The Trump administration is floating possible replacements for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, despite insistence from the White House that she’s not going anywhere, according to a report.

The former South Dakota governor has led President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda — a flashpoint of his second term — since January, and he has frequently showered her with praise. At a Cabinet meeting last week, Trump hailed Noem and other immigration officials: “What you're doing is amazing.”

Yet, inside the Trump administration, a list of names to replace Noem is being discussed, including Virginia GOP Governor Glenn Youngkin and Fox News contributor and former Utah Republican lawmaker Jason Chaffetz, an administration official and two close to the administration told Politico.

“I’m hearing from people that she’s about to leave,” one person close to the administration told the outlet, noting that Noem wouldn’t be fired but would be departing for “another opportunity.” Both the White House and DHS have denied claims that she’s leaving her post.

1. Wonder if the interviews will include running down pedestrians with a truck.

[bluestarone]

2. Will puppy killer be the next

Marjorie Green?

[belpejic]

5. Marge has asserted independence.

She's out. No loyalty, at least from the orange one's perspective. She knew what she was doing, though everything is so topsy-turvy these days who really knows...

[BOSSHOG]

3. Floating names?

Observing a toilet bowl? President Millers methodology to pick a replacement for a failure? Are the powers that be looking for a failure with Less hair? Has she failed in not covering up her misdeeds?

[BumRushDaShow]

4. Chaffetz is a slimy weasel

so that might be part of the criteria!

[BOSSHOG]

7. Doesn't Laura ingraham deserve to be a member of such an august body?

Millers assistant trump better be careful or faux will have to shut down when he hires all its employees because of their expertise pertaining to the affairs of state.

[BumRushDaShow]

12. He's got 3 years

to rotate the likes of Ingrahamcrackers and god forbid, Ann Coultergeist (although they had a "falling out" ), into the regime!

[TommyT139]

8. Wasn't it him

...who dosed a mistress's beverage with an abortifacient?

Updated: Nope - this JC is a Mormon considering a run for gov of Utah. The one whose name I can't recall is a beardo, I think.

Small comfort. But I don't see a Mormon (at least a faithful one) being as dirty and malicious as puppykiller.

[Wiz Imp]

10. That was Jason Miller

However, when looking it up, I found a bunch of Republican politicians who are virulently anti-abortion but insisted their girlfriend, wife, mistress, etc get an abortion.

Tim Murphy
Scott Desjarlais
Giovanni Capriglione
Herschel Walker
Scott Lloyd
Elliot Broidy

[Aristus]

45. Jason Chaffetz looks as if someone beat Colin Hanks as hard as possible with the biggest ugly-stick available.

Inside and out.

[SSJVegeta]

6. Honestly all would be massive improvements.

But thats kinda like saying a broken leg is better than a severed one.

[Wiz Imp]

9. So now we have rumors of firing or resignation for Noem, Hegseth, Patel & Bondi

All should not only be fired, they should all be in jail.

However, notice how the cabinet member who is responsible for harming more citizens and will likely kill millions if he is allowed to continue - RFK Jr - has apparently had no issues from Trump or anyone else in the administration. How scary is that?

[Skittles]

11. don't forget Trump himself

that mass murdering corrupt POS should be in jail right along with them

[FakeNoose]

17. Remember Chump's first term - they were all or mostly fired in the first year

Chump has -zero- loyalty or appreciation for any of the staffers or cabinet members. They have to walk on their knees in his presence to prove their loyalty to him, but Chump will trash anyone's reputation if he feels like it. That's why there's so much backbiting in his White House, they all know they're going to be fired sooner or later.

[Wiz Imp]

18. In the first term, not all his cabinet picks were incompetent.

Some even legitimately tried to do the job they were hired for. Trump quickly learned he didn't want people around who could think independently.

So for the second term, he selected incompetent people for every job whose only qualifications were their willingness to kiss his ass and break the law for him. Given that, you would think they'd have a longer shelf life, but that hasn't proven to be the case.

[FakeNoose]

19. Yes, that too

The stupider his employees are, the more he can blame his own mistakes on them.
Who in their right mind would ever want to work for him?

[electric_blue68]

13. I must be missing something...Why do they think she's Not doing a good job, i mean she's...

(not from our pov)
She rounding all "the illegals" up.

Or bc American Citizens are being grabbed, and constituents are complaining to their Congress people?

What am I not aware of?

[Bayard]

16. She's not blonde enough

trump likes his young and stupid blondes (and I say that from a blonde perspective!)

[muriel_volestrangler]

20. Article seems to say it's that they think she's spending her time positioning herself for a 2028 presidential run

Yes, I'm sorry to induce nightmares.

"If you want a picture of the future, imagine someone shooting your pet dog - forever."

[electric_blue68]

22. TY...

Yikes for pet owners

And all her other inadequacies.

[IronLionZion]

40. America is the pet puppy in that story

[BumRushDaShow]

23. I think some of the issue is with her SO

Corey Lewandowski. This "relationship" has been causing all sorts of issues and Lewandowski had some bad blood left over from the first term.

The Daily Beast had an article that had more details on this - Insiders Reveal Trump May Axe ICE Barbie Over Secret Romance

[electric_blue68]

29. Ahhhh yes, Lewandowski. Heh. And the Engineless Spirit Airplanes...

I forgot about him, but I remember the airplanes

TY

[popsdenver]

37. I wonder how

Mr. Noem, back home taking care of the kids, likes being known nationwide, publicly, as a CUCKHOLD.......

[electric_blue68]

41. I'm guessing ....not too good?

[popsdenver]

46. These days

it is hard to tell, he may actually feel the need to be a Cuck.........and maybe it's been going on through out their entire marriage?

The ones I feel sorry for are the kids............Obviously, she doesn't care about that......only herself......

[Bluetus]

30. Miller is pissed that she isn't building gulags fast enough

I'm not making that up. It is Miller driving this.

[electric_blue68]

33. Could be. I mean he's in the lowest of the low. Hideous "human"!

[kysrsoze]

14. What, not nazi enough for Peewee German? I'm sure her replacement will be sub-human.

[twodogsbarking]

15. Trump will fill in; tempor.....

[Ziggysmom]

21. Once she leaves Homeland Security she can devote her time to running an Only Fans page.

[popsdenver]

39. Dubious

she is a middle aged hag, with a ton of plastic surgery, which won't last long in her case......besides there is evidence that the silicone is leaking from her implants directly to her brain......

[Kid Berwyn]

24. Sylvester Stallone would be good in a Judge Dredd way.

Robocop might be the concept, but Buckaroo Banzai would never go along.



As for Noem, she was known for sleeping with Corey Lewandowski long before she was shooting puppies for Putin.

[Bengus81]

25. Under the Bus Cosplay Barbie. FAFO............

[TBF]

26. Interesting that this boiled over, but that drunk Pete is still in his job. nt

[Hassler]

27. Susie Wiles must really hate Kristi the plastic yard Noem's guts

After all, she is clearly stupid, crooked and cruel enough for Orange Julius Seizure.

[Akakoji]

28. Total BS

Not quite sure why this nonsense is being pushed, but please take note that Noem is a woman, and the replacements mentioned are always men. Neither of those two men would ever make the aging debilitated wannabe oligarch happy, although they both are more than willing to eat shit for the cause. Noem is not going anywhere, unless she’s found a way to transfer the 38 billion missing dollars she refuses to account for. That is something that she might get canned for by these thieves. They don’t care, and they don’t share what they steal from working Americans.

[BumRushDaShow]

31. She has a "Corey Lewandowski problem"

that has apparently pissed off a lot of the higher echelon staff. It's been simmering for months (not unlike the Kash Patel "girlfriend problem" ).

[COL Mustard]

32. I am not available.

I am more qualified that Gnome, but I am NOT interested.

[SomewhereInTheMiddle]

42. There's a saying in the Army - Any Colonel can. You're a COL, therefore.... nt

[Bristlecone]

34. Whoever it is, we will all sat WT ever lovin' F

When announced. That much I sure of.

Habba is free as of this week.

[Wonder Why]

35. They've already called Ringling Brothers to see if there are any unemployed clowns available.

[SSJVegeta]

36. Nobody should accept that role. People with any common sense should just resign and have these assholes do that shit

themselves.

Because eventually there will be nobody left.

[The Roux Comes First]

44. Of Course "With Any Common Sense" Has an Ominous Ring to It

Has he any acquaintances or relatives who qualify? How much is it worth??

He wouldn't recognize it if he was to be drowned in it.

This is an entirely different form of "rapture."

[The Roux Comes First]

38. Sorry, But I Never Got Past "Job Performance" Before

I choked on the upswig.

[JohnnyRingo]

43. Just when you think he couldn't possibly find anyone worse......

Hold his beer.
