  2. Fuck that deranged psycho. Who digs a shallow grave for a puppy and then throws it in before shooting it in the head? This is what you get when you vote MAGA 

  3. This sadistic freak might be a future serial killer.

  4. It’s difficult for me to hate MAGA world more, but she found a way.

    “Where’s Cricket?” needs to be shouted anytime she’s near.

  5. I’m waiting for Mitt Romney to weigh in: “*see, the dog on the roof of the car story wasn’t so bad, amirite?*”

  6. But if Trump says it’s okay with him, republican voters will dutifully fall in line without question.

  7. She’s signalling what she’d do as Trump’s VP.

    Who would she gun down in a gravel pit?

  9. Cruelty carries MAGA. It’s not simply trying to return the country to a place that never existed. It’s about vanquishing foes along the way. Evening the score. To me, these headlines are aimed at the rest of us. No amount of headlines make me believe there isn’t a fringe that isn’t fed by this kind of abject cruelty and see’s it as a positive in their leaders. “This ain’t no Pence that chooses the Constitution over Trump; this is a stone cold righteous soldier for Trump.”

  10. Love for dogs in a universal thing. Most dogs in the U.S. are treated like children or essential family members. Her story was tone deaf and self inflicted mishap of epic proportions.

  11. This is the kind of story the GOP desperately shouldn’t want because it loud enough for Independents who aren’t paying attention to politics but both party needs to win for the general.

  12. Coming soon from a Trump Rally : *But Kristi Noem. Doesn’t she look great? And the dogs, ok? People are saying that the dog was bad, and I don’t have a dog but she knew what to do. Sleepy Joe had a dog that bit people they say. So dogs. I don’t know about them. But Kristi is doing that with dogs that bite.  She’s pretty tough. Everyone says not as tough as me – they say sir, you don’t have any dog, but Kristi is ok because she knows how to take care of them if they bite or did other things that were not so good. If I had a dog it would be the best dog ever but I don’t. I don’t. I don’t have a dog, but if I did I would kill it much, much better than her. But look at her though. Isn’t she gorgeous*?

  15. I hope her career crashes and burns and never recovers. Fuck her.

  16. I wonder what else she’s done that she won’t admit to. It’s baffling she thought this disclosure would reflect well on her.

  17. Why is every mainstream Republican Politician insane and evil?

  19. This fucking psycho killed a puppy and a baby goat because the baby goat smelled bad.

  20. This is such a bizarre story to tell. My only guess is that she attempted to put it out with her own spin before it came out otherwise, but it blew up in her face.

  23. Don’t know what’s worse, the fact that she did it, or the fact that she puts it in a book, making the assumption her followers won’t give a shit. Both are scary.

  24. So she can’t even properly train a dog and she thinks she should be second in line to run the country?

    Also, instead of accepting that she is terrible at training dogs , she blames the dog and murders it in cold blood. Sorry, we don’t need that level of dissonance and narcissism here. We’ve had enough already with Drowsy Don.

  25. Imagine being a witness to this.

    What a fucking psycho. Someone that insane doesn’t need power, they need to be locked up.

  26. First thing I thought of was America’s reaction to Romney’s story about strapping his dog in a carrier to the top of his car. And how NOBODY defended it. I’d say she’s cooked, but this isn’t 2012.

  27. If you shoot a dog in the head just to watch it die, there is an 80% chance that you are a psychopath. If you don’t realize that you should keep that act a secret, it’s 100%.

  28. In the party of Kyle Rittenhouse, where crossing state lines to hunt humans is considered heroic, she thought killing puppies was supposed to help her image

  30. The moniker, Dog Killer needs to follow her everywhere she goes from now till infinity: Letters, email, text, phone calls, billboards, signs, bumper stickers, flags you name it. It needs to haunt her every waking move.

  33. Not killing puppies is something all americans can get behind.

  34. Funny how her name isn’t popping up at all on the conservative sub – you would have thought a potential VP candidate releasing a book would have generated something on there..

    But no, they bury their heads and ignore it.
