South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, a MAGA Republican shortlisted as a potential running mate for Donald Trump in November, is now legally barred from visiting some 10 percent of the lands in her home state—and can be thrown out of those places if she violates the order.

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Council voted on Tuesday to formally banish Noem from its reservation over recent public statements she made suggesting, among other things, that Native American tribal leaders are in league with Mexican drug cartels. Noem also recently accused Native American parents of not being involved enough in their children’s lives, blaming them for poor academic performance in tribal areas.

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is the third Lakota tribe in South Dakota to declare Noem persona non grata, following a banishment by the Oglala Sioux announced March 18, and another by the Cheyenne River Sioux announced April 5. The State of South Dakota does not have criminal jurisdiction on any of its nine Native American reservations.

      Lack of fat is not equivalent to fitness. Her arm looks like I could touch fingertips if I grabbed around her upper arm…

        You have no idea what you’re talking about if you think that isn’t a strong as fuck female arm. If you have giant hands you could maybe wrap your fingers around and touch them together. My wife and I are both rock climbers and have climbed at a pretty high level for over a decade now. My wife is extremely fit and her arms look similar to that ladies. Some men can wrap their giant hands around my wife’s biceps, that doesn’t mean my wife isn’t fit as fuck.

          Again, you are assuming fitness level off of aethetics, which is utterly and completely missing the point.

            Yeah usually you can tell if someone is fit by looking at them. Now please, enlighten me? What is your point?
