Always good to see fewer Republican Senators even if only temporarily.

... Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is leaving the department ...

Should have occurred before she killed American citizens.

He's the Millionaire Plumber and Trump Sycophant who knows zilch about National Security.... he apologized for misspeaking the other day when he referred to the war in Iran as a, 'war'.

Which is politically incorrect in the Trump Coven.

In additional news... Cory Lewandowsky has offered to stay on board at the Dept as his side piece.

Umm.. so ... she can't be trained?

By her own "leadership" standards then she should be taken to the gravel pit and shot.

More from the cited article ...

... Trump said Noem will be "moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida." ...

One wonders if Kristi Noem will get to remain living for free in USG housing and if she'll have access to those luxury jets she bought with our hard-earned taxpayer money: www.youtube.com

She's in Nashville talking to an association of police chiefs as Sec of DHS.

Guess she hasn't heard she's out yet.

Markwayne Mullin is a Cherokee Nations member and a multimillionaire.

He has served only a few years as a US Senator following a special election in 2022.

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt (R) will then select an interim US Senator until Nov 2026.

Stitt and Dummkopf Trumpf recently squabbled over the National Governor's Association dinner.

Markwayne Mullin is No Improvement over Kristi Noem.

He's a Bigoted Narrow-minded MAGA.

Just like Noem.

If anything, he's Worse than her.

How do we know he's qualified?

Does he have 5 pounds of plastic in his face?
Has he even killed any puppies?

Markwayne will last a year and live in Hell that entire time.

Wherever Kristi is at this moment. she is not crying.

That would crack her face.

Markwayne Mullin just torpedoed whatever was left of his political career. You'd think these people would learn that Trump poisons anything he touches. Well, no one ever accused Mullen of being very bright.

Kristi Noem qualifies as a monster.

However bad Markwayne proves to be, her being gone is a victory for the United States.

I know. Why would anyone leave a perfectly good Senate seat for something like this?

- Why would anyone leave a perfectly good Senate seat for something like this?

Possibly because he was appointed and doesn't think he could win an actual election there?

Or maybe because Trump told him to... that's enough for most of his Cult.

He did win an election. He was appointed in Feb 2022 and then won election to the seat in Nov of that same year.

Markwayne Mullin? The Schizo Guy?

The part of him named Mark says we are not at war.

The part of him named Wayne on the other hand believes we ARE at war.

What's the over/under on how long it takes one of the Noem's to file for divorce?

I try to keep up with all things Cherokee, as Warren and I are soulmates with one of those fine people in the woodpile way back when, but I missed that.

It's no excuse, though, as OK is commonly known where I'm from as, 'far north Texas'.

only ONE of a cabinet filled with incompetents, malevolent actors, shills, and grifters.
The history books of our grandchildren will have a big chapter on this era, and NONE of it will be kind to Trump, the cabinet, or any of the GOP in Congress.

Markwayne Mullin is just as insane as Kristi Noem. Remember: Trump needs a scapegoat for the midterms. The face will change, the policies will continue.

I don't care what any of you think, NOBODY could have been stupider, more incompetent, more self absorbed, or more uncaring about the welfare of humans than Noem. A repulsive piece of shit.

I think he will be worse.

While she was viciously vapid and stupid and concerned more with her image as some glamor cover tough girl, Mulling seems like a small d(*& idiot with something to prove.

I mean, look at this tool

I think we're about to witness a 'hold my beer' moment with Sen. Markwayne Mullin.

Markwayne is not necessarily an upgrade. And could even be worse. Don't know of any dog shootings, but he did try to fight the Teamsters president during a Senate committee meeting.
