Ethics board: SD Gov. Noem may have ‘engaged in misconduct’

Both complaints were brought by then-Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg, a Republican who has since been impeached and removed from office over his conduct in an unrelated car crash in which he killed a pedestrian. …

Too many ways for un-elected individuals to usurp the will of the people.

" . . . when she intervened in her daughter’s application for a real estate appraiser license."

What did she do, write a letter of recommendation? Help her fill out the application form? Some other ordinary thing a parent might do?

Oh. Real Estate. There for a minute I was thinking it would be some innocent “too much fun” or something like that.

Stupid politicians. They know they need to be up and up on all they do. But they go and do such idiotic things. She had no business getting involved with her daughters real estate testing. Dummy!

Republicans have to be purer than Ivory soap, while Democrats can skim off “10% for The Big Guy” of billion dollar deals and the press will bury it for them.

It’s not as though she used her position to bribe foreign official, or launder 10% for herself, or intervene for a Crack addicted child selling out his/her country to rogue terrorists, or using corrupt gov. Agencies to target political opponents, all of which is politically protected by this communist government in charge. But, I digress
