"Who knows what other animals she would have dragged to the gravel pit and blown away if a nearby work crew hadn’t spotted her gleefully slaughtering her dog and her goat?"
From an account of her book: "At that point, Noem writes, she realised [sic] a construction crew had watched her kill both animals. The startled workers swiftly got back to work, she writes, only for a school bus to arrive and drop off Noem’s children."
I'm sorry if I'm snarky. No one, absolutely no one, pays attention to the travesty that's been inflicted on Native Americans.
From denying water rights, to ignoring the number of indigenous woman raped/murdered and those rapes/murders committed by non-indigenous, to the taking of lands ...
Never mind. My husband just reminded me my rant won't matter. And he's fucking English.
I'm angered by Noem's dog thing; I am more angered by Noem's racism regarding Native Americans, and her hatred of NA's sovereignty, especially during COVID.
She had a choice even though she didn't see it. This is the problem with people like her (Republican and MAGA), violence against others is the rule. Everything else is a nail, and she is the hammer. Shows a narrow range of thought options when confronted by a problem or a counter argument she does not like. Shoot it. Deny it. Claim someone else was at fault. Play the victim.
I got the impression she was in the truck alone. But you know she’d never take that kind of responsibility. No, the stupid, aggressive, untrainable young dog proved to be a veritable Houdini. Or she left a window down.
It's only a matter of time before we hear about how Noem heroically saved the lives of numerous orphans just as Cricket was about to rip their throats out.
This is all one more blow against the MAGA party. Their ship is sinking and stinking. Trump is BOUND to distance himself from this atrocity, because, rat that he is, he knows this will stick like tar.
Hey! Rikki Tikki Tavi was clever, fast, brave and loyal: Trump is none of those things.
I guess she was thinking about doing a remake of "Hud."
She’s a horrible human being!!
I wonder how Noam disciplined her children. Probably they got off with just flesh wounds.
Or they were sent to the gravel pit without any supper.
You know, cleaning up after mommy at the gravel pit is something farm kids do every day.
This whole thing probably raised Noam's chances in the veepstakes. Donald's not a dog guy *and* he loves people he can call "killer".
Even Bannon and DJTJ are looking askance, apparently.

Let's be grateful she stopped at the goat.
Amazing. This post mentioned nothing about the damages she's done to Native Americans.
I'm sorry we're not worthy of your attention, Rebecca. Please rethink. xx
It was mentioned in the initial article on this topic.

Seems my husband is right.
But who cares about that ...
I hope you do not think I was minimizing.
i love how she mentions the cricket was a "working" dog as if thats supposed to make a difference
It wasn't one of those shiftless, lazy, metrosexual dogs who cannot hold down a job.
Up fist for Droopy! Noem needs to resign as governor, she's already resigned as a human being.
I believe that lack of empathy is pretty high on the sociopath checklist.
Does the state constitution specify you have to be human?
Sounds like another tough case for SCOTUS!

Guessing Noem was heavily influenced by 𝘖𝘭𝘥 𝘠𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘳, or maybe 𝘚𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘴. 🤷🏻♂️
I gently suggest: "Hud."
I notice that the law says “can”, and not “must”.
I guess it doesn't say anything about accomplices either. For example, the careless person who allowed the dog to escape from the truck.

"Funniest"? WTF. Who writes these subtitles?

Ta, Gary. Anything I have to say about that POS would get me banhammered.
