Maybe Cricket killed the chickens because she knew she screwed up the pheasant hunt the day before?

Also, apparently when Noem didn't quite kill the goat with the first shotgun blast, she let the poor thing suffer while she walked back to her car to get another shell. It was a bit of a killing spree that day.

Not only did Noem show a shocking lack of empathy, she also showed a shocking lack of judgment. She thought that story made her look good. Keep this woman out of office and definitely away from writing any more books.

I'd prefer they keep admitting to being horrible, makes it easier to navigate for at least 60% of us

Let's go a step further keep every Republican out of office.

They're all losers. I could substitute 100 Republicans in her place and expect every single one to act the way she did.

Nah most Repubs wouldnt do this, they all have their unique brand of evil. This type of proud dog murder requires a certain blend of rural fetishization and a "women can do toxic masculinity too" attitude.

Matt Gaetz wouldnt do this, he knows that it wouldnt play well on tiktok for all the 17 year olds hes trying to sleep with.

Doug Burgum wouldnt do this, he would hire a minimum wage contractor to kill the dog, and structure the whole operation under a LLC for tax preferred status.

Lich McConnel wouldnt do this, he is busy deep in the senate catacombs, guarding his phylactery and casting blood magic to ensure Democrats will never appoint a supreme court justice.

Cricket deserved better.

This sounds so very like the Boomer mindset: get yours, get out, and leave the fall-out for others to deal with (those still alive at least).

Next: she will be shocked, Shocked I tell you, SHOCKED when the consequences of her actions catches up to her.

It's what a strong leader would do. /s

Fucking asshole. It was a dog. You could have got it a new home.

Kirsti Noem shot her dog (and a goat) and wrote about it in her book. She's a possible vice presidental candidate for Trump.

OIC. Seems like a gem of a person...

This is extremely upsetting if this is what went down.

What the fuck.

This book needs a new name.

I propose: Incompetent Boob.
