The only reason he got kicked out/primaried was because he performed a marriage ceremony for a gay couple. He talks now, but wasn’t really much of a help when he was in Congress.

Can you kill a dog, be responsible for people being murdered and kidnapped in your agency, show no remorse,
Get fired and fail upward to a new job and title.
I wonder how much Noem makes in this new job?

So toxic-to-truth and compassion Nomad is moved out of DHS to another agency-in-search-of-a-problem. If the precipitous embarrassment that she is prompted the firing (a position given someone doomed at best) was to have DHS run amuck, it was a success. Now she can effectively ruin any integrity there might be in her new realm. My crystal sphere sees more accountability questioning back and forth forthcoming from her.

After all, isn’t that what these appointments are designed to do? Plant the most lowest of the low in all the key operational cushy, extremist, entitled appointments. The agenda is not success from these exercises in predictable failures. What is? The obvious recycling of inflicted buffoonery to sabotage of what used to work.

They always campaign on "government can't do anything right," and then they get into power and make it true.
