    Please let him fucking pick Noem - I’d love to see the entire GOP voting base placed on animal abuse watchlists.

      IT’S A COMMON WAY TO TREAT PETS WHEN YOUR FAMILY TREE IS A WREATH YOU IGNORANT LIBTARD

      Many of them are open white supremacists and a number of them are convicted insurrectionists. I like animals too, but animal abuser seems to be lower on the “horrible” list than those two other categories which are not only well represented, but celebrated among the GOP ranks.

        Honestly, I put animal abusers in a lower circle of hell, along side child abusers.

        It’s about the power differential. The difference between a white adult male and a black adult female (for example) might be considerable, but its not going to be even close to the power differential between either of those adults and a child or a pet.

          I fear more for minority children at the hands of white supremacists than an animal in the hands of a an animal abuser, and I like animals. To me there’s a deeper depravity when a human looks at another human, seeing just the color of their skin, and decides that they are lessor or worse.

            I would bet the overlap between animal abusers and bigots is significant, because there’s a consistent lack of empathy and sadism required for both.

          Yep. The dog probably thought it was about to get pets when she called it over to its execution.

        Many, but not all.

        It only takes a few percent of a political party to reject a candidate to tip the election one way or another.

      I am so conflicted… On one side a serial tax dodger, rapist and traitor running with a literal puppy killer (and proud of it) and on the other side and older president who follows the law…

      What is more American? Who should I vote for?

        Ok, but what about this one issue that would get horribly worse if I pick the serial tax dodger, rapist and traitor? What then labdog!

        Got’em!

    I figured it would be a woman so the GOP can do their “we aren’t sexist” shit, but I’ll admit my money was on Marjorie she seemed like the perfect type of unhinged

      She’s too loud. She’d try to get the spotlight and we can’t have that. We don’t share the spotlight.

        Especially not with a woman, who should be seen and not heard (unless she’s a vapid blond bimbo talking head on Fox News).

      She’s Trump’s brand of crazy, and Trump has a trademark on it.
      I feel like he wouldn’t pick her simply because she might be able to out-crazy him.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    New audio recorded at a private lunch reveals Donald Trump’s thoughts about his potential picks for a running mate in the 2024 election.

    The audio, obtained by Axios, was recorded during Mr Trump’s high-profile GOP event at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Saturday.

    Mr Trump’s top picks for a running mate include several senators, representatives, governors and former presidential candidates.

    In 2021, several weeks after the January 6 Capitol riots, Ms Noem also refused to say whether President Joe Biden won the 2020 election freely and fairly.

    Ms Noem also made recent headlines after revealing in her book No Going Back that she shot her 14-month-old “working dog” Cricket because of his behaviour.

    Mr Trump also commented on several representatives, including House Republican conference chair Elise Stefanik –a long-rumoured top pick for his vice-president.
