What's on the menu for the evening?
Oh, hot dogs with goat cheese…
At this point I can only surmise that when Noem talks about shooting a dog and goat and throwing them in a gravel pit (because she had to even if it was difficult), she’s really talking about shooting browns, gays, trans people, immigrants or anyone else on laundry list of people the GOP cannot wait to murder.
Fascist Cosplaying: Vicarious Violence.
Noem is gunning to be Trump's VP candidate.
Well, it’s not as if it will spoil her chances with The Screaming Yam. He hates dogs. He’s a germophobe and thinks pets are unsanitary. I didn’t realize how few presidents had no pets in the White House;
From Wikipedia: “Most United States presidents have kept pets while in office, or pets have been part of their families.[1] Only James K. Polk, Andrew Johnson, and Donald Trump did not have any presidential pets while in office.[2] However, Johnson did take care of some mice he found in his bedroom.[3]“

Is there still time to get Rittenhouse as a warm-up
shooter, I mean speaker?I wonder if PETA and friends will show up outside the event.
If I weren't laid up, I might be interested in taking my Great Dane for a walk.

The dumbest thing about all of this is that Noem thought this would make her look tough and courageous somehow. What an idiot.
No doubts that she will double down on this conduct and use it to prove she is ready to be Trumps VP lackey.
That puppy has been dead for nearly 20 years and it just bit her in the ass again.
I read one line suggesting puppy Cricket could be Kristi's Viet Noem.
Let them have their party. They should let her come (not by shooting animals) and speak and see how it gets received by the general public.
This comes on the heels of the wolf torture scandel in Wyoming. People are getting fed up with animal mistreatment and abuse. She's also been banned from stepping foot on the rez by the Sioux.
The Wyoming incident was despicable.
I can tell you the communities on the western slope are in turmoil over the wolf re-introduction issue. I think politics has so invaded the discussion it has gotten ugly.
I am pretty sure the government pays ranchers and livestock owners for losses due to predation, and I believe it is a generous sum. I don't know, however, if the program is managed fairly.
1,689,000 Livestock in Wyoming. 97 (0.006%) Livestock killed by wolves last year. . And ranchers are compensated by WY Fish and Game for loss. 85% of Wyoming is predator zone where wolves can be killed at any time in any quantities no license required.
The wolf torture incident has now prompted a lawsuit against the feds to force the re-listing of of the northern gray wolf, so hopefully some good will come out of this.
The state has a generous compensation program for livestock lost to wolves.
Last week someone on this blog mentioned that at times, once a dog gets a taste for blood, they become generally hostile and will do anything to get “more”. That is in fact true (not unlike billionaires who get a taste of money and will do anything to get more) and they have to be dealt with. I grew up on a ranch in Yuma County and while coyotes were generally our only problem I do remember a time when a pack of stray dogs were roaming the region and were eventually hunted down with a helicopter and killed.
As far as Noem, she clearly had an audience of one in mind when she decided to include her killing of Cricket in the book.
It's coming out today that Noem claimed in her book to have met Kim Jong Un, and everybody is calling bullshit. She really isn't doing herself any favors.
