This is the puppy. Immediately after she shot a pet goat that “disgusted” her.

Oh my fucking god what the hell is in the water over there?

Hook Worm.
She wrote it in her fucking auto-biography! She was bragging about it! She was proud of it, she thought it made her sound tough, but it only made her sound like the psychopath that she is.
BTW, she also wrote that after killing the puppy, she immediately killed a goat that she said was "disgusting." So she got angry enough at a recalcitrant puppy that she yanked out a handgun and shot it, and was still so fired up, she had to kill something else, too.
I've been really angry before, but never angry enough to pull a gun and start killing all the innocent animals in my proximity. Now that she is essentially untouchable, what happens if she gets that furious at a person?
I assume she refers to herself as a responsible gun owner of course
Bitch doesn't look very "american" by her own standards, does she? Time to visit salvador I guess.
Salvador torture camps explicitly rejects female criminals, their words
Has anyone else noticed the high number of outright Psychopaths are in the trump Reich? It's becoming obvious that they are actively seeking them out ..
I wonder why that is
They tend to treat dogs in particular as disposable things. Killing something they have control over is a common practice…for psychopaths.
It helps if your SS thinks of the other as little more than dogs, also shows you how fucking abysmally they must treat all the family pets if they think dogs aren’t worth protection.
“Less than worthlesss and untrainable” is a pretty accurate assessment of all republicans.
One would clearly take that assessment far more seriously in the republicans though. Cricket was a 14-month old puppy and would very probably have matured into a trainable companion animal. Something that could never happen with a republican.
Kristi "Dog Terminator" Noem
South Park has been the only major media voice giving this Administration the respect that it's due. It's the only one uncensored enough that it can.
Apparently you haven't seen Colbert, or Jon Stewart on the Daily Show.
Stewart 2028
He would be an incredible President precisely because he doesn’t want it.
Stupid funny thought
We should be able to popular vote in anyone to the presidency in the country, by force. lol
Is there anyone reading Lemmy that wasn't already aware of this one? I mean, it's not bad to bring it up again (and again, and again, etc), but it's hardly news.
But if you haven't already, be sure to see the second 2025 episode of South Park!
I didn't even know who she was until this post.
Fuck. Sorry you lost your ignorance.
I like how this is coming back into public knowledge after some washed up, irrelevant cartoon aired.
That “washed up irrelevant cartoon” got a contract for $1.5B. Totally washed up…
I'm just parroting what Trump said after the first episode. I love South Park ❤️
Here is another article that takes a more detailed take about what she bragged about in her book. It also focuses more on the legal aspects, pointing out that her killing of the goat appears to have violated the states animal cruelty laws. If nothing else, the details about this give a clear, and disturbing view into the type of person she is.
“Walking back up to the yard, I spotted our billy goat,” Noem wrote.
The nameless goat’s only sin in that moment was being in Noem’s field of view.
In the book, Noem tried to justify her snap decision to kill the goat by writing that it “loved to chase” her children and would “knock them down and butt them,” leaving them “terrified.” The animal also had a “wretched smell.”
But apparently none of that had been a big enough problem to do anything about it. Not until Noem got angry enough to kill a dog and decided she needed to kill again.
Noem says she “dragged” the goat to the gravel pit, “tied him to a post,” and shot at him. But the goat jumped when she shot.
“My shot was off and I needed one more shell to finish the job,” she wrote.
She studiously avoided saying she wounded the goat with the first shot, but that’s the implication.
“Not wanting him to suffer,” she added — apparently experiencing her first twinge of feeling, after saying that killing the dog was not “pleasant” — “I hustled back across the pasture to the pickup, grabbed another shell, hurried back to the gravel pit, and put him down.”
....
In reality, what Noem did to the goat — dragging it to a gravel pit, tying it to a post, shooting at it once, leaving to get another shell, and shooting it again — sounds an awful lot like the legal definition of animal cruelty. That definition in South Dakota law is “to intentionally, willfully, and maliciously inflict gross physical abuse on an animal that causes prolonged pain, that causes serious physical injury, or that results in the death of the animal.”
My father was terrible towards my brother and I but he was even worse towards animals. Any sign of behavior that he could interpret as "disrespect" or aggression from an animal and he'd either abuse it or kill it. And he was also so fucking proud of himself after even bragging about it like he was some paragon of masculinity asserting his dominion over man and beast.
The fucking psychopath still wonders why I don't talk to him outside of the holidays and family crises.
The sick psycho bastard is worthless and untrainable and she would have thrived in the NKVD, Mao's CCP and the SA.
She killed her puppy in a gravel pit, and got such a buzz off of it, she killed her goat right after.
She's just proud of completing her SS training
I hate that I now live in this reality, but the US head of immigration is significantly more cruel to animals than the actual Nazis. The Nazis had very very very few redeeming features, but they were surprisingly decent in animal welfare.
Noem is roughly on their level when it comes to human welfare though, that's more due to public perception than ethics though, I'm sure.
Same Kristi Noem who as governor spent $5 million of S. Dakota's COVID money on a tourism campaign, saying her state was coping with the pandemic using "personal responsibility and freedom".
I have a theory about her intentions for writing about killing that dog.
Noem published her autobiography while vying to be the republican running mate in the election. On the one hand, why would she choose to publish something so openly sinister in her autobiography, at such a consequential time for her political career? She must have known that story would get picked up and blasted in the media. But part of me wonders if maybe, that was her goal. Maybe by including the dog story in her book, Noem was sending a signal to Trump that she wouldn't flinch to do the cruel, dirty work that maga wants done. And now here she is, doing dirty work.
Oh for sure. Look at the Huckabees, dog torturing/killing family, much beloved by Trump. I'm Sarah Huckabee's neighbor and her dog Traveler is a total asshole, my dog hates him, but I also feel bad for whatever might happen to him.
"We love animals, but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm," Noem wrote. "Sadly, we just had to put down 3 horses a few weeks ago that had been in our family for 25 years."
Has anyone looked into these horses??
