LOL . . . I had not seen that before, thanks for sharing

Ellen Harris's avatar

Wow… that’s amazing and crazy—- how smart is this cat!!!

Bill's avatar

Oh dear God! And I naively thought that crap was as unhinged as it could go! It's hard to see the endpoint of this madness, isn't it. Love the cat!

carol corsaro's avatar

Ella the cat thinks the whole administration is

bat…. crazy!!🤢

Annette's avatar

my cat, Mona, agrees and she doesn't care about anything other than food and a comfortable place to sleep

Jerome Vanderberg's avatar

From old required radio announcements: "Wee paws for station identification".

Carole Nemnich's avatar

Miss Alice Silvermittens Dingleberry Chonkachonka also agrees with the consensus opinion of cats. If that despicable Noem thing was a mouse…

Lynn Tuohy's avatar

My cat Sailor can’t believe she’s still alive. One cat bite around an ankle could cause an infection serious enough to put her down for good!

Carol Lama's avatar

Ralph, my twenty-pound cat would rip her face off for a box of sea-food flavored Temptations.

Susan Fernbach's avatar

True confession time: my tuxie boy, Eddie, got to where he would eat only Temptations. I was complicit. 😢 (he didn’t die of malnutrition. He ran away from home because my neighbor’s dogs — with whom we shared a yard — tried to kill him)

Bob Graham's avatar

For the sake of Minneapolis and other ICE sites, suggest you gift Ralph to Kristi and tell Kristi to tempt him with sea-food flavored Temptations...America will thank you...

L B Rose's avatar

Merlin and Bandit will send some Temptations to any cat that helps in Noem's removal.

Susan's avatar

As do Ragnar and Ivar. Miauw!

Katherine James's avatar

My grand-dogs and grand-cat are on board.

Ann Rock's avatar

I was wondering if they put you up to this…

Bob Graham's avatar

Abbie cat also agrees...

David Toth and Fran Newton's avatar

Dogs were also deeply offended when an anonymous source reported that Noem was caught humping Trump’s leg in the Oval Office. When questioned by reporters, Noem said, “Stephen MIller made me do it.”

Dan Starr's avatar

“I would have humped the couch, but JD started growling at me.”

TOO, TOO FUNNY - thanks for the laughs!

She really is disgusting. and this just proves it.

Lourdes Brown's avatar

The goats of America also agree!

Franca Garofalo's avatar

Haha, my thought but you beat me to it.

Sean M Carlin's avatar

Thank you to the courageous people of Minneapolis that have shown us how to resist tyranny and FASCISM. You have inspired the reasonable citizens of the USA. Thank you to canine nation for telling Kristi Noem to go fuck herself, if she can’t find Cory Lewandowski!

Taisa  Markus's avatar

Minnesotans are the Ukrainians of the US.

Bill's avatar

Well-said! I grew up in Minneapolis and agree: they are the best and are nice until pushed just a little too far. Many people have made that mistake over the years...

Judy Sherwood's avatar

Thank you from Minnesota.

Ellen Harris's avatar

I’m proud to say I had to look up who is Cory Lewandowski…

Sean M Carlin's avatar

You should be proud, overall I am ashamed!

nks's avatar

Noem’s 2-legged vibrator!

Annette's avatar

it was hardly worth your time, right? Just another psychophant in the clown car.

Sean M Carlin's avatar

A very stupid and violent Clown Car

Annette's avatar

that hasn't passed inspection in a decade

Terri Smith's avatar

Those MAGA evangelicals sure turn a blind eye to adultery, huh.

misia.d's avatar

Apparently Cory is the one controlling things and Cowgirl only comes out of the trailer for cosplay photos.

Judy Sherwood's avatar

She's just there for the optics, Lewandowski and Miller are calling the shots... literally.

Mimi Wilson's avatar

IMPOOCH!

Margaret Zwald's avatar

brilliant said the cat or MEOW !

Annette's avatar

Impooch Meow! :)

Frank D Repp's avatar

If you're too chicken to join the Army and too stupid to be a cop, you're perfect for the ICE.

Margaret Zwald's avatar

especially if you have bone spurs

Betsy Groth's avatar

You win post of the day, Frank

Frank D Repp's avatar

I gratefully appreciate it, Betsy.

Annette's avatar

because you can still be a coward, but you now get to carry a gun and tear gas

Cats and dogs. Who would have thought they had more common sense than MAGA Republicans.

Bob LoBue's avatar

Wait. I thought the illegal immigrants ate all the cats and dogs. Could it be they were just making that up?

Judith Richards's avatar

🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, they were totally making that up. Thank goodness Murphy is safe.

Annette's avatar

the MAGA Republicans are sheep . . . easily dominated by dogs, and the cats are just along for fun.

misia.d's avatar

Excellent point!

Susan Moss's avatar

My labrador retriever, Fiona Hill, is uncomfortable expressing negativity. However, she has said “ if I were to trash anyone, it would be this bitch”.

Betsy Groth's avatar

Great name! Fiona Hill is a hero.

Tricia Wilson's avatar

Blue would love Fiona🐩🥰.

Don’t forget the goats of this country! I’d like to see an independent psychiatric evaluation to determine if there’s a connection between the murder of Alex Pretti and Noem’s history of killing a goat and Cricket the puppy on the same day.

In adults, a history of animal cruelty is associated with antisocial personality disorder (APD), psychopathy, and other mental health disorders characterized by violating the rights of others.

Per Noem’s own book, the goat was killed because it chased children, butted them, and smelled bad. In other words, for being a goat. Stephen Colbert deadpanned…”speaking for everybody who’s ever been around goats…if those traits meet the legal definition of ‘dangerous, a threat, or injurious to life, limb, or property,’ killing any goat would always be legally justified.”

Is there a straight line from that “legally justified” shooting to Alex Pretti?

Pretti was a US citizen with a concealed-carry permit whose legal firearm was confiscated before ten bullets ended his life.

https://southdakotasearchlight.com/2024/05/02/noems-dog-killing-was-bad-but-consider-the-goat/.

https://sdlegislature.gov/Statutes/40-1-1.

“Noem decided to kill the unnamed goat the same way she had just killed Cricket the dog. But though she “dragged him to a gravel pit”, the goat jumped as she shot and therefore survived the wound. Noem says she went back to her truck, retrieved another shell, then “hurried back to the gravel pit and put him down”. At that point, Noem writes, she realized a construction crew had watched her kill both animals. The startled workers swiftly got back to work, she writes, only for a school bus to arrive and drop off Noem’s children.“Kennedy looked around confused,” Noem writes of her daughter, who asked: “Hey, where’s Cricket?”

Hey, where’s Cricket??? In my homestate, a truthful answer to that question would have triggered a call to child protective services.

Lee Roscoe's avatar

Is there some horrible dark irony in her child being named "Kennedy"?

Paul Ehrenzeller's avatar

Her full name is RF Kennedy Jr Noem, only plausible explanation!

Betsy Groth's avatar

I would say psychopath fits the bill completely

Janeo's avatar

Serial killers often have a history of animal abuse.

Donna Fay's avatar

She should be neutered

It’s too late. She already spawned.

Insisting on their Second Amendment rights, they continued, "The only thing that stops a bad girl with a gun is a good dog with a gun."

Victoria Feldman's avatar

One of the reasons Trump can’t fire her is the Peter principle: he won’t find anyone more incompetent to fill the job.

This is a little off topic. Read to the end carefully. I got this from a Canadian friend. [I told my friend I'd use color film.]

A MORAL QUESTION

Are you as moral as you think you are?

This test only has one question, but it's a very important one.

By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally.

The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision.

Only you will know the results so your answer needs to be honest.

THE SITUATION:

You are in Florida, Miami to be specific.

There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions.

You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster.

The situation is nearly hopeless.

You're trying to shoot career-making photos.

There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water.

THE TEST:

Suddenly you see a man in the water. He’s fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris.You move closer.

Somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is.

It's Donald Trump!

At the same time, you notice that the raging waters are about to take him under forever.

YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS:

You can save the life of Donald Trump or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize-winning photo documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful Republican men hell-bent on the destruction of America.

THE QUESTION:

Here's the question, and please give an honest answer.

Would you select high contrast color film or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

J Cheng's avatar

first, 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 and second, black and white. I never want to see that orange tan (oxymoron? or just moron?) again.

Dan Starr's avatar

Neither. Super-high-resolution digital is the way to go.

Sarah McAuliffe-Bellin's avatar

That’s a hard choice

Jan Fabiyi's avatar

😂😂😂😂😂

Paul Ehrenzeller's avatar

Black and white if I have 2 cameras ready to shoot, one with color film, one with black and white film. If I only have one camera with film in it, whatever is in the camera will have to do. I wouldn’t want to miss the moment!

Annette's avatar

which is the cheapest?

Annette's avatar

I wish substack had "Absolutely F'ing LOVE" buttons

Laurie's avatar

I'd assume this raging flood was sent to an immediately Donnie-Adjacent area for a greater purpose than little old me could grok, so I'd let nature take its course. Now, if there was a dog or cat struggling, even a goat, I'd go all in, even at the risk of ruining my camera and all my stored digital stuff. But The Orange One is just so much jetsam floating by. (So, no pearly gates for me, right?)

Maggie Dunbar's avatar

Andy, I started laughing the minute I saw the picture of the dogs – didn't even need to read what they said!

Denis Pombriant's avatar

Any dog that can fog a mirror agrees!

Denis Pombriant's avatar

Actually, even hotdogs agree.

Ellen Harris's avatar

🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭

9 out of 10 hotdogs agree

😜
