      As it has been said elsewhere, the ‘Becky’ segment of white suburban women would happily sacrifice the remaining citizens of Gaza to save one golden-doodle named Noodle.

      I’m pretty sure once “dog-killer” gets onto your resume, that pretty much it for your political career in this country.

        Hell I would not be surprised in the least if she was gunned down. Damned near every culture has some level of taboo around killing dogs, breaking that taboo is probably not the smartest move.

        Hitler had his dogs killed to test the potency of the cyanide pills he was about to take because the Russians were knocking on his bunker door.

        Also, trump hates dogs- and they hate him, too.

    I just watched a video where the director of John Wick was talking about how hard he had to fight the studio to kill the puppy right at the top of the movie. People wouldn’t stand for a dead dog, it’s too evil, etc…

    Anyway now we’re discussing if a puppy killer should be in a position to run the largest military in the world if an obese, confused, incontinent, drug addicted, 77 year old man kicks the bucket

    Who needs to make America Great Again? We’re already here baby!

      Just to clarify for anybody who misread this like I did: They kill a dog in the script of the movie. The director didn’t have to actually kill a dog and film it.

      If you want that kinda video, check Noem’s laptop.

    “Welcome to Republican politics, would you prefer to hand over your soul or your brain?”

    Kristi Noem: “Take em both, I’m not using em.”

    Noem can’t stop digging the hole she dug herself. Let’s hope this is career suicide we’re witnessing. And South Dakota had one of the worst death rates in the country during covid thanks to Kristi Noem.

    Commander should pay a visit on behalf of Cricket. Noem is a sick fuck and another Russian agent.
