Can we all acknowledge that we've reached a place where a political strategist can tell Kristy Noem to "tell the hell out of that killing the dog story"? Because the benefit to triggering the left outweighs any penalty (if there even is any) for casual cruelty on the right. There was an obvious reaction that she was trying to get, and she got it. She's closer to becoming POTUS today than she was before the story broke. America, where it's politically prudent to kill a dog to own the libs.
