    And she’s just as soulless as well, literally a puppy killer. There really is nothing behind those empty, crazy eyes but malice.

      Seriously, she’s got serious mental issues. Next time you see a dog being “bad” like barking at you or whatever. Imagine shooting it. Bet there’s no way you could. I know I couldn’t and if I knew anyone that did, I’d keep a wide berth from them because they ain’t right in the head.

        I mean, what’s worst is it’s an attempt to come off as making “tough” country decisions.

        Like, I get it, if you’re on a rural farm and your dog is literally attacking people and is dangerous to animals and people, that might be a reason to put it down. However, even in rural areas there are vets who can do it in a humane way. The world of Old Yeller is a world away and there are simply better and more humane solutions. Some animals can be extremely dangerous to those around them, if they’ve been mistreated while being raised. However, that’s just it, it speaks badly to the person who raised them, and in Noem’s case, the dog just misbehaved, it wasn’t outright dangerous. So she just comes off as a complete psychopath looking for a reason to kill a dog, not a simple country farmer doing something they didn’t necessarily want to do but felt the need to do to keep their livestock and family safe from a dangerous dog.

          This wasn’t written for us though, my right wing fil used to brag about doing this shit for 3 reasons

          1. It makes them seem like country bumpkins, there is some weird contest in the south where people try to compete for who is the most “country”
          2. They brag about how much money they saved not going to that lefty vet that’s just trying to pilfer their pockets
          3. It reminds them of the way their parents/grandparents used to handle stuff when there weren’t better options available.

          So she brags about this to seem more “authentic” country to magats, and they eat it up.
