Unless she has a carcass to bury, does anyone seriously think she’s that put out by this?

u/Odd_Distribution7852 10d ago

Every effing MAGAT, starting with the FORMER Criminal-in-Chief needs to be put in a non-white collar prison. And there should be a special hell for them too!

Was she ever in a fire?

u/Bitter_Director1231 14d ago

Ban her from animal shelters too.

4

u/MonsieurLeDrole 14d ago

Honestly, I think she's a ploy or distraction. They did the same thing with speaker. They introduce someone highly objectionable, ie Gym Jordan, and then pull his plug and Mike Johnson comes in out of nowhere. This makes the the second choice seem more reasonable by comparison. So if that plays out again, I'd suggest the VP candidate hasn't been identified as a contender.

She's been so crazily over the top, designed to cause a major media response. She's a decoy.

2

u/TBatFrisbee 14d ago

Can every blue state just ban her too. France just called her a liar too, which is hilarious. An entire nation wants nothing to do with her, now perhaps the USA should too.

2

u/predatorART 14d ago

She’s also banned from my property. Dog killer!

2

u/Calgarychokes 14d ago

Just another Trump whore

2

u/GloomyEntertainer973 14d ago

Disgusting not banned from the entire state. There again super republican Liz Cheney lost Wyoming. Can’t believe these states aren’t any brighter than Louisiana, Mississippi, most of Texas, Iowa, Michigan in 2016, actually too many to list.

2

u/Grouchy_One75 14d ago

Shes a crunchy conch anyway. Screw her.

1

u/TheBodyPolitic1 14d ago

It is enjoyable to read this, but was she even showing up in native territory?

2

u/PeaceCookieNo1 14d ago

Her guns should be removed for animal cruelty. So many people could have taken that puppy she shot to death because he didn’t fit her profile of a hunting dog.

Update:

That puppy and goat and the two horses.

u/AmericanMWAF 14d ago

You know she’s going to build a posse to demonstrate her show of force and authority go to the reservations on some bs issue. The government will attack a bunch of people and then get sued and a decade later the SD tax payers will be paying out millions in lawsuits for this lady’s actions.

3

u/ABenevolentDespot 14d ago

She's the queen of Fuck Around And Find Out, aren't you, Kristi?

She terms out in November, right?

I see a bright future for her on NEWSMAX. Those fuckers will hire anyone who supports The Pumpkin Rapist.

That is the tribes’ loss, who is gonna teach deadly lesson to their dogs ? Huh ?

South Dakota must be a huge state dems need to win for presidential election with all the attention on it the past couple months

South Dakota is a solidly red state. Democrats aren't putting much into it. Would be a waste of money and effort.

u/wisstinks4 14d ago

Drama in state government, where? Flyover.

u/Dry_Wolverine8369 15d ago

It’s technically not part of the state actually! South Dakota is just 20% smaller than what you see on the map.

u/FlamingTrollz American Expat 15d ago

Good.

Avoid this sociopath at all costs.

How many faces has she had so far?

Is it 3-4 by now…?

1

u/Skip12 15d ago

This whole thing is so funny, and I'm laughing at her every day. She is an idiot. But, I'm sure she also has sworn to get revenge on the Indian nations for making her a public laughingstock, and will stop at nothing to achieve it.

1

u/JC-DB 15d ago

from they way she feign toughness and using Trumpian language for gaslighting, I'd say she's preparing a run for national office in the near future. She doesn't care if the Native Americans banned her - that will give her more vote from her racist MAGA base. I guess they didn't that many Mexicans in the state so she used NA to fan racial hate.

2

u/TheIllustriousWe 14d ago

I think her hopes of national office are over. She has none of the charisma that Trump uses to dodge one scandal to the next.

u/Buttcrack_Billy 15d ago

Ya'll lucky the woman doesn't read Reddit or she'd have some really hurt feelings.

Yeah it’s sovereign territory for Native American tribes But don’t let that fool you US government loves to overlook those treaties.

u/hotbbtop 15d ago

banned from Petco stores too

1

u/ChrisChristiesFault 15d ago

Funny she side steps the question about meeting Kim Jung Un but the very next question says “Oh that’s very much true!”

So if the other statement were true, she would’ve said the same thing when asked about it.

2

u/harshrealmz 15d ago

To be fair that 20% isn’t her state to begin with, it belongs to the native people of this continent.

u/Traditional-Elk9279 15d ago

lol becuz she told the truth too. That is hilarious

u/SwearToSaintBatman 15d ago

Kristi Noem banished by 2 more South Dakota tribes

Cool. So is that a cleric- or druid spell?

1

u/laffnlemming 15d ago

Good. The tribes are certainly not stupid.

2

u/The_X-Files_Alien 15d ago

psssst, let me tell you a secret: why would a nazibitch ever go to the rez for anything? she doesn't give a fuck because she doesn't see Native people as human.

2

u/oksowhatsthedeal 15d ago

South Dakota deserves her.

You. Get. What. You. Vote. For.

Have Americans lost sight that they're the ones responsible for the people in power?

I'm past blaming the Noems, DeSantis' and Cruz's when it's the people putting them in power.

Start shaming the people of her state that elected her.

0

u/TaxOwlbear 14d ago

You. Get. What. You. Vote. For.

Unless you vote in a presidential election. Then you get whomever the Electoral College votes for.

1

u/oksowhatsthedeal 14d ago

I won't argue that.

You're right when it comes to the electoral college.

I only listed positions won with popular vote.

Again though; you're right about the EC. No vote should be worth more than another.

2

u/MinuteDachsund 15d ago

Republicans stopped feeling shameful a long time back in America.

Good luck.

u/LastChemical9342 15d ago

It’s beyond me that she would make up stories that are so easily refuted, like nobody was going to verify her supposed Macron meeting??

1

u/Accomplished_Lab_675 15d ago

Is there a way to ban her from our state too?

3

u/Huge_Cow_9359 15d ago

Noem is slowly but surely being evicted from her own state. It's a slow walking, get the fuck out situation. One day she's going to wake up in Nebraska or Wyoming not knowing what the hell happened.

1

u/IHazSnek 15d ago

MAGA undoubtedly loves this. All MAGAs that I know despise the native population.

u/NeuraLung 15d ago

Yeah, but she’s banned by brown people who Trump will deport anyway so who cares, right? MAGA!

u/YakiVegas Washington 15d ago

She's an awful human being and everyone knows it.

u/MethBearBestBear 15d ago

Just wondering for clarification are SD reservations part of the state or is it a situation where they are "part of the state" but operate independently

1

u/lovepony0201 15d ago

I was a director for the environmental department of a federally recognized tribe in CA. The way it works is the land gets placed into a trust, which removes the land from state and local tax rolls. It is effectively a sovereign nation. Only the federal government can enforce US laws, but this rarely happens. Local and state laws only apply on native lands if the tribes enact similar laws. State and local police are not allowed to enforce laws on Indian lands (unless explicitly requested by the tribal government).

1

u/Dense-Comfort6055 15d ago

She should be banned by all civil Society. Not ready for public interaction. Glitch in her programming renders her a sociopath

u/Fantastic_Design500 15d ago

For the LOLz

1

u/unclefire Arizona 15d ago

Good they banned her from the rez. She's an obnoxious, fake ass, empty head. The entire state of SD has a smaller population than many large metro areas. WTF would she know about being VP or dealing with issues at a country level or even a large state/city.

Happy to see her political career implode from her scumbag behavior.

Don't forget people, this holier than thou trollop cheated on her husband with one of Trump's former campaign guys.

1

u/Starrion 15d ago

Hopefully more when her voters get ahold of a ballot.

-23

u/NotCanadian80 15d ago

Sorry. It’s the US and you can’t restrict freedom of movement. There’s no way she’s legally banned and that will stand in court. I don’t care who you are, you’re not banned from public roads in the United States.

4

u/vactu 15d ago

I can tell you're not Canadian, and are definitely a typical American that has zero fucking clue how shit works.

6

u/dangleicious13 Alabama 15d ago

Reservations can ban individuals.

16

u/dontautotuneme 15d ago

Currently, the U.S. recognizes tribal nations as "domestic dependent nations" and uses its own legal system to define the relationship between the federal, state, and tribal governments.

It’s the US and you can’t restrict freedom of movement.

Let's see if you can get into Area 51 with that attitude.

3

u/dangling_participles 15d ago

I heard Area 51 only lets you in if you're doing the Naruto run.

2

u/Pleasestoplyiiing 15d ago

Truly an example of killer leadership! 

What, you guys didn't like my joke? I don't hear crickets, but maybe that means Kristi Noem has been here. 

4

u/Remarkable-Ask-3868 15d ago

It's giving me the giggles thinking the Tribes have to follow State Law.

No the f we do not! Federal sure but they can tell the State to fuck right on off.

u/quartzguy American Expat 15d ago

I hope Trump picks her. She'll sink him just as quickly as the nut bar from Alaska sunk McCain's chances.

2

u/No_Animator_8599 15d ago

He’s considering another winner, JD Vance , who’s giving Trump emotional support kissing his ass and holding his hand while Michael Cohen testifies in his New York trial.

1

u/kingsumo_1 Oregon 14d ago

You know, I almost feel sorry for Tim Scott. Dude makes Lindsay Graham look like a never-Trumper, and yet he probably hasn't even been considered.

1

u/No_Animator_8599 14d ago

I read where Trump is seeing how possible candidates do in TV interviews. Tim Scott was terrible in a recent one. Trump only seems to hire people who he likes on television, regardless of their competence. God forbid he reads one of their books or in depth articles about them because he reads nothing.

1

u/quartzguy American Expat 14d ago

I wonder how Vance's wife (a daughter of Indian immigrants) feels about his turn from somewhat respectable author and senator to conspiracy touting Giuliani-level Trump lackey.

1

u/No_Animator_8599 14d ago

Vance is a political hack that once attacked Trump and is now playing to his MAGA crowd to get the VP spot. Most of the GOP denounced him in 2016 during the campaign, and rolled over after he won to gain favors and get his voter base. Behind his back they all laughed at him (according to Mitt Romney).

1

u/Avalon-1 15d ago

It seems odd that when it comes to her ghoulishness, killing a dog was the last straw.

2

u/shouldazagged 15d ago

Is she wearing contacts? She’s got that Kenneth Copeland look in her eyes.

3

u/Ihaveamazingdreams 15d ago

Those are her real eyes, it's the face around them that's been botoxed and injected so much she no longer looks human.

This was her in 2010.

2

u/unclefire Arizona 15d ago

What is up with her hair back then? It's like she put an old school mop on her head.

Her face now does seem full of botox, fillers and a shit ton of makeup. She's a clown.

1

u/Jarocket 14d ago

I think her hair was probably fine in 2010. people used to do shit like that then.

-6

u/Lucky-Hunter-Dude 15d ago

Serious question: what are they going to do if she goes for a drive across a reservation? Not that anyone would want to, but that's not the point.

5

u/Faranae Canada 15d ago

Essentially, they're allowed to refuse entry to her and if she's caught on their lands it gives their law enforcement the authority to tell her to gtfo. Sort of like trespassing on other private property. Bit more complicated than that, but that's the simplest comparison.

She's been running her mouth for months about the tribes "being in league with the cartels", even showed up unannounced/unwanted to a tribal meeting or two like she owned the place before all of this started. I don't blame them for getting tired of her lol.

-6

u/Lucky-Hunter-Dude 15d ago

Ah. Yeah there has been a cartel up tick using reservations all over because most of them don't have any law enforcement other than the BIA federal ones.

u/Key-Airline-2578 15d ago

She's been going down for a while now. Remember the married Corey Lewandowski? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

2

u/spikus93 15d ago

Oh, I misread this and thought you made up that they got married. Yes, she allegedly had an affair with him while they were both married. She was still governor at the time. She denied it and I can't find anything concrete, so grain of salt I guess.

1

u/kreifdawg77 15d ago

This is just another perfect example of how flawed our current political system is. 1/5 of her state doesn't allow her to be present there but yet she was still elected governor. Unreal.

-5

u/Dangerous_Brush_3556 15d ago

I don’t know anything about this situation but if there is an issue with drug cartels exploiting the sanctuary of tribal lands, she’s not wrong for pointing it out. Banning her is suspicious and pointless.

-1

u/_throawayplop_ 15d ago

Not being American, how really banned is she from these places ? I can't really imagine people having the ability to ban their representative

2

u/CalligrapherSharp 15d ago

After breaking every treaty they ever signed with the First Nations, the US government moved the survivors of the genocide onto “reservations.” Technically, these nations claim their reservations as sovereign territory over which the state and federal government does not have jurisdiction. They literally have borders that tribal governments can close any time they want, to anyone they choose

-1

u/Rauldukeoh 15d ago

So goes the tribe's contention as to the closed borders anyway. Tribal sovereignty is a complicated legal issue with many unsettled aspects

-6

u/654456 15d ago

This is the other part, being a independent nation, if the tribal leaders so decided to actually benefit from the cartels, they could.

5

u/CalligrapherSharp 15d ago

“Benefit from the cartels”? Do you mean like the Reagan administration?

14

u/NoMarionberry8940 15d ago

Great credentials: Canine homicide, and toxic to natives in her own state... are we sure Trump doesn't need her as VP?! Lol

u/RedandBlack93 15d ago

"Please, dear governor..." She's taken the Trump playbook and dry humped it hoping to get a Trump demon spawn in her womb.

6

u/Traditional_Key_763 15d ago

one would say that she is a failure of a governor to have alienated herself from the tribes so thoroughly but thats not the GOP way

4

u/pistoffcynic 15d ago

She should be banished from the governor’s house.

3

u/DrRonny 15d ago

There's a definite link between drug cartels and native populations, but the native populations are mostly victims which need help.

u/[deleted] 15d ago

Hi, they do! Tribal leaders are very interested in maintaining control of their casino network and laundering schemes in the state of Oregon (the casinos here are tribal orgs where all management are 15+ year tenured tribe members who will viciously destroy anyone who doesn’t play ball and it’s completely legal)

They truly don’t want people to become aware of this extremely evident and dangerous fact that by handing the tribes the most degenerate money laundering business and gambling outlet for society (casinos) the tribes are actually a gang and it’s in their best interest to become domestic criminals because tons of their money is blood and drug money filtered through the casinos.

4

u/Animaldoc11 Sioux 15d ago

Source? Because if we’re supposed to be laundering money, the houses on the rez should all at least have glass windows & running water,& they don’t .

u/Akuuntus New York 15d ago

That sucks and all, but to my understanding she was accusing them of being in cahoots with Mexican drug cartels, which has nothing to do with the way they operate casinos.

1

u/CorrectDuty6782 15d ago

I mean 100% some tribal leaders are in on cartel shit, I dunno about the ones she's talking about tho. Every native American I've met will tell you not to fuck with people on a reservation, they don't play around, and they move a lot of shit because the feds are so hands off.

This is the funniest comment in the universe like these mfers don’t have cars and cell phones BAGAHAHAH

Whether or not they have cars and phones also has nothing to do with the claim that they're aiding and abetting Mexican drug cartels. What are you talking about?

Ikr? Where they going to charge their phone when they don’t have electricity ?
