    You know, the headline saying Kristi Noem “canceled hits” on Fox and CNN just sounds like the called off an assassin from taking the networks out to the gravel pit

    A summary of the frankly mentally insane interviews Kristi Noem tried to have before she tried to run for cover, even on MAGA friendly networks, she was completely picked apart by everyone, including Newsmax and Fox's Jess Watters, for a section of her book not about the dog or the goat, but claiming to have met Kim Jong Un. She tried to give the damage control answer that "when it was brought to my attention…" she removed the reference in her book. But the problem is nobody bought that because she already recorded the audiobook version, AND she posted promotionals of her doing so to her Instagram account, and everyone and their mother was piqued into asking how the hell it did not come to her attention if she recorded an audiobook for every word in the book. Her responses were very '.exe not working.'

    Just got wrecked:

    I have to think, with all the well compensated consultants associated with their campaigns, these candidates are being ripped off. "Brain Worms" and "Shooting Puppies & Lying about meeting world leaders" seems like bad things to go out in the press.

    Let alone endless contempt of court charges. Oh, TFG appears to have ditched the graduation he whined about for so long: https://newrepublic.com/post/181363/trump-son-barron-graduation-fundraiser

    Family is so important to the GQP, that's why he's on trial for hiding money he paid to have affairs, and didn't go to his son's graduation.

    Oh Donnie was never going to go to that. Not unless he could give the commencement speech, which he could then turn into a shameless mini-Trump rally. Also Donnie doesn’t ever seem to be that interested in parenting in general.

    I kind of wonder where in the country Barron’s high school is located. If it’s not in the middle of MAGA-ghanistan then the school board is properly incredibly relieved that Donnie isn’t coming to down with his circus.

    (Edit: Appears to be a Florida school…so a bit of a coin toss. They might have wanted Donnie there, or not…)

    She kept saying that she wasn't going to discuss her conversations with World Leaders, completely ignoring the fact that the question being asked was always "Did you meet Kim Jong Un?" Not about the details of the conversation itself, but questioning whether or not the conversation even took place.

    She's on a bit of a spree now. First the dog, then the goat, and now her chances of being Trump's VP…. all taken out by Noem shooting them in the head.

    Alas it does rule out the possibility of Trump meeting with an unfortunate 'hunting accident' while visiting VP pick Noem.

    Is the Trump dynasty trying to follow in the steps of the glorious leadership of the Kim dynasty? And I'm not just referring to them being overweight.

    It just shows how far down the hole Tiny's Republican party has gone. In the 'old' GOP, Noem wouldn't make county commissioner after the affair with that pr1ck Lewandowski. Now you have to be an embarrassment level of 100 on the Santos scale to get shuffled off. And I'm not convinced there's no way back for her either. I mean, she has met many world leaders over 30 years in public office after all.

    I’d be surprised if she had met any world leaders beyond maybe being in the same room as a couple of them during a larger event.

    For sure, in the old GOP, Noem would be toast long ago, but in the Trump-tastic “New Improved GOP sponsored by Truth Social” her car crash of lies is pretty on brand from them. I still feel that she’s the ideal MAGA VP, and that Donnie might still pick her. I kind of really hope he does too, because she would be electoral poison to the ticket.

    Think positive. We might have a new tallest president for the history books.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,923 ✭✭✭randd1


    Electoral poison? Not a chance. This is the Trump cult/party you're talking about, there's not a bar too low that a speech from the dear leader on her behalf wouldn't raise her to sainthood amongst the faithful.

    All Trump would have to say is (as much as you can try and attempt to speak like Trump)..

    "the dog and the goat, you see this, they're going on about a dog and a goat, the fascist Democrats on their fake news, talking about a dog and a goat, to try and deflect from the crimes of the Biden crime family that are tearing this once great nation down. They're talking about a dog and a goat, 'cause it's all they've got. But they were vicious animals, and she did, Kirsti did, I love Kirsti Noem you know that, I think she's fabulous, she knows how the election was stolen, stolen from your favourite and true President, and she's just a great American, and she… she… she did the responsible thing, you know, she saw a vicious animal and.. and she said "no, I'm not having this" and she took it out. Got her gun and took it out. She took the responsibility, something the Democrats who are trying to destroy this country, she eh… she took the responsibility to protect her family and, and her community, her loved ones, from a vicious animal, she did the responsible thing, like any real American would. And the fake news is trying to mkae her out to be evil, but I just think, you know, she saw a threat, and she took action, you know. And the same with the goat, the same with the goat, it was old, it was in pain, and she saw it was in pain, tremendous pain, and she didn't want to see the animal suffer, and she did the responsible thing and she put the poor thing out it's misery, you know. It was responsibility, it's not an easy thing to do, but sometimes you gotta make hard choices, and she was brave, like a true American, and made the brave choice, and she used her second amendment rights, her rights, to protect her family, you know, like it says in the constitution, our wonderful constitution, that gives us so much freedom, so much freedom. I love the constitution. But the marxist, liberal, communist, Democrat-run fake news pushed the story that Kirsti, I love Kirsti, she's a great American, they tried to make her out that she was some crazy person, but that's what they do, they try to divide us using fake news, and lies, and corrupt judges and DA's wanting to tear this great nation down. But we, eh, we take, we take responsibility, and that means ending threats, and that's what Kirsti did, and I love her for it. I love her for it, she saw a threat and she suffering, and she took responsibility to put a stop to it like a true American. It's all fake news, it's fake news, you know, the liberal, lame-stream media, fake news taking something wonderful, like responsibility to your family and your community, and making it out be evil. They hate our country, they hate being a ture American, like Kirsti, so don't believe the lame-stream media, they're lying".

    You could practically hear the brains switch from "dog killer" to "American hero standing up for our rights" in the MAGA faithful in the minute or two it would take him to say that crap.

    And the MAGAts will lap it all up, Trump says it so it must be so, and Fox and Newsmaxx and others run with the narrative as order by Trump, and Noem is suddenly a shoe-in for VP because she "took responsibility" and the woke media is out to destroy her.

    That's the way it is now in the Trump party. The only political poison is what Trump doesn't like. IF trump likes it, are argues in favour of it, MAGA will love it regardless.

    Kirsti Noem could say she loves to rape children, then burn them alive and then feed them dogs, and she would still be fully backed by the MAGA faithful if Trump gave her the thumbs up. As of now, in the GOP, what Trump thinks is their truth and reality.

    They're a broken people.

    And you can bet the meeting won't be costing Donald 130k +, long term.

    All the kids have gotten the same gig (except Ivanka) along with Kimberley Guilfoyle and Tiffanys new Husband.

    So Lara is running the RNC and now all his kids are "delegates" .

    Nepotism doesn't even begin to cover it.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,923 ✭✭✭randd1


    But Hunters emails!!!

    Those meeting with your man from North Korea gave him a few ideas. That's not even nepotism, that's full on Absolute Monarchy. Nothing but Trump's in positions of power. If he wins, wait until you see Don Jnr announced as Secretary of State and Eric announced as new Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

    trumps naked cronyism with the oil industry: ‘give me a billion dollars and I’ll make the regulations go away’

    Oh for sure, and you’ve nailed the likely Trump/MAGA reaction too.

    My meaning with “electoral poison” is to non-MAGA folk in the middle who might have been convinced with a more moderate GOP person on the ticket with Trump. Having someone equally as bad as him would rob the Trump-train of that opportunity. Pence was brought in for this very reason last time.

    If Trump goes for someone who’s clearly a MAGA loon, I suspect it will work against him in the election.



  • Registered Users Posts: 82,441 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    This is a good point. I was thinking Tim Scott was really high on the shortlist for his stunt in the Sunday interview, but thinking about your argument, that makes the whole ticket toxic waste to the middle - a vice president who is basically pledging when it’s his turn to certify an election, he’s going to ignore the real electors and just accept fraudulent electors that ensure a Republican retains the office, to hell with democracy. A Vice President who would also in no circumstances use 25A even if Trump went full murder on 5th Avenue or completely neurosyphilis

    Jordan Klepper nailed it as far the GOP is concerned.

    “I will say, for the past few years, I have been wondering how far is too far for the right-wing MAGA crowd. And now we know: It’s shooting your dog in a gravel pit. That is not acceptable,” Klepper said, before adding an important caveat: “Until Trump does it. Then every Republican has to shoot their dog just to stay in the party.”

    They are all piling in on Noem right now , but all it would take is a single word from the God-King and everything would change in an instant.

    I really hope the judge asks Trump how Barron's graduation was after he fails to show up.

    Trump attorney Susan Necheles is asking Stormy Daniels about her history making porn movies.

    “You have a lot of experience of making phony stories about sex appear to be real,” Necheles says.

    “Wow,” Daniels says with a pause. “That’s not how I would put it. The sex in the films is very much real just like what happened to me in that room.”

    They’re sparring over whether Daniels made up the story with Donald Trump.

    “If that story was untrue, I would have written it to be a lot better,” Daniels said. [drawing laughter from the courtroom]

    Doesn't this raise the point that Kamala Harris can declare Biden president in November?
