“The family was blindsided by this, and they ask for privacy and prayers at the time,” Kristi Noem’s representatives reacted in a statement to The New York Post.

Fuck that noise.

[-] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 103 points 2 weeks ago

Privacy for the ghoul in charge of ripping people from their homes in the middle of the night? Fuck you.

Prayers for what? To have God help them stop being shitty and hypocritical? Fuck you again.

[-] EtAl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I love how they treat a family member being outed as a cross dresser like a death in the family. That so tracks.

[-] Wataba@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 weeks ago

That's the kind of society they're actively trying to achieve.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago

I'll pray for them, but they won't like it if my prayers are answered

No, I think I get it now. This is the excuse she will use to jettison the husband, and spend more time with her boy toy

Why? I'm praying for them right now. Praying that they get double cancer.

So this is the drag queen we were supposed to be worried about?

I wish my local movie theatre had this level of projection.

[-] crandlecan@mander.xyz 11 points 2 weeks ago

It's called iMax, no?

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 116 points 2 weeks ago

How was she supposed to keep track of what happens in her own home while she was jetsetting around on her fuck plane with her subordinate?

[-] homes@piefed.world 33 points 2 weeks ago

Does Lewandowski really count as her subordinate if he was the one who was running the show the whole time? all she really did was get her hair done, shoot ads for her YouTube channel, and get fucked in the back of a private jet. And then later in front of Congress.

[-] Throbbing_banjo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 94 points 2 weeks ago

"I don't give a fuck who they're screwing in private

I wanna know who they're screwing in public"

This bitch puts children in cages. Ridicule and shame her and her family for hypocrisy all you want, it's well deserved, but the fact that this even matters is pretty wild.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 19 points 2 weeks ago

The only acceptable target for bullying is MAGA. Open season.

These fucking people... It's literally all projection, always.

The party of "traditional family values," everyone. If we manage to hold anything even remotely resembling free and fair elections in the future, the first order of business afterwards will need to be replacing all upholstery any of them have touched.

[-] Bloefz@lemmy.world 38 points 2 weeks ago

Nothing wrong with crossdressing. Though it sounds like he sent some of the pictures to others without consent which is much more of a problem of course (harassment)

But if he wants to dress up as a girl, why not.

[-] DioramaOfShit@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

He didn't dress up as a girl. He dressed up as a man, with giant knockers.

[-] Bloefz@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Yes true, I saw the actual pics after. It looks less like a real crossdresser to me and rather like a sophomoric joke that leaked.

I made that point elsewhere in the thread but I hadn't seen the pic when I made the above comment.

[-] Mantzy81@aussie.zone 30 points 2 weeks ago

Isn't she screwing someone else anyway. All these people are hypocrites. If they say they hate cross-dressing, they love it. If they say they are Christian, they're anything but. If they say they have good family values, they're having affairs. Standard.

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago

Why the fuck should we care? I think he would look awesome in a dress.

[-] snooggums@piefed.world 42 points 2 weeks ago

Because he is the spouse of a member of the party that is villifying drag and trans folks.

Kristi Noem 'blindsided' by report about her ~~cross-dressing husband~~ wife

[-] tacoplease@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago

Blindsided please. That's was the agreement that let her screw Corey in taxpayer paid aircraft. She's blindsided that now everyone knows.

[-] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 23 points 2 weeks ago

Regardless of his actions, she still loves him as a member of her family. Just like her dog.

[-] NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

It will be interesting to see MAGA’s take on it. Is finding a new partner ok to them in this scenario, or should she be the subservient all-accepting wife?

I don’t often want to know MAGA’s opinion on anything, but to watch them come to an impassable intersection of their values will be fascinating.

I wonder how this ties into all the cosplaying she was doing, at taxpayer expense.

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 weeks ago

Cross dressing is now illegal in Ohio. In a bill that is vaguely worded and will be enforced very subjectively because nature didn't clarify what clothes are masculine and feminine

[-] WesternInfidels@feddit.online 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Things are bad; I'm not going to argue that things aren't bad. I'm not a lawyer, I eat crayons.

That Ohio bill hasn't been passed yet. I don't know how likely it is to pass. Too likely, I guess.

It also doesn't dictate a blanket ban on cross-dressing. What it does do is put "performers or entertainers who exhibit a gender identity that is different from the performer's or entertainer's biological sex" into the category of adult entertainments like stripping, meaning it's restricted in the same ways. No kids allowed. That's lines 153 to 165 here.

That's very big, it's very bad, it's very stupid, it's mean, it's anti-freedom. Un-American, I'd say. It would seem to create problems with Bugs Bunny, Harpo Marx, Monty Python, etc. But the most obvious thing it's targeting is "Drag Queen Story Hour."

But it isn't a ban on cross-dressing in general. Yet.

Edit: If you live in Ohio, you can find and contact your state Senator regarding House Bill 249, the "Indecent Exposure Modernization Act," through this page.

Is she going to shoot him because she couldn't train him? Or does she only do that to dogs?

Nice distraction. But isn't the real issue murdering americans then calling them terrorists to justify it? Or forcibly deporting tons of people with no due process?

No, the problem is her husband dressed up with fake tits.

[-] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 weeks ago

F’n blindside her again & repeat as often as necessary. And people, next blindside? With feeling please. And a 1 anda 2 anda 1234

Krusty Gnome taking L after L. You love to see it.

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

Lol there was black mail over this?

[-] Kirp123@lemmy.world 30 points 2 weeks ago

I mean if the Daily Mail found it then you can be sure that foreign intelligence found it way earlier. There's a reason you're supposed to do background checks and vetting for high level government officials. Since Trump doesn't give a shit about all that I wouldn't be surprised if more of his cronies aren't actively being blackmailed.

[-] tburkhol@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Also possible that Daily Mail found it out from foreign intelligence, maybe even as a consequence of Noem losing her value as a source.

I dont know why I should care about this. Is this supposed to be politics?

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago

This is the party accusing drag Queens of pedophilia. They decided to make this politics instead of real issues in society.
