Blink-and-you-missed-him Congressional explorer Toby Doeden might have sprinted away from challenging Dusty Johnson (can he sprint?) once it was revealed that he had never voted in a Republican primary over the last couple of decades, but it hasn’t put a damper on his sense of self-importance.
I had heard that he had actually attended his first Lincoln Day Dinner in Brown County a few weeks back where he was treated to listening to current Congressman and Republican Nominee Dusty Johnson give a rousing speech that energized the whole crowd. Doeden had a table, but for some reason he kept pacing and hovering by the back door. Apparently he must have been uncomfortable in a room with actual Republicans.
Anyway, if you recall, back in February, Doeden had declared he was going to endorse candidates, and had started with Fred Deutsch, who had quickly noped out of that one. After that false start, it looks like Doeden is back pretending to be Republican by declaring his love for specific candidates running in the Republican Primary.
Since Doeden’s political activity has continued to be a dumpster fire, I think we can refer to these newly endorsed candidates as “Doeden’s Dumpster Divers,” since I’m sure they’re all going to be looking for a check from Aberdeen’s Covid welfare king.
Who are Doeden’s Dumpster Divers? After going through a “vigorous vetting process to ensure they are bold conservatives,” included among their numbers are..
Did they say “bold,” when they meant “old?” Well of course Carl Perry is there. I suspect that he’s included among the dumpster diver endorsees because Toby recognizes a good “yes man” when he sees one. Although, Carl might have to ask Al if it’s ok.
If there is one candidate running in the state who embodies the values of Toby Doeden, that would be Tom Pischke. I’m told Tom may have left his position at esurance and is a full-time landlord now, which would endear him to Doeden. Plus, Tom’s embracing of xenobiotic electromagnetism and chemtrail conspiracies, and committee vote to keep those with rape convictions in the classroom, help fuel the dumpster fire to greater heights.
Where do I start with former Neal Tapio campaign worker Cole Heisey? It’s such a long list. Whether it’s rallying with the proud boys, Or telling the world that monogamy is outdated and declaring:
Out of millions of souls, one is bound to one only? When so many have so much to offer? Don’t we restrict ourselves by combining only two? And not three and four?
I’ll just stop there, because any more and we might need to be hosed down with penicillin.
Who are the other endorsees? You’ll also find D23 Senate Candidate Mark Lapka, as well as D1 House Candidates Logan Manhart and Christopher Reder. Although, they might want to reconsider and not just walk, but run away from being another endangered raccoon in the flaming dumpster.
That’s the view from driving by the dumpster fire. Best not to linger too long.
It appears that Toby Doeden has embraced the complete opposite of Dale Carnegie’s “How To Win Friends and Influence People”. Instead Doeden seems determined to be as toxic as possible.
Depending on if any of the “Doeden Dumpster Divers” make it past the primary a possible popular attraction at the Brown County Fair knowing how unpopular Doeden is up there and at other fairs is to have a Doeden Dumpster Fire Booth. Instead of a dunk tank have a “Dunk Dumpster” raising money for a local food shelf. Doeden Dumpster Fire and Doeden Dumpster Diver buttons could handed out along with infamous quotes and campaign materials.
Aberdeen historic landmark Scotty’s Drive In was destined to fail and close when Doeden purchased, changed it to Scotty’s Diner and politicized it.
Interesting that you deleted my comment about reporting on Kristi’s dumpster fire
because this is about the candidates that Toby is endorsing, not Kristi’s list
Off-topic comments are subject to deletion.
Toby Doeden, Mr Covid freedoms: endorses Carl Perry, who voted to lock people with Covid in their homes.
What are the requirements for endorsement? Because it’s clearly not policy or voting record based.
Just white, male, kisses Toby’s a$$?
Neat.
Here in the SD 1 Republican House primary, two of the Republicans running are dumpster-dive endorsed, while the sole incumbent on the ballot (St. John) isn’t. Decisions, decisions.
Those two should run as the Libertarians they are just like Doeden.
Clueless and self absorbed?
Nailed it!
Manhart’s answer to every question, regardless of topic: “family values”
Watch Saturdays Forum video — he states we should have state funding and mandates to “keep families together” and eliminate divorce…? Keep women in domestically violent relationships and unsafe, unhappy marriages? Okay, Kaleb Weis 2.0.
And Reder all but answers “Drew Dennert and Al Novstrup recruited me to run, I say what they tell me to so I can be the “legislative”. And when I am the “legislative” I will be in charge for freedom! Al and Drew told me so!”
Lord help D1, this is just sad!
Having been at the form over the weekend, I don’t believe divorce was ever mentioned in the District 1 debate. You must have been at a different forum than me.
was the subject of “keeping families together” mentioned? Maybe nonody used the word “divorce.”
How about child support? Was that brought up?
The Mad Dads are notorious for thinking non-custodial parents shouldn’t have to pay child support, the taxpayers should support their kids for them.
They think child support payments reward women for leaving abusive relationships. Did that come up?
Cole Heisey is special. I was getting Roe vs. Wade signatures at the SF Farmers Market and he told me my abortion experience was a lie and that’s why my husband left me. I had never met the guy, but he claims to know so much about me. My abortion experience is 100% true, I loved it. And I filed for divorce, and it had nothing to do with the abortion to save my child’s life. Another Saturday at the Farmers Market an older couple with their grandchild in a stroller stopped to tell me they had already signed. Then Cole Heisey offered his propaganda, they refused, so Cole followed them into the parking lot yelling at them. That’s a bold strategy to recruit people to your side.
As for Brad Windurm, he showed up at the Minnehaha Admin Bldg last year and told a Roe vs. Wade circulator he “was friends with the mayor and not welcome there”. There’s video. A couple of bystanders let Brad have it and he left.
Oops, should say “I lived it”. Damn autocorrect. No part of that did I love.
Tiffany, it’s quite apparent that you love the fact one of your babies died. You have made a career out of talking about it; what should have been a private family tragedy is now your claim to fame. Your ex-husband has been embarrassed by your behavior.
I can’t imagine how you have explained this to your child.
Anne – The only thing apparent is your loathsome comment to Tiffany Campbell. Tiffany dispels the myth of forced birthers that woman choose to abort later in a pregnancy. I am proud of Tiffany Campbell standing up to people that would rather see a mother die, or go septic or would allow a 11 year old to birth her rapist’s baby.
You are shameless and a zealot. Tiffany is a truth teller. I trust women and their doctors – why can’t you Anne Beal.
Anne- We don’t do “private family tragedy” anymore. Women will no longer be silenced. We are done with that. We will scream and shout our stories, our own personal hell, so others do not suffer the same. Using your tragedy to advocate for others, that is brave, strong and selfless.
Tiffany shared her story knowing full well that people like yourself would try to use it against her. You screwed up though, because the village around her will not relent. We are ready to fight for our rights and the rights of others.
Tiffany, that is because everybody knows you did not have an abortion. You had a procedure, a fetoscopic ablation, which saved the lives of both twins about 50% at the time. Houston now reports a 74% success rate of saving both babies, in Cincinnati the success rate is now 75% for Quintero Stages I, 2, & 3, and 82% for stage 4. If you had wanted only an abortion, you could have killed both babies in Sioux Falls. Which some of us have heard was what you wanted to do in the first place, but your then-husband wouldn’t let you.
The reason so many pro-lifers know the truth is that your ex-husband blabbed it. I am not going to tell you who relayed it to me. If you didn’t want him out there telling a different story, you should have gotten a non-disclosure agreement with your divorce. Too late now.
Your whole story is a lie.
That’s hysterical Anne, my ex-husband never said that. You guys run on rumors, and that’s all they are. You’re going to be real embarrassed when my medical records are released. Is my ex-husband in the room with you right now, Anne?
Anne – most people in Sioux Falls and greater SD know that you can’t mind your own business and like to vomit nonsensical comments to stroke your litty bitty lizard ego.
If you and your “forced birther” klan cared about children – you would fight gun violence that kills more children than accidents.
The Zealots aka SDGOP and national GOP are not interested in policy – only power.
The American People and many of the good people of South Dakota know that and deserve so much better.
Further, Tiffany does not give a chit about her ex-husband or his problems. But you sure do. What the hell is that Anne?
Anne – it’s a good thing that you’re retired because a nurse falsely claiming ill intentions of Tiffany in regard to her health while she was going through something you clearly can’t imagine is not a good look and definitely is not professional.
Anyway here’s a link to a comment section where Anne defends misogyny and sexism because of course she does.

Anne, you aren’t pro life. Stop lying. You are in favor of the Government forcing children and women to give birth. Call yoirself a Forced Birther and a champion of Big Gov; own ehat you are and stop hiding behing the lie that you care about life. Your repeated comments show you to be a cruel, callous, and grossly uneducated bully who hates life.
The lincoln day was 4 and a 1/2 hours long. No one wanted to be there that long. They let Fiegen talk for 10 minutes and everyone wanted to get taken to the gravel pit.
Dusty then spok at 4 hrs and 20 minutes into the thing.
