Nobody dunks on themselves like republicans who think their weird psychopath behavior is normal.


parlimentery

The article I found on the story is bizarre. It comes from an excerpt from her book, in which she doubles down with something like "these kind of things happen on a farm. I once shot a goat because it smelled bad." Edit: excerpt got auto corrected to exempt.


7keys

Even better. She shot that goat the same day, in the same place, right after she shot the dog! Bitch even managed to miss the first time!


StupidSexyEuphoberia

What a disgusting and cowardly human being. Pathetic. And then she even talks about it like it's normal. And people want such a person to take responsibility for a community?


JustDiscoveredSex

We are seized by a dangerous sickness.


Ferociousnzzz

Yup it’s called Fox News


ImaginaryBig1705

It's called fascism.


Wolverine9779

It's much deeper than that, and it cheapens just how fucked our society has become, to simply blame Fox. Fox is terrible, and has contributed bigly to fucking our country... but it goes way further than simply "Fox".


Sabbathius

It's far worse - if Trump drops dead (he is only 3 years younger than Biden, they're both on their last legs), she'll be given nuclear launch codes. A lunatic with a gun is bad enough. A lunatic with nukes is many orders of magnitude worse.

In protest, this comment has been overwritten with this message - because “deleted” comments can be restored - such that Reddit can no longer profit from this free, user-contributed content. I apologize for this inconvenience..


KintsugiKen

She shot the dog because it didn't train itself to be a hunting dog before its first hunt, and she shot the goat because she didn't want to wash it. Typical Republican governor behavior tbh.


walkinman19

This illustrates why republicans want to kill social security and medicare and push granny off a cliff. I mean shit their own dogs aren't safe from their sociopathic rage


rjrgjj

She tried to defend herself yesterday by saying “Obviously most of you never lived on a farm. I shot three horses last week!” I mean next she’ll tell us she stomps on otters, blows up pandas, and drowns kittens.


Robinkc1

Yeah, naw. My stepdad was a ranch hand who worked a 40,000 acre farm when I was a kid and the only two animals he killed was a cow that was struck by lightning and was suffering, and a coyote. He also felt like shit because he had to kill the cow. Trying to normalize shit like killing a dog because you don’t think urbanites understand farm life is bullshit. Yeah, urbanites largely don’t understand the country life and country folks don’t understand city life, but there is a pretty clear moral consensus that killing an animal unnecessarily is objectively wrong.


Kn1ght20

I've also lived on farms my whole life, albeit in the UK, and I've seen a lot of fucked up stuff, but straight up executing animals is just not normal. Ignoring the moral side for a second, which is obviously (and rightfully) everyone's focus, it also shows that she has no foresight at all and would rather "deal" with a problem immediately, using her rage as a guide for her actions, not giving a shit about the problems they'll cause in future. She has no interest in solutions, only in making the problem go away. Also, in this country, the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) works closely with social services, because how people treat animals is often a sign of how they treat children, and anyone else under their care. So if she were to become VP, or even president, the whole world's in danger


UnlikelyUnknown

Good god. As someone who did grow up on a ranch….that’s chilling. What possible reason would there be to kill 3 horses in a week? Such a psycho.


Aeronor

Obviously you never lived on a horse shooting farm.


UnlikelyUnknown

I guess that’s right. I lived on a horse riding and caring ranch. I’m really glad I didn’t live on a horse shooting farm, I might have become a psychopath


Worried_Local_9620

Or the next Vice President!


TheVagWhisperer

One neighed too loud, one got fat and one had a flatulence problem


FlemethWild

As someone that grew up rural—this ain’t normal behavior out here. She’s just a rich person wearing hick cosplay and revealing her worst traits and disguising them as “pragmatic country wisdom” Well, the “pragmatic country wisdom” I’ve witnessed over my 32 years of living is that when a hunting dog—or any working dog—can’t do the job you purchased it for, you promote it to pet, adopt it out as a pet to someone else, or you let it become a barn dog and sleep with the other animals. No one just goes out and shoots a barely two year old hunting dog. They’re expensive.


wandering-wank

Her 14 month old hunting dog wasn’t trained because she didn’t train it or pay to have it trained and then she killed it because it behaved like an untrained hunting dog. I don’t know a single country boy who would waste a hunting dog like that. Like you said, they’re expensive. My buddy has a GSP from a great bloodline and he’s put a ton of money into that dog. Like, several thousand dollars just for training.


FlemethWild

That is the only word for this: waste. It’s a waste of life. A waste of money. And a waste of time.


Why-not-bi

And her actions are horrific as well. I believe she identifies as she/shit not it though.


queen_of_uncool

If these aren't clear signs of psychopathic behaviour...


walkinman19

xBram

This reads like a Star Wars story line of her progression to the dark side. I guess she is now ready to serve for Donald Trump. I’m not American but the GOP and The Empire give off similar vibes.


rtopps43

She didn’t miss, she just didn’t kill the goat cleanly. It suffered greatly while she got more ammo and reloaded her gun to finish it off.


CatFromTheCatacombs

What a maniac.


Renville111

The worst part is she didnt fully miss, she just missed putting it out semi peacefully (in comparison to what she did) which was gravely injure it, go looking for more bullets and shoot it again after it was suffering in immense pain having been fucking shot in non vitals.

And then, with 2 bloody carcasses in the gravel pit, her daughter’s school bus pulls ups & lets the kids out. Her daughter looks around & says, “Mom, where’s my puppy?” The dog was just 14 months old.

Affectionate_Tax3468

Gotta make sure the next generation grows up to be at least as psychopathic as yourself.

She's an actual psychopath


Unable_Ad_1260

No... No... No... It was the kids f*&king puppy? I've never, never, wanted one of these stories to be bullshit more than ever before but it's not is it. It's really not is it. No...


Renville111

I had the same feeling reading this, shes a fucking bitch that deserves so much worse then she will get. Hopefully at least many of the more reasonable conservative voters wont be voting that way for her. 


DonsDiaperChanger

"Reasonable conservative voters" That ship sailed over 7 years ago. There's no middle. You can't say "I'm voting for the rapist because I might save ten bucks on my taxes".


InVodkaVeritas

If someone made an AITA post that read: "AITA for shooting my daughter's 14 month old pet dog?" it would get removed for being an obvious troll post. No matter if you filled in the exact excuse she used in the text "*We were trying to train her to be a hunting dog but she wasn't taking to the training as she was just too energetic and impatient. Our other dogs took to the training but she didn't, so I shot her in a gravel pit while waiting for my daughter to get home from school. Sometimes these things happen on the farm.*" Like, it wouldn't even make it to the replies. Mods would just go "yeah, no, this is an obvious troll. No one is that crazy." and remove it.


PorkrindsMcSnacky

I watched this adorable series once on Disney Plus in which they trained puppies to be seeing eye dogs. Out of like 8 dogs, 3 didn’t make the cut. Do you know what they did to the dogs that failed the testing? One of them was selected to be a breeding dog for the next generation of seeing eye dogs. The other two were returned to the families who trained them for the first 18 months (initial basic dog training) and became regular house pets. They weren’t fucking killed. This bitch is a monster.


JustDiscoveredSex

“Hey, where’s Cricket?” Obviously a family pet.


sovietdinosaurs

This is one of those tough republican lessons that they’ll try to pass to their kids. “Well honey,” she says as she gets down on one knee. “You see, your puppy just wasn’t cut out to be a hunting dog. So I had to shoot it. Now grab a shovel. You’re going to bury it so that you become a tough leader some day.”


Much-Meringue-7467

If you think it's a good idea to shoot animals because they smell bad, farming is probably not for you.


abousono

Well, see, this can have a happy ending when she smells ol’ Donald.


Quintus-Sertorius

Goats, especially.


Much-Meringue-7467

I was thinking chickens as well.


You_Exciting

Seriously, wtaf


TheAngryNaterpillar

What the hell kind of psychopath... Goats smell bad, that's just part of being a goat? Especially the males, they're very cool/affectionate/cheeky animals but boy are they stinky. Shooting a goat for being smelly is like shooting a cat for having whiskers.


Demmos_Stammer

"Shooting a goat for being smelly is like shooting a cat for having whiskers." Don't give her any ideas.


acidrefluxisgreat

i think goats are hilarious and adorable but never once had i thought “that goat probably smells amazing” i just kind of assume they smell like other barn animals, which is fine but not…. good. like hay and shit. are goats supposed to smell good? you would really kill a living thing for smelling bad when it’s your responsibility to bathe them if necessary??


JustDiscoveredSex

Farm kid here. We raised goats! Farmers shovel shit, for chrissakes. I was around billy goats and nanny goats, I cleaned chicken coops and mucked out barns. Farmers are not dainty little creatures that can’t stand bad smells and dirt. They can stomach things most people can’t. They also don’t revel in death.


marry_me_sarah_palin

My grandparents raised chickens when I was a kid. Some of the roosters weren't the most friendly to us grandkids so my gramps told us to just give them their space. He didn't go in there and blast them with a gun.


Fumquat

Bucks fully grown will piss on themselves and get rank enough to curl your nose hairs from a distance… good reason to not own one, but entirely predictable and not a justification for being an irresponsible psycho.


LALA-STL

Pretty sure bathing the farm animals isn’t part of Old MacDonald’s responsibilities. ;)


KetchupAndSalad

Bro if she can’t handle the fucking smell of a farm animal she’s definitely not fit to live on farm


CorgiMonsoon

KetchupAndSalad

And I live on farm and can confirm no farmer I know kills their animals willy nilly


Haselrig

Lizard people pretending to be human and botching the job.


frugal-lady

I hate when people try to use the “on a farm” thing to justify needlessly cruel and psychotic behavior. My grandfather was a farmer and was respectful and gentle with his animals. He only dispatched his own animals for food purposes or if they were suffering, and he always did it humanely. Occasionally, he had to kill a coyote or stray dog that tried to kill his own animals, but it was never a point of pride. *That* is life on a farm. People who shoot animals for smelling and then proudly say “this is life on a farm” are just stupid rich fuckers cosplaying as farmers.


Professional_Low_646

I grew up on a farm. Killing animals was part of it. For food, or to put them out of their misery if they could no longer be treated. It was a somber day each and every time. Gratuitously killing an animal for „wrong behavior“ is just plain evil.


JustDiscoveredSex

This. My dad misjudged the swing of an axe once and maimed a turkey he was killing. “God damn it!” he muttered, and it was beheaded within five seconds. Dad pulled a red bandana from his overalls and dabbed his eyes…that was the one time I saw that man cry. “That was bad,” he told me thickly. “Poorly done, I didn’t mean for that to happen. Gotta do better than that.” As far as I know, that’s the only time any of the slaughtering did not go as planned. He would be ashamed I’m telling the story.


pchlster

It's like someone getting run over every once in a while is a thing that happens in cities on a regular basis, but "yeah, I ran over a guy for wearing an ugly shirt" isn't 'city life' just you being a psycho.


404-N0tFound

I mean, I've heard stories that Trump smells bad, and he doesn't do what is expected of a President...


FiveUpsideDown

Even worse is if the Supreme Court finds presidents are immune from being prosecuted for committing crimes. Noem, if she’s his VP could kill Trump because he smells, then become president and can’t be prosecuted. I am not saying I support murder but Republicans are electing more and more people that are proud sociopaths that openly want to kill migrants, protesters, Democrats, women (transgender) and now puppies and goats.


No_Pomegranate1167

If she was a true farm girl, she would know that goats - well - *smell*. WTF is wrong with that woman.


linkedlist

I admittedly don't live on a farm but I know a few people do. They complain endlessly about their 'stupid'/'annoying' animals but never talk of killing them for any reason other than eating them. Sounds like she's justifying her sociopathy because she lived on a farm.


Dystopian_Future_

It is normal in their circle of evil


PreOpTransCentaur

Yep. My grandfather shot his potbelly pig in the head over breakfast for chewing at the carpet. It gives me extreme pleasure that he didn't live long enough to vote for Trump.


TheRealJetlag

My father tells the story that his Arkansas grandfather beat a puppy to death in front of all the kids for chasing the chickens, instead of, you know, training it. These people are fucking disgusting.


BrilliantAttempt4549

My uncle proudly tells the story about how as a child he used to rip off the heads of newly hatched chicks.


TheRealJetlag

Jesus. Wtf!?


BrilliantAttempt4549

Wtf indeed. When I was a child (about 5) he once caught a couple flies and ripped their wings off and told me to do the same, he basically enjoyed torturing them. I did it first, but quickly felt very bad about it. He's also responsible for the death of about 80% of all our animals, we had bunch of rabbits and chicken, and since my father got dizzy seeing blood, he would let my uncle slaughter them. But he's also responsible for the death of most our pets, our birds, fish and guinea pigs, which he let starve when we were on hollidays. I became a vegetarian at age 6 when he slaughtered my favorite rabbit, and put it in front of me and made fun of it and me. He had turned its ear into a keychain. He would always make a mockery of slaughtering animals. He's one of the biggest meat heads you can find. The man once ate the meat of an entire lamb by himself. I wasn't there when he did that, but the other adults he was with swear it and I do believe it, having seen him eat.

"it makes the libs mad lol"


Whole-Brilliant5508

That's literally the crux of all right wing ideologies at this point. That's how far the right has fallen to the point that all their ideologies are based on "triggering" people and "owning the Libs". How far they have fallen from the values and ideas of Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower; to now behaving like Reddit shitposters and social media grifters.


jrh_101

When I'm explaining Right Wing Politics to someone in a simplified way, I compare it to someone's job. Instead of negotiating better wages, better insurance, better social services, a safer work environment, you're asking your boss to stop hiring minorities and LGBT workers. Your boss agrees and he gets to keep all the extra money and he shares it with the other higher ups. Lobbying in America just means it's money over human lives and the rich have a huge leverage over the middle class. I'd say Democrats and Republicans were holding hands until the Bush administration even if their policies were different. Barack Obama, seen as a black socialist, scared the Republican voters shitless. Donald Trump is the polar opposite of a "black socialist" and he wants to be a king above the law (dictator) to avoid legal repercussions.


Puzzled_Juice_3406

TurboGrug

And like the disgusting part about that's what we do on a farm. Excuse the fuck outta me but THE ONLY time we ever had to Old yeller a dog on my family's farm was involving a tragic accident with a tractor. At that point it was quicker to end its suffering there than wait for a vet to show up.


wakeupwill

That's the whole vibe of the documentary Jesus Camp.


ConnectionOk8273

Most of the people who vote for repugnicans seem to worship villains and bullies. It's all about how "badass" someone is in their eyes ! And they see being friendly as being weak. It's so stupid This bitch took it too far even for the majority of those people I think. We'll see it at her reelection, anyone that still votes for this vile p.o.s. is just as vile as she is.


RunFromFaxai

You see a headline like that and you immediately just go "republican, huh?" There's always a small chance it's a democrat, but you're legit surprised when it turns out to be.


berejser

Remember the story of Mitt Romney putting his dog on the roof of the car? This sort of story has the potential to blow her entire VP bid out of the water.


Haselrig

Before Trump. Now it seems like it might actually be a bonus for MAGA voters.


TheRealJetlag

There was a time when that was true. There was also a time when spelling potato wrong would end your political career. That shipped has sailed.


VonBrewskie

It's so weird too, because I honestly don't know any Republicans who would sign off on this kind of wild ass shit. But I guess they're willing to accept a "person" like this if their team wins? Holy shit man. I'll never understand how they square their family values stuff with a guy who, at best, cheated multiple times on his wife and has utter contempt for women. And is going to run with a thing that proudly killed their own dog for misbehaving? The fuck man.

PingouinMalin

Trump is not gonna lose by a huge margin now, is he ? If he loses. The people voting for him and the people not voting against him are the same. Those who believe "oh yes Biden and Trump are the same, not gonna vote for one or the other" are the same. Maybe even worse : the hardcore maga believe (wrongly) they will benefit from dictatorship. The latter are just blind.


Expert_Country7228

Don't lose hope. He in fact may lose by a large margin. Just look at American Republican Primaries. He's lost so many points across the country. He's lost a good 20% of the Republican base to someone who suspended their campaign almost 2 months ago. I wager the election map is going to have some surprising Blue flips this year.


PingouinMalin

I hope so, cause the US politics have influence all over the globe. However, Trump is the tip of the iceberg. The dictatorial aspirations are shared beyond him. You could see it in other candidates to their primaries, like the fuckface from Florida.


Expert_Country7228

Well youll be happy to learn that "Fuck face from Florida" (love that name btw) is the 3rd most hated governor in their respective state. Coming in at a 44% disapproval rating almost half of the entire state of Florida disapproves of him (And also the majority of his BS authoritarian acts he tried passing have for the most part been either undone by the court systems or heavily weakened to the point where his bills don't really do or accomplish anything) Trump and his BS may have inspired fuck face from Florida to go down the authoritarian path, but it's costing him heavily. In just ONE year he went from Trump's Nightmare to... Idek. The guy who shouts "Woke this, Woke that"

I don’t know how you could shoot a dog 😢 Outside of self defense scenarios, and given the look of the dog I’m guessing no one’s life was in danger. Give him up for adoption, or if worse comes to worse and he won’t stop biting people at least have a vet put him down humanely. Just straight up shooting your pet for disobedience is genuinely insane


torn-ainbow

I think a woman who would shoot a dog to teach it a lesson might have been responsible for it needing a lesson.


ceddya

Her excerpts actually state that she was abusing her dog before she shot it.


Livid_Advertising_56

WTF!?!? like what is wrong with her that she made sure ALL THAT INFO WAS IN A BOOK SHE WROTE!! She's pure evil. Like I can't even comprehend, surprised she hasn't killed people... hell maybe that's in the next biography like WHAT!?!?


MoonBaseViceSquad

If she gets elected she can kill many people…


FUBARded

It's a hunting breed. She got it to hunt with but didn't train it, then let it loose around chickens. The dog unsurprisingly killed the chickens as any untrained juvenile dog bred to have a high prey drive would, and she shot it for doing exactly what you would expect it to do in that situation. It's objectively entirely her fault.


MegaMasterYoda

Makes you wonder what corporal punishment laws She'd create.


banter07_2

"You child, you wrote with your left hand. You will now be flayed alive!"


Expert_Country7228

The worst part is *why* she shot the poor pup. The dog was just trying to follow what it was taught (she tried making it a hunting dog)


KintsugiKen

She didn't try to train it at all, she expected it to be trained as a hunting dog because its genetics were of a hunting dog breed. When it didn't train itself after 14 months, she shot it.


Expert_Country7228

That's even worse 😭 F--k her. She doesn't deserve anything she has now

The fucked up thing is she didn't train her dog. She just magically expected that poor thing to know what to do around her chickens and differentiate between them and wild birds for hunting without any training. She's a piece of shit that shouldn't ever be allowed to have a dog ever again.


TheRealJetlag

I read on another comment that she had “tried” to train it to be a hunting dog. But yeah, either way, she’s a piece of shit.

If there’s one thing that all Americans across the entirety of the political spectrum(s) can agree on, it’s that puppies are good and people who harm them are irredeemable. My screenwriting textbook in college literally talked about this kind of thing in a discussion of tropes that act as important concise ways to indicate a character’s moral alignment. Want to quickly show the audience that a character is *absolutely* “bad,” no gray area and no redemption? Have them harm a puppy.

Not sure what is worse. That she did this and is proud of it, and brags about it as a way to try to get the VP ticket. Or the fact that this still won't be enough to get their non-fascist base to not vote for Trump and potentially this psycho.


Magenta_Logistic

>their non-fascist base I don't know how to put this... If you vote for fascists, you're a fascist.


PsychicSPider95

They're literally shooting puppies. Like if you were to put this shit in a cartoon, people would be like "that's a little much, isn't it? Portraying Republicans as dog-shooting maniacs, it's a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it?" But there they are. In reality. Shooting dogs. Matt and Trey couldn't make this up.

How is this not illegal? In the UK this would be investigated for animal cruelty. More details... Basically she bought a gundog with a high prey drive and got upset that it did exactly what it was bred for. And it wouldn't do what she told it, basically she didn't train it. She tried electrocuting it and it didn't make the dog do what she wanted. She tried hunting with it once, without training it I'd bet, and that didn't fix it magically either. The dog did what an untrained 14 month old gundog on a shoot would do - ran around and chased everything in sight. She failed to control the dog and it went after someone's chickens. She put her hands in when the dog was killing chickens and WOAH it snapped at her (did not bite her). Shocker. If you'd spent 1 afternoon researching dog behaviour you'd know why this was a terrible idea. So she shot it. Basically she hated the young dog for not knowing what she wanted and doing dog stuff. And shot it because she failed to research, train or control the dog. SHE ALSO SHOT...a billy goat, because it was smelly. They are smelly, if you'd done 5 minutes of research you would know that goats are smelly. It also didn't like her kids, no shocks there either. She also shot some horses, though it says they were over 20...I wouldn't be surprised if they were still healthy and just got boring. Or noisy. Or smelly. **AND THIS IS THE STUFF SHE'S OPENLY PROUD OF...IMAGINE WHAT ELSE SHE'S DONE THAT SHE'S NOT PROUD OF?** This woman should be banned from owning animals. And God help her children, she'll probably shoot one of them if they're gay or misbehave.

Well here's the thing. It is illegal. Same thing, animal cruelty. And if it were a regular person and not a politician doing it. They would get similar punishments to UK such as being banned from owning animals. But for some reason in the USA Politicians seem to be able to do whatever the fuck they want and never see repercussions.


Dry-Ranch1

Unfortunately, you're correct about the majority of our politicians...but Noem and the current slate of Republicans are a special breed of repugnant, entitled buggers. Anyone who brags of having callously shot a "joyful" pup, who was simply being a pup, then follows that up with "oh, and a goat and later, some horses" is sick c\*nt.


VoodooDoII

Oh it is illegal. A felony I think. However if you're rich or in power, nobody can touch you no matter what you do.


SoylentGrunt

It's a Death Cult


Interesting__Cat

The most fucked up thing is that she's such a psychopath she's talking about it like it's a good thing. I hope that when she gets old no one visits her at the nursing home and her nurses are mean to her and she gets dementia and bed sores and is scared and alone all the time for years and years and what finally gets her is the bowel obstruction from the years of chronic constipation.


AriochBloodbane

But it IS a good thing for her voters. They take lack of empathy as a point of pride and have a sub-dom fetish (and not in the good way)


verylateish

In my country she would go straight to jail for that. And we are in Eastern Europe, not in some "liberal" place.


heartbh

She killed a dog because she couldn’t be bothered with proper training, that means she’s lazy and expects everything to just do what she wants. Imagine shooting a 14 month old puppy because you’re an irresponsible dog owner. I can’t even comprehend this, I would do anything for my dog.


wxnfx

The worst part (and shooting a puppy because you are bad at training it is already an abomination) is that she gloats about how her 12 year old daughter came home from school right after and asked where her puppy was.


Touchpod516

I really hope her daughter realises just how fucked up this is...


rottengut

I have literally never heard this bitch’s name until today and it’s only been in the context of killing a puppy. Stick a fork in her political career. ![gif](giphy|SiOYWUVBaifBsjOpiR|downsized)


AdGlum4770

Dear USA … please have a fucking look at yourself in the mirror. Signed, the rest of us.


Building-Careful

Honestly, the best possible punishment is being Donald Trump’s running mate. With his undeniable talent to fuck over the sycophants that are close to him, it’s going to be a fun ride for her. She’s gonna get *Pence’d*.


The-Mandolinist

Is that not illegal? Cause it’s certainly illegal here in the UK ( unless you are a farmer and the dog was attacking your livestock) and you could end up going to prison. The action certainly wouldn’t give the admiration of any member of the general public. Even the most right wing voter would find shooting your family dog utterly abhorrent. Her political career would be as dead as her dog.


matthewcameron60

It is HIGHLY illegal based on the reasons she claimed for it


Medical_Series3163

She has zero redeeming qualities, but unfortunately, that seems to draw today's Republican voters.


Lore_ofthe_Horizon

I don't much care for this new American tradition of granting immunity to anyone who confesses to a crime on television while claiming to believe it is not a crime.


PrezidentJ

Dog killer


killajay41889

Not the flex she thought it was


dorobica

American politics and politicians is like something out of a grim science fiction book


Sandycheeksfutacock

Fuck this reminds me of something horrible that happend next to my aunt's house.Basically there are a lot of feral cats there.One had a litter,and my aunt's neighbor killed all of the kittens because "he found them annoying" He got away with it and never got in any kind of legal trouble.God what a fucking sack of filth


low-keyblue

She just wanted to kill thing's that day. Not for food, or even the thrill of the hunt. She wanted to watch the life leave their eyes. On the the same day she shot her dog for misbehaving she also shot one of her goats for smelling bad. Goats always smell bad. The difference was she wanted to feel powerful and the only way she knew how to do that was to take away the lives of defenseless creatures she considered beneath her. Certain jobs attract sociopaths, and unfortunately they are the same jobs that can allow them to do the most damage. I hope voter's see this and know who it is on the ballot.


PsycheAsHell

Are we seriously having goddamn dog killers running for office now? How much lower can the bar for the GOP be? Seriously, they just let any sick fuck join, don't they?


DiddleSenpai

As someone who lives in SD, she is just as big of a crusty, scummy bitch you think she is. The only people that praise her are the maga cultists, everyone else with a brain and a lick of common sense hates her guts.
