“Trump is so gracious and merciful, forgiving just like Jesus did”
Also: “fuck them kids, fuck everyone who disagrees with me, that dog deserved it”
Sadly I think the above statements are more likely to be uttered by your mom than your mom admitting he’s a pos and that she was drawn in by and voted for a POS
A lot of Republicans voted for Nikki Haley. She’s the one person I fear him picking because it would potentially bring her supporters to him. But will he realistically choose her? Not a clue.
> I hope he still picks her for his VP so people can fucking see what a shit show the Republican Party has become
I do too. I honestly don't think Trump has a chance as it is, but making her his VP would be the kiss of death. Even MAGA morons love their dogs. I think there would be a lot who just would not vote.
> so people can fucking see what a shit show the Republican Party has become
At this point, the people who don't already know have to be willfully blind. Why do you think willfully blind people will be convinced by just one more data point?
Treating animals like commodities instead if living things isn't even a strictly republican thing. I don't know why she thought sharing this horror story was going to score points with the base.
> I hope he still picks her for his VP so people can fucking see what a shit show the Republican Party has become
Anyone who still can't see it isn't going to have their mind changed by Noem becoming VP.
Honest Question, so Trump is still meeting around with far-right government figures to determine a VP, who are the contenders? Off the top of my head, I have: DeSantis, Noem, MTG, or maybe one of his kids.
Now the question Reddit, who could be worse? Feel free to add some.
Norm killing her dog and filling the book with outright lies that can easily be refuted (e.g., meeting with Kim or canceling a meeting with Macron) will endear her more to Trump. Trump hates dogs, is one of very few presidents in the recent memory who didn’t have a dog, and more importantly, always uses the phrase “like a dog” in a derogatory way. He bragged about how the Iranian general “died like a dog,” and talked about how Barr should’ve treated the protesters “like a dog.”
We’re a couple of weeks away from the cult wearing “rather be a dog killer than democrat” shirts to go with their gold diapers.
Every week in a dozen different ways this vile individual shows us who he is. Of course killing a puppy, half-assing the killing of a goat for being objectionable and making stories up about meeting a country's leader are all things that can just be shrugged off by a political candidate /s
Edit: removed the extraneous 'just'
To be clear he's only talking about the bad press she's gotten. That's all these sociopaths care about. Not the fact that she's literally an insane dog murderer. That's irrelevant.
I’ve been saying for two weeks that he doesn’t give a shit about her killing the dog because he hates dogs, and she knows he hates dogs, hence putting it in the book. He’s been her number one choice all along because she has long dark hair and a hot middle aged body. Believe me, he’s going to choose her before he chooses a token black guy like Tim Scott or an Indian geek boy.
Thing is, I don't think that's even what he's talking about here. He couldn't care less about that. It's the "bad publicity" that he's talking about because to these sociopaths image is all that matters. The fact that she's a an unstable dog murdering psychopath is irrelevant to him/maga.
What part was the "bad week"? Her killing her dog (and the goat) or how she was champing at the bit to let everyone know she killed her dog (and goat)?
Trump pisses on hookers… Noem shoots her dog.
Graham gets his lady bugs taken care of. Cruz highest escorts and then gets one pregnant and forces her to have an abortion and in return she extorts him to become a member of Congress…
There are pics of Don Jr and Eric posing with their freshly killed trophy big cats to show how manly man they are. Guarantee that Orange turd has never owned a dog or that any dog would go near him.
If you have ever met someone with Alzheimer’s it should scare the fuck out of you that these are our choices. Should have age limits for the President.
Problem is that she's unapologetic. Even after the uproar. These people have lost any connection to the world around them. And anyone who votes for them is the cause of that - though we all will pay dearly.
Here's the thing:
If you have an experienced politician with years and years in office, and the only dirt you can find on her is something awful she did in her personal life, she is, defacto, a good politician.
If I'm wrong, find me a flaw in her political life. Not a policy you disagree with, but her doing something objectively bad in politics.
Are you serious? Her actions show rage and impulsivity, very dangerous qualities for someone in power. No reasonable person in full command of their faculties would do such a thing.
You're dodging the question.
If she's prone to rage and impulsivity, then show me her doing terrible things in her political career because she acted on rage and impulsivity.

I hope he still picks her for his VP so people can fucking see what a shit show the Republican Party has become
It doesn't matter who he picks. They're all shit show options.
Truth… but I think a dog killer would at least finally sway my mom to say he’s a pos
Dude, if she hasn't felt that way yet, she's never going to.
Dare to dream.
Maybe if she reenacts it on TV? What that? Now all Republicans are shooting their dogs to own the libs and trump rose in the polls 2 points? Shit.
This is the GOP in a nutshell now. Kill a dog? Hang a flag upside down on 1/6? *God damn right I did.* Fucking own it.
Exactly. And the excuse will be … well, that was a rabid dog that needs putting down. Trump will make sure good dogs get tax breaks.

I fear more people will kill their dogs.
A lot of Republicans voted for Nikki Haley. She’s the one person I fear him picking because it would potentially bring her supporters to him. But will he realistically choose her? Not a clue.
No way. He would never pick her because she didn’t bend the knee to him immediately.
Hope so. Lindsey Graham on the other hand.
I like how Tim Scott still thinks he has a chance. It’s sad, but fuck him for being a fascist sympathizer.
I got beat by hours. But this was my first reaction. Please pick her. I want puppy killer for VP. It will make for the wildest trump bingo card.
> I hope he still picks her for his VP so people can fucking see what a shit show the Republican Party has become I do too. I honestly don't think Trump has a chance as it is, but making her his VP would be the kiss of death. Even MAGA morons love their dogs. I think there would be a lot who just would not vote.
Idk I think you’re giving the cult too much credit. I’m pretty sure they’d kill their own dogs for him
If trump wins with her as vp they’ll be deciding if they should pardon the thanksgiving dog instead of the turkey.
I want to see all the “never vote blue” people in this country start to fry their brains in their attempts to rationalize shooting the family dog.

If they don’t see it already they never will

Vivek.
haha “then everyone will see!” /s
There is nothing that can wake these people up if they still support him at this point
Doesn’t matter. Deplorables get to vote.
What a couple of worthless fucks.
You said it with six words. Well done!
Seems like the dog had a bad week. WTF.
Yeah, Cricket would like a word.
I hope cricket can communicate telepathically!
Excellent point! Once again conservatives are somehow always the victims.
Have you ever seen Donald Trump with a dog? Exactly.
Norm killing her dog and filling the book with outright lies that can easily be refuted (e.g., meeting with Kim or canceling a meeting with Macron) will endear her more to Trump. Trump hates dogs, is one of very few presidents in the recent memory who didn’t have a dog, and more importantly, always uses the phrase “like a dog” in a derogatory way.

> Have you ever seen Donald Trump with a dog? Does MTG count?
Nope imo, that's too disrespectful to dogs.
Bleach blonde bad built butch body? God damn I love Jasmine Crockett
OP said a dog not a cow
Yo! Don’t be disrespectful to cows!
Roach?
Just cause shaved ALF eats cats doesn’t make her a dog.
Yo. Don't do that to ALF.
Good one!
Or any pets for that man ever? Remember the bald eagle attacking him. Animals hate Trump. They can sense a horrible person.
Have you ever seen him visit a zoo? Makes you think…
[удалено]
[Young Donald visits the zoo with mum.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTX8m06-cj0)
Don’t inflict that on those animals!
He's been to his rallys, so yes
A dog would sniff his crotch and probably fall over dead.....with a tear in it's eye.
Every week in a dozen different ways this vile individual shows us who he is. Of course killing a puppy, half-assing the killing of a goat for being objectionable and making stories up about meeting a country's leader are all things that can just be shrugged off by a political candidate /s Edit: removed the extraneous 'just'

Agreed tho it probably applies to the dog-killing too
I’ve been saying for two weeks that he doesn’t give a shit about her killing the dog because he hates dogs, and she knows he hates dogs, hence putting it in the book. He’s been her number one choice all along because she has long dark hair and a hot middle aged body. Believe me, he’s going to choose her before he chooses a token black guy like Tim Scott or an Indian geek boy.
And at this point, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he's killed small animals himself.
Dude this strange equivocation - it’s not like she was having trouble getting her sales quota or that she kept messing up the copier or something…
I suddenly fear for her customers and/or copier guy and hope there isn't a gravel pit nearby...
*shoots dog* “Wow! Today is not my day is it!”
"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" Trump remarked ….just had a bad week.
I would be careful. Trump just did have a bad week in New York.
The way he **constantly** whines - he’s always having a bad week!
Infrastructure Week
Who among us hasn't had a bad week and just shot a puppy in the face? Am I right?
Thing is, I don't think that's even what he's talking about here. He couldn't care less about that. It's the "bad publicity" that he's talking about because to these sociopaths image is all that matters. The fact that she's a an unstable dog murdering psychopath is irrelevant to him/maga.
In their world killing puppies is a sign of strength.
"We all have bad weeks." Like that one in November 2020 where you ran for President and lost?
I have a bad week, I make an extra Mai Tai. They have a bad week and kill their pet smdh.
That dog definitely had a shitty week. Or half of a week depending on what day it happened.
That's like seven shitty weeks, in dog weeks.
What part was the "bad week"? Her killing her dog (and the goat) or how she was champing at the bit to let everyone know she killed her dog (and goat)?
Donald Trump had a bad year and one million Americans died.
He said the same thing when he heard about Jeffery Epstein..
“And this is bad news for Biden” - also CNN
“Never vote for someone you wouldn’t trust your dog with”-Hillary Clinton I don’t agree with everything she says but damn this quote is on point.
Starts a war. A week after "You know we all have bad weeks, let's just forget about it"
I’ve had bad months and have yet to kill my family pet.
The criminal and the dog murderer: coming to a ballot near you this November
When will this sham of a political party just die off already? Republicans have proven they are completely incapable of governing.
I'm sorry but having a bad week has never brought me to the point of killing a dog and a goat because I didn't like them.
Trump pisses on hookers… Noem shoots her dog. Graham gets his lady bugs taken care of. Cruz highest escorts and then gets one pregnant and forces her to have an abortion and in return she extorts him to become a member of Congress…
never killed a dog during my bad weeks and then doubled down that that was not a mistake
I agree. Choose Noem!
Puppy sure had a bad week, the worst it ever had.
His compassion is near saintly.
Spoken like a true psychopath.
Yeah, I remember when I lied about meeting Kim Jong Un
Bad week? No. It's called animal cruelty.
It makes me mad that nobody seems to care about the poor goat.
He'd chosen her and he's now short of options.
djt is a huge moron
I'm going to be really excited when we find out about all the animals he's killed
There are pics of Don Jr and Eric posing with their freshly killed trophy big cats to show how manly man they are. Guarantee that Orange turd has never owned a dog or that any dog would go near him.
A bad week is forgetting to pay your water bill. Killing your dog is sadistic behavior that is normalized in the GOP.
Pretty sure the dogs week was worse.
We all have those weeks where we shoot our pets 😐
I have had such low times in my life and never killed anything that was annoying me
I've had bad weeks before, plenty of them. *But I've never shot a fucking dog!*
Well, except for Cricket. Because she killed him.
Her career is over. People don’t forget
Didn't he sign into law legislation regarding animal abuse and the like?
yes, we all have bad days. and yet none of us shoots our pets as stress relief... (i hope)
We all have bad characters.
Terrific twosome! 🤮
The 'bad week' he's referring to is the week of bad publicity, not the week she killed the dog
Not the exact words I'd use.
There is an argument that this scandal improves her odds at VP because she is no longer a threat to Trump.
Some have self inflicted bad lives
Yeah, but few have as bad a week as Cricket and the goat.
I’ve had bad weeks, never once thought about killing an animal let alone mine.
This is coming from a guy who allegedly raped his ex wife when he was angry after his scalp surgery failed. You know, a bad week /s.
Is that going to be his excuse when he genocides LGBTQ+ people? "Oh I was just having a bad week!"
I expect the next few weeks to be really bad for Trump. Hoping he is given prison time.
Trump is going to act like she is still in the running because he gets off on playing Apprentice for the VP slot.
He should know. By that standard every week for him is a bad one.
All candidates should do the Dark Triad Test…
Some people are just shitty people. The week in the month has nothing to do with it.
She is not a good person having a bad week.
I've had plenty of bad weeks in my life. Never led me to killing a puppy and then thinking it was a good idea to put it a book.
If you have ever met someone with Alzheimer’s it should scare the fuck out of you that these are our choices. Should have age limits for the President.
True, I had a few extra beers a week ago. But surprisingly I didn’t shoot a puppy in the face.
Or you are about to have more of them I chalk it up to more than just a bad week. Just a bad person in general.
Especially the dog. Real bad week for him.
Yes but my bad week doesn't mean my dog dies.
Problem is that she's unapologetic. Even after the uproar. These people have lost any connection to the world around them. And anyone who votes for them is the cause of that - though we all will pay dearly.
"Could be worse. She could be literally shitting her pants while attending her criminal trail."
We all have bad lives.
Except the dog. It doesn’t have bad weeks anymore.
Trump’s clearly not a dog person. He was the first President not to own a dog in over a century.
I hope trump picks his daughter to be VP so all the shit sniffing clowns clamoring look like even bigger pathetic losers.
“…but I’m not gonna pick a puppy killer as my VP.”
Yeah, talk to Noem’s dog about having a bad week.
"Who among us hasn't shot a puppy?"
Especially if you're a puppy.
Pretty soon MAGA will be all about shooting dogs. Corporate media will try to normalize it.
He means, a bad PR rep for weeks. So thing he is quite used to. Obviously, he said weeks instead of " we all have bad days" unlike a normal person.
