She was quite pretty. She did this to be on that idiots team? ---

Good call, and obvious. She blasts dogs because she can’t train them. That’s perfect for the administration really. ---

See, I have no problem with any of that. I say, you do you, live your best life Bryon. It’s the “married to a monster” part that I criticize him for. ---

Speaking of which, the Daily Mail is paywalled, but Google “Byron Noem” and you’ll find salacious details in similarly august publications like the New York Post. I’m glad Kristi and Byron’s kids are adults, though it’s gotta be painful for them at any age. For Kristi, not an ounce of sympathy. May her humiliation be unending. ---

> [@CairoCarol](#): > > Well said. As long as it doesn’t exploit or injure anyone, who cares what turns him on? Once again, it’s just that the people who are the loudest about how anyone who lives an alternative lifestyle is sick/evil/perverted/coming for your children are invariably the ones waist-deep in it themselves. It’s not the kink, it’s the hypocrisy. If it were, say, Kamala Harris’ husband, the right would be shouting that it proves the Democrats are a bunch of freaks who want “transgender for everyone” and are going to forcefem your kids in elementary school. But here it’s a Republican woman married to a closet crossdresser and openly carrying on an affair, and they want prayers and privacy. ---

It’s apparently not the actual queer/kinky/adulterous sex they object to, it’s the lack of hypocrisy. As long as you make an effort to lie about what you’re doing and claim that you hate all the other people who do what you do, it’s not a sin. Or something. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > But here it’s a Republican woman married to a closet crossdresser and openly carrying on an affair, and they want prayers and privacy. From what little I’ve read, the _family_ wants “prayers and privacy,” which even if they don’t deserve it is understandable - as egregious and hypocritical as Kristi/Bryon are, they have loved ones who are presumably blameless (though who knows; maybe the children are huge promoters of right wing evil) and who will suffer as a result of the scandal. Still, I’ll be curious to observe whether Republicans _as a whole_ circle the wagons on behalf of the Noem family. I am guessing they’ll have little to no comment at all, and will simply leave the Noem family hanging out to dry. Trump was furious with Kristi because she wasn’t making him look good. Why would Republicans waste any time protecting her now? Even silence is hypocritical, of course. As you say, if it were Kamala Harris’s husband, the glee and condemnation would be non-stop. ---

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Kristi herself leaked this. Gives her an excuse to divorce him and be with Corey. ---
