So typical of the gotcha questioning that the leftist radicals at Fox Business are famous for. smh

trainwreck […] torpedoes […] nosedive […] wheels completely flew off
OK, so I’m getting the impression that Noem is not a safe person to travel with by any kind of conveyance.

At least if politics doesn’t work out she can get a job in QA at Boeing.

I can only think of the modernized blessing:
“May you find someone who looks at you the way Kristy Noem looks at her gun when she sees a puppy.”

If trump’s lickspittles managed to convince him to stuff his overt misogyny and accept a… ((pauses not to use scientifical f’word lest the meme be activated)) woman for running-mate, it’d be Nikki Haley, as she, even being out of the race, is still pulling down substantial support: Trump’s problem with Haley voters is actually much, much bigger
Donald Trump’s enthusiasm problem persisted in ruby-red Indiana this week, where nearly 22% of Republican primary voters cast a ballot for a onetime presidential hopeful who dropped out of the race two full months ago: zombie candidate Nikki Haley.

If she thought this was a good idea, I really don’t want her any where near the Senate or White House.

The thing is ever single pole had Haley beating Biden by 20 points. Yet the GOP stuck with Trump. The whole lot of them are morons.

More than half of polls, and the average here was +4% for Haley, but certainly not every pill showed her beating Biden.

This year’s Republican party campaign strategy certainly makes more sense if you think of them as taking pills intead of taking polls.
(This trend of misspelling “poll” is so compelling that I first typed “pools” but managed to fix it before submitting this post.)

I wonder if she will recover in 2 years for the next governor election. Or will she get primaried.
She seems super unlikable in every interview I’ve seen, but probably wasn’t as big of a deal when she was shitting on the left. But now maybe some other Republican who can brand themselves as NOT a puppy killer could take her job.

She was supposed to go on Greg Gutfeld’s show later in the day, and her staff made up some excuse about snow in South Dakota. It’s like in the 50s in Pierre, and she was already in New York, but for some reason, unseasonable snow in some part of South Dakota forced her to cancel. Gutfeld absolutely roasted her nonstop for like 5 minutes at the start of his show. Her political career is beyond over. Her inability to recognize that people just aren’t going to buy her reasons for killing the dog is baffling. Like…even if you don’t agree with it, at some point you have to acknowledge where the public sentiment is.
I think she’s completely done. I wouldn’t be surprised if she resigns soon.

That was a disastrous interview, and imma let you finish, but Japanese politician Ryutaro Nonomura’s 2014 press conference is the most disastrous interview of all time!. OF ALL TIME!

Twenty years later, Cricket’s ghost is bringing Noem’s career down on her head. Sweet, cold revenge.

I think this is part of the damage from TFG’s success in 2016. He was saying and doing stuff that should’ve made him un-electable, and yet he became president.
This is the talent I will give TFG credit for: he does have a talent for persuading some people. And he persuaded enough people that it worked, once.
So now there seems to be a whole crop of politicians who believe they can do that weird trick too: fuck up outrageously, brag about it, and listen to the applause. But - thankfully - it doesn’t seem to work for them.

I agree, except that so far, it doesn’t seem to not be working for Empty G.

I don’t have any first-hand experience Empty G’s electorate, but I have heard that they would elect a box of hammers, as long as it had an “R” on the side. So she seems to be kind of winning by default?

There is one clown in town --the Trumpster! He’s captured all the disaffected white fascist hearts to the extent of becoming a cult leader.
MTG is his Sideshow Bob, enabled only because there is such a small margin between the two parties in the House that one rancorous voice can make a difference.
She has no ideas except for bagging on the libs, even if it means voting against bills which will benefit the people of her district.
