She seems to be doubling down on it because its politically incorrect and thats what the left hates.

I'm sure Conservatives will think it's very cool Noem murdered her dog for behavioral issues that are firmly her own fault. I'm really starting to wonder if there's a bottom to all of this.

There is no bottom. By the end of the next presidential cycle, it'll be conservatives gloating about how they beat their kids within an inch of their lives regularly.

Holy poo poo, part of his argument is that Dr Spock said not to beat your child and he was a communist.
Therefore not beating your child is against America.

"And a lot of people don't know that his voice was elevated because it fit a particular agenda. Dr. Benjamin Spock was a Socialist who ran for the People's Party. That means he's a Communist."

"And we are seeing that now, from Dr. Spock telling Christian parents, “Don't spank your children,” and they follow Dr. Spock instead of the Bible.
Dr. Spock was a communist who ran for president with a Communist Party. This is Communist ideology."

Whenever someone I talk to advocates for beating your kid(s), I usually just reply "I don't hit children".

I mean, hell, I don't hit anybody but I especially do not hit kids.

I don't know how my parents could even hit me as a child. I had no interest, as a grown man, in hitting my tiny daughters. How could we have thought that was a good punishment in the past?

My mom and dad both paddle us kids (especially me and my brother) but as a parent I did not want to do that with my daughters. I remember one time when both of my kids were little, I yelled at them and my mom told me to please stop. I mentioned that they yelled at me when I was a kid and she said that she really regrets how she handled us five kids and she does not want me to have the same regrets.

Edit: I worked at an alternative high school for a decade plus and the kids that were constantly in trouble with the law were also the ones that said “kids these days need to be beaten more, hell my dad beat me” without an realization of what they were saying.

I used to tell people "me, I'm a pacifist; I've thrown my last punch."

Since 2017, I've changed that to "I'll never hit a child. Or a dog. Or an adult. I will punch a Nazi."

Same. A few weeks ago my kids - eight - were getting the "We don't hit people" talk and it took all my restraint not to add "Ask them their take on the Great Replacemrnt first though."

The Kristi Noem poo poo and the right’s reaction blows my mind. When I hear someone bragging about drowning a litter of kittens in the bathtub, I don’t think “drat here goes a stone cold badass,” I think “drat here goes a Ted Bundy in the making.”

It would have taken no time at all for her to put the dog up for adoption.

The bullshit identity politics retreat from the point pisses me off. No, you're not a hard working "farm family"* making "hard choices". You're a goddamn blood gargling whack job politician in a death cult of a political party that thinks blowing a puppy's head apart for the crime of having you as it's lovely trainer is a good thing and something you should publish in a book. When everyone calls you out on it your response is to rally around your identity and scream more Us vs Them bullshit to distract from what the gently caress you just said.


* Whatever the gently caress that means in modern America with ten thousand square foot factory farms and ten thousand acre monocrops.

A lot of people on the right have condemned it, but because they can't bear to agree with people they hate, they've turned it into a whataboutism-by suggesting it's hypocritical of the left to condemn her when they support killing unborn babies.

I'd say they'd thrive. In a world where material needs don't exist and people find value in professional accomplishment or personal fulfillment, people will seek coaches and role models. And even without the prospect of a literal payday from it, charlatans and narcissists will grift for limelight alone.

I saw a bumper sticker today that read "I never knew a veteran who fought for socialism" I almost drove off the road. Also resisted the temptation to do a window roll down at the next red light and have a short chat.

Of ALL the very few things in this country that a person could even remotely consider socialist, the loving military of all things has to be at the very top of the list. No? Yes, I know that these morons don't know what socialism is but god drat. Not to mention the countries who made up the Allies during WW2.
