She’s not allowed to set foot on most Native American land in her state. I believe she can be arrested for that.

I hope she is--depends on when the killing happens though right, due to statute of limitations?

Does that state even have laws that prohibit the execution of a healthy pet? This is unbearable. The sheer cruelty.

There is on X-Twitter a CEO of a Pet Rescue that is not only inquiring about Noam killing that puppy 🐶 (the bitch!) but also filling a Complaint and @peta was notified along with @aspca and many others. We follow each other. His name is Chris (escapes me right now).

The changing surface landscape

From the sublimation of core beliefs

Not quenching our thirst for reason

The melting permafrost of convictions

Adding heated gases into

Any hope for civil discussion

Let us not flame

With swords of anger

This was the most sickening story of the day... she says the dog tried to bite her? I trust the dog a helluva lot more than I would her. Dogs are not inherently "bad". Their people are bad. Anyone who handles dogs will tell you that. I hope this bitch gets her karma in a big way. JFC 🤦‍♀️

Susan Niemann, Alicia Norman: As far as abuse of animals, remember Jeffrey Daumer and his monstruous piking of a dog head, and that as a kid. A cat, a dog has emotions and facial expressions that any human can relate to. A person who does not preserve the life of animals and cherish them will be cruel or worse to humans.

I had two friends from Navy General Counsel for over 30 years, but dropped them when I found how despicable they were -- Trump like -- after the battering of the husband of Nancy Pelosi.

I keep friends a long time, but if a person shows indifference to cruelty I drop them like flies.

Tellingly, they were fans of Flush Rimbaugh.

Alicia: Unfortunately your diagnosis of the RepubliKKKans is largely right.

Look at Tennessee, I am told a city cannot prohibit the carrying of guns to a children's park. TODAY, instead of protecting schools after tragic school shootings, the state legislature passed, and the Governor has already signed, legislation to ARM THE TEACHERS.

Teachers DO NOT want this RepubliKKKan remedy pushed into their faces at all. They live to cherish and nurture children, not to carry guns.

This country is becoming a nightmare.

This is lunacy.

That is my measure as well. Any human a child or animal loathes run away form screaming.

And yes we live in an upside down world where there are those who think the ultimate solution of death is the first response problem solver. Scary times.

Kristi Noem is a class A skank. Covid super-spreader, got her daughter preferential treatment in getting a real estate appraiser license (which said daughter failed), all around mean girl. How surprising animal cruelty is on the list.

PS. I’ve been good to all my animals, even my daughter’s obnoxious little dog (he didn’t have a good beginning with his previous owners, but we worked with him and I even cried years later when it was time to put him down).

Noem is merely describing how MAGA intends to deal with political opposition. It appears they intend to follow, of course, Russia’s Cold War definition of peace, “a peaceful bullet in your peaceful head.”

Abbot demonstrated a similar MAGA skill by arresting students exercising their constitutionally protected free speech rights, even after he recently signed a Texas bill that purported to ensure their rights to speak freely and peacefully on campus. A repeat of the Kent State National Guard student murders is likely coming under him soon, but only after he orders his armed, horse-mounted border mercenary troops to use hard twist bull roping ropes to beat them into “peaceful” submission.

It isn’t hard, messy or difficult to impulsively kill a dog you hate. What IS hard, messy and difficult is working with that dog, again and again, figuring out how to train it (plot twist: positive reinforcement is the way, shock collars are not!), and in the WORST case, finding a different home for it where it will thrive. THAT is hard! All she proves is that she and her fellow repuglicans will take the easy way out, every time, no matter what the cost. She is disgusting.

100 percent co-signed. She already hated it, so she was looking for any excuse to kill it as opposed to do the humane thing and find it a new home or take time to train it.

Cruel and controlling

Expand full comment

You are absolutely right. I wonder how that puppy got that way? By being abused repeatedly so much that he would bite his person? She obviously knows nothing of leashes and positive reinforcement. If her core belief is to kill what she hates, she has no business in public service. Perhaps needs mental health treatment.

Yes, cruelty to animals is one characteristic of such a personality disorder. In children, it would be a characteristic in Conduct Disorder which if not addressed can lead to Antisocial personality disorder
