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?

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.

Stupid funny thought

We should be able to popular vote in anyone to the presidency in the country, by force. lol

He could be the Cincinnatus of our time. Trump proved you don't need qualifications to do the job, so why not pick someone who has demonstrated that they are willing to fight for the average American without an expectation of a reward? Rather than some business tycoon sociopath who wants to run the country like a business and promptly bankrupt it.

Another 1 million Russian soldiers into the meat grinder it is, then.

I wrote him and asked him to run against Trump in 2024. The man has his flaws, but I don't think there's anyone better to win that particular race.

I have. All of them have to hold back something because their format doesn't allow it. South Park is a format that's designed to be crude, and that's what Trump deserves.

I like how this is coming back into public knowledge after some washed up, irrelevant cartoon aired.

I'm just parroting what Trump said after the first episode. I love South Park ❤️

Oh!!! I see! I try not to listen to most of what he says, so I missed the reference. I’m watching all the new ones now!

I see... Just normal serial killer behavior. I wonder why someone would want to put scores of people people matching a certain profile in the care of a serial killer?

Whatever I'll say it. Is she a dangerous sociopath, very likely. Does what she did to the goat fit the definition of the South Dakota law written above, doubt. A judge/ jury would find she thought a gunshot would kill the goat, and shot it. And since it is her story no one can prove she pranced around or did anything other than what she said she did, which was go get another "shell" to end its life. Her compete disregard for other peoples lives/feelings/wants/freedoms make her a shit person who should fear the possibility of her claimed religion being real. But being a shit person isn't part of that law.

What I don't understand is why I've seen people say she used a pistol and she keeps using the term shell. Her wording seems specific to her using a shotgun to shoot the goat, which should make it harder to miss... But it isn't a guarantee. But my point being is that if she shot the dog with a pistol she had on her, she would have had to put the pistol away, see the goat, go grab a shotgun from the truck and shoot it at least once, and realize she was out of shells and go back.

She may need to see a specialist to figure out if she should be committed, but I don't think anyone could prove she broke a law.

The dog she can justify with him trying to bite her (not saying I agree, but she can provide justification). The goat isn't justifiable at all.

How they're "put down" (that's a very kind euphemism) is only part of the problem. It's how they're forced to live

That's their entire life.

2

This is the internet. Deflection from the point being made, in an effort to one-up or simply argue with a post.

13

Between what the law says and what actually happens, there is a yawning gulf. It's the same in basically all jurisdictions where there are animal-welfare laws. The meat industry is powerful and consumers are unrelenting in their clamor for cheap meat. With such incentives, the weakest link is always going to be animals, which by definition have no voice.

-1

You support the Trump administration?

Because when this shit comes up and you do your best to shift the focus, that's one of two conclusions I can come to.

14

Not withstanding what @boddhisatva wrote in reply and in no way a defense of the meat industry, you're missing the point.

The point is the woman demonstrably lacks any empathy and in fact appears to be a sociopath. She should never have been in any position of power over others, far less the position she holds now.

It's about her, not the animals (as horrible as it was for these, and is for other, animals).

18

This is exactly my mental response to this kind of story. Total hypocrisy. Try to ignore the pushback, cognitive dissonance is a powerful thing.

1

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.

22
lemmy.world

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!

Or don't. Decent satire but absolutely horrible episode. I almost did a spit take at the ending. Its barely even a coherent story.

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

39

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.

11
lemmy.ca

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.

17

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.

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".

The sick psycho bastard is worthless and untrainable and she would have thrived in the NKVD, Mao's CCP and the SA.

I don't think that's true. I think you learned it with the rest of us when she wrote about it in her book. Which is honestly way, way more wild, that she would consider doing this as a relatable story that she'd want people to know about her. True sociopath.

17
lemmy.world

Oh, when I said "when she did it", I don't mean when she shot her puppy, I meant when she bragged about it.

Sure, I just felt the need to reiterate for people that this psychopath felt like shooting her puppy in the head was a nice story that would help her electability.

11
lemmy.world

I don't know much about her, but I'm guessing she is pro life.

Also, the latest South Park episode went all in on showing her that way, into the credits lol

Stuff removed, stuff added, everything pulled tight. It's like taxidermy but for still alive vanity-obsessed women, and it often looks like it too.

I've seen this news story so many times – months ago. And considering the inhumanity of this administration, the blatant violations of the law it commits, the blatant racism, and how it tramples on constitutional democracy, I am constantly amazed that it seems to be this stirring up American sentiment. That's probably how it is in the age of social media. Not reason but a sob story with a puppy dog is what it takes to reach people.

Edit just to be on the safe side: This does not only apply to the US, of course—it is the same worldwide.

"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??

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

Technically it was one of the reasons that she was considered ineligible for POTUS by the RNC. 34 time convicted felon with a history of Sexual Assault had all the right qualifications though.

✔️ White ✔️ Male

She wasn't elected to anything. She was just appointed to a job that requires exceptional cruelty. You could see how she'd be uniquely qualified.

I choose to believe that they're completely uninformed and uneducated because that's better than the alternative.

I only learned about this because of the latest episode of South park.

Why focus on her cruelty to animals and not all the horrible things she's done to people?

1

Why not both? But also animals are generally innocent regardless of your place on the political spectrum. The fact she put down a dog (and later a goat) for such a petty reason demonstrates her inability to empathize with other living things; in short it reveals her as the psychopath she is.

4

There's a movie called Shallow Grave. Ewan McGregor's character is on the phone at work at a newspaper. We hear his side of the conversation:

Was there a pet in the house? Yeah, a pet. You know, like a dog or a budgie or a gerbil or something? What I need here is "PC Plod saves Harry the Hamster from house of horror". All right. Well, that's a pity. You see, no pets - no human angle.

This line has lived rent free in my head for almost 30 years. "All right. Well, that's a pity. You see, no pets - no human angle."

Because you and everyone else in the world are american and must know about everything every american public figure has ever done.

That's true, but you see why you can use that argument to take every single post from any other political community, slap "YSK" in front of it, and post it here, right? That's not really the point of YSK. At least not why I'm here.

I didn't post it. Just answering your question. No need to whine to me (or anyone) about it. Politics touch everything. The idea they should be cordoned off is toxic.

14

I don't disagree that this isn't the right community for this, but it is at least more useful to know because this is the head of US immigration, and so people outside the US should be aware of the caliber of people that we've put in power over people visiting our country. Like the tourist who got deported upon entering the country on vacation because he had a meme image of a bald Vance.

You know dogs are by law required to be out down if they have the habit of hitting people.

What habit of biting people? It bit a bird...after she took it bird hunting. To train it to hunt birds.

She says it "whipped around to bite her", but apparently, it didn't. Nor did it bite anyone else.

14 month old dog, didn't bite a single human, please tell me more about how vicious dog laws are applicable here.

Especially since the law was never involved in the first place, she just shot it in the head herself.

lemmy.world

You know what the real reason was: she felt disrespected and needed to feel power over... a puppy...

20

When Noem eventually got control of the dog, by grabbing her collar, she writes, "She whipped around to bite me."

If she had been bitten, she would have said, "she whipped around and bit me." Her quote itself infers no bite.

Legally, a fine and possibly jail from what I understand. Personally, I think that the law should require a lisence to own an animal that is perminently lost when abuse or neglect is discovered.
