(81,637 posts)She'll have too much rehabillitation to do, to have ANY hope of recovery for her reputation. Actually, I should correct that. WHAT reputation?

But, if she invites you to go for a ride with her in her truck...JUST DON'T.
All half-hearted jokes aside, a for Cricket and even more the goat she allowed to suffer after failing a "clean shot." An abysmal woman in need of some major KARMA...

(22,289 posts)despicable. Even my sister and husband, who raises animals (used to dealing w/ animals, cattle, etc.) thought so.
She's going to have a hell of a time downplaying this.

(47,810 posts)in her book, tells you what kind of judgment she has. Any person who knows anything about people would realize that dog lovers would be highly offended by what she did.
She apparently has crappy political instincts as well as piss poor principles.

(20,822 posts)reasons why I finally left South Dakota for Minnesota permanently and why hubby, a lifelong South Dakotan, had no trouble joining me. The state has really changed in the past ten or so years. Twenty years ago, when I first moved there, the state would never have gone for Trump and Noem. People would have seen right through them. Noem barely won her first governor's race, she very nearly lost to Democrat Billy Sutton.
But now, the state's just gone fucking crazy and full theocratic fascist authoritarian while screaming about "freedom". It's really painful to see. Hubby spent nearly seventy years there and said he never thought it would ever happen.

(47,810 posts)I had no idea that it was that bad. It has just been recently that I've seen Noem in the news a lot. I'm sorry that you and your husband had to go into exile.

PatSeg
(47,810 posts)And she just doubles down on that god-awful story making it even worse.
I don't associate very much with any republicans these days, but the few who are in my life are huge dog and cat lovers. They'd put their beloved pets before politics any day.

(1,341 posts)In South Dakota's fields, where prairies sigh, a solemn hush beneath the vast blue sky. With never a bond between a dog and she, Cricket now mourns the land, in reverent plea.
Cricket, a beautiful dog with fur so fine, now rests beneath the prairie's gentle line. Her paws once danced in joyful grace, now stilled beneath Earth's soft embrace.
Kristi Noem, without sorrow, deep and raw, grieves not for Cricket, her loyal paw. Through days of sunshine and nights of chill, they had no bond, enduring still.
But now the silence whispers her name, in every breeze and every flame. For Cricket's spirit, though gone from sight, lives on in memories, forever bright.
So let the tears fall, let hearts grieve, for Cricket's departure, we can't retrieve. Yet in the corners of Kristi's mind, her disgusting love of tRump lingers, making her blind.

Why oh why don't we at least get to be in that timeline? Oh well, guess we have to settle for her ruined career a la carte. /complain
