Girls Stater Expelled After Posting Photo of Noem and Anti-Trump Message

http://dakotafreepress.com/2019/06/16/girls-stater-expelled-after-posting-photo-of-noem-and-anti-trump-message/

Some teen posted a picture of the Gov. of S.D. with some verbiage of (paraphrase) "Impeach Putin's puppet" in the foreground on a coffee mug.

Somehow the Governor spots the image, and gets the girl kicked out of the event IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT.

Jesus wept.

South Dakota is all wrapped up with the Russians. S.D. Sen. Rounds got oligarch money for a failed beef plant. Maria Butina was shacking up with a GOPee clown from South Dakota, while she funneled Rubles to the NRA, who then gave money to the GOPee.

So I wonder why Gov. Noem is so defensive? She is corrupted by rubles too.


Further: Why are adult South Dakota women so Seig Heil-y?

An adolescent girl attending a Girls State event took a photo of the governor.
(If I knew how to post pictures at DU, after all these years, I'd post it, plus the one with the Nazi Thune. Alas.)

The governor must have been prowling social media to find stuff. Which is a weird use of her time.

The governor punished the adolescent girl for exercising her rights by kicking the girl out of the event, at midnight, no less.

I just get upset by the in-your-face Fascism in the state where I was born, and the state that neighbors the state I live in now.

The story at the link does a good job of explaining the (non) sense of the jackboots harassing children from their seats of power in Vermillion and Pierre.

Nolite te bastardes carborundum, Ms. Howard.

The group that sponsors Girls State events (and Boys State as well) is wing nutty.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Legion

In 1923, American Legion Commander Alvin Owsley cited Italian Fascism as a model for defending the nation against the forces of the left.[75] Owsley said:

If ever needed, The American Legion stands ready to protect our country's institutions and ideals as the Fascisti dealt with the destructionists who menaced Italy! ... The American Legion is fighting every element that threatens our democratic government—Soviets, anarchists, IWW, revolutionary socialists and every other red ... Do not forget that the Fascisti are to Italy what The American Legion is to the United States.[76]

The Legion invited Mussolini to speak at its convention as late as 1930.[76]


The organization also heaped praise on Charles Lindbergh, who also turned out to be a fascist.

Good to know.

Noem's in the pink jean jacket. She's a grown ass woman who is having some Eva Brauns at the American Legion Auxiliary harass a teen age girl.

against the office of the governor (K. Noem, bully) or against the University of South Dakota?

One of the Eva Braun goons that the Governor's office sicced on the teenager appears to be Cheryl Hovorka, an employee of the University, working on its behalf to host the Girls State event. Hovorka worked for both the University and the American Legion Auxiliary.

Public education + and educational week/day, whatever at Girls State, but denied to a girl based on her political views. Fuck that shit.

Here's an article on Hovorka and Girls State.

Ms. Hovorka works for the political science department. I would have guessed (incorrectly) that she would know how government and free speech works.

I believe the Badlands are considered the gateway to the west.

I think the internet is monitored everywhere, not just China.

Hence the harassment of people online, on twitter, on facebook. And hence the weapons-grade propaganda the fascists are using against Americans and people in other democracies.

No biggie, maybe you are not in the USA and don't know South Dakota is full of cowboy wild west history.
