South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem makes VERY presidential inauguration speech blasting Biden she squares up against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for 2024 White House bid

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem appears to be showing off her bona fides ahead of what's expected to be a competitive 2024 Republican presidential primary as she gave her second inaugural speech Saturday.

Noem, who won re-election by 26 points, spoke ahead of the speech, which included a reference to David Letterman's famous 'Top 10' lists and discussed how her leadership can offer lessons for the rest of the country.

She was asked Saturday if she wasn't ruling out a 2024 run and responded that 'that's fair to say. But there are a lot of people out there talking about running for president. I also know that politics changes quickly and things change on a dime on who's going to run and who's not going to run. I want the best person.'

The Republicans would be wise to put up a large field of candidates for 2024 and to do very thorough vetting. If they don’t then it increases the likelihood of Biden being re-elected.

Governor Noem is a committed “ally” of the T in LGBT.

So's Trump. He makes no distinction between them and the homosexuals. They're all the same to him and that really bothers me. Love his policies on the economy, jobs, etc.. and yet his views here really disturb me.

To get him out of the HOR. The results of the little rebellion in the last few days indicate that he intends to hold onto Nancy’s gavel as long as he draws breath.

What’s-in-a-Noem whiffed twice on transoid stuff. She’s disqualified.

Makes sense — to get him out of the HOR.

The little bugger is tenacious, I’ll give him that.

Caving to the NCAA and others over what she tried to make her main issue of protecting girls abs women make her a non starter

“Love his policies on the economy, jobs, etc.. and yet his views here really disturb me.”

And abortion. He thinks it’s OK in cases of rape and incest. That’s disturbing.

“Governor Noem is a committed “ally” of the T in LGBT. The Chamber of Commerce owns her.”

Dude, she has the looks. Why should I care about how she’s likely to run the country?

"Her chief of staff was a Chamber of crony capitalism conman."

You wouldn't happen to be talking about Matt McCaulley?

I, Governor Noem, pledge to continue representing my constituents in that perverted Medical Group in Sioux Falls, alongside my GOPee colleagues in the legisl00ture, so that we may have a glorious red state rainbow of numerous human oddities in our state.

“Were they citizens of Kristi’s state, she would have allowed men, confused about their sex, to shower with and change clothes with my young ladies.”

“confused about their sex” - not sure I’d give them the benefit of the doubt here. More like men who CLAIM to be ‘confused’.

Agree, as I noted a while ago, she had a bill dropped right on her lap and all she had to do was sign it, and she’d be a top-tier candidate right not, instead of being confined to the John Bolton, Jeb Bush, wing of the Primary field.

But I guess it was just to much to expect her NOT to support the people who voted for her.

Holy cow! And I thought *I* look goofy in a posed picture.

Alien ears. Or maybe he habitually had his ears gripped tightly by someone from behind for some reason...

Well, that photo does show why she struggles so much on trying to get it right with her base when it comes to social issues.

...totally agree! Trust me, I didn’t say what I really, really would like to say!

I’m real disappointed in Noem. This country could use a real Margaret Thatcher. For awhile there, I thought she might be it.

If Mister Smith really does go to Washington, don’t they usually just kill those guys off early on?

No, they impeach him twice, kick him off social media, raid his house and attempt to imprison him.
