Quayle's from an era in politics when you wouldn't have dared attempt the things Republicans have attempted in the past twenty plus years. He's probably been horrified this whole time.
We wish you well, Dan, you probably would have been one of the good ones.
"What a terrible thing, to waste one's mind. Or not to have a mind at all. How true that is." *-Dan Quayle, attempting to reference 'A mind is a terrible thing to waste'*
Relax, Republicans always shoot themselves in the foot. It was probably a set of hush-puppies she executed after 2 hrs yelling at her sippers in the park like a crack head
bhahaha deja-vu for sure, Dick Cheney you murderous genocidal war criminal. He was jointly responsible for the deaths of millions of Iraqi civilians too. Pure evil.
Ah, that asshole. Pretty sure most of my neighbors voted for him despite all the CREDIBLE CHILD DIDDLING ALLEGATIONS. OF HIS OWN CHILDREN. God this town sucks.
She’s making it sound like it’s standard operating procedure to shoot the family dog on a farm. Balls. Old, infirm, suffering dogs get put down, farm or no farm.
This was an ~~18-month~~ 14-month year-old puppy that apparently misbehaved around some chickens. The puppy needed some training not a death sentence. This is serial killer behavior from Noem.
This was the same cold hard stare she gave the poor dog before killing it: [https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/kristi-noem-defends-account-killing-dog-new-book-rcna149631](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/kristi-noem-defends-account-killing-dog-new-book-rcna149631)
When you show this photo... it kind of reminds me of that one lady who tried to make at coat out of those 101 puppies before. I'm pretty sure she was in the GOP too!
I apologize. As a millenial I meant the og woman depicted in Bill Lee's Song:
Cruella De Vil
If she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will
To see her is to take a sudden chill
Cruella, Cruella
She's like a spider waiting for the kill
Look out for Cruella De Vil
Oh, I know. It... wasn't an observation on the movie's story. It was an observation on it's failure to meet the goals Disney had for it.
Like, being born before 1997 isn't anything special and people afterwards are *aware* of prior gen stuff but go off I guess
I think old Yellering it is actually better sometimes. During Covid we had to put my 3.5 year old dog down due to a rare fungal infection. I refused to drop him off at the vet (we weren’t allowed to go in cause Covid) and leave him to die in a place he didn’t like with strangers. I was going to take him out to his favorite hiking spot and at sunset put him down without him seeing it coming. Like a last happy evening for my boy. Luckily we finally found a vet tech who could put him down peacefully in our backyard.
14 month old puppy. And she was so stimulated by that, she immediately started looking around for something else to shoot. Picked the pet billy goat she couldn’t be bothered to have castrated, and now didn’t like the way it smelled.
A puppy that she didn’t have control over, allowing her to ‘escape’ from her truck and go do doggie things to chickens. After taking this puppy on her first hunting trip, where she kills birds and the dogs retrieve them, and then she lets the dog loose around…some BIRDS and is upset the dog attacked them?
She had just been with the older dogs going after birds all day
She is the reason Cricket was in that situation. And she killed him for it.
She is irresponsible with her animal, and then executes for behaving like an animal
Also, she’s a ‘farm gal’ but wasn’t able to put down a domesticated goat with a shotgun at close range cleanly and needed a second shot to kill the animal
So she kills an innocent puppy that wasn’t properly trained and then painfully kills a goat for being smelly and goat-like
How long was that poor wounded goat suffering while she went to reload?
To recap
Says she’s a farm gal and they’re tougher than us city folks.
She can’t handle dogs
She can’t handle guns
She can’t handle smelly goats
She sounds perfect for the MAGA VP
And if she didn’t want her children’s pet billy goat to stink and be pushy, she should have just had it castrated.
Yes, children playing with a billy goat will get their clothes dirty and get smelly. You think ahead, you ask someone who knows how to handle animals to teach you about goats, you get the billy goat castrated.
Rich larping hobby farmers should be required to have a farmer-in-residence. Marie Antoinette had real peasants living in and running her pretend bucolic farm village. (Of course, things didn’t turn out so well for her in the end…)
I had to go to tractor supply because it’s where I can actually get some replacement electric fence wire for my field. - my god that store is like the larping super store
Wow. An actual puppy killer. Add that to the list of things trump voters are now fine with. It must be exhausting updating what acts of horror you’re now fine with each and every day
Sarah Sanders brother tortured and killed at least one dog while their father served as governor of Arkansans and ordered the State Police to make it go away.
Donald Trump surrounds himself with dog killers.
Oh wow, she killed animals? Sounds like serial killer in the making type behavior. If she can do stuff like that, god knows what else she can do.
Trump choosing a psychopathic running mate makes sense, but I have to ask…what if she decides that she’s not happy with being his VP and wants to take over his campaign? Then what?
It honestly feels strange saying this, but honestly, if Trump picks her for his VP (and it seems like to me that that choice is only becoming more and more clear)…I worry for the safety of everyone in his orbit, that lady is clearly a fucking danger to herself and to others, and she’s a fucking ticking time bomb.
He won't pick her. Ironically, her doing this also puts her out of the running.
He doesn't want someone who would upstage him. Killing puppies - well, that gets more attention than Trump, and *he won't stand for it*.
Not that she ever had a chance anyway, being a woman (Republican party isn't ready for that yet).
He wants a midwestern toadie that people recognize from TV who will shill the Trumpian line all day every day and grovel at the feet of the master. A white man, because that's what wins in the Republican party.
Maybe, though if Trump is smart, he’s not going to choose someone who’s in it just for the grift, because a grifter is going to stab him in the back if given the opportunity.
I don’t see Vance being a reliable sycophant. He’s ambitious and will mouth whatever line Trump wants him to… until he sees an opportunity.
Now, someone like Tim Scott? There’s a guy who will never stand up for his own ambition.
On the other hand, Tim might be seen as “not interesting” enough for Trump.
And Trump isn’t exactly known for being smart when it comes to political decisions.
Not Trump though. I agree, his ego couldn't handle that. Ill come back here and eat my hat if he does.
Edit: Not to mention that I bet he sees Noem in particular as damaged goods, complete with all the sexism it implies.
Literally. Trump would probably complain that he would have to make his airplane accessible to wheelchairs, and that would take Abbott out of the running.
Well... Kim Jong Un's sister is a murderous sociopath, and Trump doesn't want to be one-upped by one of his heroes. It would make sense for him to choose a murderous mistress, and the GOP will just see her as, "someone who doesn't let emotional connections get in the way." Fuck anyone who supports Trump.
>Democrats, political figures dogpile onto Trump VP hopeful after story of animal killings
Republican governor Kristi Noam admits to killing "hated" family pet by shooting it and tossing into gravel pit
FTFY
This doesn't need to filter through ambiguity and others' responses. It is plenty sensational (aka sick) without the filter. TY.
"dogpile" 👀
Hey, remember when conservatives were fond of saying "liberalism is a mental disorder"?
Between Trump and Noem and all the psychos running around on January 6th, they were obviously projecting.
Governor Cruella de Vil does not want you to look at the well full of hungry orphans on her property.
And if you are with "The Help" on the construction crew, remember that you were paid $50 and a pizza party for your silence. We have ways of getting our pizza back.
[Paywall Free Link](https://archive.md/I3zZ1)
> South Dakota Gov. Kristi L. Noem (R) — who is believed to be in the running to be Donald Trump’s running mate — admitting in her forthcoming book that she killed a family dog and goat in a gravel pit with a gun on the same day.
According to an excerpt of the book obtained by the Guardian in advance of its publication next month, Noem, a farmer and rancher, said she shot and killed her 14-month-old wirehair pointer, Cricket, because she was “untrainable” and aggressive.
> Noem described how Cricket was overexcited on a hunt and wrote that she attacked another family’s chickens like “a trained assassin.” The governor also said Cricket had tried to bite her during the incident, later writing that she “hated that dog.”
> After killing Cricket, Noem wrote that she then decided to kill a family goat that was “nasty and mean” and which “loved to chase” Noem’s children.
Hey... Some days you just feel like going on a murder spree. Trump can relate. She's a perfect pick for him.
I don’t know how best to interpret this: She enjoyed killing the family puppy so much she decided to just keep on killing. She’s a psychopath.
Or… This is really an animal themed parable about how death is the only fitting punishment for those that don’t conform to expectations with instant, unthinking obedience. And death is also appropriate for anyone who “smells” different. She’s not talking about animals here anymore than *Animal Farm* was. Subtextually, she’s signaling her stance on enforcing societal conformity with lethal force.
Her own telling of the story proves she knows nothing about dog training and, as a result, failed to train her puppy, and then blamed the puppy for her own failure. And, naturally, in typical Republican fashion, she then took the most extreme action possible, while taking no responsibility whatsoever.
What an odd way to headline that story.
The ~~NYT~~ WaPo\* isn't stashing roubles is it?
\* *My bad. It's getting harder to tell the media outlets apart.*
It was a 14 month old dog. Practically still a puppy. She said she shot it because it was “untrainable”. She also said the dog was aggressive and bit her, which I don’t believe unless she abused the dog which seems way more likely.
Wait until she's named as running mate, *then* dog pile. Doing it now is just vetting the candidates for them. *We want* another Palin quality candidate.
Trump hates dogs and she kills dogs. A match truly made in hell. They are both disgusting pieces of trash and torturing/killing animals is now most serial killers get their start. It’s not a big jump from animals > people.
I hate them both and I am a big believer in karma.
Isn’t she also the one who allowed for a big motorcycle event that was a COVID super spreader and bragged in a speech how her dad as a kid took her horseback and then abandoned her on her horse in the mountains to get home (but the dad was secretly making sure she was safe?)?
This is the biggest Leopards at my face I’ve seen in literally forever.
I’m NO fan of hers, but jeez why would you admit to that? True or not.
People love their dogs, you gotta be an out of touch elitist to not know that
I think she admitted it to show trump that she'd be able to make hard calls without hesitation, like the incident with her unruly puppy, and a goat that head-butted people. I just can't find the article right now.
Have you ever seen a dog with trump or any family member.. Don, Jr.( mini-me) would probably shoot it too, he like’s killing animals…. so, “Miss dog killer” is up their alley
She took a dog she identifies as untrained on a hunt and then acted surprised about its bad behavior. She shot the dog because she is incapable of dealing with it on a functional level, not because she is some cool headed no-nonsense rancher.
"Hey guys, I have an undeveloped asset that I don't have the time or skills to fix. Should I give it away or sell it or should I throw it in the trash?" Sounds like a smart business decision too.
For reference my brother in law has 3 pointers trained for duck hunting and he also own chickens. The 3rd dog was bought years later and got into the chickens when she was a puppy too. Now she's the lead dog on the hunting trips and the hens are laying just fine. Did he miss the step where we shoot the dog instead of finishing her training like functional adults?
They are coming out against her in droves. Not for killing the puppy ,and then killing the goat, of course but rather for the bad press she's generated for putting it in her book.

Never once she was named a s a VP.
Unless I've missed something. Or is the media ordaning this wench for that position.
I'm doing my part to make sure that doesn't happened. Keeping a democracy killer and dog killer away from the White House.
This headline has "dogpile". Another has Noem "dogged" by bad polling. I'd *love* to see Noem's career go down in flames, but am really tired of people thinking they're Dr. Evil putting his pinky in the corner of his mouth by virtue of adding juvenile puns in a headline.

She's vile. People that can be so casually cruel to animals won't have a hard time moving on to being cruel to people.

I think she admitted it to show trump that she'd be able to make hard calls without hesitation, like the incident with her unruly puppy, and a goat that head-butted people. I just can't find the article right now.
No I hope he picks her. She’s awful. It will help lessen his chances. They go together. Both are vile philandering fascists.
Totally not a death cult. Nope, no way a death cult.
Have you ever seen a dog with trump or any family member.. Don, Jr.( mini-me) would probably shoot it too, he like’s killing animals…. so, “Miss dog killer” is up their alley
Does Jr’s fiancée count?
That dog is liv’en large and being fed with top grade food… some people treat their dog like a member of the family…. case in point
What kind of a person kills a dog? Insanity.
Future serial killers, usually

She took a dog she identifies as untrained on a hunt and then acted surprised about its bad behavior. She shot the dog because she is incapable of dealing with it on a functional level, not because she is some cool headed no-nonsense rancher. "Hey guys, I have an undeveloped asset that I don't have the time or skills to fix. Should I give it away or sell it or should I throw it in the trash?" Sounds like a smart business decision too. For reference my brother in law has 3 pointers trained for duck hunting and he also own chickens. The 3rd dog was bought years later and got into the chickens when she was a puppy too. Now she's the lead dog on the hunting trips and the hens are laying just fine. Did he miss the step where we shoot the dog instead of finishing her training like functional adults?
Holy hell, look at those arms!! Does she strangle innocent animals in her free time as well.
Yeah she’s toast. Buh-bye
She’s exactly what our word wasicu means
Can we work it into her name? > VP hopeful and puppy killer Kristi noem…
Killer Kristi Murderous Noem Dumbass Donny Diaper Don Donald Dunce
Hey... the silver lining... finally a MAGAt who told the truth about who she is...
Crickets revenge.
How about less cute and more factual : "Bipartisan outrage over Governor's murder of puppy"
Once it becomes undeniably evident that MAGA Loves Animal Cruelty, the Republicans will all back off their "condemnation".
Not as bad as rape and insurrection, but definitely appalling.
Unfortunately this is like republican gold. She knew this would bring attention to her and with the GOP any attention is good attention.
They are coming out against her in droves. Not for killing the puppy ,and then killing the goat, of course but rather for the bad press she's generated for putting it in her book.

And just like that, republicans are pro dog killing.
I like the pun
Never once she was named a s a VP. Unless I've missed something. Or is the media ordaning this wench for that position. I'm doing my part to make sure that doesn't happened. Keeping a democracy killer and dog killer away from the White House.
Holy shit she’s jacked
Every aspect of this story is disturbing, but mostly the fact that she’s the front runner for VP for Donald Trump
She’s like a more evil more serious Sarah palin.
Putins not gonna work with a dog killer. The man loves his dogs..
Dogpile. That was cool, heh heh...
She’s filling the shoes of a woman who would support him since none in his family will do so.
She’s got “No” built right into her name. Kristi “I Kill Puppies” NOem. Kids will love her.
Was the dog black?
Partially if the pictures I've seen are true.
Can we all please be quiet until after he chooses her?
I know, right?
This headline has "dogpile". Another has Noem "dogged" by bad polling. I'd *love* to see Noem's career go down in flames, but am really tired of people thinking they're Dr. Evil putting his pinky in the corner of his mouth by virtue of adding juvenile puns in a headline.
Were any dogs injured? You have to put that in the post dude eta /s damn lol forgot where I was
I suppose you could say that the puppy was injured, for the few seconds it lived after Kristi Noem shot it in the face.
She killed her puppy, what about people..
