The way that you treat your dogs shows a lot about your character. Republican Christian Nationalist Kristi Noem kills her puppy with a gun. Iowa Faith Leader Coalition member Kelley McAtee advises her dog training clients that their pooches might be harboring the spirit of Satan. Donald Trump, for his part, refuses to be house trained, throwing cheeseburgers at the wall, shouting at his aides, and refusing to pay the workers who do construction labor on his swanky digs.

Also, country music gets things back to the basics, and cuts through all the rational arguments of who’s right and wrong to put forward a more authentic way of life. That’s why this episode is the first of Stop Christian Nationalism to feature an original country song. This one is called Go On Home Kristi Noem.

We just might make this a regular feature.
