Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire SD residents so happy with governor...

for not shutting down, they held a parade for her...love it

South Dakota Governor Refused To Implement Stay-At-Home Orders. Her Citizens Throw Her A Parade.

We appreciate that part but she is not overly favored. Last I saw she was in top 10 for most unapproved governors.

don't be a debbie downer

Not sure I buy those stats.

Wait. Everybody didn't die?

i don't care they still threw her a frickin parade

I'll bet the people in Michigan would have a parade for their governor, but it would involve tar and feathers and a fence rail!

Seems her and Desantis and Kemp are pretty well loved right now.

[sarcasm] This state is SO blue [/sarcasm]

BTW if you look at a population density map we were into social distancing before it became cool. In this county we have had four cases and four recoveries. Three were from outside the area and one caught it from the other three. Noem is a successful rancher which means she's demonstrated that she's a down to earth. practical person.

Well, that's something,

But our county, in California no less, hasn't had a single case (yet) much less a death.

Not sure about parades, but I went to town and didn't get arrested, not even hassled, for not wearing a mask.

But, that said, I might still like you governor over Gavin boy.

Nighthawk hit it. Noem is well approved by the majority of voters in SD. She has been on top the Corona from day one. She signed open carry right after her inauguration. No one is perfect but she is as close as one can hope for. Especially for a politician. MB

I love SD.

until the CV situation she was NOT approved in SD. She paid an out of state firm to come up with the slogan "Meth..we're on it." To deal with SD drug issues. Yeah..a million dollars for that. Then she replaced a couple of cabinet members with her family members.Nepotism? Daughter and son in law. Each had 0 experience. Yet somehow they got a $20k raise immediately. SD passed a tax law to help with money for schools. She broke that law and decided to give 0. The state crushed her for that so then she relented. The people in this state were so disgusted with her they beat her up bad in the press/state etc. And she deserved it. Rumor has it she was so stressed from it she broke out in shingles and disappeared for awhile. She was NOT liked until this pandemic. Fact. She was at an all time low until about March.
by the way...majority of state is NOT in favor of open carry. Our State PD advised against it but she did it anyway. Dont' listen to experts right? She is a farmer with not much knowledge of politics. She rules with what makes her family business successful. Money to farms and bring in as much non res hunters as she can. She has a game farm. So screw the locals...make me money!

I’d hit it.

And this is why don't buy polling data. Polls show the Michigan Governor is highly thought of and is popular while the SD is unliked.

I wonder if they are still polling the same people who said Hillary would win in 2016...

funny , I never heard any local citizens whining about the issues you bring up


youd think constitutional carry would be popular with a guy that posts to a gun board , but I guess not

the legislature passed constitutional carry 3 times I think before we finally had a good governor that would sign it , I think that does say something about the opinion of the states citizens on that issue

I dont give a dam what the state cops or sheriffs association thinks when it comes to my rights

for your information SD has always had open carry

Personally, I'm a big fan of the Governor, the State of South Dakota and would live there.

sdgunslinger good post. Verg must be some kind of democrat who voted for the roll around [bleep] she ran against for governor. Never heard of the issues he mentioned either but they smack of Democrat campaign language. The governors office isn't required to hire the opposition to serve as cabinet members. She did select a democrat to be the Lt governor so vegs partisanship claims are bs.SD has any political problems it's due to all the democrat legislators that switched to the Republican party so they could get elected fugging rhinos and fugg the demise. 1 issue that has kept the demmies here out of the governor's office is allways the same,their tax and spend mentality that wants them to install a state income tax.this has been rejected time after time.fugging demmies have 0 credibility and SD voters know it (the majority anyway).

But, oddly enough, the majority are apparently in favor of constitutional carry except cops and Argus Leader (Sioux Falls liberal/Democrat rag) . And cops don't like it because it doesn't make their jobs easier. The majority of cops would be happy if only cops had guns.

And as silly as it sounded "Meth. Were on it." brought a lot of attention to the problem. Everybody was talking about it. Except on the rezes where the problem is devastating. Not much the state can do about that.

Republicans control the governorship and the legislature and the majority of local elected offices. The Democrats are working hard to get some political traction. And they're not getting very far.

Oh, Smithfield announced the closure of the formerly Morrell's pork processing operation "indefinitely" which is code for permanently. Smithfield put money into the plant but at heart it's still an old, old, OLD plant. My long departed grandfather bought product from them for his meat market and also long gone uncles worked there. A new plant somewhere else would be more efficient. As a major employer in the state that definitely got Noem's attention and now the plant will reopen with employee safeguards.
