    … How they paid to look.

    Noem paid someone maybe even hundreds of dollars - and took time off work - to look like that.

    To quote liberal Amber Ruffin when shown a picture of Kristi Noem circa 2012ish on an episode of Have I Got News For You: “oh my god, she’s actually beautiful.”

    Look, body dismorphia is a thing. Women in public are critizised for aging normallt. No getting around that, but that doesn’t mean we can just ignore the fact that when ignoring the option of therapy, she asked for “Sad 90’s Pornstar Face #44283” at the bargain basement plastic surgeon as a way to win favor in with the GOP.

      And she was beautiful. Look at this.

      But then she somehow felt the need to turn into plastic conservative barbie and I don’t understand why. And I can’t honestly believe that (conservative) men prefer the current face over the previous one, even when she ‘ages normally,’ as if that’s a problem in the first place.

        She really was.

        And yeah, I’ll never understand how the overlap of tradwives and rruining one’s face works. Logic is the only way to not understand it.
