I’m going back to getting articles ready for the midnight rollover. Happy tomorrow in advance!

#43  When 20 comments are a heavily discussed thread, putting in that number by one person is not minutiae. It could even look like numbers padding.

Minutiae would be noting the number of minutes between posts over the last hour, peak hour, and previous nine hours would be.

#42  My only "point" is that you're arguing with nobody

#41  Contrary to your "implications" she was NEVER my investment, no matter how many times you say it. I never liked Bachmann (yeah, 'crazy eyes' was part of it) and I've thought Palin, Noem were thin for any national slot. Burgum too

#39  I think people who are invested in political personalities reveal themselves when their idols take a fall.

#38  Statistical minutae. Thanks spelchek.

#37  Well, half the comments aren't mine so I didn't pollute the stream. Statical minutae like that makes your day, Frank? Oh for gadh's sake.

#36  That's what I was guessing. She's toast.

#35  Guess I got a bug up my ass about Kristi. She must remind me of someone in ny own lame life.

#31  Hah. Just tried to send Kristi an email. My email address is "invalid."

#30  I have a whole lot of stories nobody will torture out of me.

And I'm not running for office

#29  "Rising Star" is a mean curse. Hopefully I'm way too old to ever have it tossed my way.

#28  I have a Very. Hard. Time. connecting with anyone who tries to explain away her sick excitement in recounting something any cowboy would left unsaid.
Posted by: M. Murcek   2024-05-09 15:50  

#27  No. It speaks to someone who thinks the unspeakable needs spoken about because "meeeee."

We are learning a lot about the people who are trying to mitigate explain it.

#26  Deacon @15, living in the country, I shot dogs that decided to chase the horses, etc.
I didn't feel the need to put it in a book.
I just dug a hole and that was that. This whole thing speaks to poor judgement.

#25  You are an idjit for crafting an apolagia for something that may be necessary but certainly isn't anything to celebrate.

#24  Obama drones a few Americans, Americans abort 54 million babies…. and the true outrage is the killing of a dog. For rural Americans and farmers life and death are two sides of the same coin. East and West coasters can never relate to such a story because it is absent from their lives.

#23  Pretty isn't what we need in Washington.

#22  She showed her inexperience with vetoing the the bill banning trans in girls sports. Inexperience, poor judgement and little experience outside of SD is not a resume for the world stage.

#21  GWs only have what the sub gives them to work with.

Unless sabatuers get input.

Noem told the story, thought it was a good story. A definite insight into a flawed mind.

And over at Breitbart other flawed minds are screeching to cover for her, because "rising star."

Gag...

#20  Why did you have to put it in a book?

Nobody took a look at what the ghost writer had written.

#19  Great old cartoon you can't find online anymore of Michael Vick with tears in his eyes holding a copy of Old Yeller. The caption:

"I love a happy ending!"
Posted by: M. Murcek   2024-05-09 13:22  

#18  Yes, actually it is. An authentic country person wouldn't bother to mention it.

#17  ^An argument between city people & country people.

#15  I once had to do the same thing. The dog was killing my chickens, attacking my 2 other dogs, and even biting my horses' legs. No shelter would take it. I had no other choice. Sad thing to do but necessary.

#14  Gutfeld and company were absolutely brutal last night re: Ms. Noem.
Posted by: Gleremble+Bucket3559   2024-05-09 12:30  

#13  Personally, I like her more because she took responsibility to put down a killer dog.

A lot of federal programs should be put down like that.

#12  But, hey, if you have your choice between Noem and Harris...

#11  Was it the dog or her meeting with Kim Jung Un?

#9  Trump is going to pick someone so embarrassing as VP people will be nostalgic about Pence.

#8  She believes it was a good thing to say. And idiots are rushing to her defense.

I'm just sad.
Posted by: M. Murcek   2024-05-09 09:39  

#7  But she's a hawt thuglican. That's how too many people think.
Posted by: M. Murcek   2024-05-09 09:37  

#6  ^ Amen and amen.

#5  OK, you shot a dog. Why did you have to put it in a book?
I am concerned that these narcicists always seem to think somebody wants to read a book about them.
