    For those curious about what she said to warrant the bans:

    “My next step would be to do what I can to get a tribe to participate with me to help their kids be more successful,” Noem said. “Because they live with 80% to 90% unemployment. Their kids don’t have any hope. They don’t have parents who show up and help them. They have a tribal council or a president who focuses on a political agenda more than they care about actually helping somebody’s life look better.”

      [their children] don’t have parents who show up and help them.

      [their leadership] focuses on a political agenda more than they care about actually helping somebody’s life look better.

      Every accusation is an admission…

    I’m all for indigenous sovereignty but we all need to remember settler culture in South Dakota is just different than general American culture.

    These people are just natural born dog killers. We need to accept that some people just aren’t like the rest of us.

    So she’ll be allowed back as soon as she declares herself a profitable gas pipeline?

    Who cares? She was dead in the water as soon as the puppy killing story came out.

      It may be irrelevant to your purposes but it’s not irrelevant to the families she affected.

      It’s good that their leadership is taking a stand.

        Ok. I’m very glad for those people.

        I apologize for not adequately, recognizing their victories. That was very insensitive of me.

        I always love seeing things like this, please don’t stop pointing them out. Shared perspective is the only thing that’s going to allow us to come together.
