Unbelievably Believable

Kristi Noem [FULL DISCLOSURE: I would do her] has big plans for national office as a young GOP superstar which means of course she just put out a memoir, and in it she includes a story of shooting her 14-month old dog because it wasn't doing a good enough job as a hunting dog:

She was roundly condemned as a “sadist” and “puppy killer” on social media as news of the story spread. But she seems to be tapping into the controversy to peddle copies of her book, writing on X: “If you want more real, honest, and politically INcorrect stories that’ll have the media gasping, preorder ‘No Going Back.’”

I have 100% faith that not a single Republican will spend even a second of self-reflection to consider what kind of asshole you have to be such that someone brags about a story of themselves willfully shooting a puppy to death because they think it will impress you. Incredible.
