You can’t make this shit up
Oh my fucking god what the hell is in the water over there?
Bitch doesn’t look very “american” by her own standards, does she? Time to visit salvador I guess.
Salvador torture camps explicitly rejects female criminals, their words
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
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.
The sick psycho bastard is worthless and untrainable and she would have thrived in the NKVD, Mao’s CCP and the SA.
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?
I assume she refers to herself as a responsible gun owner of course
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!
I didn’t even know who she was until this post.
Fuck. Sorry you lost your ignorance.
Or don’t. Decent satire but absolutely horrible episode. I almost did a spit take at the ending. Its barely even a coherent story.
My father was terrible towards my brother and I but he was even worse towards animals. Any sign of behavior that he could interpret as “disrespect” or aggression from an animal and he’d either abuse it or kill it. And he was also so fucking proud of himself after even bragging about it like he was some paragon of masculinity asserting his dominion over man and beast.
The fucking psychopath still wonders why I don’t talk to him outside of the holidays and family crises.
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”.
Kristi “Dog Terminator” Noem
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.
Apparently you haven’t seen Colbert, or Jon Stewart on the Daily Show.
Stewart 2028
He would be an incredible President precisely because he doesn’t want it.
Stupid funny thought
We should be able to popular vote in anyone to the presidency in the country, by force. lol
Isn’t that the same as “organizing a campaign”?
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.
If America was to elect a left wing stand up comedian Russia would invade the next day
Maximus, that is why it must be you.
Stewart 2032 begging to be primaried
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.
He literally did a song and dance saying “fuck you”.
And South Park isn’t shy about showing his tiny dick. Nobody else can get away with that.
I always call her Kristi “I shot my dog” Noem.
I call her Kristi “psycho dog killer” Noem.
“Less than worthlesss and untrainable” is a pretty accurate assessment of all republicans.
One would clearly take that assessment far more seriously in the republicans though. Cricket was a 14-month old puppy and would very probably have matured into a trainable companion animal. Something that could never happen with a republican.
it’s always projection
Any Republicans in particular? Which are the most worthless ones?
Here is another article that takes a more detailed take about what she bragged about in her book. It also focuses more on the legal aspects, pointing out that her killing of the goat appears to have violated the states animal cruelty laws. If nothing else, the details about this give a clear, and disturbing view into the type of person she is.
“Walking back up to the yard, I spotted our billy goat,” Noem wrote.
The nameless goat’s only sin in that moment was being in Noem’s field of view.
In the book, Noem tried to justify her snap decision to kill the goat by writing that it “loved to chase” her children and would “knock them down and butt them,” leaving them “terrified.” The animal also had a “wretched smell.”
But apparently none of that had been a big enough problem to do anything about it. Not until Noem got angry enough to kill a dog and decided she needed to kill again.
Noem says she “dragged” the goat to the gravel pit, “tied him to a post,” and shot at him. But the goat jumped when she shot.
“My shot was off and I needed one more shell to finish the job,” she wrote.
She studiously avoided saying she wounded the goat with the first shot, but that’s the implication.
“Not wanting him to suffer,” she added — apparently experiencing her first twinge of feeling, after saying that killing the dog was not “pleasant” — “I hustled back across the pasture to the pickup, grabbed another shell, hurried back to the gravel pit, and put him down.”
…
In reality, what Noem did to the goat — dragging it to a gravel pit, tying it to a post, shooting at it once, leaving to get another shell, and shooting it again — sounds an awful lot like the legal definition of animal cruelty. That definition in South Dakota law is “to intentionally, willfully, and maliciously inflict gross physical abuse on an animal that causes prolonged pain, that causes serious physical injury, or that results in the death of the animal.”
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?
So not only is she an awful human being, but she’s also an awful shot.
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.

Can we just say she’s dangerous and untrainable? Just a thought…
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.
pointing out that her killing of the goat appears to have violated the states animal cruelty laws
Killing billions of farmed animals a year: I sleep
Killing a pet: REAL SHIT BRO.
The point isn’t the killing of the animal. It’s the method and needless suffering involved. Taking pot shots at them until they’re dead is a little beyond the pale.
are you aware what happens in the animal agriculture industry?
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.
Sadly, I am. There are laws about how the animals can be put down and though they are not what I would want them to be, they do at least somewhat limit the cruelty inherent in the process.
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.
Right, so it doesn’t matter what Noem did, because there is already so much cruelty out there? Why are people defending her cruelty by pointing out the existence of institutional cruelty? They are both bad. One does not refute the other.
This is the internet. Deflection from the point being made, in an effort to one-up or simply argue with a post.
So theyre forced to live just like the people Noem is kidnapping via ICE?
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.
i feel like you’re a tad misinformed. They are super cruel to the animals. They split families up. They kill animals when they’re still children. They castrate pigs without anaesthetic. They cut off the beaks of chickens so they don’t peck each other. They throw male chicks into a giant masher ALIVE. How is that not cruel beyond cruel?
So because there are institutional scale cruelties like this, then it doesn’t matter that a person in a position high in the American government is bragging about her personal cruelty to animals? I am simply pointing out her failings in this regard and you are telling me what? It doesn’t matter what she did because there’s already a lot of cruelty out there?
I didn’t say it doesn’t matter. I was merely pointing out that cunts will be like “THAT POOR DOG” then go home and eat a cow steak who was also tortured.
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).
But what about the children?
This is exactly my mental response to this kind of story. Total hypocrisy. Try to ignore the pushback, cognitive dissonance is a powerful thing.
I like how this is coming back into public knowledge after some washed up, irrelevant cartoon aired.
That “washed up irrelevant cartoon” got a contract for $1.5B. Totally washed up…
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 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.
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.
She killed her puppy in a gravel pit, and got such a buzz off of it, she killed her goat right after.
"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??
Has anyone liimed into these horses??
Looks at keyboard
Ok, I guess that could make sense
Fixed it! My bad.
You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use liimed go need to do look more as anyone can.
