      Might be a misdirection. I have a real hard time believing even the Republicans would pick a puppy killer.

        Trump picked General Mattis as his Secretary of Defense purely because he had the nickname “Mad Dog”, then got upset when Mattis wasn’t a psychopathic warhawk who’d do anything Trump wanted.

        And the rest of his cabinet was a revolving door of awful people. There’s no failure of character he won’t tolerate as long as they bend the knee and stroke his ego enough.

        SO usually, when you or some one describes some one as a puppy killer, its done in hyperbole, often in a negative framing: “Its not like she’s a puppy-killer”. As in, its not like the person is the worst kind of person imaginable. Here is the urban dictionary defintion: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Puppy Killer

        So what do you do, when some one outs themselves, unironically, as a puppy killer?

        A good breakdown of exactly what transposed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpNb0o80zz8

        Basically, she like… humblebragged? about taking a puppy down to a gravel pit and killing it in her auto-biography.

          Don’t forget she blasted a goat literally right after. She was just in an animal killing mood I guess. Psycho bitch.

        She killed her puppy, who she was training to hunt fowl, after it killed a chicken or two at a ranch.

        She killed her puppy because she was a shitty owner and lost control of a dog doing what it was taught to do.

        She shot her puppy for scaring ducks while hunting or something, kept doubling down on it being the right thing to do in the situation

        This psychopath wrote a memoir which she brags about how she is not afraid to kill. Then talks about how she killed dogs.

      I’m still assuming Trump will pick one of his kids. Like Saddam Hussein or the Kims. Dictators like to keep it in the family.

          But it would save on sign costs. Since the morons already taped over the Pence and 2020 on all their old signs.

      Pull the wings off of a fly!!!

      Do you know what you get when you pull the wings off of a fly?

      Well do you?

      A Walk.

      Irrespective of the humor, Noem is a very sick individual. She should not be in public, much less hold public office of any kind.

    It would be soooooo terrible if someone made troll accounts pretending to be her. Please nobody do this, and definitely don’t buy a blue check mark either.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Kristi Noem, the Republican governor of South Dakota who has been dogged by controversy since recounting how she chose to shoot dead a puppy and a goat, attracted new questions when it was noted that some of her official social media accounts appeared to have been deleted.

    Noem’s spokesperson, Ian Fury, told news outlets the new X page was the source for official updates but did not say what happened to the old account or why it was deleted.

    Such attention shone a spotlight on controversies including Noem using her personal X account to advertise a Texas cosmetic dentist and being banned from Native American reservations, over comments about tribal leaders and drug cartels.

    The ensuing story revealed the governor’s startling account of the day she shot dead Cricket, a 14-month-old wirehaired pointer she deemed untrainable and dangerous, and an unnamed, uncastrated goat she said threatened her children.

    Asked why the book also included an apparent threat to kill one of Joe Biden’s dogs, Noem told CBS the animal, Commander, had “attacked 24 Secret Service people.

    The book produced more damaging headlines when it was revealed that Noem claimed to have “stared down” the North Korean dictator, Kim Jong-un, but no such meeting could be shown to have happened.


    The original article contains 433 words, the summary contains 209 words. Saved 52%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
