Little Bo-Peep put down her sheep;
It was messy but had to be done.1<\/a><\/sup>
To get you some more, said El Salvador,
Get our goats.2<\/a><\/sup> They’re lots of fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huddled in there in their underwear,
Males gleamed all bulk and all tattoos.3<\/a><\/sup>
Weak in the knees, she told them to freeze
To selfie herself and them, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. When then-governor of South Dakota Kristi Noem discovered that her dog Cricket was \u201cless than worthless . . . as a hunting dog,\u201d she confesses, \u201cI hated the dog . . . I realized I had to put her down.\u201d She dragged the 14-month-old dog to a gravel pit, where she shot it dead. https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2024\/apr\/26\/trump-kristi-noem-shot-dog-and-goat-book \u21a9\ufe0e<\/a><\/li>
  2. Immediately after shooting her dog Cricket, Ms Noem decided to shoot a \u201cmusky, rancid\u201d uncastrated goat that chased her children and ruined their clothes. It was a little messier, but she got the job done. As she said in her book,* she was willing to do anything \u201cdifficult, messy, and ugly\u201d if it simply needs to be done. *No Going Back: The Truth on What\u2019s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward<\/em> \u21a9\ufe0e<\/a><\/li>
  3. Another \u201cdifficult, messy, and ugly\u201d thing needing doing that Ms Noem was quite ready to do: threaten the world’s immigrants, refugees, fugitives, and huddled masses with imprisonment in El Salvador\u2019s Terrorism Confinement Center if any dared to enter Trump\u2019s country illegally \u2014 or even legally.
