Yes, one of the most infamous world leaders on the planet met with…checks notes…some rodeo clown from South Dakota who shoots puppies?
As least they have that in common, you know, the complete lack of human emotions
Someone callous enough to murder their own dog is a liar, too? Color me surprised!!
Somehow I doubt that dog story is even true, she comes across as nothing but performative. It only backfired on her this time (or maybe it didn’t, we’re probably not the target audience of her performance)
According to Democrats in her state’s legislature, not only was this a story that a lot of people already knew about, there were witnesses.
So no, it’s true, and she did the worst attempt at damage control I’ve ever seen.

Yeah, I’m not surprised. A couple people on this post suggested that might be a lie too but it seems too absurd to lie about. Trying to shift the story from “fit of rage” to “calm and calculated decision” sounds more realistic.
I skimmed the article, I’m not reading anything about witnesses or people already knowing about it before the recent uproar.Its in the article (Not that it really matters: However the story turns out, she’s an awful person either way. It’s just I’m not sure what kind of awful person we’re dealing with here.)But South Dakota Democratic Senate Minority Leader Reynold Nesiba considered the disclosure more calculated than stupid. He said the story has circulated for years among lawmakers that Noem killed a dog in a “fit of anger” and that there were witnesses. He speculated that it was coming out now because Noem is being vetted as a candidate for vice president.
“She knew that this was a political vulnerability, and she needed to put it out there, before it came up in some other venue,” he said. “Why else would she write about it?”
my skimming skills need polishing. thanks 👍
Well, this is good news! Maybe she didn’t kill her dog just because she couldn’t train it.
Being called out as a poser used to be enough of a criticism to make people shape up.
A lying republiclown? I’m shocked.
Lying liar lies from the party corrupt liars? I don’t believe it.
And that North Korean leaders name?
JAMES BOND!
What?
