Kristi noem isn't even a bootlicker for the conservatives, she's just stupid. I've seen her some of her interviews defending the tariffs and she has no idea what she's talking about.

You also can't ignore her cowboy hat in this interview

She reminds me of one of those robots that they're working on to become more lifelike. Maybe one day.

I'm sure there are some smart people in South Dakota.

She's not one of them.

When someone tells you who they are, listen.

Interesting how these types of people seem to have a set of phrases with their own fixed meanings that don't necessarily correspond to the literal meanings of the words that make them up. "Can't trust the government" in this context really means "can't trust liberals/progressives". You can see that in her response if you watch the video. She's not stumped when the reporter points out the apparent contradiction. She expect everyone to make the same mental substitution, under which there is no contradiction.

Another good example is a 5 minute youtube video about homelessness from a fake university with an orange logo. They cite an example of a bridge between Los Angeles and Culver City that has a major homeless encampment on one side, but not the other, due to different laws in the two cities. To quote directly:

the Los Angeles side is full of tents and the Culver City side is empty. Why? Because the two cities have different public policies. Los Angeles has effectively decriminalized public camping and drug consumption while Culver City enforces the law.

If Los Angeles has no law against homelessness, then what law is it supposedly failing to enforce? This seems like a contradiction, until you realize that "Culver City enforces the law" has nothing to do with actual laws, but with the "law" of the moral framework that the authors are trying to propagandize.

She "dragged him" to the gravel pit and killed him with two shots, having to go back to the house to reload after she botched the first attempt.

A pure untrainable idiot, through and through.

And she's the secretary for homeland security of all things now?...

Ok, news break! The President of the US is the most obvious foreign actor the country has ever had. This is like if Benedict Arnold was actually President while trying to overthrow the government, then running again and winning. His main goal is to weaken the US as much as possible for his daddy, Putin. If this appointment surprised you, get ready. It's gonna get a lot worse.

They need to stop hitting themselves in the face with the ugly stick. Holy shit.

Is there a name for this phenomenon for when people start to look inbred due to having all of the terrible plastic surgery? It's like the Habsburg jaw but within a single generation because the deformity wasn't a product of breeding.

Brian Posehn called it "Hot Girl Down Syndrome" several years ago on a special. While I understand that is problematic, it's so spot on it does work as a fantastic shorthand.

Holy shit, I wasn’t expecting it to be word for word the same. Wow…

Points for honesty… I guess?

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 35 points 1 day ago

To be fair, it was like 2 overlapping conversations interrupting each other.

Still, though, she can go fuck off.

Elon Musk is part of the administration that is helping us identify where we can find...savings.

We can't trust the government now. We couldn't trust it before either, but we also can't trust it now.

[–] OneTwoThree@mander.xyz 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The sad thing is, there actually used to be some areas in which you could trust the government. You could trust the CDC for health information, the FDIC with your money, the FDA for food regulations, the USPS to deliver your mail..

Nowadays, everything good about government will be getting axed and everything bad amplified. But what can you do~

Is it just me or does anyone else have to fight the urge to be horribly misogynistic to these Trump worshippers? I always fall back to my gender-neutral profanity (such as "Trump's shit-guzzler") but I just feel a deep rooted desire to be as maximally offensive to and about MAGA cultists and enablers as humanly possible. I know it's lazy but I mean if anyone deserves to be insulted in the most extreme way possible it's these creatures.

[–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago

Nah, she lacks the depth and warmth.

Call her a Nazi.
