Maybe we should keep dogs away from Kristi Noem.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 62 points 1 year ago

Maybe guns too.

She's doing a twisted admixture of "the cruelty is the point" and "I think I'm a badass who can make the hard choices" with this sociopath bullshit.

Sadly it will appeal to a certain type of voter.

David Brooks and the rest of the NYT editorial board will be totally behind puppy murder in a week, and I'll have to hear my liberal friends both sides it...

[–] ZeroCool@vger.social 69 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Republicans are now the pro-dog killing party lol. If there's one thing you can depend on Republicans to do, it's make the dumbest choice imaginable in any given situation.

[–] MiDaBa@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

And then double down on those choices. Their play book seems to consist of:

  • Doing something awful
  • Getting callled out and immediately doubling down on their awful choice
  • Attempt to re-frame said choice as their toughness that "snowflakes" couldn't understand
  • Then finally to just embrace the fact that they and their followers are just worthless people with very limited morals. Somehow this is also viewed as strength to them.

Thanks for reminding me about the proud boy leader taking a dildo up the ass near the last election.

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 year ago

Don't forget the whole "real men wear diapers" thing

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago
  • Support the police
  • Police shoot your dog
  • Shooting your dog is virtuous

It all adds up. /s

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Yet people still vote for them

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 52 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's kinda amazing that our political discourse has gotten to the point where people will double down on anything. I feel like if a Republican presidential candidate got caught molesting a child the next big push from the party would be lowering age of consent.

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did you know a number of states have fought efforts to raise the age of consent or marriage with parental approval?

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 1 year ago

See, now I was to an extent kidding, but if you go back to /all there's an article right there that I'd almost be tempted to say was poor timing on my part.

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is EXACTLY what Pro Life Family Values means to me! Killing puppies!

[–] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

It's not so much about the puppies. It's killing anything that doesn't respect your authority. It could be a puppy, a kitten, a rabbit, a minority, anything...the important thing is that your unearned status is protected through fear and force.

[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago (2 children)

She should open a pet store where you bring your existing pet and then she just shoots it and tells you why she had to.

[–] Syd@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

Ya know, I really don't think she should.

[–] Plopp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

She could call it Shit Ass Pet Killers.

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago

I mean, by all accounts, Commander is a problem and biting staff repeatedly wouldn't fly anywhere but the White House, but the answer isn't shooting him in the backyard. She's a fucking psychopath. I shouldn't be surprised that she's decided to double down on dog murderer as a good quality.

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Guys, I wouldn't vote for her if I were you. I'm pretty sure if she wins she's going to kill everyone's dog

Someone needs to start buying billboard ad space and make them say "Kristi Noem wants to kill YOUR dog"

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Talk about doubling down...

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's nice to at least see some honesty out of a politician for once haha she seems so proud of herself

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

At least for that bit. Don't ask her about meeting foreign leaders though.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

is this lady a cop? she fucking loves killing dogs

[–] ours@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The DEA will probably give her honorary agent status.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Substitute her arguments about a "working dog" for a minority person. Because you hear it all the time in rural areas and her home town...

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This woman is a dog serial killer, check her backyard

[–] Maultasche@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

“Joe Biden’s dog has attacked 24 Secret Service people,” and that's what I call praxis

Commander said ACAB

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

How many non-secret service people have been bitten by Commander? If the answer is zero, what do these secret service people do to antagonise Commander?

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 10 points 1 year ago

Commander was sent to an undisclosed location after the Secret Service recorded 24 biting episodes involving him between October 2022 and July 2023, about half of which required medical attention.

The South Dakota governor, who had been widely seen as a contender to be former President Donald J. Trump’s running mate, wrote in the book about a female wire-haired pointer named Cricket that she had hoped to use to hunt pheasant on her ranch. She said that the dog proved “untrainable,” “dangerous to anyone she came in contact with” and “less than worthless” as a hunting dog — so she shot her in a gravel pit.

In the CBS interview, Ms. Noem sought to defend the killing of Cricket — and a goat she also shot the same day — as “a choice I made over 20 years ago” to “protect people.”

Of course I could see them put real life Cruella de Vil on the ticket.

The pussy hunter and the puppy slayer join forces at last!
