"In a cabinet full of lunatics and lickspittles, Noem still managed consistently to distinguish herself by her cruelty, her stupidity, her paranoia, her pathological dishonesty, and her self-aggrandizement."

Cosplay queen Noem’s reign is over—and everyone’s rejoicing

If you haven’t already heard, puppy killer Kristi Noem has been fired from her position as Homeland Security secretary. Noem was an easily identifiable villain, epitomizing the corruption and cruelty of the entire Trump enterprise. And that reputation...

Daily Kos

"The best reasons to fire Noem are epitomized, but not limited to, what happened in Minneapolis.

Renee Good and Alex Pretti are dead, killed by agents under Noem’s control. Instead of condemning their deaths and opening full, transparent investigations into them, she instead, and almost immediately, attacked the two dead Americans."

~ Joyce Vance

Fired, But For the Wrong Reason

Today, Donald Trump fired DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance

"She accused Good of attacking the agents who shot and killed her. She called Pretti a domestic terrorist. Those are lies.

Congressman Jamie Raskin gave her a chance to retract those lies in her oversight hearing earlier this week. She refused to."

Robert B. Hubbell sees Noem's firing as a victory for Minnesotans:

"Minnesotans persisted. They refused to quit. And they won. Their victory is not complete; it is ongoing. But they deserve credit and gratitude for showing us that resistance works."

"Noem is not likely to disappear from the news. Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker recorded a video saying: 'Hey, Kristi Noem, don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Here’s your legacy: corruption and chaos. Parents and children tear-gassed. Moms and nurses, U.S. citizens getting shot in the face. Now that you’re gone, don’t think you get to just walk away. I guarantee you, you will still be held accountable.'”

Noem’s Fall

Humiliation is Donald Trump’s calling card. It’s the other side of domination....

TPM - Talking Points Memo

"When I heard the news today of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s ouster, which has certainly been telegraphed for weeks, it seems exquisitely Trump that he allowed her to go to Capitol Hill and get pressed on the entirely predictable question of whether she is having sex with her notional top aide — Corey Lewandowski — when she had only one day left on the job."

"It should also be mentioned that Mullin — who took over his dad’s plumbing company and is the only US senator without a bachelor’s degree — has no background in law enforcement. So what does Trump see in him?"

Noem's bungling proves too much even for Trump

Accountability is still possible.

"So what does Trump see in him?"

He knows how to make the shit flow ?

@the5thColumnist @wdlindsy The plumbers of his plumbing company did that. The boss doesn't know how to hold a wrench
