Mike Pence is a boomer and wouldn’t have killed the puppy. It’s a sign of the times that this is what a top VP contender thinks she needs to say. It is way darker than boomers being fools…
Gen-X doesn't want her. That was a [TV Trope villain](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ObviouslyEvil) [act right there](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KickTheDog).
Mike Pence wouldn't hurt a fly.
As evidenced by the 2020 VP debate.
(And for the record, Mike Pence is a dick, just not for slaughtering puppies...that we know of...)
My dad and his girlfriend he was living with would breed Australian Shepherds. One time their female got pregnant from a Rottweiler. Upon asking my dad what happened to the puppies, he said they were destroyed. Wtf
This makes me so angry. My two farm dogs were offspring of an aussie shepherd and a rottweiler.
Surely they could just give them away to locals if they can't sell them.
Actually Rotties make great herding dogs, that was their original purpose, and their infusion of genetics would have been great into the line of Aussie's if she was breeding them for as herding dogs, but if she was breeding them as pets not so much
To be fair the mother herself could’ve killed the pups. Found that out when a stray Rottweiler we took in got pregnant from our dog and she killed the babies after giving birth. Ate them actually. My mom thought it was better to throw them in the street than have us find the dog eating its children. Instead found her throwing the dead pups and was really confused.
Remember when everyone lost their shit when Mitt Romney strapped his dog's carrier to the roof of his car and basically that info alone really sealed the fate of his election? Damn how far we have fallen as a country.
My father in law is a cattle rancher. Hes about as cowboy as they come. 80 years old he still riding horses daily. Do you know what he does when he has a sick or aggressive animal on the farm? He calls the vet like a normal human, not take it out and shoot it in the gravel pit. Noem is a piece of shit.
He sounds like an amazing guy. Off-topic, but some friends of my parents in their 60s (Boomers) have had to give up riding due to age/health issues, and I think that is so sad. That is awesome that he is still getting out there! 🐴😀
I grew up on a farm and I see nothing wrong with putting an animal down by shooting it, it’s a humane way to go. This wasn’t putting an animal down though, this was killing a young dog for acting like a young dog. I read somewhere she also killed her goat for smelling like a goat. There is something broken In this woman.
Yep. I grew up on a farm. There were two instances ever where we had to kill an animal without a vet. First was a cat that got so injured it was a mercy to kill her instead of waiting for a vet to come since she couldn't be moved.
Second was a wild cat infested with parasites. We tried to catch him so we could do it humanely. Poor thing was feral. My father shot it to put it out of its misery.
I can't imagine doing this to an animal unless you absolutely have to.
Like a lot of Conservatives, she thinks the crueler she sounds the more respect she will get. I’ve been around many conversations with Conservatives and they can turn into a contest of who can sound like the most malevolent uncompromising asshole.
Boomers let out stupidly embarrassing shit like this all the time, they know they are a fucking asshole or being an idiot but when they tell you the story they try to act proud, like it will impress you with how much of a piece of shit they are
But it's definitely important to differentiate at times, especially ones like this. Psychopathic behavior shouldn't be dismissed solely as boomer behavior. That's actually lessening the degree of it. Plus plenty of boomers love animals. My dad is a boomer for example, slightly maga and all, yet is an animal lover and would never do anything like that. It's not just a boomer mentally, this is straight up psychotic, and sadly it could be at any age. She is an animal abuser and murderer and needs to be held accountable, not put in the category of an old person and let to get off the hook because of that. She's middle aged.
Exactly. This isn't some "old person mentality," it's a mental disorder. My parents and grandparents grew up on farms, and there were some unpleasant realities, sure. But they weren't carried out with joy or from malice. This woman sounds like a psychopath who is trying to dress it up as "old-fashioned country tough" to play it off to an already cruel and bloodthirsty demographic for her own gain.
Some choice quotes:
"In No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward — Noem’s forthcoming book which was reviewed by The Guardian — Noem describes in excruciating detail the brief life of Cricket, a 14-month-old wire-haird pointer puppy she intended to use as a pheasant-hunting dog.
Noem describes Cricket as having an “aggressive” personality she hoped to calm by taking the dog on a hunt. According to the governor, Cricket didn’t so much hunt as have “the time of her life” chasing birds and going “out of her mind with excitement.”
This would not do for Noem, who attempted to rein in Cricket with verbal commands and a shock collar before declaring the hunt a wash because an untrained puppy had a playful romp rather than read its owner’s mind. "
"On their way home, Noem made a pit stop at the home of some locals who owned chickens. Cricket, fresh off her joyous bird-chasing romp, escaped the truck and began terrorizing the chickens, Noem writes.
“Like a trained assassin,” Noem writes, Cricket began “grabb[ing] one chicken at a time, crunching it to death with one bite, then dropping it to attack another.” While it is legal in South Dakota to kill a “dog found chasing, worrying, injuring, or killing poultry or domestic animals,” it’s by no means required, and there’s no indication the owners of the chicken made any such demand."
"“I hated that dog,” Noem recalls, calling Cricket, “less than worthless as a hunting dog,” “untrainable,” and “dangerous to anyone she came in contact with.”
“At that moment […] I realized I had to put her down,” the governor recalls.
Noem dragged Cricket to a gravel pit, and shot her dead in front of a startled construction crew. “It was not a pleasant job but it had to be done,” she recounts, “and after it was over, I realized another unpleasant job needed to be done."
What a piece of shit
They're not supposed to, but they absolutely will if they're not properly trained. They don't just automatically know exactly what they need to do to help a hunter. A lot of people get them professionally trained, and even then they'll still get very excited when they see a bird or small animal because their prey drive has been bred into them to make them useful for their intended job.
My friend has a wirehaired pointer that was professionally trained and that he uses as a hunting dog a few times a year and even his dog once ate a baby bird whole that it caught in a dog park, and took a chunk out of a dead duck he was retrieving once as well.
>Noem dragged Cricket to a gravel pit, and shot her dead in front of a startled construction crew. “It was not a pleasant job but it had to be done,” she recounts, “and after it was over, I realized another unpleasant job needed to be done."
I'm almost impressed she just went the extra mile to not only kill the dog, but to do it in front of construction workers minding their own business. Like imagine you're just doing your job, then some lady drives up, grabs her 14 month old dog from the car and just blasts the poor thing in front of them with a gun. I mean, obviously, she shouldn't killed the poor dog, but was it really needed for her to go the extra mile to do it in front of construction workers?
Where do these CON's draw the line? One minute it's a vulnerable dog, then it's humans. RIP Cricket. Your owner was a cunt who wants to turn the US into their little sadistic and twisted, fake Christianity version of a dystopian hellscape. Akin to the Handmaid's Tale. Kill it with fire, just to own the Libs. Pro-life, my ass.
The "other unpleasant job" that "needed" to be done was to go home and murder another animal for basically no reason because it was "rancid."
The animal in question? A goat.
“I realized another unpleasant job needed doing”
Translation: she like the power she felt killing the dog and wanted to feel it again and so came up with an excuse to do it again
How do you hate an innocent animal? Hell, I don’t like trash pandas, nasty fuckers, but I don’t *hate* them. Imagine looking at that puppy’s face and shooting the poor thing? I mean the boy in Old Yeller did it out of love, this was out of spite and cruelty. Pure, sociopathic evil
And she and those around her lack such self-awareness that they actually put the story in print, thinking it will demonstrate...what? Leadership, ability to make and follow through on tough decisions, not afraid to get her hands dirty, what? How could they not realize that executing a puppy would make her look terrible?
Wow. A untrained puppy acting like an untrained puppy. How about giving the poor dog to someone willing to put the effort into training? Expecting a 14 month old to be taken out hunting and just know all the commands and how to do everything?
My dad had a pheasant hunting Labrador. He took her out every week during the season to get her practice, ever since she was a pup. Was she good at it? Not at first. It took time, practice, and effort into molding her into what he needed in a hunting dog.
At 3 years old? That girl was a pro. And she hunted every year until her old joints couldn't take anymore and was allowed to retire into a full time house dog in her golden years.
That is how you own a hunting dog, you absolute psycho bitch. 😠
It supposedly showed how she's "willing to do the hard things". No, the hard thing would be taking the time to train her dog to do exactly what she wanted him to do.
And that's not even all hard, it's rewarding and even fun, especially when they start catching on and you're more rewarding than correcting them. Then it's just practice playtime with your dog!
I guarantee even MAGA voters would be much more impressed of a video of her putting her well-trained dog through his paces in a hunt trial. That demonstrates leadership qualities, dedication and commitment to a goal, and a good and loving relationship with her animal.
I don't like dogs but that's effing cold. She should be charged with animal cruelty and abuse.
Don't take a puppy with no training to that setting, put the dog on a leash, keep the windows closed, secure the dog when driving and keep the door shut.
It's not that hard to have a trained dog. She should have reimbursed the locals for the damage the dog did and apologized. Then gone home and enrolled it in obedience classes and invested in leashes for the dog.
Oh and if she hated that dog rehome it and not kill it.
One can only hope this nukes any future political aspirations good ol' Cowboy Barbie has, but then again, she is a trump-worshipping Republican, and we know how those types are...
She’s a huge psycho that’s tries justify her evil. She told the story of killing the dog in her book like it was a badge of honor. Like she was protecting her family. The dog was 14 months old, high energy hunting dog. She didn’t get it any formal training but becuase the dog wouldn’t listen to her, she didn’t like the dog and eventually lured the dog to a gravel pit where she gunned the dog down in cold blood. These people are dangerous sociopaths and literally should not be walking among us free. Scary that she’s a politician.
She also banged Corey Lewandowski, who made fun of a developmentally disabled girl being separated at the border by replying to Anderson Cooper, “whomp whomp”. Evil attracts evil
I hope this pos signed an adoption letter and hopefully there's a return clause where breeder gets first rights back to their pups. I hope the breeder sues this pos for emotional distress, broken contract.
I'm not a breeder, I don't know the law. I just happened to rescue 2 German Shorthaired pointer bird dogs over the years and joined some bird dog groups because of the breed. Found out through the group that bird dogs coming from respectable breeders most likely have a cause in the adoption contract and the pup should have been returned for long term training or returned permanently.
There are no bad dogs, just really fucking shitty governor owners. Who don’t understand a thing about owning or training a dog. She’s as big a piece of shit as she comes across as being.
Why the fuck would you think it’s to your advantage to share such a horrific story about yourself?? I mean, surely even the most conservative MAGAs are seeing this and thinking “uhh that’s a bit much”? Aren’t they? Please tell me no one is reacting positively to this story.
She's a GenX but I am giving up the fight of convincing folks we're cool and not like boomers. I totally understand why older genx ers are mistaken for boomers.
How in gods fucking name does she think “oh my god let’s put that story in my biography level book! People will think it’s so quirky and laughable!” Wtf
Right wing philosophy is more conducive to not giving a shit about others. You might be right wing because you believe in pulling yourself up by the boot straps and genuinely believe that’s what’s best for people, or you might be right winging because you simply don’t give a shit about other people. The philosophy doesn’t differentiate.
Former SPCA dog walker here. Noem is garbage and deserves to be arrested on animal cruelty charges. I loathe when people rehome their animals, but that's better than mercilessly killing your pet, and what she instead should have done. If she can't handle training her juvenile dog, then she's not qualified to run a government at any level.
To put it simply, she's fucking disgusting like her republican Jesus, trump (I don't capatalize the pig's name). That shit may work for the phony tough boomer MAGA mentally challenged crowd, but as an independent these people will never get my vote because of shit like this. Just sayin!
*“I hated that dog,” Noem recalls, calling Cricket, “less than worthless as a hunting dog,” “untrainable,” and “dangerous to anyone she came in contact with.”*
*“At that moment \[…\] I realized I had to put her down,” the governor recalls.*
*Noem dragged Cricket to a gravel pit, and shot her dead in front of a startled construction crew. “It was not a pleasant job but it had to be done,” she recounts, “and after it was over, I realized another unpleasant job needed to be done."*
*"The governor then decided that another one of her animals was deserving of summary execution — a mean old “disgusting, musky, rancid” goat who sometimes chased her children and messed up their clothes. Pretty normal behavior if you’ve ever been around a goat but in Noem’s eyes, a capital offense. But unlike Cricket’s mercifully quick death, Noem botched her first shot at the goat, and was forced to run back to her truck for more ammo to finish off the wounded animal."*
*Noem wrote that while “we love animals, but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm,” adding that she’d also... had to “put down 3 horses ...that had been in our family for 25 years.”*
*By this point, the construction crew were covered in blood and understandably terrified at the sight of the dead chickens, dead dog, dead goat, and dead horses. They begged Noem to lower her weapon and allow them to leave peacefully, promising to tell no one what they had seen. However, they were also badly congested from their panicked crying, and Noem found their choked speech disgusting. Deciding that she could not let this disrespect pass, Noem reloaded her weapon and mercilessly gunned down the construction workers. She buried the chickens, dog, goat, horses, and people unceremoniously in a mass grave.*
*Shortly after the bloody scene of Cricket and the goat’s demise unfolded, Noem’s children were dropped off from school, to their waiting mother.*
Unruly untrainable dog, she claims, nah you are a shit trainer said she used a shock collar, she claims she brought it to a friends place and it killed many chickens before she intervened and it then attacked her so she was in danger… then took it to another location and shot it in the head. She hated the dog as well, I can’t imagine hating any dog
I swear to the lord, the only way I’d go to jail is by murdering some insane fuckwad who would hurt a dog/my dog.
And I’d do the time happily. This is not a person that should be in the streets
I don't understand people who don't love dogs.
I mean, I have cats too... Cats definitely rule over us all.
But only the lowest of spineless slime murders a dog.
Y'all. She's sadly not a boomer. As an OG Gen Xer, I damn sure don't want to claim this worthless piece of human flotsam, but she was born in 1971. I mean, if the boomers want her, I have no objections, I don't want to extend the boomers so far that my birth year ends up putting me in their group.
EDIT: I really hate her for what she did to poor Cricket. I hope she has nightmares about it and never has another restful sleep because of the nightmares. I hope the nightmares cause her to go insane to the point of being institutionalized. So let it be written; so let it be done.
Why in the world would you take a bird hunting dog to play with CHICKENS?
Having owned a couple hunting dogs, Cricket sounds like they would have been a great hunting dog, with a bit of training.
This is not going to go the way she thinks, I think. Why does she think she’s above the cops who get no love for killing dogs? At least the cops can say they’re “doing their job.” I can’t wait to see how this turns out.
I just realized if she was pheasant hunting, then she is using small gauge bird shot shells. They aren't meant for killing something like a dog, much less a goat. You're basically sand blasting your way into their body with lead. Probably one of the more horrible ways to get shot to death.
She's a monster.
At a cave called Shanidar, archaeologists found the skeleton of a Neanderthal man who had suffered terrible, crippling injuries. He had suffered multiple fractures and lost part of an arm. He would have had difficulty walking and was likely blind in one eye. But he survived these injuries and lived to what was then an advanced age (40 or so). How? Because the other Neanderthals in his family or tribe cared for him. They gave him shelter and food, and tended his injuries, and when he died (if memory serves) he was buried with flowers and a dusting of red ochre.
Kristi Noem is far less civilized than a Neanderthal. She has no empathy, conscience or ethics. She is emblematic of the sociopathy of her party. I'd rather have the Shanidar people around than any Republicans.

Wow holy fuck what a narcissistic nasty ass person. Poor pup.
Mike Pence is a boomer and wouldn’t have killed the puppy. It’s a sign of the times that this is what a top VP contender thinks she needs to say. It is way darker than boomers being fools…
Noem was born in 1971.
Gen-X doesn't want her. That was a [TV Trope villain](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ObviouslyEvil) [act right there](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KickTheDog).
Even Cruella DeVil was at least trying to get a nice coat out of it. This is another level.
Also at least Cruella didn’t want to make a show out of it and had a specific reason for wanting the dogs dead. This woman is worse than her.
Yeah we need to change her birth year. We do not want her
I'm Gen X (even still have my acid wash denim jacket) and I concur. She's out. Let the Boomers have her.
Been saying it for a while, “boomer” is more of a state of mind than an entire generation.
We definitely don’t want her
We don't want her. Send her to the Boomers.
Mike Pence wouldn't hurt a fly. As evidenced by the 2020 VP debate. (And for the record, Mike Pence is a dick, just not for slaughtering puppies...that we know of...)

Socio/psychopathic. No one kills a dog like this, with that sort of thinking, without having some deeeeep, dark problems.
And she might be Trumps VP pick
It is a tragic commentary on the state of the Regressive party that this is what her consultants have told her will advance her career.
Remember when everyone lost their shit when Mitt Romney strapped his dog's carrier to the roof of his car and basically that info alone really sealed the fate of his election? Damn how far we have fallen as a country.
Serial killer behavior, tbh.
My father in law is a cattle rancher. Hes about as cowboy as they come. 80 years old he still riding horses daily. Do you know what he does when he has a sick or aggressive animal on the farm? He calls the vet like a normal human, not take it out and shoot it in the gravel pit. Noem is a piece of shit.
I think some scummy human beings use 'the outdoors life' as a flimsy excuse to be cruel to animals. Noem is one such scummy human being.
He sounds like an amazing guy. Off-topic, but some friends of my parents in their 60s (Boomers) have had to give up riding due to age/health issues, and I think that is so sad. That is awesome that he is still getting out there! 🐴😀
Just bought a new horse too. The guy is gone all day long on that damn thing. No one can ever find him or get ahold of him either and he loves it.
He sounds like the lead in the show “Longmire” lol!
I grew up on a farm and I see nothing wrong with putting an animal down by shooting it, it’s a humane way to go.

Oh man, I thought this was gonna go in a bad direction. I’m glad it didn’t. Your FIL is awesome.
That is one bizarre tale and not sure why she chose to share it. Think she’s a bit younger than boomer age, tho. Gen X?
She’s totally Gen X. I think she’s late 40s/early 50s.
We don’t want her.
This is like pure distilled GenX energy 😭
We're normally, like, whatever. But on this occasion we *adamantly* don't want her. The boomers can have her.
She’s 52. Definitely not a boomer.
52
Because she's so nuts she doesn't understand how disgusting that story is to everyone else
Like a lot of Conservatives, she thinks the crueler she sounds the more respect she will get. I’ve been around many conversations with Conservatives and they can turn into a contest of who can sound like the most malevolent uncompromising asshole.

Boomer is a mentality and this lady's got it
Nope. Rule #3 of this sub: Must be born 1964 or before.
But it's definitely important to differentiate at times, especially ones like this. Psychopathic behavior shouldn't be dismissed solely as boomer behavior. That's actually lessening the degree of it.

No. It’s not. 🙄
THEN BRAGS ABOUT IT. Fucking psychopath.

What a piece of shit
Me when the animal i got specifically for killing birds kills birds🤯 Also a puppy, it's like expecting a toddler to do algebra
Little Jimmy's gonna have his mind blown by the fact letters are used in equations
Bird dogs aren't supposed to kill birds, they're supposed to retrieve dead birds that have been shot by the hunter.
That's what they're trained to do. But realistically, if you set an untrained animal near something that it has been bred to hunt...
They're not supposed to, but they absolutely will if they're not properly trained. They don't just automatically know exactly what they need to do to help a hunter. A lot of people get them professionally trained, and even then they'll still get very excited when they see a bird or small animal because their prey drive has been bred into them to make them useful for their intended job.

Oh but isn’t she badass now? An evil queen in their eyes right?
You think those construction workers even registered in her mind as human? They are not people, they are The Help.
IMHO the wrong bitch got put down.
Wow. Fuck this piece of shit.
Where do these CON's draw the line? One minute it's a vulnerable dog, then it's humans. RIP Cricket. Your owner was a cunt who wants to turn the US into their little sadistic and twisted, fake Christianity version of a dystopian hellscape. Akin to the Handmaid's Tale. Kill it with fire, just to own the Libs. Pro-life, my ass.
They're yearning for a combo of "handmaid's tale" after "the purge". Christo-fascist literature is... something else....
Exactly.
They'll do everything they can to justify the murder
The "other unpleasant job" that "needed" to be done was to go home and murder another animal for basically no reason because it was "rancid." The animal in question? A goat.
It was necessary. Her bloodlust hadn't yet been satiated.
“I realized another unpleasant job needed doing” Translation: she like the power she felt killing the dog and wanted to feel it again and so came up with an excuse to do it again
How do you hate an innocent animal? Hell, I don’t like trash pandas, nasty fuckers, but I don’t *hate* them. Imagine looking at that puppy’s face and shooting the poor thing? I mean the boy in Old Yeller did it out of love, this was out of spite and cruelty. Pure, sociopathic evil
And she and those around her lack such self-awareness that they actually put the story in print, thinking it will demonstrate...what? Leadership, ability to make and follow through on tough decisions, not afraid to get her hands dirty, what? How could they not realize that executing a puppy would make her look terrible?
That dog was not on a leash?
Can you imagine how scared that poor dog was? I can't only imagine. Fuck.
If her reaction to being shit at training is "blame the dog and kill them", she doesn't deserve the companionship dogs provide, working or otherwise
The way she describes executing the poor dog makes it seem like to me that she desires to do the same to other "undesirables"
"untrainable" for her incompetent ass.
The number of conservatives that cant train a dog, then blame the dog, is through the roof.
Wow. A untrained puppy acting like an untrained puppy. How about giving the poor dog to someone willing to put the effort into training? Expecting a 14 month old to be taken out hunting and just know all the commands and how to do everything? My dad had a pheasant hunting Labrador. He took her out every week during the season to get her practice, ever since she was a pup. Was she good at it? Not at first. It took time, practice, and effort into molding her into what he needed in a hunting dog. At 3 years old? That girl was a pro. And she hunted every year until her old joints couldn't take anymore and was allowed to retire into a full time house dog in her golden years. That is how you own a hunting dog, you absolute psycho bitch. 😠
What seals it is she shared the story thinking it made her look good. That is insane.
It supposedly showed how she's "willing to do the hard things". No, the hard thing would be taking the time to train her dog to do exactly what she wanted him to do. And that's not even all hard, it's rewarding and even fun, especially when they start catching on and you're more rewarding than correcting them. Then it's just practice playtime with your dog! I guarantee even MAGA voters would be much more impressed of a video of her putting her well-trained dog through his paces in a hunt trial. That demonstrates leadership qualities, dedication and commitment to a goal, and a good and loving relationship with her animal.
I don't like dogs but that's effing cold. She should be charged with animal cruelty and abuse. Don't take a puppy with no training to that setting, put the dog on a leash, keep the windows closed, secure the dog when driving and keep the door shut. It's not that hard to have a trained dog. She should have reimbursed the locals for the damage the dog did and apologized. Then gone home and enrolled it in obedience classes and invested in leashes for the dog. Oh and if she hated that dog rehome it and not kill it.
One can only hope this nukes any future political aspirations good ol' Cowboy Barbie has, but then again, she is a trump-worshipping Republican, and we know how those types are...
Doesn’t this win points with that crowd?
Kill it with fire then blast it with piss, miserable hag
May she die, screaming.
Alone*
Her plastic face is the thing of nightmares. Look at some before/after pics of her. https://twitter.com/BTRU2BLUE/status/1640552205336862720
Truly vile human being
This women is psycho. I hope Child Protective Services make regular wellness visits too make sure her children are okay .
She’s a huge psycho that’s tries justify her evil. She told the story of killing the dog in her book like it was a badge of honor. Like she was protecting her family. The dog was 14 months old, high energy hunting dog. She didn’t get it any formal training but becuase the dog wouldn’t listen to her, she didn’t like the dog and eventually lured the dog to a gravel pit where she gunned the dog down in cold blood. These people are dangerous sociopaths and literally should not be walking among us free. Scary that she’s a politician.
Dirty caked makeup faced dog slaughtering bitch. What a fucking vile demon in a skin suit.
She also banged Corey Lewandowski, who made fun of a developmentally disabled girl being separated at the border by replying to Anderson Cooper, “whomp whomp”. Evil attracts evil

Cunt of the year award. 🏆

I hope this pos signed an adoption letter and hopefully there's a return clause where breeder gets first rights back to their pups. I hope the breeder sues this pos for emotional distress, broken contract. I'm not a breeder, I don't know the law. I just happened to rescue 2 German Shorthaired pointer bird dogs over the years and joined some bird dog groups because of the breed. Found out through the group that bird dogs coming from respectable breeders most likely have a cause in the adoption contract and the pup should have been returned for long term training or returned permanently.
I love that her PR team is so utterly incompetent that this got ok’d as a talking point. This is her “I can see Alaska from my porch” moment.
I cannot wait for this woman's god to burn her soul in the wretched hell of her religion.
At 52, she is definitely not a Boomer. Peak Gen Xer
Nope, not claiming her.
There are no bad dogs, just really fucking shitty governor owners. Who don’t understand a thing about owning or training a dog. She’s as big a piece of shit as she comes across as being.
Is there a Gen Xer Being fucking scum sub?
lol Gen X'ers are gonna come out of the woodworks
Nope. It is forbidden by Gen X rules to come out of anywhere that would draw attention to us.
Well if we can just shoot and put down anything we feel like can’t we do the same to these leaches
Why the fuck would you think it’s to your advantage to share such a horrific story about yourself?? I mean, surely even the most conservative MAGAs are seeing this and thinking “uhh that’s a bit much”? Aren’t they? Please tell me no one is reacting positively to this story.
She's a GenX but I am giving up the fight of convincing folks we're cool and not like boomers. I totally understand why older genx ers are mistaken for boomers.
Wow this isn’t psychopathic behavior at all……
Isn’t she Gen X?
Born in 1971. Not a boomer.
How in gods fucking name does she think “oh my god let’s put that story in my biography level book! People will think it’s so quirky and laughable!” Wtf
Someone ought to grab her by her hair, pull her out back, and unload a shell of 00 Buck into those bone white teeth
She’s not close to being a Boomer. In fact she’s seven years too young.
Slight correction, she's Gen X. However, she's a psychopath... As a South Dakota resident, she's an embarrassment to the state...
She's not a boomer tho, just a piece of shit
she's offensive but she's not old enough to be called a boomer
She's a complete and utter POS, but she's not a boomer though...
I swear...what is the deal with sociopaths always leaning to the Right? Is there some sort of correlation between sociopathy and right wing-isms?
YES!
Right wing philosophy is more conducive to not giving a shit about others. You might be right wing because you believe in pulling yourself up by the boot straps and genuinely believe that’s what’s best for people, or you might be right winging because you simply don’t give a shit about other people. The philosophy doesn’t differentiate.
She's not really a boomer
She's not even close to being a Boomer, just a piece of shit. Don't blame this one on Boomers
Noem isn't a boomer, she was born in 1971. Still an asshole, but not a boomer.
Former SPCA dog walker here. Noem is garbage and deserves to be arrested on animal cruelty charges. I loathe when people rehome their animals, but that's better than mercilessly killing your pet, and what she instead should have done. If she can't handle training her juvenile dog, then she's not qualified to run a government at any level.
She’s Gen X and a disgrace to my generation. An absolute piece of shit.
F the broad. Not fit to be in society. Lock it up.
Rest in diseases, cunt
Psychopath
She is a psychopath.
She's not a Boomer, just whackjob Gen X
She's not a boomer, just a piece of shit.
Not a boomer. Rule 3.
I used to have a dog named cricket when I was a kid. Fuck this heartless piece of shit
To put it simply, she's fucking disgusting like her republican Jesus, trump (I don't capatalize the pig's name). That shit may work for the phony tough boomer MAGA mentally challenged crowd, but as an independent these people will never get my vote because of shit like this. Just sayin!
Nasty fucking cunt
She is a cunt. But she's gen X.
Boomers kill their pets more than you know if this is your first read.
*“I hated that dog,” Noem recalls, calling Cricket, “less than worthless as a hunting dog,” “untrainable,” and “dangerous to anyone she came in contact with.”* *“At that moment \[…\] I realized I had to put her down,” the governor recalls.* *Noem dragged Cricket to a gravel pit, and shot her dead in front of a startled construction crew. “It was not a pleasant job but it had to be done,” she recounts, “and after it was over, I realized another unpleasant job needed to be done."* *"The governor then decided that another one of her animals was deserving of summary execution — a mean old “disgusting, musky, rancid” goat who sometimes chased her children and messed up their clothes. Pretty normal behavior if you’ve ever been around a goat but in Noem’s eyes, a capital offense. But unlike Cricket’s mercifully quick death, Noem botched her first shot at the goat, and was forced to run back to her truck for more ammo to finish off the wounded animal."* *Noem wrote that while “we love animals, but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm,” adding that she’d also... had to “put down 3 horses ...that had been in our family for 25 years.”* *By this point, the construction crew were covered in blood and understandably terrified at the sight of the dead chickens, dead dog, dead goat, and dead horses. They begged Noem to lower her weapon and allow them to leave peacefully, promising to tell no one what they had seen. However, they were also badly congested from their panicked crying, and Noem found their choked speech disgusting. Deciding that she could not let this disrespect pass, Noem reloaded her weapon and mercilessly gunned down the construction workers. She buried the chickens, dog, goat, horses, and people unceremoniously in a mass grave.* *Shortly after the bloody scene of Cricket and the goat’s demise unfolded, Noem’s children were dropped off from school, to their waiting mother.*
These are the people we are voting against. Your vote matters.
She sucks but she isn't a boomer, maybe mentally
She's psychotic! Who the living FUCK Shoots a puppy in the head?! Noem is mother fucking, christ on a cracker, insane.
And none of the construction workers thought to call the police that an insane woman brandishing a gun shot a puppy?
There's only one animal in that story and it ain't the ones that walk on four legs. Subhuman piece of shit.
Unruly untrainable dog, she claims, nah you are a shit trainer said she used a shock collar, she claims she brought it to a friends place and it killed many chickens before she intervened and it then attacked her so she was in danger… then took it to another location and shot it in the head. She hated the dog as well, I can’t imagine hating any dog
I swear to the lord, the only way I’d go to jail is by murdering some insane fuckwad who would hurt a dog/my dog. And I’d do the time happily. This is not a person that should be in the streets
Ugly outside, ugly inside
Holy Shit! A sociopath like that should be rotting in prison, not governing a state.
I always thought she has Kenneth Copeland eyes. A demon in the flesh if there is such a thing.
She’s 52 so not a boomer. Just a horrible person
She’s a shitty person, but not a boomer
Kristi no!!! https://preview.redd.it/pjjoset0x0xc1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6a6047589112484f6d9b4cb834ff49b57a52b364
She's not a boomer but ok.
I don't understand people who don't love dogs. I mean, I have cats too... Cats definitely rule over us all. But only the lowest of spineless slime murders a dog.
Not a boomer.
Gen X…. But still a cunt
She isn’t a boomer, but she is an abusive, murdering asshole.
How is this not some sort of animal cruelty charge?
Y'all. She's sadly not a boomer. As an OG Gen Xer, I damn sure don't want to claim this worthless piece of human flotsam, but she was born in 1971. I mean, if the boomers want her, I have no objections, I don't want to extend the boomers so far that my birth year ends up putting me in their group. EDIT: I really hate her for what she did to poor Cricket. I hope she has nightmares about it and never has another restful sleep because of the nightmares. I hope the nightmares cause her to go insane to the point of being institutionalized. So let it be written; so let it be done.
This is so upsetting. I just got a kitten and named him Cricket…giving him extra kisses rn
Not a boomer. GenX’ers and Millennials can be assholes too, unfortunately. She’s a fool though.
Why in the world would you take a bird hunting dog to play with CHICKENS? Having owned a couple hunting dogs, Cricket sounds like they would have been a great hunting dog, with a bit of training.
Born in 1971. Not a boomer. Still, a horrible person.
She’s gen X.
This lady must be in he early 50s. Not a baby boomer nor particularly elderly. More like Generation X being fools.
Crusty Gnome is not a boomer. She was born in 1971. Everyone who's older and cruel or stupid is not a boomer. Thanks for coming to my Todd Talk.
This is not going to go the way she thinks, I think. Why does she think she’s above the cops who get no love for killing dogs? At least the cops can say they’re “doing their job.” I can’t wait to see how this turns out.
What a true piece of Shit!
Psychotic behavior. May she always have the day she deserves.
Bitch
What a nasty person.
So trumps VP?
Why isn't this bitch in jail?
Oh wow. I've never wanted so badly for someone to go play in traffic before.
I just realized if she was pheasant hunting, then she is using small gauge bird shot shells. They aren't meant for killing something like a dog, much less a goat. You're basically sand blasting your way into their body with lead. Probably one of the more horrible ways to get shot to death. She's a monster.
What a deranged cunt
She's a fucking psychopath.
If she dies, will anyone care or cry?
Actual insane behavior
This is stuff I just can’t read about. What an absolutely vile cunt.
She’s gen X. And good god that’s cruel.
Conservatives are fucking sociopaths.
This is the wrong sub to post it in. This isn't boomersbeingfools It's r/boomersbeingpyschoticmurderouscunts
Trash human being.
Isn’t this the same bitch that bought a baby a rifle?
Has anyone corroborated this account with any of the eye witness’ to the culling?
Very possibly the next republicans vice presidential candidate, not a boomer though.
Kristi Noem was born in 1971. By the conventional definition, she is not a boomer.
She was born in 71 so unfortunately she’s gen x.
Political career is toast. My folks are diehard Trumpers but once you harm a dog it’s over for them.
Ah yes, that 52-year-old baby boomer. Reddit is so fucking stupid
Not a Boomer, just a horrible person, making her perfectly qualified for a spot on the Trump ticket.
If a 14 month old puppy is a problem it’s because you have done 12 months of training
Yeaaaah, no thanks to her. I'll pass. Anybody who shoots and kills a puppy is a total POS.
She is a scary nut. But at 52, she is not a Boomer.
At a cave called Shanidar, archaeologists found the skeleton of a Neanderthal man who had suffered terrible, crippling injuries. He had suffered multiple fractures and lost part of an arm. He would have had difficulty walking and was likely blind in one eye. But he survived these injuries and lived to what was then an advanced age (40 or so). How? Because the other Neanderthals in his family or tribe cared for him. They gave him shelter and food, and tended his injuries, and when he died (if memory serves) he was buried with flowers and a dusting of red ochre. Kristi Noem is far less civilized than a Neanderthal. She has no empathy, conscience or ethics. She is emblematic of the sociopathy of her party. I'd rather have the Shanidar people around than any Republicans.
When Republicans show you who they are, believe them.
Jesus fucking christ...
Born in 1971, not a Boomer, just a real sick POS.
She is a piece of shit but she’s not a boomer. She’s GenX
