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

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

She's not one of them.

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

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.

Shooting a hunting dog for hunting, in a state with plenty of hunters that would take it, is messed up, especially messing it up.

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.

Wait, I was just told by a mod of World News that this is speculation and I have schizophrenia if I assume Trump has blackmail on Putin, despite linking American Kompromat by Unger, Active Measures documentary, and Fire&Fury podcast Epstein Episodes by Michael Wolff
