Wait, that would be a decent and honorable thing to request.

What did they do with the real Governor Noem?

Body double?

WTF? Has Ravnsborg been calling for Noem resignation for allowing all those COVID deaths just to please Trump?

Yes, the AG absolutely should resign after failing to prosecute the governor for misuse of a state airplane. Statutory fine of 10 times the operating cost of the plane.

Maybe she can let him stay and he can use the taxpayer funded airplane to get around.

Noem’s a real piece of scum. She’s glued herself to Trump. Over at Politico there’s a story announcing that she will be the first person to get hosted by X- El Presidente Trump for a big fundraising at Mar a lago.

She needs to show leadership here if she wants to be considered for a national office, and if she sticks with Ravnsborg he can’t help her climb that ladder.

The governor kills 2,000 South Dakotans, and her poll numbers soar.

The AG kills one South Dakotan, and he loses his job.

So she’s letting him go for being an underachiever?

He would have flown on the texas state plane, but they didn’t pay for the de-icing gear.

I see someone is making sure that she isn’t challenged to a primary for re-election.

Now that she is hooked in to the Trump network (Jr. is hosting a fundraiser at Mar-a-Grifto for her next month) she can burn bridges back in SoDak.
