The outrageous bill (paid at taxpayer expense, of course) for Kristi Noem's cowgirl cosplay propaganda ad has been revealed. $4000 for her hair and makeup, $20,000 for horse rental. The total cost of the ad was $143 million, paid to a company created 8 days prior. 'Pecunia non olet', but #corruption does. https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-crazy-bill-for-ice-barbies-cowboy-cosplay-is-revealed/

Jeezycreezy these people are so grifty. 20k to rent a horse? You can buy a damn fine Arabian race stock for less. You can buy a Percheron for that. That's like three, maybe four normal horses.

I tell you what, I'da loaned them Lloyd for free. Lloyd's a turbo horse, he eats pear cactus, which gives him gas, which startles him, and he toots and goes running off down the canyon. I'm just saying, watching Lloyd canter away with Noem atop...well ma'am, that's the kinda thing a country girl dreams of.

(Edit, if I disarmed her first. We're not letting the crazy lady near Lloyd if she has weapons.)

@maeve_bkk Things like this, piling up as they do, is why a lot of people don't vote.

It's a grift now, it'll be a grift every two and four years, etc.
