    I know nothing about this guy at all other than the awful person he is(was?) married to. What is this even about?

    tl;dr

    You know the lady who was in charge of ICE? She shot her dog in the head and bragged about it in her psychotic autobiography.

    Apparently her husband has a bimboification fetish. She didn't know about it until after it showed up on the news.

    Wait, she didn't know? I'm not sure how much I believe that, but also if true, wtf‽ Tell your spouses shit like this people, sharing your kinks in a marriage is good for it, and sharing things you can be blackmailed about is fucking vital if married to a politician.

    Also, how the fuck do you hide hiring sex workers from your spouse‽

    She knew. Apparently, last Fall she blurted out to a reporter that her husband is gay. Whether he really is or not, or she's just a dumb MAGA who thinks everybody who doesn't want to touch her with a 10 foot pole is gay, she was obviously aware that something was up.

    I agree with you in general with people needing to share their kinks with their spouses.

    But there's absolutely nothing more that I wish for Kristi Noem to have, than a horrible fucking life that constantly falls apart and ends with her dying in a puddle of her own vomit in the middle of the road because she had nowhere to stay and everyone refused her shelter.

    It's a better death than she, and her ex-peers in the trump admin deserve for their crimes and deaths to the American people. But don't think for one second that she deserves a single iota of sympathy from you here.

    I hope her marriage falls apart publicly, and her next one, and the one after that, and so on. Until the US version of Nuremberg trials happens (which unfortunately, will be never)

    Wait, he's into "Bimbofication?" As in, the process of turning a non-bimbo into a bimbo?

    Then why'd he marry Kristi?

    am I misunderstanding what a bimbo is? isn't Kristi Noem already firmly placed on the bimbo meter?

    like sure not at the top, but definitely on the meter.

    all maralago faces are bimbos, but not all bimbos are maralagos

    A Daily Mail investigation published on Tuesday, March 31, reportedly uncovered online messages and photos of Bryon, 56, participating in online fetish forums. The photos, some of which include Bryon's face, show the former first gentleman of South Dakota dressed in pink hot pants and massive fake breasts apparently made of balloons.

    He also reportedly paid at least $25,000 to chat with online fetish models in the "bimbofication scene," which fetishizes performers who turn themselves into real-life dolls by using silicone injections and surgical enhancements.

    DM reported that the messages show Bryon praising the models and stating that he loves "huge, huge ridiculous boobs." He also reportedly alluded to his marriage to the high-ranking government official.

    In a statement shared with the New York Post on Tuesday, a representative for Kristi said, “Ms. Noem is devastated. The family was blindsided by this, and they ask for privacy and prayers at the time."

    The fact that he’s into bimbofication makes so much sense, even if she didn’t do it strictly for him.. (mar-a-lago face is political bimbofication as far as I’m concerned)

    Bet he was real encouraging.

    Unsubstantiated rumor mill gossip from a highly disreputable "news" organization. Not saying it's not true or that he's not a weirdo, I mean he's married to a literal demon so we know his judgement ain't great. Just, y'know, consider the source (the Daily Mail). The entire state of South Dakota has seen their divorce coming for a long, long time, some there speculate this is something she put out in order to kickstart the process so she and Corey Lewandowski can finally go public with their relationship. And their untrained pet-murdering business.

    Everybody save this image. Take it to staples, and have them print out 200 copies.

    Now put them in a box. And wait 2 years.

    Now put them on telephone poles all over your city. C'mon. If we all do it on the same day, without context, across the country, we could REALLY confuse a LOT of people!

    I personally feel that's a separate thing from his dressing up and then posting these photos with his face fully visible online. I mean, sure, he's clearly into the bimbo look. But he's been married to a politician long enough to understand that these photos could be widely shared once online, and the kind of damage it would do to his wife's career as a conservative plus the security risks that the photos could create.

    Like others in this thread are saying, I don't think it's a big deal for someone to cross dress or have a bimbo fetish. But I'm not a conservative "star" like his wife is.

    I was getting more J.K. Simmons vibes. (Plus, IDK, maybe Dolly Parton? for obvious reasons.)

    But it's really just the weird lighting angle in that picture; he doesn't look all that much like either Ermey or Simmons in "normal" image search results of him.

    Alrighty, then. Let's continue mocking a likely trans person on the day of trans visibility for the crime of being married to Kristi Noem.

    Though the vibe from the comments is that their crime is being trans.

    If this is the way that he wants to be, it's hypocritical that he stays with a woman like noem, who has shown to be hostile to anybody different than "normal". And it's hypocritical for her for the opposite reason, because I'm positive she knew about it if he spent that much money.

    I didn't say he probably killed a dog. I said he actively supported a dog-killing, family-breaking, hatred filled monster of a woman. That makes him a peice of shit.

    Do....do you not support the person you are married to? What a ludicrous question. Are you or have you ever been in a romantic relationship before? Mutual support is, like, the basic fundamental principle.

    I seriously can't get over what a strange question that is. Like an alien who has only heard of humanity before.

    What a strange question to ask what he's done to be mocked for crossdressing?

    I've been in relationships before. That doesn't mean I cosign everything my partner does.

    And, I don't know, maybe a wild hunch, but maybe they are estranged and married in name only? Maybe she's taken a wild turn recently? I don't know their personal life.

    I'm not even defending Byron. He probably is a piece of shit. But he's not a public person as far as I know and hasn't done anything wrong that I know of. And no one in this thread has listed a single thing he's done wrong other than being married to a reprehensible person.

    So I don't think he's fair game for mockery at all, and especially not for crossdressing, especially not for things done in private, and especially not by purportedly tollerant people until I hear he's done something wrong, not just been around someone who has.

    You can feel however you want. My conscience is clear.

    And mine is too. She murdered a dog years ago. This wasn't a recent issue. She has been a public figure, and reprehensible, for years. And he chooses, every single day, to be married to her. Even if it is in name only, it is still a sign of support for her. He's a shitty person and not deserving of the respect I give other people, so I'll mock him as I can, not for being a cross dresser, because cross dressing is NOT something that I view as mockable, but for being a shitty hypocrite. As such, my conscience is clear, and I just woke up from sleeping like a baby.

    Why wouldn't your conscience be clear? Unless you know these people, there's absolutely no reason to have a guilty conscience about what they've done.

    Seems to me you don't mind defending ICE. You should feel guilty about that.

    Are partners in abusive relationships complicit in and supportive of their own abuse?

    Can you conceive of being in a relationship without actively supporting everything your partner does?

    Do you think the wives and husbands of murderers are morally deficient if they don't divorce their spouses in jail?

    For that matter, do you think Kristi Noem's justification of killing the dog is so impossible that her husband could not possibly believe it to have been reasonable?

    This guilt-by-association is ugly and wrong. Some corners of the internet fetishise cutting off all contact with people the moment they transgress, but most people are in fact more forgiving than that, and so should they be.

    I do think that people can be abused to the point of supporting their spouses, but I see no reason to give this shitbag the benefit of the doubt. What makes you think her husband doesn't support her? Would you stay married to her? What is there to forgive here? She campaigned on repugnant points, she supports Trump, she led ICE and she kills dogs. This is not a single transgression, she is a monster. He chooses to stay with her and not speak out against her. That is support.

    So silence, in your interesting world, is the same as support? I think silence is silence, and support is support. If your partner decides to quit their job and pursue a new career in the arts or as a nurse, and the must you can muster is to say nothing, I don't call that being supportive. I think you only call it support when you want to criticise someone.

    What makes you think her husband doesn’t support her?

    I prefer to not publicly shame people for the actions of their family and for their sexual predilections. I prefer to be silent (note - not supportive) unless there is evidence of they themselves doing something wrong.

    She campaigned on repugnant points

    Did he?

    she supports Trump

    Does he?

    she led ICE

    Did he?

    and she kills dogs.

    Does he?

    Sorry to belabour the point, but I think it bears repeating. You know there are families where different members voted different ways? In recent years in my country, a colleague of a friend of mine was the father of someone who became prime minister. The friend divulged that their politics were very far apart, and you know what he did? He said absolutely nothing. So silence doesn't mean agreement, either.

    FATHER. You do not choose your father. This is not her brother, sister, father or cousin, son or daughter. This is her husband. Who CHOOSE to be her family. Who chooses her every day. It's bizarre to me you don't think being married is support.

    You said that silence is support, do you in fact agree it must be something else, if a father remaining silent is not supporting his child?

    You don't know what's going through this man's mind every day. You don't know if he's filed for divorce or wracked by indecision. You don't know and don't care, because to you he's just the enemy, with no inner life or personhood at all, to be mocked and shamed for actions he didn't take, for beliefs he may never have had, and for sexual preferences you think are fair game as long as they belong to someone you hate.

    I'm not saying you have to go cuddle the guy for goodness' sake.

    I am judging a man by his actions. I do not have access to his inner thoughts. If he wants to be judged based on his ideas, he must live by them. I am not saying silence is support. I am saying choosing her as his wife every day is support.

    But you don't know that he "chooses her every day" because that choice is something that happens or does not happen inside his mind. There are people saying in this thread that they're separated. How would that be "choosing" her for example?

    His actions are not actions. They are inaction. He has not divorced her. He has not spoken out against her.
