I should have known!

She shot a dog?

Ok.

Most people who would never vote for her won't like that.

Some people who wouldn’t vote..,,,,

Will vote now.

She's a rancher; they are frugal by nature, don't waste $200 for the cost of a ctg. Even less if she reloads.

Bullets can work on death row and in some states, they do.

Have you another booster.

Didn't I read somewhere that this took place some 20 years ago? But yet it is now relevant?

Heck, I suppose MSNBC is currently looking for a "witness" to try to bring animal cruelty charges against her at this very moment.

Mitten Romney put a family dog in a carrier on top of the family station wagon, he was roasted over it when he was running for prez. Dog was unharmed as far as I know. This story will be front page news on every social media platform (just like the wolf idiot in WY) if she is chosen as VP candidate.

Any dog named "Cricket" will surely be shot some day.

She's coming out with a autobiography. I'm sure that there was some left wing libs that got a copy of it and scoured it for dirt and this is all they could come up with.

On the other hand, she didn't do herself any favors politically.

It was her dog, so it was her decision. Maybe she should have left that part out of the book. SSS.

"Likely..."

"Likely..."

GTFOOH Quit projecting your liberal bullsch!t onto others and situations you have no idea about.

You are on this board for over 10 years and you only rear your head when it's election time and you want to take potshots.

I don't know many dogs that would last long around here that would kill chickens and live long. Matter of fact, a neighbor had all of her chickens killed by another neighbor's dog. The only reason that dog lived a little longer is because her husband wasn't a good enough shot.

After reading the article, I am not sure I would characterize her killing of the dog as 'bragging'.
I should probably read the book itself to get a better idea of the whole deal, but I am under the impression her point for writing that message was to emphasize that sometimes things need to be done that aren't pleasant, but that she's willing to do what needs to be done. Assuming there's any scrap of truth in the article, I can't see how anyone can interpret that as bragging. Virtue signaling for voters maybe, but not bragging.

As an aside, any dog that bites a person that wasn't being tormented or tortured by said person is going to have serious considerations for a bullet, via myself. I've done it. I'm not proud of it and sure as hell am not bragging about it.

Edited: I read a few more responses and see I am not the only one who brought this up...

Yarp.

Tarkio: pay attention before you project your own B.S. I'm all over this board, reading, learning, posting, buying and selling. I shipped a fine Winchester
to another long-time poster here an hour ago. GC

You did?


Cool....did you bleed all over it first you dumb bitch?

11 years = ~3900 days. 960 posts in that any days.

I should have clarified with regards to the campfire subforum.

I have never seen any of your posts until just recently when you started chiming in with your liberal politics.

And you did project there buddy. You have zero idea what happened. What Noem did, said, how she acted when she shot this dog.

You are part of the same class of people hand-wringing over this and at the same time that are single-issue voters with regards to abortion.

Not a huge fan of Noem.

But the reality is, when something needs to be put down, most people can't bring themselves to do it. Gal decided it needed done, and did it.

Is that cold? Is that callous? Yeah, maybe a bit. But I am one to say you need some of that in your leaders when tough decisions need to be made.

Lots of assumptions, however German Wirehaired Pointers and Drahtaars are terrrific dogs but the $64 question is training first for obedience, then hunting. It would be interesting if Rich Smith chimed in.

Those dogs are hunting machine that much we all know. If the dog doesn’t have consistent training in the early years by someone who knows what they are doing, trouble begins.

Anyone’s guess.

I was excited about the possibility of Trump choosing Noem, that's done now.
I don't blame her actions with the dog, she did what she wanted to do with her animal.

The majority of voters who hear any story of someone shooting her own dog (14 month 'puppy' as framed by the media) will hold it against her. She's finished as a veep candidate, zero chance. The Trump campaign already echoed those thoughts.

Curious why she revealed all of this unless she was just trying to get ahead of the story. Maybe a bunch of libtards owned the chickens and watched things go down. Either way, she's done.

Ok, I’m going to get roasted for this. But, heck, you only live once.

Sarah Palin II.

I’ve said it before. She is a very good governor. That’s it. She is trying too hard, it’s not working and there are skeletons. She could be a fine Senator eventually if she doesn’t turn RHINO in the process. Isn’t that what always happens?

The only female in my memory that had what it takes to be at the top level was Margaret Thatcher. Gov Noem is no Margaret Thatcher. (I dimly remember a southern governor - Arkansas, Alabama? She was exceptional). Most of them survive because everyone is afraid to call them out. Diversity hires.
