Kristi Noem is pissing up one leg and down the other...

...thanking TSF POTUS for her new job as "Special Envoy for The Sheild of the Americas". No one really knows what that entity is, or what a "special envoy" job for the entity entails. What I want to know, is she still going to be flying around with Corey Lewdwhatever in her Love Shack in the sky?

Patel went to Milan on our dime, used the swat team to protect his girlfriend etc etc. I hope taxpayers will some day recoup all the money they are spending .

To bomb the shit out of a country because Trump thinks it helps him somehow.
So it’s hard to get too rattled about some routine graft and corruption.

Overwhelm the masses with so much corruption and criminal behavior they cannot keep up, they can't figure out what to focus on so they give up trying. But to beat these thugs we all have to pay attention to ALL of it. I'm not asking you to get rattled. You do you and let other people do their own focus.

6. It's a made-up job, like being appointed Ambassador to Grand Fenwick.

Just firing her outright because she totally sucked at her job would be a tacit admission that he'd hired someone who would suck at their job, so he had to give her some kind of sinecure she couldn't suck at.

Now, for her accountability for the waste and fraud of taxpayer money needs to happen
