    Did she try to train the dog at all? I’m getting the strong impression that she just got a fucking dog and expected it to automatically do exactly what she wanted without any training, then violently lost her shit when the animal just did animal things.

    It wouldn’t be the first person who couldn’t (or wouldn’t) grasp that animals have their own fucking shit they do, and that you honestly have to accommodate them more than they will even be able to accommodate you.

      I have met countless people that think talking to the dog means it understands and when it doesn’t do what you say it is just belligerent.

        tbh there are moments where it’s clear that my dog got the command but doesn’t feel like executing it, but that’s a skill issue on my part for not convincing him that listening to me is poggers

      Yes she did.

      She mentioned a shock collar at one point iirc, so clearly she’s a pro.

    “Noem said she told the story about Cricket to show that in politics and life, she was willing to do what was “difficult, messy, and ugly” if it was necessary.”

    Scary AF

    Fake news media’s twisted spin

    Yeah, quoting from your own book that you published, how twisted jokah-messy

    Also, I feel like the goat doesn’t get enough attention. Like, it’s disgusting enough to do that to a puppy, but then for your next thought to be, “and that damn goat is getting got too!” skeleton-guns-akimbo. I just can’t imagine

    Many chuds have a soft spot for dogs, it’s like that meme, “I can excuse racism but I draw a line at animal cruelty”

      They have a soft spot for property, for pets. Let’s not pretend that it extends to animal welfare generally.

        That’s why I said “dogs” specifically.

    If it was as bad as she said, why didn’t she write that in her book where she literally had all the room to give details?

    we are at a point where they literally shoot puppies in the face and fascists still love her.

    takes massive creative force to parody this world rn. they will be literally punching babies next.

      I mean they love abusing children so they probably aren’t that far off from it
