Too bad for her that there are supposedly witnesses to her killing the puppy. She can't walk that one back.

Constant lying, killing puppies. Seems like she’ll be very popular with republican voters. The fact she hasn’t left already shows there’s at least some truth to it

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago

She seems exceptionally cruel and psychopathic. Honestly, a great fit for the job.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Why would she? She’s going to run on that. Master locks and dead animals. That’s 2024 😭

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Plenty of republicans aren't happy about her killing the dog either. Even they love their dogs.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They’ll still vote for her

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I honestly don't know that she will survive a primary now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I hope you’re right, but my bet is they go hard with this “she does what needs to be done” thing.

“Even when it’s the wrong thing”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Wrong is relative.

Kristi Noem is a despicable cunt.

I'm going to say this every time I have a chance to comment on an article about Kristi Noem. It may be repetitive, but it brings me joy.

I remember 2008 when McCains campaign failed, and in the aftermath it was partially blamed on the failure of the vetting process regarding his running mate. Somehow, the process didn't reveal that Sarah Palin was dumb as a brick.

I wonder if we're witnessing some parallells here.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I suppose it will turn on whether she still gets picked. She's following the playbook to "go national," and it just seems to be going very, very poorly. It's not hard at all to imagine what Trump's instincts suggested to him, but this is going to be such low hanging fruit, and even in the MAGA crowd there's a limited number of people who want "shoots puppies because farm tough" to be the main thing a candidate is known for. I suppose the base can be herded in the direction their orange god wants, but it seems like a poor use of political capital, even for him.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

All she has to do is give Trump a handy and all will be right again. Trumpets will get in line.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 months ago

Endlessly lying, enjoys hurting animals, racist and dimwitted. This is a standard Republican politician.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago

This dumb bitch probably asks people "oh are you from North or South?" when they tell her they are from Korea.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

Why do all Republican women have serial killer eyes?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

There? Really? There is where you draw the line? Killing a dog is fine, but lying about meeting a dictator is too far? Just trying to keep track here.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

Nobody doubts she killed a dog, they're asking for proof on the Kim thing.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

Just making shit up, she’s definitely a good VP candidate.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Evil horrible person

She also met Gandhi and told him to stop this protest nonsense. Then she had tea with Catherine the Great to converse about the economy, and then told Harun al-Rashid that Islam is a threat to the free world.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

She can also see North Korea from her house.

Lying liar lies, gets caught lying, changes story, more lies to come.
