What are the folks in South Dakota saying about her? She is surely totally humiliated and has to go back to her job as Governor face everybody must be unbearably difficult. I can't help but feel bad for her and her family, but at the same time, she deserves it.

I mean, she was banging Corey Lewandoski. Im sure the ship for family embarrassment/shame has sailed.

My cousin lives near Noem’s farm/ranch and says he doesn’t think much of her anymore. That she has really changed. Other than that he doesn’t have much to say except that her father was such a nice guy.

These political people mostly seem creepy. Even the ones who seem normal at first.
Now the French Government says the stories in her book are lies.
Her biography is like an unfunny version of the Onion or the Babylon Bee.

Trump lies continuously and he tells lies that are very easy to fact check. But Trump has a personality cult so the fact that his lies are easy to fact check doesn't matter because his following doesn't care. Noem does not have that personality cult so when she lies its going to make a bigger impact on her own political career. She's doesn't have the following to insulate herself.

It's not personality cult with me and people like me. I like him because he's the first guy to do more than give lip service to what we want done. But that doesn't mean we follow the pied piper slavishly off the cliff. Trump is very pro-Israel, for example. I'm not. I'm not changing my view to match Trump's or my vote because we disagree and I think most people on the dissident right are going to be the same.
Trump may not be our ideal, but he's better than anything else that has come along.

The sad part is he may believe all this to be true...
Kristi's national profile is toast. She should to stick to government, stop talking, and slowly fade away with dignity.

Trump lies about stupid stuff that is so easy to fact check and I honestly don't have any idea why. Things people can see are different with their own eyes. TV ratings, saying he got the "biggest inauguration crowd ever", the Obama birther thing, anything involving Jimmy Kimmel, etc. These are all things that can be fact checked and honestly are not important, so why lie about them? That's what I don't understand.
Like did anyone really believe Mexico was going to pay for the wall? Does anyone really think he can do away with the 14th amendment? Does anyone think he can actually just be dictator for a day? Do people actually think these things, or is it just that he signals these are his desires and those that wish without hope for the same things cling to him?
To be honest though, he has exposed American Cultural Evangelical Christianity for what it is and I'm kind of grateful for that. Objectively (and I say this as one who has read the Bible cover to cover) he is the antithesis of what Jesus Christ was. The least Christ like person they could have come up with. I am completely fine with his secular base. If your view is simply that you like what he does and don't tie it to religion, cool. I can understand that. But this Evangelical Christian anointing of him is as anti-Christlike as one could muster. That doesn't mean that I think Biden is Christlike, but certainly the party that wears Christianity on its sleeve could have found someone that better fit.
What I hear from people who still back him are that the ends justify the means. Im ok with people who are willing to own that. The left has their moments of that too. But Trump isn't comparable to any other politician in terms of the cult following he has. People will back him no matter what he says or does. Krisiti Noem doesn't have that luxury even though she is actually less egregious.
