Cricket deserved better.




Every now and then a member of the MAGA crowd shows you who they really are. Take the governor of South Dakota, Kristi Noem, for instance. It recently came to light, by way of her hastily penned book, that she murdered her family puppy, Cricket.  She did it because she could not control its behavior, and in her own words, she "hated" the dog. 

I am sure she thought that this revelation would bring her closer to the rest of her MAGA friends and put her in the driver's seat to be Donald Trump's VP pick, but it backfired. She has been living in a MAGA bubble where being cruel to poor and underrepresented people was fashionable, so she thought that this mentality would translate to animals as well.   

Sadly for her, and her political career,  her calculation was way off. She forgot how much American's love their pets, especially their dogs. (I could have told her. I wrote about this very thing years ago.) Now,  Americans are united in their outrage at her actions. I mean seriously, who murders a puppy?! She tried to rationalize away her actions by saying that she lived on a farm, and that farmers have to make  tough choices between life and death when it comes to their animals. But no one is buying it. We are talking about a puppy for crying out loud. The thing is, the man she has been auditioning for would have probably done the same thing. Cruelty to animals is a known trait of sociopaths. Donald Trump hates dogs, and Kristi Noem knows that.  This little blurb from her book was to  him and the rest of the MAGA base. These folks, after all, believe that cruelty is sexy. The cruelty is the point with them. 

This, though, was a bridge too far. And Noem knows it. Her political career is over. If Trump wins he might reward her with a  position in his cabinet, but that's the best she can hope for. 

Americans will forgive her cheating on her husband with a known scumbag, but not killing a puppy.  

RIP Cricket.

  1. When I was a kid, we had German Short Haired pointers. They were great dogs. I don't remember having to train them to hunt pheasants, but I was just a kid and perhaps I missed that part. Both of them were female, and both of them managed to sneak off of our property and get pregnant. The puppies were dark brown and not the sort of dogs that you can hunt pheasants with. One of the two bird dogs, though, got really aggressive after she had her puppies, and both of them would go after chickens. My dad, because the aggressive dog was the better pheasant hunter of the two, sold her to someone with the wherewithal to deal with her on more land than we had, and got the other dog spayed. We never had any more problems with that dog, and she moved to town with us when we moved, and became a beloved family pet who spent a lot of time sleeping on the hearth.
    If you have bird dogs, you don't let them around chickens. That is common knowledge. Any animal that you own, you have to know how to deal with their behavior and tendencies before you even get them. Like you have to know how to drive before you buy a car. Animals aren't toys or accoutrements for you to show off to your friends. They have their own lives to live and if you are responsible for them, it's on you to facilitate that life. And yes, I know about livestock. At the same time we had those bird dogs, we raised our own cattle and pigs.
    As I have already said, Kristi Noem shooting her dog for being inconvenient and bragging about it in a book is pretty much peak republican.

    In the wake of Roe v Wade being overturned, the Arizona Supreme Court revived an 1864 law that essentially totally bans abortion.

    Now it looks like Arizona Democrats (with the help of a handful of Republicans) are going to repeal it.

    The Christian fundies took another “L” today.

    I should add that after this law is repealed, Arizona will still have a more lenient, but still objectionable, 15-week abortion ban on the books. So the fight is not over.

    “Scotus just might give drumpf the ability to toss Biden and others in to a ditch and shoot them in the head because he doesn't like them.”

    I don’t think they’re going to do this, but what it does seem likely they are going to do is to pretend to deliberate over the merits of Trump’s immunity claims, as if they were legitimate and not utter nonsense. They’re going to send them back to a lower court for more consideration, and then they’ll come back to the Supreme Court again, thereby allowing judges to waste all kinds of time scratching their chins and wondering whether presidents are actually kings.

    So, basically, they’re giving Trump exactly what he wanted from these immunity claims: a massive delay of his trial.

    “My theory for why she self-published this story is that the actual version of events is even worse than this.”

    Maybe the opposite is true. She could have invented the whole episode for “cruelty points,” hoping Trump would name her his VP nominee if she bragged about being the biggest bitch in the universe. At this point, I’m not sure she has ever even owned a dog.

    She’s already admitted she lied in the book about meeting Kim Jong Un, although she said she was just mistaken, which makes no sense. I’m not sure how you could think you met a weird dictator with a weird haircut, but actually didn’t. That’s not really something you could be confused about. He’s pretty memorable.

    She also said she turned down an invitation to meet French President Macron, but refused because, according to her, he is “pro-Hamas.” Macron’s people say there was no invitation and who is this Noem person anyway?

    Her memoir should be titled “Pants On Fire.”

  21. I just got another phone call from the Police Officers' Defense Alliance PAC (this was number five) asking me for money. Last time I got mad and started yelling at them that, no, I will never, ever, ever, EVER give any money to protect police.
    This time I ended up having to do the same thing, but before I did, I told the guy "Listen, I'm a 63 year old disabled guy supporting two adult humans and a cat on SSDI in fucking California, so no, I don't have any money to give anyone for anything, but if I found out that giving someone $100 out of my food budget would kill qualified immunity everywhere and forever, I would go hungry for a week, do we understand one another?" He said "That's OK, most of our donations are smaller than that" and I started yelling at him to please never call me again.

Supposedly just over half are of the 2,000 pound variety and the rest are 500 pound bombs. If we indeed shipped them 2,000 of the bunker busters that alone would equal an incredible 4 million pounds of bombs. With 1,500 500 pound bombs, that's an additional 750,000 pounds.

    I guess Bibi was really looking forward to levelling Rafah.

    Will these kids wake up to the fact that conservatives and republicans are on the same page as Bibi? Mike Johnson is leading the charge. Calls for impeachment abound.

She’d examined curriculum related to social-emotional learning, which has come under attack by Christian conservatives who say it encourages children to question gender roles and prioritizes feelings over biblical teachings.

    The jury didn’t buy it, either, which is how Perry got convicted of murder.

  83. So Rudy bragged online about his 80th birthday party, and guess who showed up?
    Someone to serve him process for the Arizona fake electors case, that's who.
    One can only imagine the green bricks with which his party guests Stone and Bannon soiled their underthings...

    Maybe, but as Iran's helicopters tend to be pre-1979 revolution Bells that sanctions have blocked the import of spare parts for, perhaps not.

    International Criminal Court prosecutors are seeking arrest warrants for Netanyahu and the head of Hamas, for war crimes.

    Honestly, there’s not much doubt that they have indeed both committed war crimes, but it’s extremely doubtful such warrants could ever be carried out. Israel is not a signatory to the ICC and does not recognize its authority, so all hell would break lose if anyone ever attempted to arrest Netanyahu. As for the head of Hamas, Israel will probably assassinate him at some point. He’ll be dead long before he sees the inside of a courtroom.

    Trump Media lost $327 million in the first quarter of this year alone, because it is a terrible, garbage company, but the stock value hasn’t dropped much.

    That’s probably because the people who bought the stock are either MAGA morons who somehow still don’t realize Trump isn’t the business genius he portrays himself as. Or else they’re sleazy plutocrats who only bought the stock as a bribe to Trump to be repaid to them in the form of elitist economic policies should he become president again, and not as an actual investment.

    “Fani Willis and judge McAfee both won their primaries in Georgia, so the trial there is all good until at least November.”

    It might have been better if she had lost to another Democrat. At least then the case against Trump and his henchmen would likely continue.

    With Ms. Willis remaining as DA, I’m afraid Republicans will find a way to use her romantic relationship with a subordinate to get the election obstruction case transferred out of her hands and over to the office of a Republican-friendly prosecutor, who will then sabotage the case.

    It is, of course, bullshit that Fani Willis’ romantic relationship did in any way undermine the defendants’ right to a fair trial. But that doesn’t mean this ploy won’t work.

    It's hard to believe that only thirty years ago, Texas had a Democratic governor. Today, Abbott, like his fellow extremist governor in Florida, is turning his state into a right-wing shithole.

    Most recently, he's appointed a hack doctor/anti-abortion activist, Dr Ingrid Skop, to a state commission on maternal mortality. The clear intention is that when Texas' abortion restrictions start killing large numbers of pregnant women, this Christian fundie nutjob can hide the evidence.

    Texas doctor who said nine-year-olds can safely give birth appointed to maternal mortality committee
