This governor is playing politics while Covid-19 burns through her state

South Dakota is, by any measure, one of the hardest-hit states by the coronavirus surge in the United States right now. Yet, amid a rapidly worsening situation Governor Kristi Noem is making sure people know that if President-elect Joe Biden moves to institute a national mask mandate, she won't comply. In his latest episode of The Point, CNN’s Chris Cillizza explains how Noem is choosing politics over safety to propel her national standing within the Republican Party.

Plus the Sodak State Fair followed by a Rock Concert in Souix Falls. Couple from Stugis Bike week infected 284 people at a Wedding in Ghent Minnesota.

Now all hell has broke loose in Southwestern Minnesota.

If you are civil, if you are patriotic, if you observe the rule of law then you are thrown under the bus in the republican party, only the crazy make it, and the crazier the better.

What is wrong with this people? Are they ever goin to come to grips that they are full of it, that they are showing the world they are animals crawling from under a rock?

It is more puzzling to see some of these crazies who have gone to college to get a good education and then they act like they have no brain, no dignity, no morals.

will be able to use it for her spending priorities. Her copying of trump includes hiring her own unqualified children for state jobs and then giving them big raises while all the rest of state employees have to settle for a couple percent. But the republicans have a stranglehold on the state that prevents any accountability. AG does a hit and run which kills the man and keeps his job.
