The outlet was unable to verify Noem’s account using congressional travel documents or outside sources, it claimed, while adding that one unidentified Capitol Hill staffer described her story as “bullshit.” Another professor and North Korea expert, Benjamin Young of Virginia Commonwealth University, called it “dubious.” He added: “What would have been so critical in his bag of tricks that he would have met with an American lawmaker, this one distinctively? There’s no way.”

She's going to get grilled in interviews over this one. That's not something that she can hide in the realm of plausible deniability.

I'm nearly 65 and grew up in the country. Our uncle had a farm near us. We had taken in a neighbor's older dog when they moved and it was dangerous and unrepentant. It bit me so my parents relocated it to a pen adjacent to our barn. Somehow the dog got out and then bit my much younger sister. So my uncle came over, took it out behind the barn, shot it, then dug a deep grave, and buried it with a wheel barrel full of rocks on top (so no other roaming dog in the neighborhood - or larger animal - would dig it up).

Back then, rural folks called in a vet to save livestock, not necessarily put down a dog. Dog rescues weren't a thing yet and my parents wouldn't have rehomed it anyways because they saw the older dog as a threat to children and unaware adults.

But when my uncle passed away, he didn't ask for this sad task to be included in his obituary. It's just how things were done then, but he wasn't proud of it. He simply stepped in when his family needed help.

Noem is not my uncle by any stretch. Cricket wasn't an old, unrepentant dog, but a pup in the prime of life. Many neighbors would've stepped into help rehome Cricket if Noem had only asked.

I’ve never seen her with her alleged kids. Has anyone checked the gravel pit?

Yes, farm people have always had to put down problem animals, including dogs. My mom’s childhood farm dog bit the dust at my grandfather’s hands when it kept… stealing eggs? Harassing the cattle? I can’t remember what. But they didn’t joyfully use farm animals for target practice like Noem seems to have done.

All her lies about international relations and her hatred of animals makes me wonder if Trump has already picked her. It’s not like lying is a disqualification in the media when it comes to Republicans or anything.
