Her robotic non-answers are rivaled only by Tim Scott, another odious Trumpsucker.

"Margaret Brennan interrupted me 36 times in our interview, but when liberals like Gretchen Whitmer and Nancy Pelosi are on Face The Nation, they're not interrupted once"

Well, since they're not unrepetant animal killing psychopaths (as far as we know) there MAY be a reason for that.

Also, they are interrupted constantly, when even on.

That, and they're not as prone to barefaced lies that need to be pushed back against.

Did you meet Kim Jong-Un? (She did not)

I’ve met so many interesting people.

But did you meet one of the most dangerous and reclusive dictators in the world as you say in your book, written by you, and narrated by you?

I’ve met many people. When people called me out on this obvious lie, I called my publisher in a panic to have that passage pulped. But I can’t tell you if I met him or not. It’s a sea-crit. So it’s not that it isn’t true, it’s just classified.

You can't spell "No Empathy" without Noem.

Ta, Michael. Noem is not fit for polite company anywhere.

This is how far apart we are on values. I'd guess most of us here are in agreement that puppy killing is wrong. In Noem's tribe, puppy killing is something you put in your CV to audition for vice president.

Politico says her opponents may have known about it because SHE TRIED TO PUT THE CRICKET STORY IN HER FIRST BOOK.

Close-up of Noem’s face.

NOEM: If I can’t have that dog….

Cut to bunny boiling in pot.

Cut to puppy wearing blindfold, cigarette hanging from lips.

Cut to NOEM loading rifle.

Cut to close-up of NOEM’s eyes.

NOEM: Nobody will.

Cut back to NOEM's eyes.

NOEM: No witnesses. (Reloads shotgun.)

<<BRENNAN: Because you put it in a part of a chapter called "Bad Day to Be a Goat." And then after you shot the dog, you quote "realized another unpleasant job needed to be done walking back up to the yard, I spotted our billy goat.">>

Other chapters names to be considered:

"Bad Day to Be a Noem Employee"

"Bad Day to Be a Noem Kid."

And such as. The bright thread here is that nothing is safe from her rage when she decides that a killin' needs doin', metaphorical or otherwise, and when she furthermore decides that one was not enough.

And then, in the aftermath of her acting out, she does not consider whether she overreacted and temper her behavior and thoughts accordingly. No, IT'S THE OBJECT OF HER RAGE'S FAULT FOR SIMPLY EXISTING, which lets her simply dismiss the affair as "bad day to be in my orbit."

"I've met with many, many world leaders, I've traveled around the world,” Noem scoffed. Noem asserted she was “not talking about her meetings with world leaders,” to which “CBS Mornings” host Morales responded by saying, “but you do talk about meetings with world leaders.”

She brags about meeting with world leaders to burnish her credentials. "And who exactly did you meet, and what did you talk about?" "Oh, I'm not going to talk about that."

"I would say to, I would say to her [Noem] is she should probably stop digging herself in a hole.”

You know who's good at digging holes? Dogs.

Here's the thing. Everyone keeps saying that this has hurt Noem's chances of beign VP. But has it? We are talking the proven rapist Defendant Trump here. Committing to a lie and repeating it over and over even when it is damaging you is the Trumpian way. Noem's actions probably give the proven rapist Trump the erection that not even spaking a porn star with a copy of Forbes can do anymore.

I imagine the lack of a penis would be a bigger drawback.

Listen, you libs, editing mistakes like this happen all the time. It's not Noem's fault.

But since you all can't get it straight, this is what happened:

Gov. Noem met Kim and then shot him in a gravel pit, replacing him as leader of North Korea with her dog, Cricket.

I think you can see how a simple mistake changed this very clear story.
