We knew it had to be inevitable: Noem has been fired. All that cosmetic surgery and dental work to please her boss didn’t help.
Unfortunately, she’s being replaced by Markwayne Mullin, one of the dumbest sad-sack MAGAs in the Trump camp. This must be the smell of war he’s been talking about.
Questions remain: will Kristi ever get her blankie back? What about her boy toy, Corey Lewandowski? I hope there’s a camera crew around when she knocks on the door of her husband, Bryon.
And of course, we all want to know who the next cabinet member to get two bullets to the back of the head. Markwayne is new, but I think he’s in a good position for it.
Alas, she hasn’t been fired so much as laterally transferred to another grift. She’s now going to be the “Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas”, whatever the hell that is. So she’s out at DHS because she tried to defend herself by essentially blaming Trump for some of her grifting and we all know how much Trump hates taking the blame for anything. But at the same time, she’s a loyal toady who will do anything the Orange Despot wants, so this new gig will probably involve some type of performative violence by her underlings, just as in her last job. They just may be performing that violence in other countries instead of our own.
So much for the “best cabinet ever”.
Did Dumb Don dump her because she was having bed parties without him? Does she keep the flying bedroom? Or does Markwayne get that? And if so, who will he have along for the…ride (bada boom)?
So many questions.
Note that Pam Bondi might be up for the axe next. She’s got some splainin to do to the House about the unmentionable files, and her show didn’t go over well the last time. And this time she can’t point at the Dow being at $50,000 because it ain’t…it’s below $48k, down like everything else and probably heading further south like everything else…except gas prices.
She should have cut Trump in on the grift.
Clearly, Noem should have shot The Old Yeller, when she had the chance.
AND “Markwayne” seems like an attempt to avoid a middle name of “Wayne”, which is known to be a sure indicator of a serial killer.
She won’t be missed.
OTOH, I’m sure there is another MAGA just as horrible to take her place.
ICE/CBP’s new job is as the secret American Gestapo thugs and terrorists.
When they aren’t hunting down dissidents, they are in charge of ethnic cleansing and the low budget concentration camps in converted warehouses.
