Noem Secretly Took a Cut of Political Donations

A dark money group paid $80,000 to Noem's personal company when she was governor of South Dakota. She did not include this income on her federal disclosure forms, a likely violation of ethics requirements, experts say.

More: In what experts described as a highly unusual arrangement, the nonprofit routed funds to a personal company of Noem's that had recently been established in Delaware. The payment totaled $80,000 that year, a significant boost to her roughly $130,000 government salary. Since the nonprofit is a so-called dark money group " one that's not required to disclose the names of its donors " the original source of the money remains unknown.

Noem then failed to disclose the $80,000 payment to the public. After President Donald Trump selected Noem to be his secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, she had to release a detailed accounting of her assets and sources of income from 2023 on. She did not include the income from the dark money group on her disclosure form, which experts called a likely violation of federal ethics requirements.

" She did not include the income from the dark money group on her disclosure form, which experts called a likely violation of federal ethics requirements."

Likely?!? LIKELY???

Here's the IRS's approach to the average taxpayer:

If you got the money, you KNOW you got the money.. Period, full stop.

This is a Clarence Thomas level of perfidy. According to the IRS, there is NO EXCUSE for omitting income.

Now say it with me, Republicans: "No one is above the law!"

Noem was inspired by the------------- who steals from children's cancer charities.

Coincidentally, the gold Rolex chronograph puppy-killing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem wore on her 2025 Latin American prison tour is worth $80,000:

Doesn't seem to much like women.
Typical MAGAt burdened by a crippling Weltanschauung.
As for Noem ...
Not a real woman, just more cosmetic surgery experiments gone awry.
And a grifter.
Like Donnie.
So sad.

I get the sense that Lumpernut is giving up and knows he can't be taken seriously about anything, so he's just throwing out random non sequiturs and other delusions.
