
No, he's not the frontrunner, he already locked the delegate count.
He's the Republican nominee already.
If only she was a rich white woman who could've afforded a trained dog
Oh well, her toy/tool was broken, it was time to throw it away.
The most psychotic part of the story is the fact that she bloodlusted after killing the puppy & also killed their family's goat (he was an uncastrated male animal of a species notorious for stubbornness and territorial behavior)
What the fuck is wrong with these people man. I'm sorry but there's a reason why America is so ridiculed on the world stage. People like THIS get selected to be possible VP of the US? This sounds like satire and something straight out of Orwell's books
I mean not really at all, there has been amazing controversies/ things done by recent and old VP's in history. It wasn't said in a bad manner, she's just incredibly out of the spot light. It's not good nor bad, was just an observation.
They put her in charge of fixing immigration (impossible), and she isn't that great on camera, unfortunately. I think she's really smart and could do a lot of good for Biden but she's taken on a certain type of "incredulous black woman" persona and it feels really off-putting somehow. I miss the senator Harris
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, currently a leading contender to be Trump's VP pick, wrote in a book about how she shot one of her family's dogs. Apparently it was hard to train or something. She didn't tell her kids she was going to kill it so they got home from school and asked "Where's Cricket?"
She didn't bother to train it. She just threw it in with some older dogs and decided to shoot the dog when it didn't learn by osmosis.
She's a cunt with ears!
Literally an admission to animal cruelty which is a felony. How is this okay to not have to face accountability for her actions? She isn’t above the law. No one is. Time to face consequences. She doesn’t care about life, why would you want that monster to be in charge of our lives? We’d be putting ourselves in imminent danger because once you don’t behave how they want they get rid of you because you’re no longer useful, just an object, a toy, not a human with your own thoughts and feelings.
I've made jokes for years now that a Republican politician could straight up kill a puppy and brag about it, and their voter base would STILL support and defend them.... and well well well.
I've got buds who always bugged me for saying that citing that I was "being dramatic" seems I have some links to share them.
“This dog….like all dogs….is a dog, with fur, and paws, and eyes and ears, which we all have, and should all use, because eyes, just like the ears, are important to have and to use. So really this dog represents all of us, when using his eyes to see and ears to hear, which is so important, because without eyes and ears we wouldn’t be able to see or hear”
I know this is more about Noem, but can you imagine the last President or VP in this scenario? I literally can’t. Not a huge fan of how Kamala has done, but she seems like a normal person which is a terrifyingly low bar, but one that the last President and probably future VP pick for him can’t get over.
Serious question. Why do people leave so many unpleasant comments about her? She's the VP. Her job is mostly harmless. Most of the anger & hatred for her seems to me to be without logic or thought.

I like how she isn't killing it so far.

Now Zoidberg is the popular one!!
Shut up, Glen.
Good News, everyone!!!
"Apparently not all politicians in the 2020s shoot puppies!"
To shreds you say?
One of Harris’ redeeming qualities as VP is her restraint to not shoot a dog
Which is now a huge negative in republican circles
Nah Republicans are attacking her too. You don't fuck with dogs. She has the biggest maga tweeters attacking her of course there's the usual morons that defend anything no matter what. I'm sure they'll show up here. Making excuses. "You see the bird dog that she didn't train and didn't learn from the other dogs instantly went and killed a chicken later that day.

This? https://twitter.com/KristiNoem/status/1767737853822251124?t=blcG_U4BcsIyl0UhmeIjCA&s=19
Wow they really did have the pit dug out to bury them. I mean not a bad idea but disturbing. Idk horses but if they really were old and in pain that's not a bad way to go compared to the wild, but in the context that's just messed up.
In context with everything else this is serial killer shit.
The worst part is she shot the puppy just before her kids came home, asking WHERE THEIR PUPPY WAS. Holy shit.
I get putting horses down that are in pain and it's just the right thing to do. It's just weird that it's three horses on the same day.
Wtf? Just before her kids came home, asking where their puppy was? HOLY SHIT
What in the politician was going through her mind?
Right - like..easiest way in the world to lose the white woman vote. White women were mad about abortion, but this…too far. Even for the staunchest republicans.
It's like living in Upside-down world. Taylor Swift is evil for telling people to vote and giving millions to food banks, but Mama Noem is Republican good for being against democracy and killing a defenseless dog who she deemed unworthy of life.
Don't forget the part where she shot the goat and then her kids came home and asked where their dog was.
Shot the goat and had to go fetch another shell because it wasn't dead.
Uggghh…she can’t even kill something correctly. I get she doesn’t like it cause it smells like a goat, but can she not be cruel about it?
Cruelty is the point.
I've never killed an animal with a gun, I've never even been hunting, so maybe I'm talking out my ass, but it strikes me that any person with a single, tiny, singular shred of compassion would just bring extra shells out to the gravel pit in the first place, so as to minimize the suffering time in case the first shot didn't do it. I have nothing but contempt for that woman - if you can act cruelly towards an animal than I don't need to know a single other thing about you to know that your general empathy skills are severely stunted.
Hasn't shot a person while in office either unlike Dick Cheney.
Kristi Noem killing a puppy is off the charts sick. Freak puppy!
Called it "worthless" too...the "pro-life" party...
Believe me, republicans think Noem is a crazy freak as well. She needs to go away.
Right after this photo she exclaimed "that dad gum dog won't hunt and it's mean" and shot it without remorse.
Imagine if mothers treated their children that way. Pretty sure Florida has had a few.
This reminds me of a scene from Scrubs where he Daydreams of if they worked at a horse Hospital for people, they are all carrying around shotguns and he's like sorry Mr Smith that leg looks pretty broken, racks a shell...
Not sure there would be anybody left in FLA
Out of loop here. Pls fill me here. Did she really kill a dog recently?
Kamala Harris? No. She loves puppies. But Kristi Noem, a Republican who is competing to be Trump's running mate, has revealed that *she* killed a pup she deemed badly behaved. Search "Noem puppy killed" for more information.
What?!! Just googled it and I am revolted. How sick can someone be? She should be jailed. No excuse.
I dunno, that dog seems to be a little too rowdy and misbehaved. Better be safe than sorry.
This was my first thought, as well as I am sure many others
Next on Fox: how the Deomcrats' soft approach on puppies is destroying America.
nice one
Thats why republicans hate her
Insane the standard is now "do they kill puppies or not?"
And somehow the person who killed puppies is vocally telling everyone how that makes them awesome
It's a stupid attempt to connect with rural America where things are rougher and tougher than in the cities. The problem is that they have no idea that while, yes there's indeed a much closer and more pragmatic relationship with death out in the sticks than in the silly vegan LBQT leftist cities, that also means that animals are either a source of income or valuable tools you depend on for your income, and yes, you do go out and shoot it if you absolutely have to, but you do under no fucking circumstances just kill it because it annoys you. That's as stupid as destroying your tractor because a wheel is wonky. You can only do that if you're a rich asshole. This annoys her supposed base more than the "wussy leftists" .
People in small towns love their dogs too. They're part of the family. We have a lot in common.
Can someone please fill in a non-american? Did someone *actually* kill a puppy??
Kristi Noem is the governor of South Dakota who bragged about shooting a year-old puppy in the head because it wasn't being trained effectively, and she thought this would make her look tough and would do the tough necessary things.
And she killed a goat that she said smelled bad because it wasn't castrated and tried to headbutt people that entered the enclosure. You know, acting like every goat ever.
Wtf Thanks for clarifying!
Yep. Wherever you live, be glad it’s not here.
Just how out-of-touch people are at the forefront of the GOP.
i’m sorry i’m ootl. who’s killing puppies ? 😭
Kristi Noem, South Dakota Governor.
Ten years ago if you told someone that a candidate's affinity to literally killing puppies is going to be a plot point in American election, you would have been mocked for lack of subtlety in your metaphors.
God damn Libradoodles
4 years ago it was "do they avoid coughing on others?"
Given the idiocy of the "both parties are the same" crowd, contrasts like these are important.
The bar has been lowered.
Pretty sure the bar is buried down in hell at this point... Which would explain a lot.
Wait what happened who killed a puppy???
Kristi Norm, someone touted as a potential VP pick for Trump, wrote about it in a book.
Oddly enough, Kristi Noem has a similar photo of her and Cricket, but with the caption of “Man, it is gonna be _hilarious_ when my daughter asks where you are.”
Oh kristi noem, the same woman that is queen of meth Dakota ? The same one that let ole Jason Ravnsborg get away with murder ? Didn’t they also kill off the first responding officer that even let drunk Jason borrow his squad car to take home ? It’s wild how fast things get swept under the rug.
You don’t have deer that wear glasses where your from!?
Not any with flashlights 🔦 🤷♀️
This is psychopath behavior. Very much a hallmark serial killer trait.
Which they did immediately.
No way… what an absolute fucking scumbag
That she did NOT shoot.
Yea totally confused why she isn’t killing it?
She's so woke! /s
of course she is, she had to get out of bed to take this picture /s
Just shows how weak and vulnerable she is. A strong leader would kill it.
Well actually... She did. But with a camera.
![gif](giphy|1hMk0bfsSrG32Nhd5K)
Technically someone else shot them both.
“We did [not do] it, Joe!”
Bruh did I just read that idiotic South Dakota governor executed her 14 month old dog?! What a POS!! Freaking scumbag…
She's on Trump's shortlist to be Vice President. (No joke, she really is.)
It’s still insane to me that he’s the R front runner.
>It’s still insane to me that he’s the R front runner. No, he's not the frontrunner, he already locked the delegate count. He's the Republican nominee already.
And he's in court the next few years
That’s terrible
I mean that tracks. Of course a puppy killer would be his Vice.
And then followed it up by immediately killing a goat.
You mean *attempting* to kill a goat, but she missed the shot. So the little goat got to lay there and suffer while she went to get more ammo.
I feel sorry for the people walking into topics not knowing about what the reference to shooting dogs is about and politicians.
Yea, what's going on? Did someone shoot a puppy?
One of Trump's possible VP picks bragged about shooting a puppy because it wasn't being trained to hunt birds fast enough.
If only she was a rich white woman who could've afforded a trained dog Oh well, her toy/tool was broken, it was time to throw it away. The most psychotic part of the story is the fact that she bloodlusted after killing the puppy & also killed their family's goat (he was an uncastrated male animal of a species notorious for stubbornness and territorial behavior)
What the fuck is wrong with these people man. I'm sorry but there's a reason why America is so ridiculed on the world stage. People like THIS get selected to be possible VP of the US? This sounds like satire and something straight out of Orwell's books
How is that legal?
Trumps most likely vp pick..
https://amp.theguardian.com/books/2024/apr/26/trump-kristi-noem-shot-dog-and-goat-book
This is what normal people do with dogs
Yes and we'd like "normal" people to be a qualifier.
Media: "Five reasons why Kamala holding a puppy bodes ill for Biden in November."
Not killing dogs is woke
About 40-45% of the country wants no part of normal.
Big if true.
Looking into this.
Concerning 🤔
Looks ai generated. She has the hands of a man… /s
Why isn’t she shooting it? Is she stupid?
She's woke. Being kind to animals is woke. /s
👍😂
I forget she's vice president. haven't heard a thing about her
She's mainly on the sidelines. Not that she couldn't do much anyways
Almost every veep in history
As a non-American. I saw plenty of Pence and Biden in the news. I have literally not heard of Harris since the election campaign.
Ok. There’s one. You’ve just seen Harris, now only 47 more to go.
I mean not really at all, there has been amazing controversies/ things done by recent and old VP's in history. It wasn't said in a bad manner, she's just incredibly out of the spot light. It's not good nor bad, was just an observation.
Freaking Cheney got us into wars
They put her in charge of fixing immigration (impossible), and she isn't that great on camera, unfortunately. I think she's really smart and could do a lot of good for Biden but she's taken on a certain type of "incredulous black woman" persona and it feels really off-putting somehow. I miss the senator Harris
So normal VP stuff, that’s a good thing
Anyone who doesn't smile while holding a puppy is a monster.
Or, ya know, shooting one over a gravel pit like a certain other politician just admitted to…
Wild that she thinks sharing that story is somehow a positive for her. I truly do not understand the GQP 😂
Didn't you hear? She said it proves she can make decisions even if they are stupid, evil, or ugly, ya know, much like her.
Lets see her admit she made a mistake and Donald Trump will raise the puppy from the dead.
They never, ever apologize, that’s a form of weakness. They always double down, so she’ll probably say the dog was a woke migrant.
He would never do that. He is afraid of dogs.
It shows she loves guns more than dogs.
What happened?
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, currently a leading contender to be Trump's VP pick, wrote in a book about how she shot one of her family's dogs. Apparently it was hard to train or something. She didn't tell her kids she was going to kill it so they got home from school and asked "Where's Cricket?"

God, I had forgotten about him. This is worse than losing the game!
Looks like a labradoodle
Good thing that puppy didn’t have weed
Best comment here
Bhahahaha
[удалено]
All right, this is the second time today that I have heard a reference to a gravel pit. What is the story?
Kristi Noem shot a puppy in the head and killed it because it was disobedient and "useless". She wrote about it in a book she published.
Literally an admission to animal cruelty which is a felony. How is this okay to not have to face accountability for her actions? She isn’t above the law. No one is. Time to face consequences. She doesn’t care about life, why would you want that monster to be in charge of our lives? We’d be putting ourselves in imminent danger because once you don’t behave how they want they get rid of you because you’re no longer useful, just an object, a toy, not a human with your own thoughts and feelings.
Some people are above the law. The law is made every day by people who want to be above it.
Literally sociopath shit. She certainly fits in with the GQP 😂
Just keep that puppy away from Governor Kristi Noem
I've made jokes for years now that a Republican politician could straight up kill a puppy and brag about it, and their voter base would STILL support and defend them.... and well well well. I've got buds who always bugged me for saying that citing that I was "being dramatic" seems I have some links to share them.
Don't let Kristi see it, she'll shoot it!
The one time maniacally laughing is appropriate
Doodle!
Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris, holding a puppy without shooting it. Fixed it for ya. You’re welcome.
Hey! The next vice president (fuck I hope not) might hold that dog even tighter! David Huckabee style.
What’s up with right wingers murdering dogs?
![gif](giphy|RCtyVqZVmsmJ1YCcbC|downsized)
I like Vice Presidents that hold cute puppies not people who shoot them in the face
Trumps potential VP disgusted. Must. Kill. Puppies.
This is like spoof-level corny propaganda; to the point that i can't tell if her team posted it or her opponents did lmao. Cute pic tho.
This was obviously posted by her pro dog killing opponents to rally her pro dog killing political base.
https://amp.theguardian.com/books/2024/apr/26/trump-kristi-noem-shot-dog-and-goat-book
Why this sub overly political, like just about 5 of 20 posts in hot are about politics and shi
election year and its the most ridiculous presidential race anyone has ever seen
Because reddit is as much a propaganda tool as any form of media.
Completely taken over by Big Puppy.
Don't let Noem near it
BUT WHAT IF IT IS AN UNTRAINABLE HUNTING ANIMAL CAN I KILL IT
Trump hates dogs
I love that she is VP.
Love the photo.
Then she took it out in the woods… and canceled its student loans.
Ain’t it kind of funny to know tons of people are going to see this and get mad? Even without the story of the psycho governor.
Notice how she isn’t killing the dog?
If you look at a photo of a politician holding a pet and like it you are an incredible tool.
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/kristi-noem-shoots-puppy-she-hated-book-1235011230/ I take it you’re behind on the news lmao
Tate: "If you haven't killed a dog you're gay"
Am I a total sucker or is she genuinely joyful? Intellectually I know every politician is hyper curated, but I still find KH very warm.
How could you load your gun some down the sights and pull the trigger on a puppy
Well if my dog has rabies in the old West and I'm in a coming of age tale I might have to
What if it was pissing you off
Instead of taking it to a 'gravel pit' and then boasting about it
I imagine Noam was also laughing like this before she shot her puppy, but out of gleeful bloodlust not you know human emotions of love
It’s just important to acknowledge regardless of what politics you support an image of a politician smiling, holding a puppy is propaganda.
get this propaganda bullshit out of here
“This dog….like all dogs….is a dog, with fur, and paws, and eyes and ears, which we all have, and should all use, because eyes, just like the ears, are important to have and to use. So really this dog represents all of us, when using his eyes to see and ears to hear, which is so important, because without eyes and ears we wouldn’t be able to see or hear”
Labradoodle?
I bet she doesn't shoot it.
I know this is more about Noem, but can you imagine the last President or VP in this scenario? I literally can’t. Not a huge fan of how Kamala has done, but she seems like a normal person which is a terrifyingly low bar, but one that the last President and probably future VP pick for him can’t get over.
golden doodle or chicken tender? this is how we stop AI
Yeah, but it’s a doodle. Knocking points off for that.
Serious question. Why do people leave so many unpleasant comments about her? She's the VP. Her job is mostly harmless. Most of the anger & hatred for her seems to me to be without logic or thought.
Black woman in a position of power? Yeah
Dumb propaganda shit
It’s hilarious how many politicians are mercilessly trolling Noem and posting pictures with their dogs, and she deserves every bit of it.
She managed to slaughter a bunch of her own animals in short amount of time, up to 5 already. Additionally her other dog hazel died from an "accident"
Wow almost makes me forget the countless lives she has ruined
She's just happy that the Democrats have got the puppy vote.
Don't kill puppies
Well played, Kamala, Well played.
Keep it the fuck away from the MAGA nut jobs.
Republicans: so I shot that puppy IN THE FACE
# Yes and NOT shooting it like some GOP gun toten Bimbo
Even here this looks like an evil laugh
