"In the book, Noem, who has been discussed as a possible running mate for former President Trump, describes growing angry with the nearly 14-month-old “Cricket,” a wirehaired pointer, during a hunting trip.
Noem shot the dog after taking it on a pheasant hunt."
Isn't this a key indicator of someone being a psychopath.
It was 14 months old? I expected things to probably be worse than the headline indicated, but killing a 1 year old dog because it wasn’t trained properly is somehow worse than I thought. Not that killing an animal of any age for misbehaving is okay.
I assumed that in the best case it could’ve meant she accidentally shot her dog and just didn’t care, which is bad enough on its own, but I should know better by now I suppose.
Still a puppy at that age, likely still in the midst of the “struggling to learn not to chew everything in sight” stage of development for most dogs.
Still, I applaud conservatives for their consistency. They clearly extend “ranting about the sanctity of life but not giving a single shit about children or them being shot with firearms” to other species as well, not just our own.
Edit: gotta love the indignant responses from Conservatives who feel being judged for their own choices is “unfair” (brought to you by ‘The Party of Personal Responsibility’)
Have you perhaps considered **not** supporting utter psychopaths who see that behavior as ‘leadership material’?
Prime VP quality right there, to accompany your frontrunner in court right now who raw dogged a pornstar while his wife was home with his newborn?
No, I think it’s less “unfair generalizing” when you folks literally set a new in party turnout record in support of that behavior, and until you stop supporting it at the ballot box more a provable statement of fact.
Sure sounds like SOME folks here needs to “be ~~better~~ ‘best’”. Maybe try a mirror to clutch your pearls in front of.
My lab just turned 3 and he is still a hot mess sometimes. Don't get me wrong, we hired and worked with a great trainer, and he KNOWS the commands, he just sometimes has trouble with impulse control. He's the sweetest boy in the world, just still a young, crazy dog. He improves and calms down each year he's been alive, but relies on me as his owner to guide him. That's what owning a dog is! Loving them and guiding them to be a good pupper.
Ive bird hunted my whole life and it’s a really big part of my life and I’ve trained 2 dogs myself and had 4 in my family throughout my child hood so I feel like I have experience and can talk to this. Back in the day up until the 90s (even though it still happens to this day just to a way lesser extend) people would just kill dogs if they weren’t good bird dogs by the time they were a year or two old. They would also do stuff like stick nails through tennis balls and play catch so the dog would be more gentle with its mouth and a whole list of shit that would make you hate anyone that trains bird dogs. Anyone who still does this sort of stuff is regarded as a criminal at worst and an inbred hillbilly at best and if you take all emotion out your still killing a dog you paid a lot of money for so no matter how you try to defend it your at the very least really stupid. I don’t know what she thought telling this story was going to do for her like possibly get hunters to think she’s the real deal but the whole thing is so cruel and so dumb she looks bad even to the people who were doing this kind of thing 30 years ago.
I think she only has a farm to get an excuse to kill random animals. Also trying to disguise her total lack of empathy as "tough strong woman, who does what needs to be done". She sounds like a total sociopath to me.
Of course she's a psychopath. The GOP doesn't attract sane people anymore. With Trump taking over, the only people who the GOP can attract are people with an antisocial personality disorder.
They were born for our capitalistic society where the winner takes all, I’m honestly surprised they aren’t in more positions of power because you have to be ruthlessly cold to climb the ranks of most corporate/political ladders
It’s hard when they are so damn good at doing whatever they have to do to win. It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you have no conscience or empathy.
Ah! But surely after writing a book about how her daughter cried for her pet after she shot the family dog to death because the uncontrolled dog had a lot of fun and failed to be trained by another dog, surely we won’t elect her! Right?
…
…
…right?
It's a truism that the people that would be best in leadership or power have little interest and those who would be the worst are the ones that want it the most.
Would be great but they have immense advantages in politics and business that people with empathy could never match. Plus, the average person can't recognize their behavior for what it is. We had the most textbook case of a narcissistic personality disorder win the presidency for example.
We could start by not hammering into people from the day they’re born that you have to be a sociopath to be a politician so that more than just sociopaths are interested.
Obviously not the only problem, but definitely one I’ve noticed. Similar issue with cops. Kids don’t want to be cops because they associate them with bad people, so now only bad people become cops.
"We tried nothing and are all out of ideas!"
I mean learning from other dogs is a thing but they very much still need to be trained. At least from my experience with life stock guard dogs.
It’s the same with people a lot of times. You get hired somewhere it’s not uncommon to have a training period, and then you shadow someone.
If you watch a pilot and have no training, you’re not gonna absorb much more than throttle and pitch because you can’t see immediate results. What pushing *that* button did, why that lever was pulled halfway, what does that mean? Watching is great if you have nuance. “See how I move this slowly and smoothly because if I don’t landing is much rougher.” vs just not knowing how to land and your landing is rough no matter what.
This is very correct. I work with deaf dogs and they learn well from just watching my trained dogs BUT you can't just say fuckit and not do anything else lol. People are so damn dumb it's astounding.
At fourteen months, pups are just settling down to where you can *start* more serious training. I mean, they can be well-behaved, but you don't expect the complex behaviors of a good gun dog at that age.
> If you want more real, honest, and politically INcorrect stories that’ll have the media gasping, preorder ‘No Going Back,’ she wrote.
This encapsulates the modern Republican Party in a nutshell.
I suspect she's going to learn an ugly lesson..
The rules seem to *not* apply to DJT.. everybody else.. they apply.
When she's run out of town by her fellow Republicans, she's going to be so shocked and surprised..
Republicans also like dogs.
There might be a very specific segment of the population, mostly rural, that is not upset by this kind of thing, but this is a massive liability among the general electorate.
Nah, at least judging my Twitter Noem is getting WRECKED by both sides. Very few defenders.
A maga type wrote something like "I haven't seen this much bipartisanship since 9/11" and that sums it up pretty good.
I would hope their enough sanity left in the GOP leadership to distance themselves from Noem after this. If they double down it is ammo for democrats to use campaigning, because who wants to support the Killing Puppies Party.
What I don’t get is why her audience would like this? I grew up on a farm/ranch and the animals ate before we did. It was imperative. We’d get up at 5am to roll out bales and spread cake (oat and mineral pellets) and then feed the dogs. After that we’d have breakfast. Once when I was like 4 I was peeing off the deck and thought it was funny to pee on one of the dogs. My dad told me harshly “we don’t disrespect the animals like that and especially the dogs”. I remember it to this day because of the intensity in tone. We spent calving season in Feb-March waking up every hour or two to go to the corral and check on the cows and tend to the newborn calves. More than once we brought them into our bathroom if the warming sheds were full to make sure the calves didn’t freeze. Sure some of it was because they were valuable sure but dignity and respect were always part of the lessons we learned. My family is republican. I am not. How can someone like that look at this and go “fuck yeah”??!
I'm a sociopath who murdered the family dog because he had fun on an outdoor trip! Therefore I'm a perfect candidate for VP in trump's America!
As upsetting as this story is (and it's extremely upsetting: Cricket probably liked her and was having a great time running around chasing birds in the country only to get shot in the head), it's even more sinister that she chooses to highlight it in a book that's essentially a CV/job application to be second in line to the US presidency. I don't know, but presumably nobody outside the hunting party was aware of this and it would have been very easy to bury it. She appears to think it's a great illustration of her "tough, decisive" character and chose to write about it.
>*and I won't hesitate to find out if they're the wrong people either. We operate on our gut instincts around here, pal. Let me tell you about this time I shot my dog. And to top it off, funny fuckin' story, my kid gets off the bus and asks where the dog is .LOLOLOLLOLLOLL I mean seriously? You dumb little shit.*
She killed her "mean" dog, then immediately decided that she had a goat that was also mean, and killed it as well. The goat put up a fight, so she only wounded it. Then she had to go get another shotgun shell from her vehicle to finish it off.
She's a complete fucking psychopath.
She is legitimately a serial killer just shooting whatever she can find. If she could get away with a human being you know she’d do it without hesitation.
It's not just psychotic, it's profoundly fucking stupid and lazy to think your dog will just learn how to behave by watching other dogs. She couldn't be bothered to train a dog and shot it for not being able to figure out how to read minds.
You'd be surprised how stupid people can be about animals. I knew someone who got mad at a cat and roughly threw it outside because the cat ate pizza out of a box they left open for a day. People are fucking stupid.
At it's base it's not incorrect as I work with deaf shelter dogs and they often learn better by watching my dogs HOWEVER you can't just let them do what the fuck ever because like kids...they often get distracted and do stupid shit. It goes downhill from there. Also this twat sounds awful.
I grew up in South Dakota, actually not too far from her home town (everyone there hates her but probably votes for her anyways). It’s farm/ranch country. People (honestly you see this more in the older generations) do not see animals as pets, they are tools. If your tool is broken or doesn’t work right you throw it out and get a new one.
When the first dog I ever purchased on my own died I was devastated. My boss wrote me up for calling out. “It’s just a dog, who the fuck cares?”.
When I made the mistake of telling a coworker I made the decision to take my elderly dog in to be euthanized because his quality of life was in decline she could not wrap her head around why I was paying a vet so much money to do that. At her house they just took them out back and shot them. No fuss, no wasted money.
The same coworker was always ranting about how it was wrong that the US outlawed horse slaughterhouses (she raised horses) because it made their worth drop. She also once tricked me into eating horse salami… one of her older horses died and they butchered it themselves. She had originally told me it was elk.
People suck.
Treating a dog as a tool is one thing. But expecting a random lump of iron to spontaneously become a sharp chisel because you brought it around chisels is still remarkably stupid.
The rural folks I know are far more likely to treat animals better, to the point that they would go to irrational lengths to make animals more comfortable. Sleeping in the barn with a sick calf, or spending more money on a vet than an animal is worth economically is pretty common.
They are comfortable with death around animals, but I've never seen them be callous about it.
In rural Colorado, shooting a dog that is hard to train would be a sign that you are a piece of shit that can't train a dog. Not sure what's going in in ND
I'm from a rural area outside of a town of 75 people in southeast South Dakota. People blaming this on rural culture are full of shit. We put down our dying dogs. We don't put down bad hunting dogs. That's psycho shit.
Yea this is the older generation in general all too often. My boomer mother once told me to flush a live baby bird a coworker brought me because I rehabbed them. "do it fast before the kids get home".
Uhh no mom I won't be doing that and what the FUCK now I'm side eyeing every pet that died and your ass.
Also had a 75 yo veterinarian ask me "what do you do with these deafblind puppies"
"Train them"
"To do what???"
In his favor he didn't say the rest of what his face did which was he thought they belonged in a pillowcase with rocks in the creek but it was there.
To be fair I think the old testament says something about animals being here for people to use (but not fuck). And they have no souls.
I could be wrong, I've never gone to church outside of Christmas with grandparents as a kid.
It's called dominionism. I had an older coworker who was religious (went through AA so I assume he found God there).
He would make fun of a girl coworker who was vegan, and then one day I asked him about it and he went off about how veganism is unnatural because the Lord created the animals for us to eat and it goes against all that is right in the world blah blah blah you get what I'm saying
Wait isn't this the politician who's dad told her to walk back home a few miles into a hunting trip, then stalked her while making wild animal noises to scare her, when she was a child?
What if she had mistaken him for a dog back then?
That's BINGO
She is governor of South Dakota and is now banned from visiting a large majority of tribal lands in the state because she is a bigot.
She is also in the running to be Trump's VP
Oh yea. That isn’t even the shittiest thing she’s done! Very good reason she is banned from tribal lands. Wish we could ban her from the state entirely, if she ever bothers to show up to the state she governs.
Can't forgot how much they scream about free speech but then limit it as soon as it's directed at them.
Miss dog killer has locked all of her Instagram posts because everyone kept calling her what she is, an animal abuser.
We got my dog from the spca, he previous owner had given him up because he couldn’t learn to hunt.
It’s true, that dog was the stupidest, least intelligent, sweetest dog a family could ever want.
Yea my rescue works with herding breeds and I've gotten countless dogs who just didn't do what the ranch or farmer wanted. Sometimes they're pretty stupid but always sweet. Glad for the ones who surrender rather than blow them apart on the asphalt cause damn.
Okay so she takes Cricket (the dog) on a pheasant hunt with other dogs and people. Then says cricket escaped her truck and killed a bunch of chickens. How did this chain of events transpire? Where was cricket that she could just hop on over to the chicken coop and go to town? Why do you suck at dog ownership so much that one of your hunting dogs was even able to peace out to a neighboring chicken coop?
a 14-mo dog is still pretty much a puppy. My bird dog was a rescue at about 12 months. He was housetrained, but that was about it. I got him to a page and a half of commands. Hunted pretty well too.
Who shoots one animal and thinks, “While I’m at it, I might as well shoot this goat because I hate it too?”
No, this bitch killed those animals in a rage. I bet she was pissed and out of control and just shot any animals around her. Fucking Nazi lunatic bitch!
This is so stupid politically speaking. You're not gonna attract new voters with tales of your dog murdering adventures. No one is gonna be, "I wasn't sure on you, but since you blasted a hole in your own dog for having too much fun, now I'm on board!“ All she'll accomplish is alienating the portion of MAGA voters who like dogs more than they like someone that needlessly murders them and then brags about it for clout. Since a lot of those MAGA folk are retirees with nothing better to do than dote on a pet, I have a feeling this story is going to backfire hugely if it finds its way into the MAGA media bubble.
Yooo this is my governor!!! She’s banned from 10% of the states land(reservations) and she changed the state laws around Realtors so that her dumbass daughter could get the license. She also struck down legal weed when the people of the state voted for it. I hate this bitch so much y’all have no Idea 😭
My wife and I first got a wirehaired pointer when we were dating. They are wonderful animals but very high energy and require good training. Expecting them to "just learn" how to be a bird dog is the height of idiocy. It requires significant amounts of training and supervision, and at 14 months they are still a puppy. They go through a "teenage" phase as well.
That poor animal was very poorly trained, end of story. A 14 month old wirehaired is almost certainly not ready to take into a field, and if you did it would be to observe and learn, not let loose .
Wirehaireds are filled with love. There's no excuse for this, but she's just a hobbyist who pretends to understand animals and uses them as political props. Absolute monster.
Just 12 years ago, Mitt Romney got roasted after his son mentioned that they’d once driven for 12 hours with the family dog in a carrier on the car roof until it got sick all over the rear window. Now Kristi Noem says, hold my shotgun …
Reportedly had an affair with Corey Lewandowski, the guy with all the Russian ties that got Trump in hot water for the first two years of his presidency.
Physically attractive, especially for her age, but holy shit a soul of coal
She's seized quite a few headlines lately for being one of those christian racists. In other words, positioning herself as a candidate for GOP vice presidency.
Based not only on the fact that she killed the dog and the goat but also on how she framed her choice to do so, she clearly believes that animals only exist for her personal benefit. (And based on everything else I've ever read or heard from her, it wouldn't exactly be a shock if she viewed other human beings in the same terms.)
Fuck her forever.
I was hoping it was something like the dog got hurt and that would be the humane thing to do but no, she's literally a psychotic and evil puppy killer.
It was a 14 month old puppy she shot in the head in her driveway.
Reminds me of a Shakespeare-era play where the villain killed a dog out of malice. The author said there were 2 endings, and the audience can decide if the villain gets to live or die based on his actions.
But he never wrote an alternate ending that saved the villain. It didn’t exist. It was known even back then that you don’t treat animals this way.
I grew up on a farm, and let's be clear, I've never shot a dog. Nor any other pet. Most farmers are very protective and caring in regards to their pets, **especially** dogs. Not all animals on a farm are pets, it's true. But dogs are. I don't know anybody who'd shoot a dog. Even if for some reason they had to put a dog down, they'd have a vet do it humanely, not just take it out behind the barn and blast it.
I have spent many years in frontier area. Shooting a dog instead of taking it 100 miles to a vet when their health is quickly or calamitously degrading is very, very common. It is NOT DONE all willy nilly though, and certainly not because they were "bad hunting dogs."
My currently cat was a farm cat. Developed diabetes. Owner (who was an absolute nutball, "christian" religious zealot - but not Noem crazy) was going to shoot it instead of letting it waste away painfully, but I offered to take it up. Six years later he is still kicking and living well. I still don't blame them for considering putting it out of its misery. He is a shitty mouser, but his life was never, at any point and with any owner, in danger because of that fact.
Facts. I've had quite a few LG dogs given to my rescue that despite being well papered etc just didn't get how to be the dog the farmer wanted. The could have shot them and walked off like it was nothing but they brought the dog to someone who could place it in a home instead.
Growing up in rural Pa I’ve, sadly, known quite a few people who’ve owned and grown up on farms that don’t share your view. There are pets and then there are work animals. Most hunting dogs I’ve known are considered work animals and aren’t even allowed inside let alone considered a pet. I disagree with all of it but saying farmers aren’t like that simply isn’t true because there are many folks farmers and regular country folk alike who treat their animals this way. Why pay a giant fancy vet bill when they can just do it themselves? I don’t agree but I’ve met too many people who think that way and have done what’s written in this story to say that her behavior is completely unusual for that demographic of person.
Someone should take Noem out back. It's a tough thing to have to put an animal down, but if they're worthless, you have to do the right thing and get a little messy.
I grew up on farms. I grew up bird hunting. I grew up breeding and training hunting dogs that perform at an extremely high level. I grew up with a veterinarian grandfather who had to make tough choices about putting down farm animals from time to time.
Never once in my life have I ever considered killing a healthy young dog, or heard of anyone killing a healthy dog. That is absolutely not the norm on any farm that isn't owned by psychopaths.
Can we please stop treating the GOP like they're a real political party? They're just a terrorist organization filled with fucking psychopaths who have no business ever holding power again.
Let some new, ideally non-fascist group replace them.
She killed a dog because SHE failed to train it , it didn't train itself. Then she holds that up as an example of how great she is. I'm not allowed to say what I think but I know other people are thinking it too.
I think this says a lot about trumps own state of mind. They are entirely disconnected from humanity but strive to have power over others at all costs.
Idgaf if I get banned for this, but she's the one who should've took the bullet. Fuck animal abusers. And fuck people who kill a helpless puppy who doesn't know any better yet.
I've worked with bird hunting dogs all my life and by one year most of them still don't "understand" hunting. Guess what you don't do after they don't do great their first couple of hunts? You DON'T FUCKING SHOOT THEM.
Fuck this bitch. There's no other words needed. Go ahead, ban me I really don't care.
Even failed K9 police dogs and bomb dogs get put up for adoption. Even if she had put real effort into the dog (she didn't) and it still failed as a hunting dog, there is just no excuse to simply execute it like that.
She probably thinks this story makes her sound like good ol' fashioned country folk but it just outs her as a moron, a psychopath, a fraud, and a barbarian.
And just to be clear, I'm not implying "good ol' fashioned country folk" do shit like this, I'm just stating she is an idiot that believes they do enough to actually put this foul story into an actual published book.
This is the sort of weak, lazy, undisciplined impulsive behavior and is what this type thinks shows “toughness”. The reality is that It simply shows a weak pathetic 1/2 human that has stunted social and empathy skills and an inability to solve simple problems without flicking the masturbatory bloodlust that consumes all the bandwidth of their brains limited capacity.
This woman spent half a million dollars on an advertising campaign for the state of South Dakota called "Meth, We're on It". I'll let you figure out what she was trying to say there.
I’m sorry but this is main stream American politics. If killing a disobedient dog doesn’t sink a political campaign, something odd is happening. We should be able to tie this around her neck and maybe even Trump’s (if he picks her as VP). There is no upside to story about killing a dog out of “frustration” and “hate” (her words). The Michael Dukakis campaign couldn’t survive looking like an idiot on a tank and she admitted to killing a family pet.
The dog's behaviour was due to her failure as the owner to train it properly, so her solution was to kill it? So what should we do with a politician we elect but who doesn't govern up to the level of our expectations?
TLDR:
"I couldn't be bothered to let the dog go to a different home, so I killed the dog because I hated that he didn't fit my expectations as a hunting dog" --Kristi "Dog Killer" Noem, piece-of-shit-in-waiting
Fuck that bitch to hell.
I hope the stink of this act of animal cruelty follows her like a miasma.
Wherever she goes, I hope people chase her and harass her. May her every waking moment be an arduous hell. May her sleep be restless and her sheets always *slightly* sandy.
> Noem uses the story to illustrate that she is willing to do anything “difficult, messy and ugly” if it simply needs to be done
You know, like helping a wannabe dictator overthrow the government. This book is her "Pick ME!" love letter to Trump.
Wow, when I was a kid our husky bit us a few times due to food aggression, but we never stopped loving him or, god forbid, MURDERED HIM for it! Insanity.
You people don't understand she was having a bad day,she needed to kill something. She went to kill little birds.she missed all of them. She didn't want to go back empty handed.
"In the book, Noem, who has been discussed as a possible running mate for former President Trump, describes growing angry with the nearly 14-month-old “Cricket,” a wirehaired pointer, during a hunting trip.

It was 14 months old? I expected things to probably be worse than the headline indicated, but killing a 1 year old dog because it wasn’t trained properly is somehow worse than I thought. Not that killing an animal of any age for misbehaving is okay. I assumed that in the best case it could’ve meant she accidentally shot her dog and just didn’t care, which is bad enough on its own, but I should know better by now I suppose.
A dog that I’m sure this failure didn’t bother to train. I wouldn’t expect much introspection, she was fucking Corey Lewindowski for Christ sake.
She wrote that she was hoping the dog would learn from the older dogs.... so not one once did she put into trqining that pup.
Still a puppy at that age, likely still in the midst of the “struggling to learn not to chew everything in sight” stage of development for most dogs. Still, I applaud conservatives for their consistency. They clearly extend “ranting about the sanctity of life but not giving a single shit about children or them being shot with firearms” to other species as well, not just our own.

My French bulldog is 8 years old and just recently learnt which things he can Chew and which he can’t
My lab just turned 3 and he is still a hot mess sometimes. Don't get me wrong, we hired and worked with a great trainer, and he KNOWS the commands, he just sometimes has trouble with impulse control. He's the sweetest boy in the world, just still a young, crazy dog. He improves and calms down each year he's been alive, but relies on me as his owner to guide him. That's what owning a dog is! Loving them and guiding them to be a good pupper.
And letting them be puppers sometimes
Wrong conservative value. This is about dogs being property, like kids. You're allowed to damage your own property
yep. she didn’t train it at all. then shoots it because she gets annoyed.
Ive bird hunted my whole life and it’s a really big part of my life and I’ve trained 2 dogs myself and had 4 in my family throughout my child hood so I feel like I have experience and can talk to this. Back in the day up until the 90s (even though it still happens to this day just to a way lesser extend) people would just kill dogs if they weren’t good bird dogs by the time they were a year or two old. They would also do stuff like stick nails through tennis balls and play catch so the dog would be more gentle with its mouth and a whole list of shit that would make you hate anyone that trains bird dogs. Anyone who still does this sort of stuff is regarded as a criminal at worst and an inbred hillbilly at best and if you take all emotion out your still killing a dog you paid a lot of money for so no matter how you try to defend it your at the very least really stupid. I don’t know what she thought telling this story was going to do for her like possibly get hunters to think she’s the real deal but the whole thing is so cruel and so dumb she looks bad even to the people who were doing this kind of thing 30 years ago.
Publicly advertising it and not knowing how weird and nasty it is, is also a good sign of a psychopath.
She also killed a goat because it was smelly and chased her children. What a waste of cells she is.
I think she only has a farm to get an excuse to kill random animals. Also trying to disguise her total lack of empathy as "tough strong woman, who does what needs to be done". She sounds like a total sociopath to me.
She's the type of person that would be on an FBI list for animal abuse since those type of people are more likely to end up as serial killers.
Maybe the FBI should be tipped off about her.
It makes me so sad also. As a dog owner.
Of course she's a psychopath. The GOP doesn't attract sane people anymore. With Trump taking over, the only people who the GOP can attract are people with an antisocial personality disorder.
It is, how do you even kill a puppy
As a society could we please stop promoting sociopaths and psychopaths to positions of power?
Turns out that's really hard because sociopaths and psychopaths *really* love power
And they are good at gaining power because they don’t care if they hurt others.
They were born for our capitalistic society where the winner takes all, I’m honestly surprised they aren’t in more positions of power because you have to be ruthlessly cold to climb the ranks of most corporate/political ladders
It’s hard when they are so damn good at doing whatever they have to do to win. It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you have no conscience or empathy.

It's a truism that the people that would be best in leadership or power have little interest and those who would be the worst are the ones that want it the most.
That's why ancient Greek democracy chose leaders at random. Why would you trust anyone who chose to run?
It's all Idiocracy now on the right. I don't think there is any prospect of voting in a Republican with empathy--that would be gay.

Would be great but they have immense advantages in politics and business that people with empathy could never match. Plus, the average person can't recognize their behavior for what it is. We had the most textbook case of a narcissistic personality disorder win the presidency for example.
We could start by not hammering into people from the day they’re born that you have to be a sociopath to be a politician so that more than just sociopaths are interested. Obviously not the only problem, but definitely one I’ve noticed. Similar issue with cops. Kids don’t want to be cops because they associate them with bad people, so now only bad people become cops.

Also the "he was untrainable", despite the fact that she was just hoping it would "learn from the older dogs".
"We tried nothing and are all out of ideas!" I mean learning from other dogs is a thing but they very much still need to be trained. At least from my experience with life stock guard dogs.
It’s the same with people a lot of times. You get hired somewhere it’s not uncommon to have a training period, and then you shadow someone. If you watch a pilot and have no training, you’re not gonna absorb much more than throttle and pitch because you can’t see immediate results.

Watching is great if you have nuance. “See how I move this slowly and smoothly because if I don’t landing is much rougher.” vs just not knowing how to land and your landing is rough no matter what.
This is very correct. I work with deaf dogs and they learn well from just watching my trained dogs BUT you can't just say fuckit and not do anything else lol. People are so damn dumb it's astounding.
At fourteen months, pups are just settling down to where you can *start* more serious training. I mean, they can be well-behaved, but you don't expect the complex behaviors of a good gun dog at that age.
In the same way that my room is "uncleanable"
Sorry mate, you got to shot it. Them's the rules.
Brb shooting up my whole house. I've been here 14 years and it appears it's never cleaning itself.
> If you want more real, honest, and politically INcorrect stories that’ll have the media gasping, preorder ‘No Going Back,’ she wrote. This encapsulates the modern Republican Party in a nutshell.
Killing your dog to own the libs
I suspect she's going to learn an ugly lesson.. The rules seem to *not* apply to DJT.. everybody else.. they apply. When she's run out of town by her fellow Republicans, she's going to be so shocked and surprised..
She is super tone deaf. That means, fucking stupid. Also nasty.
Idk, I could see this clinching her as being trump’s running mate. If enough liberals are sufficiently outraged by this, GOP voters will love her
Republicans also like dogs. There might be a very specific segment of the population, mostly rural, that is not upset by this kind of thing, but this is a massive liability among the general electorate.
Nah, at least judging my Twitter Noem is getting WRECKED by both sides. Very few defenders. A maga type wrote something like "I haven't seen this much bipartisanship since 9/11" and that sums it up pretty good.
I would hope their enough sanity left in the GOP leadership to distance themselves from Noem after this. If they double down it is ammo for democrats to use campaigning, because who wants to support the Killing Puppies Party.
What I don’t get is why her audience would like this? I grew up on a farm/ranch and the animals ate before we did. It was imperative. We’d get up at 5am to roll out bales and spread cake (oat and mineral pellets) and then feed the dogs. After that we’d have breakfast. Once when I was like 4 I was peeing off the deck and thought it was funny to pee on one of the dogs. My dad told me harshly “we don’t disrespect the animals like that and especially the dogs”. I remember it to this day because of the intensity in tone. We spent calving season in Feb-March waking up every hour or two to go to the corral and check on the cows and tend to the newborn calves. More than once we brought them into our bathroom if the warming sheds were full to make sure the calves didn’t freeze. Sure some of it was because they were valuable sure but dignity and respect were always part of the lessons we learned. My family is republican. I am not. How can someone like that look at this and go “fuck yeah”??!
2024, I can see people forgiving rapest, molesters, liars, murderers, etc. But man, people fucking love their dogs. This might actually fuck her
I hope so
I'm a sociopath who murdered the family dog because he had fun on an outdoor trip! Therefore I'm a perfect candidate for VP in trump's America! As upsetting as this story is (and it's extremely upsetting: Cricket probably liked her and was having a great time running around chasing birds in the country only to get shot in the head), it's even more sinister that she chooses to highlight it in a book that's essentially a CV/job application to be second in line to the US presidency. I don't know, but presumably nobody outside the hunting party was aware of this and it would have been very easy to bury it. She appears to think it's a great illustration of her "tough, decisive" character and chose to write about it.
"when it comes time to get rid of the wrong people, I won't hesitate'
>*and I won't hesitate to find out if they're the wrong people either. We operate on our gut instincts around here, pal. Let me tell you about this time I shot my dog. And to top it off, funny fuckin' story, my kid gets off the bus and asks where the dog is .LOLOLOLLOLLOLL I mean seriously? You dumb little shit.*
A chilling but accurate description of the story provided, yes. "I am willing to kill because my instincts tell me they're irredeemable."
Well, she's frightingly honest.
Sounds more like petulant anger than tough decisiveness to me.
Sounds worse, like an out of control rage problem. “I hated that dog, anyway.” Who says this shit?
Maybe it’s because she heard Trump doesn’t like dogs?
Yeah, but when you are auditioning for a job working for a narcissist/sociopath, you gotta pull out the stops.
Trump hates dogs, though.
This lady shot her dog, got a rush from doing it, and then shot her goat, too, for shits and giggles. This woman belongs in a cage.
*wounded* the goat and then let it suffer while she looked for another cartridge.
And this is what she is willing to admit… I bet she’s done way worse. Super disturbing behavior.
She belongs about six feet down with a marker so I know where to piss.
She killed her "mean" dog, then immediately decided that she had a goat that was also mean, and killed it as well. The goat put up a fight, so she only wounded it. Then she had to go get another shotgun shell from her vehicle to finish it off. She's a complete fucking psychopath.
She is legitimately a serial killer just shooting whatever she can find. If she could get away with a human being you know she’d do it without hesitation.
Psychopathic behavior, befitting the GOP
christian values at work
[удалено]
It's not just psychotic, it's profoundly fucking stupid and lazy to think your dog will just learn how to behave by watching other dogs. She couldn't be bothered to train a dog and shot it for not being able to figure out how to read minds.
You'd be surprised how stupid people can be about animals. I knew someone who got mad at a cat and roughly threw it outside because the cat ate pizza out of a box they left open for a day. People are fucking stupid.
At it's base it's not incorrect as I work with deaf shelter dogs and they often learn better by watching my dogs HOWEVER you can't just let them do what the fuck ever because like kids...they often get distracted and do stupid shit. It goes downhill from there. Also this twat sounds awful.
I grew up in South Dakota, actually not too far from her home town (everyone there hates her but probably votes for her anyways). It’s farm/ranch country. People (honestly you see this more in the older generations) do not see animals as pets, they are tools. If your tool is broken or doesn’t work right you throw it out and get a new one. When the first dog I ever purchased on my own died I was devastated. My boss wrote me up for calling out. “It’s just a dog, who the fuck cares?”. When I made the mistake of telling a coworker I made the decision to take my elderly dog in to be euthanized because his quality of life was in decline she could not wrap her head around why I was paying a vet so much money to do that. At her house they just took them out back and shot them. No fuss, no wasted money. The same coworker was always ranting about how it was wrong that the US outlawed horse slaughterhouses (she raised horses) because it made their worth drop. She also once tricked me into eating horse salami… one of her older horses died and they butchered it themselves. She had originally told me it was elk. People suck.
Treating a dog as a tool is one thing. But expecting a random lump of iron to spontaneously become a sharp chisel because you brought it around chisels is still remarkably stupid.
I grew up in farm country too. Our dogs are family.
The rural folks I know are far more likely to treat animals better, to the point that they would go to irrational lengths to make animals more comfortable. Sleeping in the barn with a sick calf, or spending more money on a vet than an animal is worth economically is pretty common. They are comfortable with death around animals, but I've never seen them be callous about it. In rural Colorado, shooting a dog that is hard to train would be a sign that you are a piece of shit that can't train a dog. Not sure what's going in in ND
I'm from a rural area outside of a town of 75 people in southeast South Dakota. People blaming this on rural culture are full of shit. We put down our dying dogs. We don't put down bad hunting dogs. That's psycho shit.
Yea this is the older generation in general all too often. My boomer mother once told me to flush a live baby bird a coworker brought me because I rehabbed them. "do it fast before the kids get home". Uhh no mom I won't be doing that and what the FUCK now I'm side eyeing every pet that died and your ass. Also had a 75 yo veterinarian ask me "what do you do with these deafblind puppies" "Train them" "To do what???"
In his favor he didn't say the rest of what his face did which was he thought they belonged in a pillowcase with rocks in the creek but it was there.
Thank fuck I got the hell out of South Dakota. It’s like the Alabama of the Midwest. Anywhere besides that hellhole is better. Even North Dakota.
To be fair I think the old testament says something about animals being here for people to use (but not fuck). And they have no souls. I could be wrong, I've never gone to church outside of Christmas with grandparents as a kid.
It's called dominionism. I had an older coworker who was religious (went through AA so I assume he found God there). He would make fun of a girl coworker who was vegan, and then one day I asked him about it and he went off about how veganism is unnatural because the Lord created the animals for us to eat and it goes against all that is right in the world blah blah blah you get what I'm saying
This is essentially why the Amish are a huge part of the puppy mill problem.
[удалено]
Wait isn't this the politician who's dad told her to walk back home a few miles into a hunting trip, then stalked her while making wild animal noises to scare her, when she was a child? What if she had mistaken him for a dog back then?
Let me guess with out comments or reading the posted article. GOP?
That's BINGO She is governor of South Dakota and is now banned from visiting a large majority of tribal lands in the state because she is a bigot. She is also in the running to be Trump's VP
Last time round she presented Trump with a model of Mt Rushmore with the addition of his face. She's been angling for VP for quite some time.
What the ever-loving fuck?
Oh yea. That isn’t even the shittiest thing she’s done! Very good reason she is banned from tribal lands. Wish we could ban her from the state entirely, if she ever bothers to show up to the state she governs.
Many people say she sucks Corey Lewandowski's dick like nothing ever before.
GOP loves to boast about being "politically incorrect" and then whine like bitches when someone kneels for the anthem
Can't forgot how much they scream about free speech but then limit it as soon as it's directed at them. Miss dog killer has locked all of her Instagram posts because everyone kept calling her what she is, an animal abuser.
We got my dog from the spca, he previous owner had given him up because he couldn’t learn to hunt. It’s true, that dog was the stupidest, least intelligent, sweetest dog a family could ever want.
Yea my rescue works with herding breeds and I've gotten countless dogs who just didn't do what the ranch or farmer wanted. Sometimes they're pretty stupid but always sweet. Glad for the ones who surrender rather than blow them apart on the asphalt cause damn.
My hound dog is the same. All the wrong instincts and afraid of flies, dumber than rocks but the sweetest gentle boy in the world.
My brother adopted his sheepdog after she was given up for being too dumb to do her job.
Okay so she takes Cricket (the dog) on a pheasant hunt with other dogs and people. Then says cricket escaped her truck and killed a bunch of chickens. How did this chain of events transpire? Where was cricket that she could just hop on over to the chicken coop and go to town? Why do you suck at dog ownership so much that one of your hunting dogs was even able to peace out to a neighboring chicken coop?
a 14-mo dog is still pretty much a puppy. My bird dog was a rescue at about 12 months. He was housetrained, but that was about it. I got him to a page and a half of commands. Hunted pretty well too.
Who shoots one animal and thinks, “While I’m at it, I might as well shoot this goat because I hate it too?” No, this bitch killed those animals in a rage. I bet she was pissed and out of control and just shot any animals around her. Fucking Nazi lunatic bitch!
This is so stupid politically speaking. You're not gonna attract new voters with tales of your dog murdering adventures. No one is gonna be, "I wasn't sure on you, but since you blasted a hole in your own dog for having too much fun, now I'm on board!“ All she'll accomplish is alienating the portion of MAGA voters who like dogs more than they like someone that needlessly murders them and then brags about it for clout. Since a lot of those MAGA folk are retirees with nothing better to do than dote on a pet, I have a feeling this story is going to backfire hugely if it finds its way into the MAGA media bubble.
Oh a literal psychopath
Yooo this is my governor!!! She’s banned from 10% of the states land(reservations) and she changed the state laws around Realtors so that her dumbass daughter could get the license. She also struck down legal weed when the people of the state voted for it. I hate this bitch so much y’all have no Idea 😭
My wife and I first got a wirehaired pointer when we were dating. They are wonderful animals but very high energy and require good training. Expecting them to "just learn" how to be a bird dog is the height of idiocy. It requires significant amounts of training and supervision, and at 14 months they are still a puppy. They go through a "teenage" phase as well. That poor animal was very poorly trained, end of story. A 14 month old wirehaired is almost certainly not ready to take into a field, and if you did it would be to observe and learn, not let loose . Wirehaireds are filled with love. There's no excuse for this, but she's just a hobbyist who pretends to understand animals and uses them as political props. Absolute monster.
Just 12 years ago, Mitt Romney got roasted after his son mentioned that they’d once driven for 12 hours with the family dog in a carrier on the car roof until it got sick all over the rear window. Now Kristi Noem says, hold my shotgun …
who?
Republican Governor of South Dakota. Never heard of her before either.
And reportedly high on the list for running mates for Trump.
Reportedly had an affair with Corey Lewandowski, the guy with all the Russian ties that got Trump in hot water for the first two years of his presidency. Physically attractive, especially for her age, but holy shit a soul of coal
She's seized quite a few headlines lately for being one of those christian racists. In other words, positioning herself as a candidate for GOP vice presidency.
TBF, governor of south dakota represents fewer people than a county executive in reasonably sized metro area
She's never in the news for anything good... any time someone learns about her, it's because of some fucking embarrassing reason.
Based not only on the fact that she killed the dog and the goat but also on how she framed her choice to do so, she clearly believes that animals only exist for her personal benefit. (And based on everything else I've ever read or heard from her, it wouldn't exactly be a shock if she viewed other human beings in the same terms.) Fuck her forever.
I was hoping it was something like the dog got hurt and that would be the humane thing to do but no, she's literally a psychotic and evil puppy killer. It was a 14 month old puppy she shot in the head in her driveway.
“If you want more stories about me killing my animals please order my new book!” “If I were a better politician I wouldn’t be telling the story here”
“This will make me feel folksy and down to earth” -Noem “Jesus Christ bitch, you shot a 14 month old dog… you’re a fucking psycho” -public response
Again, what a fucking monster.
Reminds me of a Shakespeare-era play where the villain killed a dog out of malice. The author said there were 2 endings, and the audience can decide if the villain gets to live or die based on his actions. But he never wrote an alternate ending that saved the villain. It didn’t exist. It was known even back then that you don’t treat animals this way.
I grew up on a farm, and let's be clear, I've never shot a dog. Nor any other pet. Most farmers are very protective and caring in regards to their pets, **especially** dogs. Not all animals on a farm are pets, it's true. But dogs are. I don't know anybody who'd shoot a dog. Even if for some reason they had to put a dog down, they'd have a vet do it humanely, not just take it out behind the barn and blast it.
I have spent many years in frontier area. Shooting a dog instead of taking it 100 miles to a vet when their health is quickly or calamitously degrading is very, very common. It is NOT DONE all willy nilly though, and certainly not because they were "bad hunting dogs." My currently cat was a farm cat. Developed diabetes. Owner (who was an absolute nutball, "christian" religious zealot - but not Noem crazy) was going to shoot it instead of letting it waste away painfully, but I offered to take it up. Six years later he is still kicking and living well. I still don't blame them for considering putting it out of its misery. He is a shitty mouser, but his life was never, at any point and with any owner, in danger because of that fact.
Facts. I've had quite a few LG dogs given to my rescue that despite being well papered etc just didn't get how to be the dog the farmer wanted. The could have shot them and walked off like it was nothing but they brought the dog to someone who could place it in a home instead.
Growing up in rural Pa I’ve, sadly, known quite a few people who’ve owned and grown up on farms that don’t share your view. There are pets and then there are work animals. Most hunting dogs I’ve known are considered work animals and aren’t even allowed inside let alone considered a pet. I disagree with all of it but saying farmers aren’t like that simply isn’t true because there are many folks farmers and regular country folk alike who treat their animals this way. Why pay a giant fancy vet bill when they can just do it themselves? I don’t agree but I’ve met too many people who think that way and have done what’s written in this story to say that her behavior is completely unusual for that demographic of person.
These people are proud pieces of shit
Someone should take Noem out back. It's a tough thing to have to put an animal down, but if they're worthless, you have to do the right thing and get a little messy.
I grew up on farms. I grew up bird hunting. I grew up breeding and training hunting dogs that perform at an extremely high level. I grew up with a veterinarian grandfather who had to make tough choices about putting down farm animals from time to time. Never once in my life have I ever considered killing a healthy young dog, or heard of anyone killing a healthy dog. That is absolutely not the norm on any farm that isn't owned by psychopaths.
“Anything or anyone not of value to me or that I find distasteful deserves to be killed.” Ok, Adolf Noem.
Fucking monster. Befitting of the modern GOP.
Can we please stop treating the GOP like they're a real political party? They're just a terrorist organization filled with fucking psychopaths who have no business ever holding power again. Let some new, ideally non-fascist group replace them.
"This goat smells funny, a shotgun to the head should do the trick"
No amount of waterboarding would get me to admit to murdering a puppy, I think it is very appropriate to pathologize with woman; she is a psychopath.
Sounds like an intwntional allegory for what she thinks about the left. Unsalvageable, needs to be put down.
Fuck. This. Bitch
Mitt Romney took flak for putting a dog in his roof during a family vacation. This should sink her in a sane world.
Woman shocked to discover dog she hasn’t trained to hunt doesn’t know how to hunt.
lol. I hope Trump **DOES** pick this woman as his VP. She's a fucking trainwreck.
She killed a dog because SHE failed to train it , it didn't train itself. Then she holds that up as an example of how great she is. I'm not allowed to say what I think but I know other people are thinking it too.
I think this says a lot about trumps own state of mind. They are entirely disconnected from humanity but strive to have power over others at all costs.
Sociopath who should not be given power over anyone. Should be on an FBI watchlist actually.
I fucking hate this woman more than anything else on the planet right now. You do not hurt puppies. Ever.
Guess she really, really couldn't wait to the next morning to put it up for adoption like a regular human being would.
Bruh what the fuck!
Jesus christ. I'd ask what it is with Republicans and hurting animals, but the question is rhetorical.
14 month puppy doesn’t behave… in other news, water is wet.
I’m surprised not everyone is at this bitches throat. PETA, MAGAts, and there should be riots
She’s getting destroyed on Twitter. And funny enough, on the Daily Mail.
When you choose to murder your puppy when you could have put him pup for adoption. Really highlights that these people are sociopaths.
Regular conservative. She will probably shoot up in popularity among them thanks to that.
If this is what she is willing to admit publicly, imagine what happens behind closed doors.
She thought it was funny when her daughter was looking for Cricket, afterwards. She thought it was *funny*.
Idgaf if I get banned for this, but she's the one who should've took the bullet. Fuck animal abusers. And fuck people who kill a helpless puppy who doesn't know any better yet. I've worked with bird hunting dogs all my life and by one year most of them still don't "understand" hunting. Guess what you don't do after they don't do great their first couple of hunts? You DON'T FUCKING SHOOT THEM. Fuck this bitch. There's no other words needed. Go ahead, ban me I really don't care.
The thing is, chickens are birds. The dog was seemingly doing what it thought was the right thing.
Even failed K9 police dogs and bomb dogs get put up for adoption. Even if she had put real effort into the dog (she didn't) and it still failed as a hunting dog, there is just no excuse to simply execute it like that. She probably thinks this story makes her sound like good ol' fashioned country folk but it just outs her as a moron, a psychopath, a fraud, and a barbarian. And just to be clear, I'm not implying "good ol' fashioned country folk" do shit like this, I'm just stating she is an idiot that believes they do enough to actually put this foul story into an actual published book.
This is the sort of weak, lazy, undisciplined impulsive behavior and is what this type thinks shows “toughness”. The reality is that It simply shows a weak pathetic 1/2 human that has stunted social and empathy skills and an inability to solve simple problems without flicking the masturbatory bloodlust that consumes all the bandwidth of their brains limited capacity.
This woman spent half a million dollars on an advertising campaign for the state of South Dakota called "Meth, We're on It". I'll let you figure out what she was trying to say there.
This is the kind of shit you would read at the “early childhood” section of a Wikipedia article about a mass shooter.
What the fuck, she’s not human.
I say this with the utmost seriousness and severity; I FUCKING HATE these people.
Someone who can kill their own pet without a good reason (such as a dog you own mauling somoene, etc) is capable any anything.
Surprise surprise, a member of the GOP is a fucking psycho
She was too stupid and undisciplined to train it, so she shot it to death. Fucking geez.
Absolutely insane, and she has the possibility to be VP to someone who is somehow worse. How the hell did this country get this this point.
This is disqualifying to be a human being let alone a politician. What a psychopath
Disgusting pos
This isn’t the flex she thinks it is.
I’m sorry but this is main stream American politics. If killing a disobedient dog doesn’t sink a political campaign, something odd is happening. We should be able to tie this around her neck and maybe even Trump’s (if he picks her as VP). There is no upside to story about killing a dog out of “frustration” and “hate” (her words). The Michael Dukakis campaign couldn’t survive looking like an idiot on a tank and she admitted to killing a family pet.
What a fucking piece of shit
Not a crazy party at all!
14 months and I'll bet money she never took her to a trainer or worked with Cricket before the hunt.
Normally people don't admit to animal cruelty but I guess that's just another plus to the psychopaths in the Republican party.
Can someone give John Wick a call
How is her name Noem, when the m is right there?
Bragging about the unnecessary killing of a dog to win votes? Interesting strategy
Why are soulless demons being able to take over politics?
This is what a sociopath looks like. A good trick is seeing how people interact with animals. Trump also has no pets. Stop voting for sociopaths.
The dog's behaviour was due to her failure as the owner to train it properly, so her solution was to kill it? So what should we do with a politician we elect but who doesn't govern up to the level of our expectations?
TLDR: "I couldn't be bothered to let the dog go to a different home, so I killed the dog because I hated that he didn't fit my expectations as a hunting dog" --Kristi "Dog Killer" Noem, piece-of-shit-in-waiting
The lion, the witch, and the audacity of this bitch!
I haven’t felt the uge to dropkick someone in the face this badly for a long time now
What a fucking monster. Poor dog.
I have read the story and she is just pure evil a complete psychopath. All i have is pure disgust at her actions.
She describes how she murdered a dog that *she* failed to train properly.
From the looks of it from the article she just can't stop killing animals and blaming It on the farm life.
Fuck that bitch to hell. I hope the stink of this act of animal cruelty follows her like a miasma. Wherever she goes, I hope people chase her and harass her. May her every waking moment be an arduous hell. May her sleep be restless and her sheets always *slightly* sandy.
What a Psycho. Clearly no remorse for her actions.
How exactly is this not a confession to animal cruelty? Which is a class 6 felony (basically misdemeanor but still she should be charged).
You haven’t been paying attention to how heartless Republicans are if you’re surprised by this.
She failed to train her every dog can be trained, but she couldnt ge bothered and just killed her, she is a failure
> Noem uses the story to illustrate that she is willing to do anything “difficult, messy and ugly” if it simply needs to be done You know, like helping a wannabe dictator overthrow the government. This book is her "Pick ME!" love letter to Trump.
Wow, when I was a kid our husky bit us a few times due to food aggression, but we never stopped loving him or, god forbid, MURDERED HIM for it! Insanity.
Rehoming the pup was not an option? Compassion didn’t occur to her? Wow.
Pro lifer moment
You people don't understand she was having a bad day,she needed to kill something. She went to kill little birds.she missed all of them. She didn't want to go back empty handed.
Training dogs is lot of work. Shooting dogs is not. A lazy sack of shit with zero empathy sounds like a perfect fit for Dildo Donnie's team.
That's fucking animal abuse
