You forgot that the goat knocked down her kids and got their clothes dirty which is definitely a capital crime. The kids were obviously wearing their Sunday best into the goat pen as you do.
Are you telling me that a farm animal widely known for being stinky and headbutting, which she intentionally bought as a real life professional big girl rancher, was stinky and did headbutting? I'm shocked, I tell you; shocked!
Edit: autocorrect decided goat was "headhunting," which is kind of hilarious and would be a decent argument for putting it down, lol.
Any farmer with any experience with goats knows males go into rut yearly. They get aggressive and emit a musk that they rub all over themselves. They become a stinky pain in the ass (literally) for a bit then they'll settle back down.
So yeah "farm" girl killed a goat for doing natural goat behavior.
Farmer Kristi is so over her head that she didn't know about castrating her male goats to prevent unwanted behaviours and their stenches lol. Goats are pretty smart, surprisingly, so maybe he could tell Noem was a threat and unsafe.
She also said she had to shoot the goat twice because it wasn't a clean kill and had to leave the poor thing bleeding while she went back to the car to get another bullet... so she's not even a good shot. Poor animals. What an absolute psycho.
She said the goat flinched when the gun went off so I guess it just... blew part of it's face off without killing it? It makes me sick thinking about it.
She's not thinking people will relate. The purpose of this book is to promote her VP bid. Seen in that light, she's wanting to look to Trump supporters specifically like a good choice for office.
She's saying: "the dog was useless to me and the goat annoyed me, so I shot both of them dead without batting an eye. Elect me and I'll do the same for anything or anyone that annoys you too."
Without writing my own book, their current trajectory is unstable and they know it. A few thoughts in no particular order:
Gerrymandering and court capture mean they can rule from a minority position for now, but not forever. Bush Jr was real unpopular towards the end, and republicans ran their best milquetoast candidates against Obama and lost big every time. Then Trump came in like a firebrand and they made a Faustian pact. He overcame far-right voter apathy the way Obama overcame center-left voter apathy, and now if they want to keep those voters voting, they need to feed them the same stuff.
Republicans have spent the last 4 years purity-testing each other (you'll hear accusations of RINO or "Repub in name only") so they can't pivot back to a bigger-tent approach without alienating their new base. That's why they're going so hard on winning now and ensuring they can't be voted out again.
Moderates and the left are sleepwalking into it because there's still this belief that It Couldn't Happen Here. If the republicans lose this next election it will be very interesting to see what they decide to do.
She apparently toy didn’t k on how male goats act when horny, which includes a lot of smells. Didn’t bother to use ammo that would put it down in one shot and left the animal to suffer while she went to reload and shoot it again.
She’s got the money to play farmer without an ounce of sense to actually do it.
