KSFY’s Austin Goss, who’s been pretty good at catching stories in Pierre, airs speculation that Joe Desilets has lasted as Kristi Noem’s campaign manager for barely six months:
Noem named Desilets as manager of her campaign last November 12. Desilets still says he is “Leading Team @KristiNoem” on his Twitter profile. Desilets has tweeted 103 times in the 200 days since his appointment, roughly one tweet every two days, but he has been Twitter-silent since April 22.
Six months is actually a pretty good run for Desilets; on LinkedIn, Desilets says his campaign manager stints in Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Florida, Virginia, and Colorado all lasted a half year or less.
Not sure if Noem got conned by her campaign manager, or not. Trumper’s got conned by a “Joe Desilets” in 2016. Maybe a different guy with same name.

Oh my…Personnel issues in the Governor’s camp. What else is new???
I knew Chris Hupke before he was aware of anything in his world. His Dad, Leo whom Chris is a dead ringer, was head football and baseball coach at Washington of Cherokee back in early 70s. He has 2 brothers that I am aware of, Ben and Dewey.Duane.
For those of you interested, here is a video showing Willie Nelson’s guitar being fixed. I know it is off topic, but, “Trigger” will likely outlast all magats.

Chris Hupke is a Grade A certifiable a–hat.
If he’s tied in with Noem Nothing and drumpf, he is likely worse than an ass hat.
Well…Despite her earnest and persistent efforts, the Governor’s nation wide campaign for a higher federal office in 2024 has failed to gain traction and she has fallen back to become just another plodder in the ranks of a 100 other Republican aspirants for Trump’s crown. The time to take action is now and a change of direction at the campaign manager level was indicated when she drew the Junior Varsity assignment of rallying the Party loyalists of San Marcos, Texas. Enough “off the map” trench level work. She is a Fox News “go to” guest and should be treated as such. She has spent a good deal of time, effort and air miles on her campaign and it is time it started paying dividends.
It’s always someone else’s fault. Never the person in the mirror.
Was Desilets working in collusion with Craig Price or other executive branch officials to push the impeachment of the attorney general? A criminal investigation implicating Desilets would seem to correlate the available data better than a mere nondisclosure agreement.

Kurt, we are all colluding with Craig Price. to impeach Jason Ravnsborg. Noem wouldn’t fire Desilets for that.
Everything that has happened to Jason Ravnsborg since 9-12-20 is the fruit of his own labors.

I’m not saying she has. I’m only saying a criminal investigation implicating Desilets would seem to correlate the available data better than a mere nondisclosure agreement.
