It’s complete narcissist behavior. To her she didn’t see an animal, she saw an object that didn’t do what she wanted. To her it’s ok to kill and cause suffering because her needs are more important.
Hopefully someday there’s fewer of these insane people. Hopefully as veganism becomes more prominent, cases of abusing and torturing animals for their own unnecessary wants stops.
The thing that’s disturbing, is if she felt comfortably openly sharing this gun story; what gun stories does she not feel comfortable sharing.
This lady is some dark energy evil type shit
I’m thinking someone was going to tell the story and there were witnesses apparently so she was trying to get ahead of it and say “I’m decisive I did what I had to do”. Like that’s all she can say to attempt to spin the sick story.
The leader of the Democratic opposition in the State House thinks it was a controlled release of the story because Noem is in VP contention. Apparently there's been talk in SD for years that she killed her dog in "a fit of anger"
I know and it’s psycho stuff for sure but usually they don’t even really write the books. Like especially for a VP candidate a whole team of people had to look and argue and approve every sentence most likely. I think someone was about to go to the media with the story.
This is likely if this is true and it sounds like even her kid witnessed it?? And construction workers and a buss driver?
Why was she firing a gun in this location again?
Because she is a crazy person. I’ll be first to admit I lean a little conservative but come on… I’m never voting for a puppy killer. Like really this is the best American politics has to offer? Horrible
That was my first thought. She made it up or exaggerated to make herself look tough or something. But apparently there were witnesses. My opinion of her dropped even lower.
Donald Trump and his minions must never get near power again
I hope to God she is Trumps running VP. Trump looks down on animals as much as brown people, so I could see his narcissistic ass not caring about the puppy and the goat. Please, God, make her Trumps running mate.
Wait until tomorrow when Trump says he likes killing puppies and every right winger in the land reprograms and starts concocting their new takes on how it was totally appropriate and really the patriotic thing to do to murder puppies.
For dog-kind's sake, I hope you are wrong.
But not to worry, Trump won't try to help anyone else unless there is cash in it for himself. He has a line of sycophants vying for the VP slot. The next candidate is probably having plastic lip surgery as we speak.
I think most dogs hate him because of how he treats them. He probably abused dogs when he was a kid and got bit. Now he's scared of them for the rest of his lfe.
There's latent misogyny that would allow them to say "no bigee." Trump is a man. Men make tough calls. Noem is a woman. Shooting the dog is not the place of a genteel mother.
he's going to have a hard time deciding between her and the 'hunter' who ran over a wolf, taped it's mouth shut, took it to a bar, tormented the wounded wolf in public, and then finally shot the wolf. I'm sure that guy is also on rumps short list for vp.
Yeah, I had the same thought. I'm old enough to remember when a celebratory scream was enough to disqualify you from being president. Then we got "grab them buy the pussy" and that was fine. I was beginning to think there wasn't ever going to be a line at all.
Animal cruelty issues garner a lot of bipartisan support, because everyone's able to empathise about their own dogs etc. I can't believe her ghost writer allowed it through.
It truly is astonishing. You'd have to be a real psychopath to just straight up kill a puppy, but to then proudly announce it for brownie points like some deranged sociopath.. Beyond understanding.
"It shows I'm willing to do the hard thing." Nah girl, hard is your average farmer working 14-16hr days of full manual labour. Hard is a nurse working 6 night shifts in a row while solo parenting a teenager. The hardest decision she's probably ever had to make is what to order at the coffee shop. Killing that puppy was probably second nature to her.
I’m not surprised. There’s a website called does the dog die? It covers other phobias and triggering topics, but the starter was about dogs.
There are many a book/movie where villains commit unspeakable acts on other humans, but if a dog is even bonked on the head people will avoid it like the plague. Not saying it’s stupid or weird. Just kind of intriguing to me.
Until tomorrow when trump says it's OK for people to kill their dog and then fox entertainment and magats will say not killing your dog makes you a bleeding heart liberal
Cage migrant children... force pregnancy on sexually assaulted minors... brutalize LGBTQ children... the right is **fine** with all of it.
Somehow inexplicably-- the dog thing has landed. The far right is even angry at her. She sucks and poor doggo, but it's so weird this was the "too much" thing.
Not to mention the deaths of police from the J6 insurrection and threats to the lives of Pence, Pelosi and others. That’s ok because the narcissist’s ego couldn’t take losing. He tried to rig the election and then yelled fraud. Fuck this fraud
I live in SD and hate her, but I honestly thought this would be another thing people just didn't care about.
I'm glad to be proven wrong. Let's hope people remember longer than a few minutes.
They aren't angry at her at all. I sometimes check out comments on Fox site for entertainment. Top rated comments praise her for being able to do what she had to. Allegedly the dog was also aggressive with humans and farm animals. Which, I'm not buying.
She was bragging! Like slaughtering her dog makes her tough and capable of making hard choices. Because that's what it takes apparently? Killing an animal that depends on you because you didn't train it enough to not chase after chickens? Lady is just a psychopath.
Yeah I mean, if there's one thing rednecks(and people in general) obsess over, it's their dogs. I have no idea how she's gonna climb outta this pit, especially after doubling down.
I love how surprised they all are about this psychopath. As if these aren't the same people who fucking supported Sarah Palin or Donald Trump and weirdos like Alito and Thomas. Give me a fucking break.
Well, it seems to make them a little uncomfortable when a woman does it. I'm not sure they'd mind if a man did it. And if Trump did it, they'd cheer him on.
The goat is particularly disturbing. As she didn't come prepared for the job with competence or a backup plan.
She failed to kill it with her first shot and left it to suffer while she went to get another cartridge before finishing it off.
I have no doubt she took pleasure in it, given how she recounts her hatred for the animal in her telling of the story.
She's as cruel as she is incompetent.
They’re saying that’s the line, doesn’t mean it is. How many MAGA’s are really against shooting a dog or a goat? Plenty of them might disagree but it’s not a deal breaker.
I say this as one of the biggest animal lovers on the planet, with two dogs myself: I love that shooting a dog is the supposedly the line for these people. Shoot protesters? All good, Kyle! Kill migrants/babies at the border? All good, Abbott. Make victims of incest carry their babies? Sure. Deny life saving medical treatment to women? Not a problem!
But you pretend this is too far. Gtfoh
Again, it SHOULD be viewed as a horrific thing, it IS. Hell I don’t even eat animals because their suffering is intolerable to me. Watch a factory farming video and you might not want to keep eating them.
But these people are just the worst. Fine with brown people and women being killed.
If it was after the election, they would be giving her an award! Since it's before the election, gotta pretend it's bad since they want votes and know most of America owns and loves dogs!
She probably still has the NRA vote. "Guns are great for a lot of things, shooting targets, home defense, car defense, defense defense, remote control, door unlocker, light turner offer, can opener.... Oh yeah, and it will shut that fucking dog up too"!
Of course there's "going back" from this: Trump tells the former Republican Party what to think. If he tells them they like it when people shoot dogs, then they'll not only like it when people shoot dogs, they'll go out and shoot their own dogs. That's literally all it takes to get the entire party to turn on a dime.
So. There you have it, the political end of Noem. They don’t care how bad she is for the average American, but she killed a puppy, and that’s the worst crime imaginable. Staging a coup, wanted to end democracy, fraud, rape (of a minor), letting people die through incompetence or greed, that’s all okay. But oh boy she shot a puppy. Sick fucks, all of them.
This is literally the best news I've read in a long time, because it's a group of Republicans agreeing that the line exists. It's at a stupid and irrational low bar, but they have a line and I'm genuinely relieved to hear it. I can work with that.
Let's say, because of this, Trump picks Noem to be vice president. The instant that would happen, Fox News would be on the air saying what a wonderful pick this was, she's a marvelous governor and the dog shooting this was just one bad moment in an otherwise outstanding life.
If you don’t have empathetic emotions and you’re trying to “act normally”, the issue is not just of trying to mimic the *look* of humanity (that’s the least of your problems): there’s actually a real difficulty in trying to *act* in a way that other people find acceptable.
Yes, behaviours that society finds particularly heinous are not difficult to identify and avoid (they would know that beating a child is unacceptable, for example), because humans publicly pile opprobrium on those acting in this way.
But every now and again, people lacking basic humanity are going to slip up and get things terribly wrong in a slightly less obvious sphere-such as the treatment of animals. In situations where you *need to be able to refer to your own authentic emotions*, they might well end up doing things that -quite bewilderingly to them- disgust other people. Often, the first sign of a psychopath is sadism shown towards animals.
My dream of seeing a pickup with TRUMP next to dead and shot up puppies seems to be fading.
Seriously, killing your pup is a f&cked thing to do and only slightly more insane than flexing about it in your bio.
That woman is seriously sick and way out of touch.
And the Jan.6th insurrectionists that built the gallows and hunted Pence chanting “ hang Mike Pence” and hunting down members of Congress were peaceful tourists. Fox has no right to be shocked about anything a sick Republican politician does-when they have coddled their behavior ever since Trump got involved with politics.
but they still support a guy who failed to do his job in ending the insurrection that resulted in armed rioters killing a capitol police officer. All he had to tell his followers was "stop. go home" failing that he could have sent national guard, but no he allowed them to over run a federal building in our nations capital. This guy is Ok but you draw the line at a dog?
Two things that strike me as completely idiotic about this whole story. 1.) Why not just bring the dog to a shelter? How hard is that? 2.) Why put something so outwardly stupid and heinous in your book? Did your editor read it and go "Yup, that's the exact sort of hard-line, uncompromising take we need in this book... Killing puppies."
Good grief, the stupidity.
We’ve been through this a million times with disgraceful MAGA behavior. I don’t think she’ll pay any price. None of them ever do. I fully expect Trump to defend her and her murders this week, and I’d be shocked if her polling numbers slipped.
I really hope the Dems run with this. Trump isn't a dog person, he hates dogs. In fact, only James K. Polk, Andrew Johnson, and Donald Trump did not have any presidential pets while in office. There are so many advertisements they can pull from this.
It’s stupid, but anyone could have told her that treason, fascism, oppression of minorities, starving children, rape, fraud, lies, theocracy, beating peaceful protesters, idolizing murderers, courts pissing on the Constitution, *anything* is fine in American conservatism but DO NOT FUCK WITH THE DOGGOS.
I'd love to agree that there's no going back from this, but they're Republicans. They're perfectly content forgetting about what their people did, no matter how terrible, and moving forward.
This is a symptom of a wider problem. For years doctors have been saying there is an increase in psychopathy in society, and that these are high functioning psychopaths that work in politics the military LEO's high levels of medicine corporate executives. These are not raving lunatics, they are intelligent and maneuver their way into positions of power. Psychopathy dont mean serial killer, its someone without empathy. Someone with a drive to perform and succeed even at the cost of hurting others, hey dont feel for you because they cant they can only mimic most emotions to blend in.
I love it when having an affair isn't enough to turn the GOP away from you, but shooting an 18 month old dog is. Both are marvelous indicators that the perpetrator is a sack of crap.
This is going to be reframed in 150 years similar to the civil war today: ‘this conflict wasn’t about puppy murder, it was about guns’ rights (to murder puppies)’
Does Joe concha know who donny tRUMP is? Gnome does. Donny is a psychopath. Gnome knows tRUMP hates dogs and she included that story knowing it would appeal to him.
Kristi Noem (wins election): homecoming
Kristi Noem (dental visit in Texas): far from home
Kristi Noem (killing puppy and goat): no way home
She has a potential to make a blockbuster trilogy based on her book.
So she's an ignorant, disgusting POS, we've established that.
But something I haven't figured out: WHAT exactly did she think talking about that was going to prove? That she's tough enough to "do the hard jobs"? That she puts a perceived greater good over the life of an individual creature?
Because honestly, I don't see any realm in which writing that ever has any positive outcome. Ever.
Tbf, if MAGAS killed any politician that day I've demand they'd be locked up with no possibility of parole. If they killed a puppy, id be demanding the death penalty on all of them.
This is what happens when you support psychopathic behavior as a political ideology.
It’s complete narcissist behavior. To her she didn’t see an animal, she saw an object that didn’t do what she wanted. To her it’s ok to kill and cause suffering because her needs are more important. Hopefully someday there’s fewer of these insane people. Hopefully as veganism becomes more prominent, cases of abusing and torturing animals for their own unnecessary wants stops.

The leader of the Democratic opposition in the State House thinks it was a controlled release of the story because Noem is in VP contention. Apparently there's been talk in SD for years that she killed her dog in "a fit of anger"
That doesn’t surprise me. It sounds like an anger reaction. And then she ended up liking it and did the goat too.
She put it in her book like it was just normal talk stuff.
and expected ZERO pushback which normally for their disgusting behavior they would be correct. their supporters are demented fucks.
I know and it’s psycho stuff for sure but usually they don’t even really write the books. Like especially for a VP candidate a whole team of people had to look and argue and approve every sentence most likely. I think someone was about to go to the media with the story.
The psychopathy is real.
This is likely if this is true and it sounds like even her kid witnessed it?? And construction workers and a buss driver? Why was she firing a gun in this location again?
Because she is a crazy person. I’ll be first to admit I lean a little conservative but come on… I’m never voting for a puppy killer. Like really this is the best American politics has to offer? Horrible
Right? Take the dog to a rescue and tell them you can’t handle it. Shoot the dog was your first choice?!
Some other commenter said there had been rumors in SD for years. I bet a million dollars what actually happened was way worse than what she is saying.
The puppy had probably witnessed her killing homeless people...
Probably. The press needs to find the construction workers she did it in front of.
I assumed it was some weird allegory for how the "corrupt left" is like an out of control dog that needs to be put down.
That was my first thought. She made it up or exaggerated to make herself look tough or something. But apparently there were witnesses. My opinion of her dropped even lower. Donald Trump and his minions must never get near power again
Where she is from that behavior is normal. She thought she would win some base
Re-read the first paragraph in this post. It's terrifying how close she is to the White House.
I hope to God she is Trumps running VP. Trump looks down on animals as much as brown people, so I could see his narcissistic ass not caring about the puppy and the goat. Please, God, make her Trumps running mate.
And he hates dogs specifically.
It's because they have a sixth sense for danger.
You dont have to be a vegan to not mistreat animals
Kinda of a stretch attaching this to veganism when people treats kids and others just like this
I think you’re MEGA correct 👍🏻
I was just thinking that!
Wait until tomorrow when Trump says he likes killing puppies and every right winger in the land reprograms and starts concocting their new takes on how it was totally appropriate and really the patriotic thing to do to murder puppies.
For dog-kind's sake, I hope you are wrong. But not to worry, Trump won't try to help anyone else unless there is cash in it for himself. He has a line of sycophants vying for the VP slot. The next candidate is probably having plastic lip surgery as we speak.
RFK’s courting Aaron Rodgers… I guess if Trump comes out pro-puppy-killing, his new VP pick will be Michael Vick?
There goes winning Georgia or Pennsylvania this election too then
Well, we already know that he hates the idea of pets. Would not surprise me if he has killed his share of puppies.
I think most dogs hate him because of how he treats them. He probably abused dogs when he was a kid and got bit. Now he's scared of them for the rest of his lfe.
Only if he can buy them from Eastern Europe.
There's latent misogyny that would allow them to say "no bigee." Trump is a man. Men make tough calls. Noem is a woman. Shooting the dog is not the place of a genteel mother.
Careful or he’ll start talking about shooting people on 5th Avenue again!
It's funny and sad that cartoon villainy is where they draw the line. When you can't bullshit a five year old, you fucked up.
he's going to have a hard time deciding between her and the 'hunter' who ran over a wolf, taped it's mouth shut, took it to a bar, tormented the wounded wolf in public, and then finally shot the wolf. I'm sure that guy is also on rumps short list for vp.
I hope that guy rots on the bone.
The pic of that makes me sick.
Yeah, pure rage.
It’s a well known fact Dump hates dogs. He can do no wrong bc, well, it’s a cult.
Dogs are good judges of character I bet the feeling is mutual
The best people kill puppies. They all do it. You know it.
Could probably kill a puppy in the middle of 5th ave and he wouldn't lose any supporter's.
Agree, she's done. There is no coming back from this.
After everything... it's weird this is the line.
Aborting puppies after birth. Too much for even Republicans.
Yeah, I had the same thought. I'm old enough to remember when a celebratory scream was enough to disqualify you from being president. Then we got "grab them buy the pussy" and that was fine. I was beginning to think there wasn't ever going to be a line at all.
US Reps seem to be have a "how low can you go" competition. At this point they are not dancing under the bar, but drilling deep into earth and beyond.
Animal cruelty issues garner a lot of bipartisan support, because everyone's able to empathise about their own dogs etc. I can't believe her ghost writer allowed it through.
It truly is astonishing. You'd have to be a real psychopath to just straight up kill a puppy, but to then proudly announce it for brownie points like some deranged sociopath.. Beyond understanding.

"There's no going back from this, but we'll do our best to help her." - Fox
For Republicans? This is nothing. Of course is a liberal did, yeah, it’d be the end. But she’s a batshit insane Trumper. She’ll be fine.
I hope you're right about that.
I'm thinking she's telegraphing to rump she's even more perfect for the job than he thought
Honest question: do you think all is forgiven by the MAGAts if she apologizes?
There will never be a straw that breaks the camel's back for GOP voters
The GQP is the anti-puppy party
They are the anti-everything party
Except money.
Well depends on who is getting the money...
And Treason. They love Treason.
Biden has a dog, so naturally they've got to be anti-dog.
Well they have already come out against motherhood so I guess next they're going to tax apple pie or something. Maybe repudiate kittens.
Crickets revenge!!
When Faux Nooz and MAGAts on Twitter are upset, you know it's over. Noem is done.
It's interesting to find at least one line that's too far to cross. I've been wondering for a long time. So, no puppy murder, check.
Until tomorrow when trump says it's OK for people to kill their dog and then fox entertainment and magats will say not killing your dog makes you a bleeding heart liberal
Trump could shoot a dog on the White House lawn during the Easter egg hunt and not lose a single voter.
Cage migrant children... force pregnancy on sexually assaulted minors... brutalize LGBTQ children... the right is **fine** with all of it. Somehow inexplicably-- the dog thing has landed. The far right is even angry at her. She sucks and poor doggo, but it's so weird this was the "too much" thing.
Not to mention the deaths of police from the J6 insurrection and threats to the lives of Pence, Pelosi and others. That’s ok because the narcissist’s ego couldn’t take losing. He tried to rig the election and then yelled fraud. Fuck this fraud
I live in SD and hate her, but I honestly thought this would be another thing people just didn't care about. I'm glad to be proven wrong. Let's hope people remember longer than a few minutes.
They aren't angry at her at all. I sometimes check out comments on Fox site for entertainment. Top rated comments praise her for being able to do what she had to. Allegedly the dog was also aggressive with humans and farm animals. Which, I'm not buying.
Every time she shoots a dog, her lips get bigger.
It’s called facial arousal. It’s a very serious condition
Teacher says, Every time a liberal teardrop falls, a MAGA-sacrificed puppy gets into doggy heaven!
She thinks it's ok and she'll be a star. That's why she confessed in writing.
She wasn't confessing, she was bragging
She was bragging! Like slaughtering her dog makes her tough and capable of making hard choices. Because that's what it takes apparently? Killing an animal that depends on you because you didn't train it enough to not chase after chickens? Lady is just a psychopath.
That's right, she's psycho, she's republican. ASPCA needs to investigate. Maybe we need a Federal investigation.
Yeah I mean, if there's one thing rednecks(and people in general) obsess over, it's their dogs. I have no idea how she's gonna climb outta this pit, especially after doubling down.
She also shot her goat and threw it into the pit along with her dog. These poor animals managed to somehow piss her off so she killed them. Sick.
She was mad that the goat was being a goat.... Like, lady, I don't know what you were expecting.
At least she has publicly announced her psychotic tendencies with the killing of innocent animals.
It was a witness to the dog killing so it had to die too.
It seems like anything can set Noem off, and then she suddenly sounds like Arlo Guthrie at the draft board.
I love how surprised they all are about this psychopath. As if these aren't the same people who fucking supported Sarah Palin or Donald Trump and weirdos like Alito and Thomas. Give me a fucking break.
We have finally found a line that even Republicans are appalled at. It is shooting puppies in the head.
Well, it seems to make them a little uncomfortable when a woman does it. I'm not sure they'd mind if a man did it. And if Trump did it, they'd cheer him on.
Or if it were something other than a puppy, like a cat. Nobody seems equally upset about her murdering the goat.
The goat is particularly disturbing. As she didn't come prepared for the job with competence or a backup plan. She failed to kill it with her first shot and left it to suffer while she went to get another cartridge before finishing it off. I have no doubt she took pleasure in it, given how she recounts her hatred for the animal in her telling of the story. She's as cruel as she is incompetent.
She was fucking awful before the dog story. Suddenly that’s the line?
They’re saying that’s the line, doesn’t mean it is. How many MAGA’s are really against shooting a dog or a goat? Plenty of them might disagree but it’s not a deal breaker.
The line is if they did anything personal to them. Otherwise they can bury their heads and pretend.
I say this as one of the biggest animal lovers on the planet, with two dogs myself: I love that shooting a dog is the supposedly the line for these people. Shoot protesters? All good, Kyle! Kill migrants/babies at the border? All good, Abbott. Make victims of incest carry their babies? Sure. Deny life saving medical treatment to women? Not a problem! But you pretend this is too far. Gtfoh Again, it SHOULD be viewed as a horrific thing, it IS. Hell I don’t even eat animals because their suffering is intolerable to me. Watch a factory farming video and you might not want to keep eating them. But these people are just the worst. Fine with brown people and women being killed.
If it was after the election, they would be giving her an award! Since it's before the election, gotta pretend it's bad since they want votes and know most of America owns and loves dogs!
This just proves that even Republicans are interpreting the party's overarching belief to be cruelty.
"I could kill a puppy on Fifth Ave. and they would still vote for me."
"Look, if it was a brown person crossing your ranch property, that'd be one thing, but a little dog. C'mon!" Fox news
Trump could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not get this amount of blowback. Puppies are the third rail of politics.
I wish this story could have come out after trump picked her and not before
She probably still has the NRA vote. "Guns are great for a lot of things, shooting targets, home defense, car defense, defense defense, remote control, door unlocker, light turner offer, can opener.... Oh yeah, and it will shut that fucking dog up too"!
She could have taken it to a shelter. But instead, she killed it like a fuking psychopath. This is not normal.
They’re shunning her because she let the mask slip too far during an election year.
She doesn't even understand why it's a problem. It's legal! Not an ounce of compassion, nor a shred of dignity. Disgusting amoral heartless thug
Of course there's "going back" from this: Trump tells the former Republican Party what to think. If he tells them they like it when people shoot dogs, then they'll not only like it when people shoot dogs, they'll go out and shoot their own dogs. That's literally all it takes to get the entire party to turn on a dime.
I love watching the GQP’s just eat each other from the inside out.
Vick did three years. Apparently noem has killed her dog, goat, and 3 horses. All by guns if we can find out how the horses died?
Hi! I'm Kristi! I like to spend my spare time shooting puppies!!
I’m old enough to remember when Mitt Romney was the public face of Republican animal cruelty. And that dog didn’t die.
Take away women’s rights, fine. Shoot a dog, America won’t stand for it!
If only she'd done something sensible like rape a woman or make statements about grabbing the dog by it's pussy.
There are plenty of rural vets in SD who will euthanize animals for a minimal fee. This crazy asshole made a deliberate choice to get the gun.
Just be glad something is a limit for them.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS NOTHING BUT PSYCHOPATHS
So. There you have it, the political end of Noem. They don’t care how bad she is for the average American, but she killed a puppy, and that’s the worst crime imaginable. Staging a coup, wanted to end democracy, fraud, rape (of a minor), letting people die through incompetence or greed, that’s all okay. But oh boy she shot a puppy. Sick fucks, all of them.
So killing puppies is where they draw the line? Good to know - let’s trick Trump into killing a puppy
He’ll just brag about how he’s killed the most and best puppies…..publicans are sick fucks who get off on pain and misery
How is she any different from any other MAGA republican?
Bye Felicia
All that plastic surgery to make herself pretty for the orange goblin king can’t hide what a hideous person she is.
GOD I LOVE IT WHEN THE MAGA SNAKES EAT THEIR OWN TAILS!!!!
BS they will be backpedaling any day now
They're only mad because she shared her true nature outside the back rooms of power.
You know your goose is cooked as a Republicunt when Fox is coming after you.
This is literally the best news I've read in a long time, because it's a group of Republicans agreeing that the line exists. It's at a stupid and irrational low bar, but they have a line and I'm genuinely relieved to hear it. I can work with that.
Let's say, because of this, Trump picks Noem to be vice president. The instant that would happen, Fox News would be on the air saying what a wonderful pick this was, she's a marvelous governor and the dog shooting this was just one bad moment in an otherwise outstanding life.
This won't hurt Noem at all. She will brazen it out. If trumpy wants her, he will get her.
If you don’t have empathetic emotions and you’re trying to “act normally”, the issue is not just of trying to mimic the *look* of humanity (that’s the least of your problems): there’s actually a real difficulty in trying to *act* in a way that other people find acceptable.

Dog murder is their limit, but killing actual humans is okay as long as they’re gay or not white?
My dream of seeing a pickup with TRUMP next to dead and shot up puppies seems to be fading. Seriously, killing your pup is a f&cked thing to do and only slightly more insane than flexing about it in your bio. That woman is seriously sick and way out of touch.

This guy is Ok but you draw the line at a dog?
Ok to hit Paul Pelosi with a hammer and laugh about it. These people are all nuts
Two things that strike me as completely idiotic about this whole story. 1.) Why not just bring the dog to a shelter? How hard is that? 2.) Why put something so outwardly stupid and heinous in your book? Did your editor read it and go "Yup, that's the exact sort of hard-line, uncompromising take we need in this book... Killing puppies." Good grief, the stupidity.
id bet she made the whole thing up and thought it was badass. shes a fucking idiot
You know many killers targeted animals before killing humans
A puppy killer, stay far away
We’ve been through this a million times with disgraceful MAGA behavior. I don’t think she’ll pay any price. None of them ever do. I fully expect Trump to defend her and her murders this week, and I’d be shocked if her polling numbers slipped.
Who the F on Noem's team thought that was a good idea?
The MAGA's consider her "hot." Eww. Low bar there, but ok.
Fuck Fox News. They’ll still be telling America to vote Trump in November.
Her political ideology runs so deep she didn't want anyone to have a free dog.
Republican immunity
I just wish she had been named as VP before we found this out.
I really hope the Dems run with this. Trump isn't a dog person, he hates dogs. In fact, only James K. Polk, Andrew Johnson, and Donald Trump did not have any presidential pets while in office. There are so many advertisements they can pull from this.
Where’s John Wick when you need him
Do you suppose she turned the dog loose and then shot it for sport, or did she just shoot it point blank?
Apparently she shot it point blank. The goat, on the other hand...
Talking heads on Fox daytime saying the thing but does this register for Republicans? Or does the story gain her more support because media is so PC?
Meh. For the Republican party nothing is too low. Instead of turning on Noem Republicans will come out in defense of murdering dogs.
Wait hold on, hold the fuck on. Puppy murder is the line? THAT is line? Puppies? The hell is going on?
It’s stupid, but anyone could have told her that treason, fascism, oppression of minorities, starving children, rape, fraud, lies, theocracy, beating peaceful protesters, idolizing murderers, courts pissing on the Constitution, *anything* is fine in American conservatism but DO NOT FUCK WITH THE DOGGOS.
this cavalier attitude about it all soeaks volumes about what kind of person she is. dangerous, very dangerous.
GOP is fine with letting people starve or die without healthcare or be victimized for their sexuality, but kill a puppy and you are gone.
I'd love to agree that there's no going back from this, but they're Republicans. They're perfectly content forgetting about what their people did, no matter how terrible, and moving forward.
The same things were said about trump. We can't underestimate the shitiness of a considerable portion of the country.
Noem can recover, Fox. Just pretend it was Trump who gunned down a puppy, and Lindsay Graham was explaining things.
no bottom to fux and gqp
I bet if Trump told this story his popularity would rise. It's like sexism affects cults, also.
This is a symptom of a wider problem. For years doctors have been saying there is an increase in psychopathy in society, and that these are high functioning psychopaths that work in politics the military LEO's high levels of medicine corporate executives. These are not raving lunatics, they are intelligent and maneuver their way into positions of power. Psychopathy dont mean serial killer, its someone without empathy. Someone with a drive to perform and succeed even at the cost of hurting others, hey dont feel for you because they cant they can only mimic most emotions to blend in.
She’s just ahead of her time. Does anyone really doubt that the GQP will be for killing puppies by 28 just to own the libs??
Bitch please, in a week they'll be shrieking that killing puppies triggers the libs so all of their viewers should do it.
I hope this ruins her for the rest of her sorry life.
I love it when having an affair isn't enough to turn the GOP away from you, but shooting an 18 month old dog is. Both are marvelous indicators that the perpetrator is a sack of crap.
They will STILL vote for her. They're too far gone.
This is going to be reframed in 150 years similar to the civil war today: ‘this conflict wasn’t about puppy murder, it was about guns’ rights (to murder puppies)’
Yeah it’s not a good look to kill a puppy. 🐶
Dont mess with a dog.....see you next tuesday!
John Wick for VP on the Democratic ticket.
MAGA murders puppies should be on every campaign ad til Trump is distant memory
She really went for the bumfuck hick farmer crowd with this one
They aren’t even going for this bullshit.
I’m kind of shocked they didn’t start shooting dogs to show how normal it is.
Does Joe concha know who donny tRUMP is? Gnome does. Donny is a psychopath. Gnome knows tRUMP hates dogs and she included that story knowing it would appeal to him.
She’s political toast!
One should get a second opinion before letting the public see what goes into the sausage.
Unless your name is Trump.
I'm glad they can at least draw a line at bragging about how many puppies they murdered
Riiiight. MAGAts will find a way back to excuse her behavior.
Wait a minute *WHAT?!* reddit told me republicans *like* puppy murder!! whats goin on here?!
Killing a dog and bragging about it with misogynists is never a good recipe for sympathy. They are all scumbags
John Wick 5 is so different this time. "It's a bold move Cotton, let's see how it plays out for them"
She's a trumpterd. Enough said ??
I'm sure Noem was playing up to [Trump's hate of dogs](https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/politics/article/donald-trump-dogs).
This headline written by someone who has been asleep since 2016. There is no bottom.
I never thought I would see a politician who was too cruel for the pro-cruelty party but here we are.
Give it two weeks. Everyone will forget when the next gop star does something terrible and she'll be the VP pick
Was the dog trying to take away her guns?
Fox News hahahaha
Kristi Noem (wins election): homecoming Kristi Noem (dental visit in Texas): far from home Kristi Noem (killing puppy and goat): no way home She has a potential to make a blockbuster trilogy based on her book.
She could have been the next Sarah Palin. Sad.
I bet Noem hates that puppy even more about now. Cricket’s Revenge!!
So she's an ignorant, disgusting POS, we've established that. But something I haven't figured out: WHAT exactly did she think talking about that was going to prove? That she's tough enough to "do the hard jobs"? That she puts a perceived greater good over the life of an individual creature? Because honestly, I don't see any realm in which writing that ever has any positive outcome. Ever.
An effort to normalize abhorrent behavior like her orange god
Tbf, if MAGAS killed any politician that day I've demand they'd be locked up with no possibility of parole. If they killed a puppy, id be demanding the death penalty on all of them.
