    Nancy Pallozzi, Jefferson County Republican Party Chair, said in a statement posted on social media that the group had initially thought the timing for the fundraiser was “perfect,” since the South Dakota governor’s book, "No Going Back," comes out soon. But attitudes have changed towards Noem, as examples of her cruelty towards animals continue to make headlines.

    lmao, i love republican high office aspirants' book titles.

    • Mitt Romney with No Apology: The Case for American Greatness
    • Sarah Palin with Going Rogue: An American Life
    • Mike Pence with So Help Me God

    they try to go hard and be some call to arms, but it invariably comes across as weak and feckless, or just plain unhinged. i particularly enjoy the rhetorical genre of a prospective leader insisting that their uncompromising certainty of their rightness is their most valuable and critical asset as a leader. like follow me, even if we make a wrong turn, i will stay the course.

    the book title, telling the anecdote about blowing away your puppy and then doubling down on it when the reaction is bad. fuckin' A

    NO GOING BACK

    i hope she rides this story all the way to toxic obscurity and blames the dog for ruining her career when she's 70.

      NO GOING BACK

      Seriously mixed messaging from the party behind "Take America Back" and "Make America Great Again."
