Noem and Vegas Consultant with Connections to Impeachment Billboards and Proud Boys Advising New South Dakota Candidates

Governor Kristi Noem has not yet made any public comment about allegations of sexual harassment against her endorsee in the Nebraska Republican gubernatorial primary, Charles Herbster. But maybe she discussed it with the five female legislators who joined her to give tips to new candidates at a reception Thursday evening:

Conducting this session for new candidates was conservative Las Vegas political consultant and frequent Trumpist fake-news talking head Rory McShane:

McShane is partners with Rob Burgess in political consulting for candidates across the country. McShane’s partner Burgess started a pro-Noem dark-money group in March and put up the billboards that attacked Noem’s Democratic challenger for Governor, Rep. Jamie Smith; Noem’s Republican challenger for Governor, Rep. Steven Haugaard; and three other Republican legislators over the Ravnsborg impeachment (which, mind you, Smith voted for last week). McShane LLC has received money from the South Point Hotel and Casino, where Noem keynoted a rodeo convention on December 1, 2021. And McShane LLC raised money to promote Trump’s Big Lie about the 2020 election results and has a VP, Woodrow Johnston, who wanted to get the sexist-racist Proud Boys to rally against the 2020 election results.

Still no word from McShane, Burgess, Noem, or anyone on Thursday’s program of these folks on whether Noem should really be endorsing a Nebraska corporate exec whose groping of women has been called “beyond horrible” by Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts.

    I guess republicans gave up on that fakey Christian stuff. No one cares about that drama anymore. Now it’s all about who can be the biggest white nationalist racist in the room. Looks like old chubby wins that one, while NOem has thoughts of her proud boy Lewandowski (see grasp of cup).

    I wonder if any of this 6 pack of women pictured know that their leader will have laws that are gonna put women in jail who happen to have a miscarriage.
    This NOem approved law, and supported by them, is due to her draconian abortion triggers that will be imposed when Roe v Wade is eliminated. A miscarriage is treated as an abortion medically. No exceptions.

    Why do women hate each other so much a feller wonders? Kinda ironic that maybe the Proud Boys can mansplain that hate to the 6 pack pictured.

    Looking good, Rory … the diet is working!

    Sheila Kennedy, as usual, hits the nail on the noggin explaining how kristians and others are changing the way they define their perception of god and it is not necessarily in human form.

    And they somehow knew to include Scott Odenbach before the Ravnsborg report was public.

    Hey, Craig Price, are Jason’s license plate tags up to date? Have any of his friends texted him jokes you don’t like this week? Or criticized a crappy judge? South Dakota needs to know!
    (/irony)

    If any criminal indictments fall on Price before the primary, Steve Haugaard’s chances of becoming governor are greater than zero, and so are Jamie Smith’s.

    The 6 pack clearly could give a damn about the hungry in South Dakota that have watched their food stamps reduced just because republican women are like republican men, they love to watch people suffer. Old Chubby has never missed a meal or an all you can eat buffet, from the looks of it, so he is their spokesperson.

    Left fingers deep in her front pocket. Right hand gripping cup in telling grasp. Stare in awe of “big” money man with dark secrets hidden within his massiveness… that’s the norm for the Noem.

    Lucky for SD Gov her campaign attire are pants as the Neb candidate likes the freedom given his hands as skirts pass by. Brings new meaning to “this ask is for you”, as the Neb candidate thinks “this ass is for me”. Keep those pants on republican women for fear of grabbers in FL and Neb. Maybe elsewhere too.

    The inept inbred Republicans we are learning exists beyond the borders of our state of inept inbred republican faces taking up valuable spaces in too many powerful places.

    Hopefully SD Independents can field winnable candidates as the Democrats cannot seem to find their just right candidate to belly up to the race. The sparrow is set to fly soon.

    What a diverse field of shiny wypipo with big hair, cute li’l girl names, and dead, vacant eyes. Almost makes me proud to be ‘Merican.
    Hey! They’re the Stepford bishes!

    Ha, Bonnie, that’s funny. I think, though, you can break wypipo down a bit. Not all wypipo are the same. When I was a student at Augie, we called a younger version of that lineup of women “typical Augie students.” If you wanted to describe a female or male version of that lineup you would say, “Oh, they are a typical Augie student. Look at any Buzzbook from the early to mid-70s and that’s 85% of the folks in there. When I was there, the wypipo didn’t have “dead, vacant eyes.” They were alive and inquisitbe. Their eyes die by joining the Republican Party, and forgetting thow o be human.

    Thank you for that field guide to wypipo over the decades, Donald Pay. (As an aside, I’ve been sternly dressed down at another site on accounta it’s spelled “wypeepo”, to my everlasting shame).
    Atonement is nigh :)

  12. Well…love the look on the Governor’s face as she reacts to her bloated hired hand reactionary, a man who never met a jelly do nut he didn’t like…I’ve seen guys like that lick the frosting off the cellophane of a Hostess cupcake. Where’d he get that sport coat?? Who is his fashion consultant..Professor Irving Corey?? …He must be a second stringer appropriate for a gathering of state legislator wannabes. The Governor has made another error of association…nothing new there.

    Addendum. Oh, Jeezus. I’ve read a few books during the last twenty years that mentioned something called “The Junior League” and I stupidly assumed the authors were being satirical. Are these white wombs members? Are they married to White Nationalists or KKK members? I am obviously confused and soooooo glad I don’t live in “The South”.

    Arlo Blundt:
    I agree with your assessment of both Rory and Kristi, but, realistically and politically, based upon the male voters I listen to in Hot Springs (Ace Hardware, Bomgaars, the smoking stations at the VAMC, and the areas I collect discarded wooden shipping pallets) EVERY male will vote for the Queen of COVID-19 in FRC.

  15. There is way too much yarn in this web .. looks like the one my 7 year old put all over our dressers and doorways this week.

  16. Spearditch is one big cemetery where the funeral home industry will be the last business to die. Did you know golfers can drive into the Rose Hill Cemetery from the ninth tee box?
