I'm surprised they haven't put that squad of doctored old harpies from Merde á Lardo on the front lines. Talk about the stuff of nightmares! edit: so as not to offend real women I changed 'women' to harpies. Thanks to the other comments.

That's because the Merde a Lardo "men" have no spines or testicular fortitude, so they have to hide behind all their plastic Barbies.

It’s the execrable behavior and cruelty (puppy killer/ goat killer 🙄) more than the face ! Alas it’s a sad truth that women like Noem torture their faces to please the misogynistic men they are so in thrall to !And this is the most misogynistic of Presidents 🙄

Jan Fabiyi's avatar

And think of what it means that she thought the puppy and goat killings were a good story to tell to demonstrate her ability to make hard decisions. How about that she could at least have given the goat to a petting zoo, brought the puppy to a local shelter. She’s pro-life? Even if she wanted to proclaim how tough she is, she does not register the cruelty of executing defenseless animals, not unlike her inability to comprehend what she is doing to the lives of all those innocent people rounded up in her ICE raids. Even to the lives of people who maybe committed some kind of smaller crime years ago. She is indeed the ICE Queen. If she even has a heart, it’s made of ice, too.

Well, this is not really how she looks, except by her own choice. She was attractive before she did her Mar-a-Lago makeover! Google photos of her pre-Trump. She’s unrecognizable.

Annie D Stratton's avatar

I agree with Laura about women being judged for their appearances, something I"ve experienced and don't like. But Andy's right, Noem chose this. It's the thing some people do when they are too insecure to be themselves. She looks like she was taken out of a box with accessories (fatigues, combat boots, AR-15, makeup kit, a set of changeable hair extensions. Her skin looks like silicon with a little extra in the lips. Is there one of those little pullstrings in the back that makes it sound like she's saying something?

Trump is the same way. Maybe scarier. His is starting to deteriorate- something Kristii has to look forward to.

Expand full comment
Annie D Stratton's avatar

Sean, just because there is a Kristi Noem doesn't mean she is representative of women in the US. I don't personally know anyone who is into that kind of self-mutilation. I just know they exist, both male and female, because the media is so into covering them. I've seen some very young women wearing fake eyelashes, but they are naive and grow out of it. Nearly all of the women (and men) (and children) I know are nice to dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and especially sheep (I know a lot of spinners and sheep-keepers). So you don't have to "look forward" to the way we populate the US. We already do.

Thank you for the link to illustrate the bizarre transformation. I think she was quite pretty before. What could make someone do that? It so extreme! I think there are a lot of people laughing all the way to the bank who have sold millions of women the idea that gluing plastic to your nails is better than your actual nails and shaving your eyebrows and drawing some on instead is a good think to do, and so on. I came of age in the early-mid 70s so I never understood how and why to do make-up on myself, so that's my bias about all this. Looking at all these MAGA women with artificially sculpted faces just really gives me the willies.
