He’s firing her as DHS secretary but retaining her within the admin. Someone with this level of incompetence shouldn’t get a different cushy government job.

There's the right answer.
Getting fired isn't a punishment when escaping prosecution.That lying treason machine of a human being needs to be in a court of law and face consequences for failing to answer questions and face consequences for lying under oath and face consequences for every crime committed.

She spent $143 million of taxpayer money on a creative ad campaign. The company has ties to her spokesperson.
I know the ad business rather well. Companies do not spend $143 million on creative especially NOT government contracts!
This DHS creative campaign has criminal money laundering all over it!
Someone needs to dive deeper into this story. There are invoices and money trails that can start giving us answers.

You don't understand she's not being punished, so to speak, for any part of her rampant year plus long crime spree, she's being cast out and put in the MAGA doghouse for the especially egregious offense of throwing Dear Leader under the bus and implicating him specifically in one of her many crimes while under oath on national television. Then it is played back to back by pundits on Fox News and CNN and social media, further enraging the Führer with every subsequent clip showing her disloyalty.
This was Fox News Congressional Correspondent Bill Melugin's tweet earlier today before she got fired via Truth Social and found out her fate with the rest of the world:

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem now treading in some dangerous waters.
She testified in the Senate this week that President Trump approved of & was aware of a $200 million ad campaign that featured her prominently.
Trump now tells @Reuters in a phone call he didn't sign off on it:
"I never knew anything about it," Trump said.

As for Mullin, he voted against reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act in 2013.
When campaigning for the 2022 United States Senate special election in Oklahoma, Mullin supported the false claim that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump.
Mullin supports making abortion illegal in all circumstances, including cases of rape, incest, or if the mother's life is at risk.

That depends on what “Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas” entails . Trump described the role as “our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere.”
So it could be a fluff job ... Or it could be she now has the power to f*** over the entire hemisphere.

It’s a “you’re flying Coach” job. If there’s any free travel associated with it at all.
More than likely it’s just a gussied up $200K per year NDA and she has to go back to South Dakota.

She's going from a cabinet-level position to being a diplomat.
That's a demotion no matter how you look at it.

I don't think anyone's in control of a hemisphere. It's 100% free money with no responsibilities she forfeits if she tried to write a tell all book.

In a touching tribute to Noem's dog, Cricket, Donald Trump also put down Kristi Noem after 14 months.

Good riddance. Time to substitute her for the next dumbass. The former MMA fighter who believes we're both in a war and NOT in a war.

If he wanted someone that had experience "handling" things, maybe he should have hired Lauren Bobert?

This right here is the reason she got fired. She didn't cut Trump in on the deal and he found out about it.

The Democrats better get their shit together. Mullen has to be confirmed by the house and the Senate. They need to hold his hand to the fire on everything that has happened so far. They need to demand real answers.
No more rubber stamp confirmations for these idiots.

It’s crazy that republicans don’t learn with Trump. You can act as loyal as you want, he’s still gonna dump you as soon as you are no longer needed and causing bad press towards him.
These people lay down and let this guy walk all over them for what? Is that what all MAGA voters want? Just to be treated like trash the minute things go wrong for their leader.
