The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward.” In it, she revealed that she once killed her 14-month-old wirehair pointer, Cricket, when she was not displaying the signs of an ideal hunting dog.

The governor wrote that the dog was “untrainable,” according to excerpts first reported by The Guardian. Noem later argued that those anecdotes were meant to show how capable she is of doing some of the more gruesome jobs in life when necessary.

We forgive you Kristi as long as you treat violent gang and cartel members as you did your untrainable doggie.

Now this one I totally did not see coming

[Enterprise]

I didn’t either.

And hopefully jihadis get the same treatment her dog got.

[Nervous Tick]

Hers was a violent dog that needed to be put down.

There are a number of parallels in today’s America.

Go Kristi!

[Enterprise]

Ditto!

[Sarah Barracuda]

She can do a much better job than mayorkis that’s for damn sure

"There are a number of parallels in today’s America."

Indeed!

I hope she exposes every dirty thing he did to get illegals across the border by any means.

What does this do to Thune’s leader race? Would he be interested in SD Gov now instead of Majority Leader?

[Tennessee Nana]

So which Republican takes the job Mayorkas has now ???

[11th_VA]

Maybe the ‘dog story’ was a plus on her resume … she needs to be tough …

[Enterprise]

Just a shoot from the hip guess here. He will stay in the Senate.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Trying to figure out why she’s qualified for that job. Not exactly like her state has been a hotbed of terrorist activity or anything....

"she needs to be tough"

Like a Pit bull

What I don’t understand is why Trump is making all these appointments so far in advance. Why telegraph your moves to the enemy such that they can prepare a defense? Nothing has been restructured yet either. Why take such a high-powered job when it might (should) disappear?

[joshua c]

he will get filthy rich as majority leader

sd governor is a step down

How many of these leaks have proven wrong?

This is consistent with what I thought might happen in transition. Lots of floated names of swamp people, meaning people who have a long history in politics, these names getting floated to reassure the swamp that he is being co-opted. And then after inauguration, win anything they might have done to stop it is too late, the actual announcements might get made.

[Enterprise]

Actually, that’s kind of the way I look at it.

Even my dog can do better job than Mayorkis.
