You can’t make this shit up 🐶
I wonder if krist would be trainable or worth anything in an ethics class.
Why do I need to know this?
Because you and everyone else in the world are american and must know about everything every american public figure has ever done.

No. No I shouldn’t.
My father was terrible towards my brother and I but he was even worse towards animals. Any sign of behavior that he could interpret as “disrespect” or aggression from an animal and he’d either abuse it or kill it. And he was also so fucking proud of himself after even bragging about it like he was some paragon of masculinity asserting his dominion over man and beast.
The fucking psychopath still wonders why I don’t talk to him outside of the holidays and family crises.
Same Kristi Noem who as governor spent $5 million of S. Dakota’s COVID money on a tourism campaign, saying her state was coping with the pandemic using “personal responsibility and freedom”.
I have a theory about her intentions for writing about killing that dog.
Noem published her autobiography while vying to be the republican running mate in the election. On the one hand, why would she choose to publish something so openly sinister in her autobiography, at such a consequential time for her political career? She must have known that story would get picked up and blasted in the media. But part of me wonders if maybe, that was her goal. Maybe by including the dog story in her book, Noem was sending a signal to Trump that she wouldn’t flinch to do the cruel, dirty work that maga wants done. And now here she is, doing dirty work.
Oh for sure. Look at the Huckabees, dog torturing/killing family, much beloved by Trump. I’m Sarah Huckabee’s neighbor and her dog Traveler is a total asshole, my dog hates him, but I also feel bad for whatever might happen to him.
I can’t wait for someone to mention her name and I can dimlight 'em like, ‘that famous dog murderer? She’s in politics now?’
Are you talking about the tuna melt puppy killer?
Is there anyone reading Lemmy that wasn’t already aware of this one? I mean, it’s not bad to bring it up again (and again, and again, etc), but it’s hardly news.
But if you haven’t already, be sure to see the second 2025 episode of South Park!
Or don’t. Decent satire but absolutely horrible episode. I almost did a spit take at the ending. Its barely even a coherent story.
I didn’t even know who she was until this post.
Fuck. Sorry you lost your ignorance.
I’ve seen this news story so many times – months ago. And considering the inhumanity of this administration, the blatant violations of the law it commits, the blatant racism, and how it tramples on constitutional democracy, I am constantly amazed that it seems to be this stirring up American sentiment. That’s probably how it is in the age of social media. Not reason but a sob story with a puppy dog is what it takes to reach people.
Edit just to be on the safe side: This does not only apply to the US, of course—it is the same worldwide.
She killed her puppy in a gravel pit, and got such a buzz off of it, she killed her goat right after.
I think she deserves the same
I only learned about this because of the latest episode of South park.
She wrote it in her fucking auto-biography! She was bragging about it! She was proud of it, she thought it made her sound tough, but it only made her sound like the psychopath that she is.
BTW, she also wrote that after killing the puppy, she immediately killed a goat that she said was “disgusting.” So she got angry enough at a recalcitrant puppy that she yanked out a handgun and shot it, and was still so fired up, she had to kill something else, too.
I’ve been really angry before, but never angry enough to pull a gun and start killing all the innocent animals in my proximity. Now that she is essentially untouchable, what happens if she gets that furious at a person?
I assume she refers to herself as a responsible gun owner of course
What does it say about her voters?
Technically it was one of the reasons that she was considered ineligible for POTUS by the RNC. 34 time convicted felon with a history of Sexual Assault had all the right qualifications though.
✔️ White ✔️ Male
She wasn’t elected to anything. She was just appointed to a job that requires exceptional cruelty. You could see how she’d be uniquely qualified.
And she is sex crime felon? She is a predator? That’s new to me. Horrid
I choose to believe that they’re completely uninformed and uneducated because that’s better than the alternative.
They can be both “uninformed and uneducated” and “racist/sexist”
What is wrong with her face?
Stuff removed, stuff added, everything pulled tight. It’s like taxidermy but for still alive vanity-obsessed women, and it often looks like it too.
Taxidermy for her dead soul.
still alive
Debatable.
it’s filled with puppy fat from every one of her victims.
Why focus on her cruelty to animals and not all the horrible things she’s done to people?
Why not both? But also animals are generally innocent regardless of your place on the political spectrum. The fact she put down a dog (and later a goat) for such a petty reason demonstrates her inability to empathize with other living things; in short it reveals her as the psychopath she is.
There’s a movie called Shallow Grave. Ewan McGregor’s character is on the phone at work at a newspaper. We hear his side of the conversation:
Was there a pet in the house? Yeah, a pet. You know, like a dog or a budgie or a gerbil or something? What I need here is “PC Plod saves Harry the Hamster from house of horror”. All right. Well, that’s a pity. You see, no pets - no human angle.
This line has lived rent free in my head for almost 30 years. “All right. Well, that’s a pity. You see, no pets - no human angle.”
