Sorry, Kristi it looks like you have to go back to being the rodeo queen at the livestock fair in Presho after your term is up.

go back to being the rodeo queen

I think you may have misspelled "clown".

I've known rodeo clowns. I respect them too much to associate them with her. They're some tough boys who would never kill a dog.

Fair point!

There's plenty of people who would have taken the pup. I know a guy who would take washed up problem dogs and turn them into world champion retriever dogs. It takes knowledge and work though.

I had a rescue dog that reportedly killed chickens when she was a puppy. She was the sweetest smartest dog i ever had, but very timid. For years if we raised our arms above our waist she would cower, if we raised our voice, she would cower. It was a challenge to discipline her because of her obvious past trauma so we trained her to go into timeout, if she misbehaved we would get out an egg timer and she would have to sit under the dining room table until it went off. This really worked as a deterrent.

When she was older she had some health issues and we did some x-rays for unrelated reasons. We discovered that when she was young (before we got her) someone had broken both her front legs. The vet said the nature of the breaks suggested they were deliberate. It was the first time in my life I felt actual rage.

Something she lacks in abundance.

There's no such thing as bad dogs, just irresponsible owners. If she had an ounce of self awareness, she would have pointed the gun the other way.

“There is no redeeming takeaway from a story about the ending of these animals’ lives, including a juvenile dog who was the family pet. These details from Governor Kristi Noem’s upcoming book demonstrate a disconnect with the 86 million American homes that have at least one beloved pet and value our relationship with them. There are so many effective and humane ways to deal with canine behavioral issues that don’t resort to such means.

Lock her up!

I mean, I wasn't really confused as to whether she was garbage before.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

"Republican ..."

"Ah, a garbage person!"

I keel puppies, am I conservative enough now??

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

NO NOT LIEK THTAT!!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Shit. It may have been but you don’t talk about it. Much less brag about it. That’s a weird story to tell to get people to like you.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Any dipshit thing a grandpa might have done? Conservatives think is some sort of commandment from God himself.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago

Grandpa wouldn't kill a puppy for acting like a puppy. They would have properly trained their dog, or gotten a different type of dog, or adopted it off.

I'm surprised the ATF hasn't headhunted her yet, she's a perfect fit

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

what an absolute cunt

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

She's a monster.

What a dumb topic to use for political gain.
