Eating a lemon pie and shooting a bad dog that bites people are two different things.
I don't approve of how she did things, but in the real world, country people can and do kill animals. I put two rounds of buckshot into one of my barn toms, because he whipped one of my favorite young cats.
The governor was an idiot for publicizing the incident. Until I know a bit more, I'm not going to say she was an idiot for shooting the dog.

Best line yet about the political miscalculation:
Trust me: If there were any advantage to career advancement in the GOP by killing puppies, Elise Stefanik would have blown up a kennel long ago.

“I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. I’m sure he underestimated me, having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants (I’d been a children’s pastor, after all). Dealing with foreign leaders takes resolve, preparation, and determination.”
enough about the dog...turns out she also described a meeting with kim jong un which apparently never took place. so how much of this book is her, and how much is ghost writing, where the ghost writer is giving a "situation" and sort of makes up dialogue, later to find out the "situation" didnt happen

Sigh. She continues to double down. She said the Biden's dogs attacked 23 secret service agents, and perhaps they should have been put down.
And, I know I shouldn't but ... Isn't she looking a bit..."trampy" these days?

Of course she did...

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) pitched herself for a top NRA job as early as last fall, two sources told Axios.
Why it matters: Noem offered to step down early as governor for the role, according to a person familiar with her conversation with former NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre.
- Late last fall, Noem called LaPierre to advocate to be the next executive vice president or CEO of the gun lobby.
- Noem is now in a heated PR cycle over passages in her book about shooting her dog and meeting with Kim Jong Un.
The big picture: Noem has long been aligned with the NRA, signing an executive order during its annual conference last year.
- Her name came up in very senior NRA circles immediately after LaPierre resigned in January, according to a source familiar.
- LaPierre has little official control over who will be tapped as his successor, but the 76-person board, stocked with many people he nominated, will vote to determine who obtains the position.
Zoom in: Noem was previously seen as a potential contender to be Trump's running mate. She has vehemently defended her decision to shoot her dog, Cricket, arguing the 14-month-old animal was dangerous and untrainable.
- When pressed on the supposed Kim Jong Un meeting, Noem refused to provide a definitive answer but said the book would be changed.
The other side: A spokesperson for Noem "unequivocally" denied that the governor had a conversation with LaPierre.
- "She loves her job as Governor of South Dakota," Ian Fury told Axios.
- LaPierre, through his lawyer Kent Correll, declined to comment.

Who needs the Babylon Bee, or even SNL, when we have "reality"?

Trump's batting 1000 so far. Nice. I don't really understand why Gabbard is so controversial, but I've heard she's got the longest shot.

You know my studied opinion on the matter.
Not that my opinion, or anyone else’s here, is of any consequence.
Elbows up!

I see Fetterman and Peters breaking with the party stance. But I don’t see the rest. Kaine, especially. It will be interesting to see where some of these other votes land.

Kennedy Noem is interesting. Has her mother's good looks, a polysci degree and worked on her mother's campaign.
Could have been a college athlete, but an old injury made her quit her freshman year...She had broken her back in high school playing basketball.
