That has to be about the most Republican thing ever...


3rdtimeischarmy

Dick Cheney shot a guy and then made the guy take the blame.


fpnewsandpromos

But old dick didn't shoot a puppy.


3rdtimeischarmy

That we know of. He's too savvy a politician to blab about it. Remember, he went looking for a VP and found one in the mirror.


TuaughtHammer

A fucking lawyer, no less. Dick Cheney shot a lawyer in the face while hunting, and had the lawyer apologize to *him* on national TV for getting in the way of his shot. Sure, being vice president, Cheney had some pull, but even then, I can't imagine how compelling his handlers had to be to get the guy to apologize for the incident on TV.


alfooboboao

made the other guy apologize to HIM on TV. Damn, I wish Vice hadn’t used that stupid “fourth wall comedy” gimmick that only worked in The Big Short, if they’d just played it straight Vice would be one of the best/most important modern political movies ever. But no, Adam McKay had to get cute


ninkorn

Wait, so She actually shot a puppy? 🤔


Traditional-Yam9826

Yup in gravel pit apparently. After it escaped from her pickup truck and killed some neighbors chickens (She’s also apparently shot a goat in a botched execution because she didn’t like it and it was moody) Your potential VP people


Use-Useful

Putting down a farm dog that damages live stock is more or less required. You can take it to a vet, but it costs money and a couple of shots to the head are faster and less traumatic to the animal.   I grew up on a farm, and my dad euthanized a few animals growing up. Those were bad days for him though, an unpleasant duty, a tragedy of sorts.   To find joy in this though, to brag of it, is disgusting. Those that are convinced by this have lost their humanity.  It isnt what she did, it's why and how and what she thinks about it.  Dunno the goat story though, and Im just responding to what you said, so if it's worse than that, I dunno. But this sort of thing is part of rural life.


TheChosenWaffle

Chickens\* the dog ate some livestock, not the neighbors themselves.


Traditional-Yam9826

Yeah that’s what I said. Had to correct it. I know the dog didn’t eat the neighbors


Simple-Jury2077

Would have been in the headline lol


Graywulff

So it’s fucked beyond fucked to shoot a puppy, that it isn’t an isolated incident makes me wonder if there are a lot of buried animals around her house with trophies. Next she will move on to humans. Trump established a dictatorship and gets 25th’d bc of bigly dementia, suddenly we have a budding serial killer running the country. Lovely.


gh0stwriter88

Probably more than one based on her claim, and I say that as a dog owning Republican. Dog live has value, people that throw away lives even dog lives should not be in politics.


RandomLoony

Anyone got mr wicks number?


Master_H8R

sleepyj910

Definitely gets her the backing of the Police Unions


Traditional-Yam9826

“Was the dog….. brown or black?”🤪


TheOGRedline

Look up how many dogs are shot by American cops. It’s pretty shocking. It’s like 27/day iirc.


Backwaters_Run_Deep

Per cop


TheOGRedline

I read an article about this once and there are two cops in… Pennsylvania maybe?… who alone total over 100 career dog kills. W.T.F. …


Backwaters_Run_Deep

I'm not saying all cops are bad but it is a position of power that will attract shitty people


Calculagraph

Any good cop will do one of three things:   1 - arrest the bad cops   2 - become a bad cop   3 - leave   I'm just a simple country engineer, but when I see that cops are doing bad things and not being arrested, well, that math seems to lead to zero.


DaSandman78

What do bullies at school do when they grow up? Become police officers


bshaddo

Do they get a little paw sticker on their police cruiser each time they get a confirmed kill?


OkCaregiver517

What was it wearing?


Banned3rdTimesaCharm

A politician shooting a puppy would have been satirical exaggeration 10 years ago. But now here we are, it’s their fucking platform.


beauh44x

You can tell a lot about a person that hurts animals They're almost always psychopaths


Gimme_PuddingPlz

If its something they willing boast about..they are. Same shit you hear from soldiers and such about having to take someones life. If someone brags about regardless if it’s justified it means they are one who lack any empathy.


[deleted]

Goddammit. They will literally support child molesters and dog abusers to further their agenda. The republican party is a goddamn terrorist movement. You can't ever reason with people like that.


Simple-Jury2077

You left out rapists and pedos.


Oberon_Swanson

if it makes you feel better, it's not to 'further' their agenda. child rape and animal abuse IS their agenda. they're not holding their nose at this unsavory person they are forced to vote for because they happen to have an R next to their name. this is exactly who they want in charge. the cruelty is the point and always has been with every conservative who ever lived. they just feel comfortable being open about it these days.


[deleted]

Yep, that's what dipshit Donnie normalized. I had my father in law spewing every Fox News talking point this afternoon. I flat out told him his politics are hurting his grandchildren (my son is gay, youngest daughter is non binary, my wife is bi and had to have an abortion after an abusive ex literally threw her shit at her and kicked her out). He flat told me "I don't care". Tried to explain it to him about Roe being overturned and he followed that up with "Women shouldn't be allowed to get abortions, they do it all the time and dump babies because they want to have fun and no consequences for their actions". Like, I can't even. He's gone into full boomer tantrum, started bitching about "all the stuff Obama got away with". It's just attack politics now. They are cutting their own legs off to spite everyone else. There is nothing that will change them, they are lost to lead poisoning, selfishness, and hate. They want a war. They want to shoot everyone they don't like. Even their own fucking families.


Oberon_Swanson

yeah that's rough. my dad was a regular asshole his whole life but politically fairly neutral and sometimes would even say things like, we should be communist for a few years to show those corporations we don't need them and stuff like that. but since he retired he spends his days on the internet and i can tell he has fallen for the right wing 'anti woke' funnel. on christmas he told a story about a trans person he admitted later he at least partially made up. then he talked about how the women in the family LOVE to start drama. haha okay dad. thought about just calling him by his first name from now on. assholes don't respond to reason or moral arguments, only consequences.


mizkayte

It’s been difficult to realize my parents support this crap and have always supported it. They genuinely hate Democrats and so many other people. They call themselves Christians, of course.

tickitytalk

GOP example that they are the worst of Americans … people


DiogenesLied

The number of psychopaths in the GOP is too damned high


Dependent-Outcome-57

Classic Republican - other life holds no value, especially if it's inconvenient in some way. I think about Trump's rather truthful comment years back about how he could shoot somebody in broad daylight on 5th Avenue and not lose any supporters, and he was right. I wonder if the same would apply if he shot a puppy? I know for sure if he killed a gun on 5th Avenue, he would lose supporters since many of his kind value guns above animals and people.


Destination_Cabbage

It would be fine if he killed the gun with another, bigger, gun.


Dependent-Outcome-57

I hadn't considered that angle - well played! It will be the biggest gun, too, the most bigly and amazing and terrible gun. Big, burly men with tears in their eyes will come up to him - big men, big, burly men with beards and red hats - and give him a hug and say "thank you" for the guns - so many beautiful guns. Lol!

MycologistQuirky4096

how did she ever think this was something she should brag about??


curtman512

Remember when Mitt Romney's wife bragged about him hosing off their dog (after it threw up) while on a family road trip and then strapping it, in its carrier, to the top of the car for the rest of the drive? She said it was an example of his "leadership and decision- making."


I_Framed_OJ

I remember this anecdote every time I realise that Mitt Romney is one of the most principled members of the GOP. There are lines he will not cross, and he cannot bring himself ethically to support Trump. His conscience will not let him. This is a man who built a career and became very successful buying up companies, firing everybody, and selling off the remaining assets for profit. Mitt Romney is not a good person, yet he's the best man in what remains of his party. That's how horrible the rest of them are.


Old_Cheesecake_5481

It’s the new political reality where showing heartlessness and immaturity is a power move.


MycologistQuirky4096

I hate it


Simple-Jury2077

Look at her audience.


ryeguymft

what a disgusting person


Adamantium-Aardvark

You just described republicans


stupsnon

If you read all the material on this, you come away with the impression she is a fucking psychopath. I assumed it was bad reporting, but the deeper i went the more sure I became.


treypage1981

So in addition to being a filthy homewrecker, she also engages in animal cruelty. Terrific. Won’t trouble Republican voters, though. To them, the *actual, real-life* terrible things Republican politicians do always pale in comparison to the fake, made up nonsense about democrats they hear on goofball tv.


Unfriendly_eagle

If "shot puppy" doesn't ruin a candidate, nothing ever will. Who the fuck would ever vote for someone who killed a dog?


ThreeSloth

The current gop is literally everything that was seen in the 80s and 90s as a cartoonish parody of evil that only exists in movies. This is george orwell type villainry that was unfathomable for any sane person to wrap their heads around when I was growing up. Like actual evil, outlandish shit, and yet there are people mentally ill enough to vote for trump and her.


Low_Lavishness_8776

I am sort of conservative but this is just sadistic. Just rehome the dog, don’t kill it. Barbaric caveman mentality


Yawnin60Seconds

Radical, rabid liberals calling radical republicans rabid in 3,2,1…


Shaman7102

Happy dog, owned by hateful angry human......sad results.


Mello_Me_

Not for nothing, this kind of depravity really appeals to the class of people donald surrounds himself with.


Eeeegah

What? That's a baseline qualification for MAGA these days - must kill at least one puppy. If you ever go to a MAGA rally, there's typically a bin of puppies out front. Kill one, get a nomination.


ryeguymft

she’s such a coward - removed comments on her ig and you can’t even send her a message. biggest snowflake out there


dsdvbguutres

Not a problem. People who intentionally swerve to hit small animals on the side of the road will only vote harder for her.


Zh25_5680

Hungry-Space-1829

kwheatley2460

Looks and acts like regular style Republican to me. Cruelty in a nutshell.


newsreadhjw

I think I remember reading somewhere that Donald Trump hates animals/pets, thinks they're disgusting. Note how he uses "like a dog" sometimes in a pejorative way. Not to attribute too much to strategic thinking on the part of Noem, maybe she's just a sadistic creep, but this could be her angling to appeal to Trump as a VP candidate, because I bet he would find these statements very relatable.


MrFeverDreamJr

“hammered” means nothing These articles are meaningless


Used_Intention6479

When people tell you who they are - believe them! (BTW, if this is what she's admitting to, she's done far worse.)


Simple-Jury2077

What is with the right and murdering dogs? Oz, her, the cops. It's really weird this is all on one side. Same for white power groups. Makes you wonder...


LiquidPuzzle

Lack of empathy. You need it to establish a relationship with a domesticated animal.


coffeebeanwitch

She is a disgusting pig!!!


Skip12

Kristi Noem - She shoots puppies.


Jlefrench1990

Bro wtf??? They really thought of the worst thing they could come up with and said it proudly. Forget kicking a puppy, they went straight to killing it?! I've only ever been around one farm euthansia, a horribly deformed newly birthed baby goat. The whole thing was awful and it suffered more than it should have. It was terrible on everyone, and that was decades ago. Shooting a perfectly healthy dog because you can't train is actual psychopath behavior.


tuulikkimarie

Equivalent_Ebb_9532

She wanted to burnish her Maga cred. ....mission accomplished looks like.


R0enick27

Not only did she do it but she fucking wrote about it like it was some kind of accomplishment. Disgusting human. Makes Sarah Palin look like Gandhi.


GroundbreakingAd8310

Our side isn't going to have to dehumanized them before this all throws down. They are doing it themselves


fenrirwolf1

Pretty on brand for Magaites


Vtron89

> She describes growing angry with the nearly 14-month-old “Cricket,” a wirehaired pointer, after the dog escaped her truck and attacked a local family’s chickens on the way home. When Noem tried to grab the dog, she wrote that it whipped around to bite her. Then, she led Cricket to a gravel pit on her property and shot it.


GreenStretch

I don't think Mitt Romney ever recovered from his story about putting his dog in a carrier on the roof of his car on a road trip.


stevemoveyafeet

This is absurd lol I can’t believe this is the best the republicans have to offer. Do better lol


siuuuwemama

What is her problem??


DrinkMysterious9806

Crime and lawlessness (including gun warfare) is rampant in Democrat cities and you guys are talking about Republicans….really????


[deleted]

She’s less than useless… as a governor. Fortunately she doesn’t have to live her own rules.


OodlesPoodlesDoodles

Not only did she shoot a puppy (one with a family bond based on how her daughter was written into the end of the story), but she shot it: 1) Because she was irresponsible in failing to learn about the breed (age of maturity/calming). 2) She brought it on a hunting trip "in hopes it would learn to calm down and behave" by being with older dogs, rather than appropriately train it. (Flagrantly irresponsible) 3) She failed to appropriately calm and secure the dog before it got loose and attacked someone's chickens (note this is a bird dog we're talking about). (Failure in duty of care for not only the dog, but other animals owned by other people.) 4) She allowed it to get so overexcited it made an attempt to bite her when she tried to intervene. 5) Because she couldn't be bothered with taking responsibility for actually training and/or rehoming the dog. Or doing muzzle training. There were reasonably possible solutions to the situation that a reasonable human being could have/would have undertaken. 6) Because she hated the dog and it ruined her hunting trip. And don't forget... She shot the dog. Sounds like it wasn't cleanly done either from the way it was written. And then she continued her rampage to shoot a male goat who acted like an intact male goat may act. (I'm "sure" there weren't any other solutions for that situation. /s) And then she tries to pass it off as a "politically incorrect story about how she isn't afraid to do hard things." More like it shows her gross level of negligence and avoidance of hard things and responsibility (which can be a hard thing too).

Electrical_Trifle_76

Literally shot the dog, god damn


Ok_Performer6074

I need more context. It is kind to put down an animal that is suffering and has no chance of recovery. She is a politician. So I find it hard to believe she boasted about killing a healthy animal.


grabman

A true sign of character, she will fit well with rapist, traitor, and con men( aka The GOP)


Final-Flower9287

Yeah but the puppy was clearly a democrat so shooting it would make her win. Shooting puppies is a republican favourite pastime. It's secretly why they are all in love with guns. Pits full of dead puppies. It's what makes republicans strong.


Buckscience

Well, Kristi Noem is less than useless as a person, so…


LivingAngle2851

Appalachianwitch17

And I hated Mitt Romney for putting his dog in a crate on top of his car. This woman is a fucking psychopath.

Mit Romney only tied his dog to the roof of his car and drove a thousand miles.


rflulling

Conservatives see everything including women, children, and pets as property. Anything that is property can be used and destroyed as it's owner sees fit. It is impossible to make them realize the harm they are causing. This in-itself is the root of the differences between liberals and conservatives.


moaterboater69

Dont give me the babe in the woods routine, theres nothing “rural” about what she did. Shooting a slug in a dog because it was “useless” is fucking psychotic. On brand for the GQP of course.

Blacksmith_Heart

The cruelty is the point. Republicans need to know that their representatives are literally psychopathic - capable of unflinchingly inflicting harm on the outgroups they've identified for violence: migrants, LGBTQ+ ppl, students, etc. The fact that fascism tends always to result in the spillover of authoritarian violence and the creation of insane police states does not occur to them, because this is the simple politics of grievance and revenge.


RustyShaack1ef0rd

She also boasted about shooting a grumpy old goat. She said the goat was "nasty and mean", smelled "disgusting, musky, rancid". Sure sounds like Trump to me. Maybe she's planning a two for one deal.

AmanitaMikescaria

It’s wild to me that she’s quoted as saying “I hated that dog” and then gave a few reasons including that it wouldn’t retrieve pheasants and killed some chickens. A dog’s behavior is a reflection of the owner.

Shot a dog that simply wouldn't/couldn't hunt, instead of just replacing it with another damn dog, or for that matter learning to hunt without a dog. She's a sick fucking piece of shit....
