Senator from the Great State of Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin, will become the United States Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS)
What in the banjo-plucking sibling-fucking hee-hawing fuck is that appointment?! May as just appoint Cletus the slack-jawed yokel to the role and be done with it.
Awww she just lost her flying boudoir. :'(
Wow. I just looked up Markwayne. An unqualified moron. He'll fit right in. I'm sure his experience as a college dropout and plumbing business is the perfect life skills to bring to the DHS. Well... It is a shit show.
Don't forget his storied MMA career!
The irony of a Native American running DHS is not lost on me.
That motherfucker far removed from being a Native American. I have non existing grandkids who will have more native American blood then he does.
It said he has his associates degree! That's hardly a dropout....And he's an "entrepreneur who has started multiple businesses." Perfect guy to lead the DHS.
Associates degree was still after dropping out according to the wiki.
Not fired, she's getting promoted to Team America Western Hemisphere Police.
Team America Western Hemisphere Police.
I don't know if this irony or not anymore
Yes fired, she was removed from her position and assigned to another. It's sugar-coated but it's still fired.
That's not what fired means. If you still have a job, you haven't been fired. Demoted, reassigned, sure. Fired would mean she doesn't have a job with the company anymore.
Not in Trump's world. He "re-assigns" rather than fire because firing implies he made a mistake in hiring. He learned this in his first term when his constant firing drew attention.
Edit: I deleted a lot of this that made it obvious I did not read all of the comment I was responding to. But,
My guess is that there are/will be two levels of removal:
Moving to another job because you’re a Good Soldier and will Keep Your Mouth Shut about the countless things they aren’t telling us, or
The window method popularized by our President’s real constituent
To be clear, inbred poster boy, Markwayne Mullin, will almost certainly be worse than Noem. Mullin tried to physically fight someone during an official proceeding until Bernie Sanders yelled at him to sit down and behave like a member of Congress.
Mullin tried ripping the "Black People Are Not Apes" sign out of Al Green's hand during the State of the Union.
There are pictures of Mullin cowering in fear during Jan 6, after helping incite it. There are pictures of Mullin standing on a box behind a podium to match the height of his debate opponent.
He is an inbred and a coward with a chip on his shoulder. Expect more Constitutional violations.
Found this elsewhere by another user, but wanted to share.
Got asked about a shady-ass contract, says Trump knew all about it, gets an immediate denial by Trump and gets replaced within a couple days. If there’s a more obvious way to telegraph that the contract was indeed shady as shit, I can’t think of it. Senate better not let this go.
These idiots who race with each other to prove they are the best ass lickers don't realize how expandible they are in such an opportunistic and fascist regime.
Don’t they need to go through a confirmation process, too?
Ppl that execute their own dogs shouldn’t be in charge of anyone that can execute humans.
Ppl that execute their own dogs
That's why she's being put in charge of PETA.
Now do Bondi
We get 2 first names for the price of one!
About time. Not like Mullin is gonna be any better though.
A bottle of Viagra mislabeled as Vicodin would do a better job, probably.
Fired because of stuff she's been doing, or stuff she hasn't been doing?
Noem repeatedly suggested the president was aware of the campaign and signed off on it.
Oh, that makes sense. Fired for a petty reason by the hurt snowflake in charge.
Mullin is such a piece of shit, I don't think it's an upgrade.
