Personally, I wouldn't let my dog near any Republican, except to eat them. What is it about Republican leaders and their dogs? "Ted" Cruz left his alone in his unheated home to freeze while he fled to Cancun to escape a severe cold wave. Mitt Romney, who the media would have us believe is "not a psycho," thought it was a fine family vacation thing to do to put the family dog in its carrier and tie the whole ting to the top of the car despite the pleas from the kids. Father Knows Best. meets "I Don't Care, Do You? The poor dog was so terrified and traumatized as the wind ripped through the carrier that it became a mobile diarrhea machine breezing down the highway. No fan needed. How's that for Republican practicality?
Enter South Dakota Governor Kristi "Hold My Beer" Noem. She shot her puppy. Apparently she felt it would never make a good hunting dog. Therefore, she said it was useless just like Republicans think of 99% of us. Useless. Go ahead, pick a 4 or 5 letter word to describe Kristi Noem. It will never be enough.
If Ms. Noem didn't want the puppy she could have done the normal thing and taken it to a place that would have found a good home for it but that's not a front of mind thing for Republicans. Sadism is. They're all about misery and death. Death for everything on the planet. But I suspect, strongly, powerfully, that she took some pleasure in shooting her dog. You could say, "How Lauren Boebert of her," but it's more than that. Kristi Noem wants to be Vice President for The Orange Menace To Society, a man who openly hates dogs. In other words, Kristi Noem was burnishing her credentials. Who knows, maybe she fancies herself as some kind of Josef Mengele.
Where the hell do they find people like Kristi Noem? South Dakota, I guess. But really any cesspool where Republicans are known to congregate. Maybe this shooting a puppy thing will become popular with Repugs. Sick nihilists, all. Maybe the Republicans will have dog fighting pits at their convention. MC'd by Sean Hannity or some other FOX-Pravda douchebag. Jesse Watters? Maybe Texas Gov. Greg Abbottt? I can see it and you can, too. They get crazier every damn day. Next week she'll paint her face orange and bring a puppy to a Trump rally and shoot it. The crowd will cheer. You know they will.
anecdote time. I volunteer at a shelter. someone happened upon a dog out in the woods that had been shot (3 times) but was not dead. took him to the shelter. vets donated their time, did surgery, and the dog recovered. He turned out to be the sweetest 95 lb pittie you could ever meet. Got adopted almost as soon as he healed. Doing great. The police found the owner that shot it. Know what they did? Not one thing. For all I know he could be fuhrer some day.
shitholes are like that.
