At least she didn’t use an open bid process to identity a winning campaign and the steal their IP to give to an out-of-state political ally who she thought would get her closer to Trump. .. well.. this time at least. southdakotasearchlight.com/2024/01/08/f...
Former official: Politically connected firm was 'obvious' favorite for Noem ad campaign • South Dakota Searchlight
A former Noem administration employee told legislators that a politically connected, out-of-state marketing firm seemed predestined for selection to carry out a state advertising campaign.

Snidley had an endearing villainous charm, at least. This little tyke is pretty much the unpaid incel intern that Whiplash had to let go on his first day... off a cliff.

This scares me more than my ex-governor being in charge of the whole department.

DOH! Thanks

"A Comey Stop." My grad students have been subjected to those. The stop, harassment and threats are the punishment.

They've done it here with Lakota, too (where we're told by out-of-state Blue-Anons [posting from Belarus or Santa Monica] that Noem is making ICE go light on us since it's her "home state." 🙄)

ICE seems to have little training on how to verify who they stop. They're paid by arrest, not conviction.

They participated in it. Don’t hold your breath.

Talk to the Senate about that. They had ONE job to do. *Twice.*

My entire frigging state warned all of you.

I have to believe it’s a specialized botnet just designed to troll him in retaliation for his Indian food comment.
November 26, 2025 at 5:17 PM
I think the Times is trolling you.
November 26, 2025 at 5:14 PM
And then they turned the feature off I bet.

As soon as these whiners see what you think of people who take off shoes on planes they’re going to all fly barefoot out of spite.

An eyesore in front of an eyesore. Fitting.

I thought this was a joke.

I hate this timeline.

That, or he tries EVERY case in Ft Pierce.

True. The question is, will they and can they find someone who will do it?

The clock on SoL gets an extension, so in theory, DOJ can get Comey's adequately done. Still, given the public humiliation of the real lawyers representing the State with Halligan, I think it's going to be harder to do that. They can't do everything in the Cannon's courthouse.
November 24, 2025 at 9:51 PM
Exactly. No points off for screw ups because screwups are a feature not a bug.

They’re targeting Native Americans (as in Berengial Pedestrians) too here in SD. They are running on a per-capture rubric, not accuracy.

He's not misusing a client's funds. (Just the taxpayers.) Sad but true.

Of course the Brits thought it was an honor to get whacked multiple times with a heavy clumsy axe before it hit true through the neck.

I got tired of seeing photon torpedos in the TOS movie era. I perked up when SNW’s Enterprise fired its first phaser in that disturbing one with the kid but afterwards saw that they went back to boring ones. All we have now are fan vids.

TWOK phasers are the angriest phasers.
