Probably. Our Governor does not do weird stuff so you just see him walking around with no obvious security detail.
lol, yes, that too...
I think it's rather certain that the South Dakota State Police have a detail that protects her 24x7. I can't imagine any Governor not having that kind of protection.
THE STENCH OF POLITICAL DEATH IS GROWING AROUND TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN😮😁
The candidate spends most of his time ranting about his criminal trials. The campaign is struggling to raise money from voters, and there is no swing state operation, as the Trump campaign reeks of political death. The Washington Post reported on the alarm bells being rung by swing state Republicans:
“In order to win close elections in Georgia, you have to have a ground game that emphasizes turning out early votes and absentee votes,” said Cody Hall, a senior adviser to Gov. Brian Kemp (R). “I have seen no evidence of them having any of that.
The Trump campaign has a consultant in Georgia, but there is nothing else that I can see. … Everyone is generally concerned. “There is no sign of life,” said Kim Owens, a Republican operative and public relations professional in Arizona. “Especially in a state that Trump lost so closely last time, you’d expect to have more of a presence. I would think, ‘Let’s step it up.’ I think it’s a terrible mistake.”
In Michigan, some of the state’s operatives and Republican lawmakers have grown concerned about a lack of an operation there, according to four people familiar with the matter, even as they feel generally bullish about the state.
Trump’s big problem is that much of the money that he is raising is going to pay legal bills. The Trump campaign has tried to spin the situation as the ex-president running a leaner and meaner operation, but since he wasted $1 billion in campaign funds in 2020, Donald Trump has struggled to raise cash.
Trump is increasingly trying to cut deals with potentially wealthy donors like Big Oil, but this is a very different operation from 2016. There is no campaign arm mobilizing potential voters, and since took over the RNC and turned it into his personal operation, there is no party-wide effort in the swing states. It sounds like swing state Republican parties are out there on their own while Biden and the Democrats are building a massive get-out-the-vote operation.
Campaigns that have money troubles and no get-out-the-vote operation tend to underperform the polling and lose.
Trump’s campaign reeks of electoral death, and if the situation continues for much longer, the GOP could be looking at another Trump-led loss in 2024.

Apparently she also tried to dump the blame on her ghost Writer which did not go over well in the Literary circles
I really don't see how people like Noem can write those kinds of blatant lies and expect people to believe them. She must be very dumb. Most of us know that kind of thing can be easily checked.

New lawsuit accuses Trump campaign of illegally attempting to hide payments to women
Donald Trump's election campaign has been hit with a sex discrimination lawsuit involving fresh accusations that his lawyers violated federal law by attempting to hide settlement payments to women accusers.
The Federal Election Commission must investigate whether the campaign illegally attempted to hide settlement payments by routing them through third parties, according to a complaint filed by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).
The allegations of wrongdoing, first reported by The Daily Beast, stem from former Trump campaign employee AJ Delgado who gave a sworn declaration in her pending lawsuit against Trump that she was cut loose based on pregnancy discrimination.
Delgado, a former Trump 2016 campaign aide, had grabbed widespread attention by accusing longtime Trump aide Jason Miller of engaging in "a cycle of sexual coercion, rape, sexual assault, abuse, battery, sexual harassment, and sex trafficking."
Delgado and Miller had an affair and has since long accused Miller of stiffing her on child support payments. She has also claimed discrimination because she lost her job during pregnancy.
According to Delgado's filing, she also accuses Trump attorney Mark Kasowitz of admitting the campaign selected to move settlements through a law firm to keep a payout back in 2017 in an effort to dodge federal disclosure laws that mandate campaigns identify payments to recipients publicly.
“In other words, the payment would be routed through a middleman, to hide the fact that the Campaign had settled from the public and the FEC,” Delgado stated in the filing. “I thus have direct, personal experience with the Defendant-Campaign hiding settlement payments to women, routing them through a ‘middleman law firm,’ which to the public would only appear as payments 'for legal services.'"
She also suspects there is enough “information and reason to believe” that Trump's campaign made payments — specifically $4.1 million that she claims flowed to Kasowitz’s law firm over a two-month period immediately following the November 2020 election.
All of these efforts were intended to keep secret from the public and the FEC more settlements with women “who raised complaints of gender discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, and sexual harassment,” The Beast reported.
Trump is currently standing trial based on business fraud charges that involve payments allegedly made to an adult movie actress in an attempt to silence her story about a sexual relationship.
CREW president Noah Bookbinder published a statement about the lawsuit claiming Delgado’s allegations raise serious concerns about Trump potentially manifesting a scandalous cover-up.
“The allegations made in AJ Delgado’s declaration paint a deeply troubling picture of potentially illegal activity carried out by Donald Trump’s campaign. The FEC must conduct an investigation to determine the validity of these claims and establish the degree to which any wrongdoing occurred,” Bookbinder said. “No candidate or campaign is above the law, not even Trump.”

If Trump doesn't win the election, he will eventually lose in several of the criminal trials and sentenced to prison.

I wonder if she has SS protection.
No, she doesn't. If she wants security, she can hire it. And she's not a national office holder. She's a governor.
Damn, she's just so comically loony. (Though if you're an animal, it's not so funny.) And she just can't seem to shut up. I wonder if she'll be on any of the Sunday shows tomorrow, even though her 15 minutes should be over by now.
Me too. Always have.
I don’t believe what Trump posted. I think he will end up picking Haley because of how she has been doing in the primaries even though she dropped out.
I'm not sure. I think, among other things, that a lot of those people who voted for Haley might be pissed off if she suddenly shifted her position and agreed to be his running mate. It's hard--at least for me--to guess how many would feel that way. Another question: something people don't discuss in polls or on cable news: how many Trump voters will be counting on him dying before his term is up, if elected? How soon do they think he'll be pushing up daisies? How much damage could he do in the time he had? And would a VP Haley, once she took over, be well-received if she tried to undo that damage?
Another question we should be thinking about: does Trumpty really want to win? On a personal level, yes, because he's very angry at the people, including Biden, who want to send him to prison. But if he's capable of thinking rationally, he knows he probably won't spend any time in the slammer. Too complicated and too dangerous. If he died of ANYTHING while in custody, his fans would say he'd been murdered.
He could handle house arrest. He spends most of his time at one of his clubs, by himself except for meals or when golfing. It wouldn't make a big difference. So if he DOES lose, he can spend another four years egging his fans on to dispute the results of the election. No effort on his part. All he'd need to do would be to run his giant mouth.
If that's the result he wants, maybe he should choose poor Tim Scott.

Kristi Noem’s dog killing is pure Southern gothic
A literary critic’s take on the South Dakota governor’s memoir, “No Going Back.”
https://wapo.st/4ajeMZZ (gifted)
Review by Ron Charles
May 10, 2024 at 11:16 a.m. EDT
Toward the end of Fred Gipson’s 1956 classic, “Old Yeller,” Travis says, “It was going to kill something inside me to do it, but I knew then that I had to shoot my big yeller dog.”
Reading that scene again yesterday, damn if I wasn’t struck by the same storm of tears that overtook me in seventh grade. It’s a devastating moment, full of anguish, permanently embedded in the memory of anyone who’s read the novel or seen the movie.
If this week is any guide, a dog-killing scene will be permanently embedded in our memories of Kristi Noem, too. On Tuesday, the South Dakota governor published a political memoir called “No Going Back.” But days before it appeared, everyone on planet Earth already knew about the passage in which Noem describes shooting her 14-month-old wire-haired pointer named Cricket.
What you can’t get from the 24/7 worldwide freakout, though, is how strange Cricket’s summary execution feels in context. That grisly story pops up in a chapter called “Will the World Awaken?” — right after Noem describes how much Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wanted to meet her and right before she lays out a series of clichés called “The Noem Doctrine” — e.g. “Fight to win.”
In the fight with Cricket, Noem won the battle but lost the war. Yesterday in the Wall Street Journal, Republican garden gnome Karl Rove called “No Going Back” an act of “stunning self-destruction.” As Donald Trump considers whom to pick for his vice president, “bragging about shooting her puppy in a gravel pit ended her hopes of being selected.”
As a literary critic, I must object. The description of Cricket’s Last Stand is the one time in this howlingly dull book that Noem demonstrates any sense of setting, character, plot and emotional honesty. Otherwise, it’s mostly a hodgepodge of worn chestnuts and conservative maxims, like a fistful of old coins and buttons found between the stained cushions in a MAGA lounge.
And far too many people have been obsessing about Noem’s fantastical tête-à-tête with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Come on — who among us hasn’t mistakenly believed that we once faced down the leader of the Hermit Kingdom? As I told Joseph Stalin, “We all make mistakes.”
But the central moment in Noem’s memoir is that transcendent scene of South Dakota gothic.
Picture it: Harvest season, “the Super Bowl of farming.” But it’s hunting season at their lodge, too. “Balancing both at full throttle is enough to break a family,” Noem says. She does everything possible to make sure friends from Georgia bag some pheasants, but Cricket — “out of her mind with excitement” — ruins everything. “I was livid,” Noem writes.
Then, on the way home from that disaster, Cricket attacks some beloved, irreplaceable chickens at a neighbors’ house. The mother — holding a baby, no less! — runs toward the melee, sobbing: “My chickens! No, not my chickens!” Noem pays for the birds and hauls Cricket into her truck. “She whipped around to bite me,” she says. “I hated that dog.”
Once home, Noem leads Cricket to the gravel pit and dispatches her. Then she spots a smelly old billy goat that she wants to kill, too. The first shot goes awry. She has to run across the pasture for more bullets “to finish the job.”
Construction workers taking a coffee break at her house witness all this carnage. “When they saw me heading their way,” Noem writes, “they put their cups down, got up and went back to work — in a real hurry.”
Gripping, right? Disturbing, even. Forget Travis and his beloved yellow cur. For a few glorious pages, Noem feels like a Flannery O’Connor character with tax cuts. Honestly, as someone who had to endure all 260 pages of “No Going Back,” I wish Noem had shot more dogs — or me.
Ron Charles reviews books and writes the Book Club newsletter for The Washington Post. He is the book critic for “CBS Sunday Morning.”
As if Old Yeller is speaking from the grave;
Abigail Disney evokes Old Yeller in plea to reject Republicans after Kristi Noem kills dog
Exclusive: great-niece of Walt Disney issues appeal to appalled voters on behalf of Progressive Change Campaign Committee
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/10/kristi-noem-dog-abigail-disney
Evoking the classic Disney tearjerker Old Yeller, in which a family is forced to put down their beloved dog, the US film-maker and campaigner Abigail Disney exhorted voters to oppose the Republican party of Kristi Noem, the South Dakota governor whose story of killing Cricket, a 14-month-old dog, shocked the world and seemingly dynamited her hopes of being Donald Trump’s running mate.
“My great-uncle Walt Disney knew the magic place animals have in the hearts of families everywhere,” Disney wrote in an email released by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) and obtained exclusively by the Guardian.
“When he released Old Yeller, the heart wrenching story stayed with people because no one takes the killing of a family pet lightly.
“At least that’s what I thought until I read about potential Trump VP Kristi Noem shooting her family’s puppy – a story that has shocked so many of us.”......................
.
She and Trumpty are a matched set- they make up whatever they want out of whole cloth. I wonder if she has SS protection. I would be totally unsurprised if she was declared "untrainable" and dispatched in the same way as she did her dog.
Perhaps her late dog had not been dewormed and she contracted.........anyway she acts like a worm chowed down on what little nourishment it found.

Possible RFK Brain Worms, Ranked
I, like most of America, have not stopped thinking about the story that doctors found a dead worm in Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s brain. It’s a “well, that certainly explains things” anecdote in an era of entirely inexplicable nonsense. This bozo literally had “brain worms,” the catch-all phrase we use for someone whose asinine ideas suggest they are absolutely losing their mind.
Given my obsession with this, when I saw this tweet, I laughed for about two minutes, sent it to each of my four-to-five friends, laughed again each time I pressed “send,” and now am writing about it.

Let’s address the elephant in the room. Obviously, all the RFK Jr. brainworm jokes were long gone hours before my Friday night posting time. I don’t have some awesome, worth-the-wait, totally original, unheard RFK Jr. brainworm joke for you. Apologies. For about ten minutes, you delude yourself that no one else will notice the ivermectin bank shot, but who’re you kidding?
Dune jokes. Tequila jokes. Shazam aficionados seized the moment for Mr. Mind. You wouldn’t be reading this if you hadn’t heard five thousand RFK Jr. brainworm jokes by now. I have nothing to contribute to the discourse. Except maybe this…looking back on the headline that launched a thousand gags, let us raise a glass to the simple, comedic purity of the story as it broke:
R.F.K. Jr. Says Doctors Found a Dead Worm in His Brain
Perfect.
Subheadline: “The presidential candidate has faced previously undisclosed health issues, including a parasite that he said ate part of his brain.”
Oh, the chaos agent who might just haphazardly swat the souvenir snow globe of American democracy to the floor, shattering it for all time, had an ACTUAL FUCKING WORM living inside his skull, eating parts of his ACTUAL FUCKING BRAIN, until it died, presumably poisoned?
Sounds about right.
I just assume we’re being punished by God at this point.
Golly I hope the brainworm guy doesn’t tip the election to that rapist.
You know the rapist I’m talking about. Always cold, likes to print out chunks of the internet to wave around? You’d recognize him from that interview where he talks about leading the “party of fertilization,” (he’s a branding genius, this rapist) or that time he whined about being cold or maybe that other time he whined about being cold or even that other other time he whined about being cold.
I bet it sucks to be so cold when you’re living through your worst nightmare.
Because that’s what this is, y’know.
When you’re a narcissist, it’s probably not a lot of fun to listen to any woman talk about how unappealing and unsatisfying you are sexually, but imagine how the torment deepens when A) it’s happening during your felony trial and B) the entire planet is watching.
Emasculation on a scale that never would’ve been possible had he not sought and obtained the presidency. That’s some Sophocles shit, right there. For Donald Trump, this is what’s in Room 101.
Of course, he’ll kill us all for witnessing it, given the chance. He’ll finish the oath of office, demand the nuclear football, and mash away at the button with those stubby digits until all life on Earth ends, because it’s the only way he can be sure there’s no one left who knows.
Yeah, Stormy Daniels Week was definitely American history’s dignifiedest yet.
Surprising no one, all the defense could muster was a spiteful burst of slut-shaming, which was revolting enough, but the real dry-heaving started when the story took its inevitable turn down the dank, mildewy alley where all tales of Donald Trump’s sexuality eventually lead: his attraction to his daughter, Ivanka.
Seems like that thought’s never too far from the front of his mind, y’know? He talks about how much he wants to fuck his own daughter…a lot. More than anyone I’ve ever met. Way more. It’s one of the things that makes him such an odd choice to build a cult of personality around, in my opinion.

And times’re certainly tough for the Children of the Candy Corn, in the blinding glare of the God Emperor’s public degradation. You turn on Fox, and it’s this shame-drenched circle jerk, Jesse Watters moaning about the Dotard’s potential prison gym bod, while Gutfeld paws at his own groin with steel wool, squeaking “he’s a sex god!” Laura Ingraham pacing to and fro in the background, muttering “orange turd” in disgust, stopping periodically to flog Gutfeld.

In addition to the courtroom humiliations, everybody’s pointing and laughing at Wee Don’s latest feeble showing against Nikki Haley, but it coulda been worse. Imagine if he’d had to arm-wrestle her.
At least we finally figured out why he’s struggling to stay awake in court. Begging oil executives for bribes can really tucker you out, especially when you’re already woozy from the bronzer fumes.
He needs the money to pay Paul Manafort, y’see. Apparently, everyone’s favorite Kremlin conduit is headed back to the campaign trail, after a lucrative post-pardon stint influence peddling with the Chinese Communist Party. “America first,” though.
Oh, and congrats to Judge Aileen Cannon, on repeating as Trump Org employee of the month! Bet you’re in line for one of the very best parking spots in the Reich to come!
The week’s lowest point was definitely the moment Kristi Noem finally figured out it was within her power to just…stop making media hits. Like Mom unplugging the TV set right in the middle of Darkwing Duck. I watching that, dammit.

And Kristi’s the star that burned half as long but twice as hilariously. How did she come to believe any of this was going to work out for her? Why draw attention to your puppy homicide at all? HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO GET YOUR HEAD STUCK IN THE BAG IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Turns out, her team tried to talk her out of it, but she was so sure Cricket’s execution would launch her to glory (or at least the NRA) that she would not be deterred. Somehow that certainty held right up until the moment she realized “My God, I’m getting clowned by a fucking Newsmax host,” at which point her soul just…dissipated into the ether.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. challenges Donald Trump to debate at Libertarian Convention
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has challenged Donald Trump to a head-to-head debate for when both address a Libertarian convention later this month, a move that comes as the presumptive GOP nominee has ramped up both criticism of Kennedy’s independent bid and demands that President Joe Biden meet him on a debate stage.
Arguing that he is “drawing a lot of voters from your former supporters,” Kennedy said to Trump in an open letter posted Tuesday to X that the Libertarian convention provides “perfect neutral territory for you and me to have a debate where you can defend your record for your wavering supporters.”
Trump has been bullish in calling on Biden to debate him ahead of the November general election but has shied away from other rivals’ previous debate entreaties. Trump skipped the 2024 GOP primary debates, saying it was unnecessary because voters know him and his record.

Joy Reid: "If a worm gets in your brain, and it dies, that may say more about you than it does about the worm."
Good point. And as a matter of fact, RFK Jr has said it ate a little of his brain before shuffling off this mortal coil. So is the brain POISONOUS?
And here comes Katie!
Katie Britt shredded for 'Handmaid's Tale'-type proposal to 'register' pregnant women
U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) is being ridiculed on social media for a new piece of proposed legislation that, while billed as a child support bill for new moms, is being panned as yet another dystopian intrusion into women's pregnancies.
Britt, who came to the forefront of the political conversation following her heavily-mocked response to President Joe Biden's 2024 State of the Union address, announced the More Opportunities for Moms to Succeed (MOMS) Act. The bill would create a registry of pregnant women, who would then be steered to support services that include "crisis pregnancy centers" — usually faith-based groups designed to shame or trick women seeking abortions into keeping their pregnancies anyway.
"To all of my fellow moms out there, my goal is to give you and your children the opportunities to thrive and to live your American dreams," Britt said in a video announcing the policy.
But it didn't go over the way she was likely hoping on social media.
"Handmaid's Tale sh-- right here," wrote Allison Gill, the veteran and political commentator behind "Mueller, She Wrote." "What happened to the party of 'small government'?"
"Katie Britt: Introduced a bill to create a federal database of pregnant women. Also Katie Britt: Opposes federal database of gun owners," wrote Shannon Watts of Moms Demand Action.
@ArtCandee wrote, "Omg. Katie Britt has dropped a new super cringe video for introducing a bill to create a national registry of pregnant women. Clearly she didn’t learn her lesson about overacting and not coming across like a serial killer."
"This is Katie Britt, the Senator from Alabama, in her vanilla kitchen 98% of Americans could not afford," wrote @RogerZenAF. "She's talking about creating a database of pregnant women. Totally not cult behavior. Or fascism. Totally..."

So it seems. Mace is just bizarre.
MAGA women make horrible bosses. 🤮 Nancy Mace up to bat!
Mace accuses former staffers of sabotage, ‘massive invasion’ of privacy
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), who has experienced a string of staff resignations and firings, accused her former employees of sabotage and invading her privacy in a new interview.
“I knew that they were sabotaging the office for a while. I didn’t know to the extent that they were doing it,” Mace told the Daily Mail in an article published Friday.

Yes, that's what people are saying at X. A pity, but probably sooner or later she'll have to do more firing... I suspect she's a bitch to work for.
But... There's nothing at all online about Lara firing people. Not since her big purge in early March...
Wouldn't this be considered a quid pro quo? Impeachable offense?
Trump promised to scrap climate laws if US oil bosses donated $1bn - report
Trump promised to 20 executives at Mar-a-Lago dinner to increase oil drilling and reverse pollution rules among other pitches
Donald Trump dangled a brazen “deal” in front of some of the top US oil bosses last month, proposing that they give him $1bn for his White House re-election campaign and vowing that once back in office he would instantly tear up Joe Biden’s environmental regulations and prevent any new ones, according to a bombshell new report.
According to the Washington Post, the former US president made his jaw-dropping pitch, which the paper described as “remarkably blunt and transactional”, at a dinner at his Mar-a-Lago home and club.
In front of more than 20 executives, including from Chevron, Exxon and Occidental Petroleum, he promised to increase oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, remove hurdles to drilling in the Alaskan Arctic, and reverse new rules designed to cut car pollution. He would also overturn the Biden administration’s decision in January to pause new natural gas export permits which have been denounced as “climate bombs”.
(snip)
Trump’s exhortation to the oil executives that they were wealthy enough to pour $1bn into his campaign war-chest, at the same time pledging a U-turn on Biden’s efforts to combat the climate crisis, was immediately denounced on Wednesday by environmental groups.

I think this might not be true. More like they were fired when Lara took over.
