dammit, the sentence fragment "Nebraskan migrants walking dozens of miles in hopes of a better life in South Dakota" just popped into my head, and why now? why not an hour ago, when I was writing the damned thing

Kristi Noem really will and DOES say anything, do anything, in her ongoing quest to become DJT's VP and get the fuck out of South Dakota.

Afraid she’ll have to get in line behind the Queen of Idiot Douchebaggery- Sarah Palin.

True - plus it's important to remember that while she does look good on a horse, she's breathtakingly boring to listen to. She's very much a female Ron DeSantis.

The way to get a better life in South Dakota is to leave South Dakota.

Nebraska here ✋🏻 I happen to live on the Nebraska/South Dakota state line, and I can tell you that racist POS mean-girl bitch of a governor is talking about the 9 Native American reservations in her state. During the pandemic, she tried to force them to open their borders and they told her to take a hike. She's done her worst to try to control their sovereign nations and they just laugh at her. So I'm not surprised to hear that absolute waste of skin considers herself in the same situation as Abbott; always playing the fucking victim, when in fact, they are the soulless aggressor.

That is the best description of that lack of integrity gov.I heard in long while. Minnesota here, saying what would it look like if another bimbo governor Palin stayed in office? Well there she blows... and she has designs on the Whitehouse, please.

Then again looking at this week's clown show... go figure.

I loved watching Gov. Snackpack searching around the stage trying to decide if he should raise his hand to trash democracy. Or perhaps he heard someone crack open a pudding cup.

Thanks, Jeff, for reminding us of the weekly GOP race to the bottom. Amazing that Kristi Noem has time away from trying to ‘bolster’ her daughter’s real estate career.

Jeff, I gotta tell you all the examples you gave this morning show these individuals were home schooled then went to Trump U or a shitty little law school such as the Patrick Henry whose president was and probably still is an advisor to to Donald. These folks are melting down as reality comes fast and furious. Sooner or later they will conclude that Donald doesn’t give a chicken fried fuck about them because everything Donald touches turns to shit as I love to tell my MAGA friends. Enjoy and recharge fellow travellers.

Being a Nebraskan that lives on the South Dakota border, I can tell you that we often go to Rapid City for medical care, as no legitimate HCPs want to come to Bumfuckt Nebraska to practice medicine. So yes, Nebraskans do, in fact, cross the border on a regular basis 😂😂

You nailed it this week, Jeff. I have to say, I was wondering who you were going to select for Wednesday’s Stupid nominee. There were so many to choose from! You had an entire stage full of stupid!

Vivek and Ronnie ran close ties as my choices. Vivek with his stern stance on becoming Frumpy’s running mate, with his stupid grin, insulting behavior, and just plain stupid looking.

DeStupid is, well, where she’s one start with that?

He opens his mouth, it’s a lie.

He moves, it’s a lie.

He wakes up, it’s a lie.

Wait! That’s describing Frumpy! Is it possible we have a clone?

Yeah WTF? Isn’t that illegal? To call for civil war? Is that covered under Freedom of Speech ? cause that’s inciting violence and a whole bunch of other shit IMO. Crazy-Ass Stupid woman is what she is. She needs to stay in Alaska and keep her mouth shut. Doesn’t she have some snow to shovel or plow or something? Isn’t it dark there most of the time? She needs to go to bed and stay there. Someone spike her tea with Ambien or Valium or Xanax please and then sew her mouth shut.
