I usually hate when mods delete popular threads, but this post does break Rule 1.4: "Not United States Internal News".
Thought it fell under International since Proton is a Swiss company and the FBI worked across borders for the information. lol
Because just like when she was a VP candidate, she made an absolute ass of herself, and made her boss look bad.
I'm willing to bet that her replacement will largely do the exact same thing but with better media training and less of a PR disaster.
She's being replaced by fucking Markwayne Mullin. The senator so inbred southern his first name is two actual names glued together. He's just as MAGA, and just as dumb as Noem.
Love this pic of him cowering on Jan 6th, 2021, though.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Holy fuck they’re not so good for that guy
But they were just tourists!

and made her boss look somehow worse
Right? I feel like they don't understand the gravity of how difficult this is, given the givens.
They mentioned someone in the article but I haven't looked into them yet as he doesn't seem to be part of the usual suspects.
Mullin isn't that much better, honestly.
I didn't think they would be but I didn't know how bad it was gonna be.
It's worse than the little funny clip I showed you. He has also said to deport children of deported parents. The more you look, the more you'll find.
Ahh. Yeah. Thanks for the links. I do appreciate it.
I do prefer to use links so I can to have some proof of the things I say. You're very welcome.
You expected a Nobel Laureate?
I don't expect much from anyone anymore, especially with a (R) next to their name.
It's this guy:

"That was a misspoke."
Oh. Fun. -.-
Ha Millin will be a PR disaster too
I think it's time for Tucker Carlson to step up
Wtf is the shield of America
Trump knows the avengers is fictional right?
I wouldn't count on it.
Great, now I get to be stressed until the weekend that they’re going to anounxe they want to annex all of the America’s for a missile dome.
He’s been threatening that already, but moving people and creating a project for it is a bad sign.
It was on the TV, it must be true.
Apparently she just gave a press conference and she hadn’t been told she was fired 🤣
TBF Trump immediately moved her onto some newfangled program that has even less congressional oversight while acting as a money pit, so it's not really a firing...
It was a lateral “promotion”. She was put in an unimportant box where she can’t really do anything.
Except access a ton of money and have no accountability.
The first thing I wondered when I heard the news was if she knew, because this same thing has happened before. Despite "you're fired" being the phrase that made Trump famous, outside of scripted television he's a chickenshit coward who can't fire underlings in person. He has to do it indirectly to avoid confrontations.
It is pretty fucking wild - he literally fires people on Twitter because he’s too chickenshit to do it to their face
After the second ICE Execution, she and Lewandowski had a two hour private meeting with Trump. Everyone thought she'd be fired, but they call came out with Trump hailing their success, and giving his blessing.
He's notoriously easy to manipulate. On his first visit to Moscow in 1987, the Russians were so amazed at his response to the most insincere flattery, that they identified him as a valuable asset, and gave him the code name Krasnov.
Those around him know how to smooth talk him with flattery, so when he really has to fire them, he can't do it face to face. Suzy Wiles probably won't even let him fire anybody in person anymore. When it's time to cut someone loose, don't give them the chance to talk him out of it.
She's a horrible gift that keeps on giving.
I heard she was told just before giving a speech. She had to stand up there bloviate, knowing the news of her firing was being sent out and broadcast in the media as she was speaking. By the time her speech was over, everyone would know she was fired.
Painful. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving bitch.
The only thing these stupid AI chips in my phone are good for. The eye patch is 100% AI slop.
You ran it locally? With what, DrawThings?
This is domestic American news. Not world news.
Yes. Agreed.
However, and I'm not american, nor do I want to be, or do I ever want to visit that place etc etc, I will allow this IF she was fired.
Why? Because she's a horrible, puppy killing, disgusting bob of plastic and syphilis that deserves the whole world laughing at her.
Unfortunately, there's a correct way to remove Kristi Noem from office and this ain't it.
Out of curiosity, how do you mean? the Department of Homeland Secrurity Secretary is a cabinet member and serves "at the pleasure of the president". He's able to hire and fire cabinet members as he wills per Article II of the U.S. Constitution about executive power. Is the DHS one of the protected that needs cause?
The correct way to fire her would be out of a cannon.
LMAO. Oh! The fun way.
But then you're just giving Trump an excuse to say his trademarked phrase, "You're fired."
Into the sun.
I'm guessing this commenter was thinking something a little more... Revolutionary?
Saw the theory that MAGA intentionally chooses severely incompetent women for these positions to then pin all their policy failures on and replace them with men, to reinforce womens "inferiority" in the base's minds.
This is pretty hard to prove considering the administration has no competent people of any gender.
and thats where our great friend dunning-kreuger comes into play!
I mean, it follows his first year term playbook of "blame everyone but me"
Breaking the chain of accountability/responsibility. IMO that's all this is. "That was the last CEO/Manager/DHS Secretary." This is a business move and nothing more.
Yay!
Boo!
lol
She was discarded like a condom at Charlie Sheen's house.
