Contrary to her tweet, I’ve not seen a single report on Gov. Noem’s book that indicates she ever said that Cricket had bitten anyone other than a chicken. The closest thing she said is that when she grabbed the dog she hated, it tried to bite HER. Cricket was smarter than Kristi.

Safe to say that “normal” people don’t develop so much hatred for a dog that they just decide one day to blow its brains out in a gravel pit. #kristinoem

A gravel pit in deep blue Watertown, South Dakota might seem like a strange place to meet a Trump supporter. But over the cries of a dying puppy, you can hear whispers that Biden is the reason shotgun shells are $2 a piece.

Praying at least one book review will use the headline “They Shoot Puppies, Don’t They?” for this one.

George is right. Read what he said: 'Until now, no American president had ever faced a criminal trial. No American president had ever faced a criminal indictment for retaining and concealing classified documents...'

Park fun!!

If you can’t express sincere regret about blowing a puppy’s brains out, you should simply be grateful the statute of limitations has run, and just shut up about it.

Reagan, among others, used to say “if you’re explaining you’re losing.”

Seems extra true that if on Day 3, you’re still explaining why you shot your dog, you’re really losing.

Vibes.

I just want to read but these two have other ideas
