Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So most of us remember Noem's main claim to fame being that she executed her new puppy, after... not training it properly, and being annoyed by it.
Well I'd like to remind folks she was behind this ad campaign:
Nope, not a joke, not a photoshop, not AI hallucination... this was her baby, and it was real.
Finally... I present to you, ~~Kristi~~ Karen Noem:
Yeah thats from ~7 years ago, when she still had a vaguely human face.
If memory serves... she is still, herself, personally banned from setting foot on any Indian/Native Tribal land in the entire state of South Dakota, basically for consistently being a racist c*nt, consistently disrespecting any and all tribal attempts to keep their land clean from industrial waste.
EDIT:
(I've been told by a local from Rapid City that she also executed a goat in a similar violent outburst as with her new puppy... but I have not been able to verify this myself, with a citable print source.
Local told me that its not uncommon to basically just rent a or some goats as basically au naturale lawnmowers, which does make sense to me...
... but she apparently got annoyed by the bleating, and one day just shot someone else's goat, that she was renting, to be a lawnmower on her ranch.
... Yeah.)
The goat story was in her book, as an extension of the puppy story. Once she shot the puppy in the face, she was all wound up on bloodlust, and decided to shoot the goat, too, because she thought it was disgusting.
MAGAs think that's funny.
... wow.
Ok.
I thought some local may have been passing along a tall tale, fucking, nope, there is a print source, and it is Noem herself.
... yeah I haven't read her book.
This woman is a portrait of a violent antisocial psychopath.
Like, if you were poor, and you did this kind of shit, you'd get either imprisoned or institutionalized.
She also clearly has body dysmorphia, as demonstrated by her ... can we just call it 'Fox News Face' - affirming care?
thank you!
tips patriotism hat highly ironically
Hey! Patriotism today means fighting for a sFer America. You ARE being patriotic by informing us of the failures of the state
Yeah I got my issues with America, but I'm a true believer in the enlightenment and I love that this country is philosophically grounded in enlightenment ideas and the idea that the state's ability to project force onto it's citizens should be limited. I know about our contradictions, and I'm disappointed as all hell in what we've done with ourselves in the past decades (and longer), but part of me loves this country and believes it could be better.
But first and foremost I'm an international anti fascist. I don't care that I love my home, it's fallen to the fascists and is attacking the world, I can love it again once it's been stopped.
