Trump's Appointments

The Secretary of Defense shares attack plans on unsecured communication lines. The Director of Homeland Security cannot keep her handbag from being stolen.

If you had pitched this as a comedy plot a decade ago, it would have been rejected as too extreme in its absurdity and implausibility to even be funny.

Cabinet Frolics -- Latest Installment
1- Another Hegseth Signal Chat on military matters, this one including his wife, brother, and lawyer. I think the guy who cuts his lawn was left out. (Hints from Pentagon sources that more Pete stories will break this week. Not a surprise if that's true. He of course is sputtering away, blaming the media for his woes.)
2- Kristi Noem, our Homeland Security chief, had her purse stolen while she sat in a DC burger palace. She lost $3K plus all her IDs. Apparently she had her purse parked on the floor. I hope the thief at least gives a token donation to a dog shelter. Cricket would wag his little ghost tail. Nice that you can't even secure your own shit, Kristi.

Regarding that second one...

How in the everlasting fuck does a Cabinet Secretary - with a Secret Service detail - get robbed at random in a DC restaurant? What is a high level government official doing with $3k in cash and (according to reports) blank checks? I mean...who carries a checkbook in 2025? This stinks to high (non-existent) heaven.

Maybe she was getting a payoff and went away from her detail so they wouldn't see it.
 
She had it on the floor and the person sat at the adjacent table and did their thing and swiped it. It was caught on video.

The $3k in cash caught my eye also. A short-skirted woman or any black man would be arrested on suspicion just for possession of that much cash. I realize she is Secretary in Charge of Collecting Bribes from Drug Dealers and Other Smugglers, but I doubt she would personally handle bribes that small.

I think high-class rent boys take debit cards; so maybe Ms. Noem prefers the "rough trade." OTOH a more innocent explanation is also plausible: Maybe she just was en route to buy a gaggle of pets or farm animals for her torturing amusement.

$3K in cash really is a lot, especially now that large transfers are possible with a few clicks on one's iPhone. Except for gambling or a large purchase of illegal drugs why would anyone need to carry that much cash? Did any reporters ask that obvious question?

Perhaps the simplest explanation is correct. The Trump family is known for grifting. Ms. Noem might have been emulating her Führer: she saw a chance to score a few grand off an insurance company (or the taxpayers) by lying about the lost cash.

Of course. The $3k is for insurance purposes only. And this claim would likely elevate the theft to a felony. Then if or when the thief is caught, it’s the thief’s word against Ms Noem’s. Good luck with that, judge.
Betcha baht to doughnuts Ms Noem hasn’t used cash since Covid.

While I agree $3K is a lot of cash there's a good reason I do not have any such financial apps on my phone: no way for a robber to force me to access money.

I heard the money was to buy puppies to make a coat.

I habitually have enough money to get a robber through the day if they’re not too badly addicted. $60-80 in emergency cash in the car, $20-50 in my wallet and no ATM access. A robber could make an easy getaway with enough to stave off tremors for at least few hours, or risk it all trying to get blood out of a turnip.
But nobody ever tries to rob me any more. I believe there’s something about not giving a damn that puts them off. Or maybe because I dress in sweats when not on horseback. That could be it - even scummy robbers probably dress better.
 
Secretary of the Navy doesn't know when the attack on Pearl Harbor happened? Ok, his press secretary it taking the blame (a former Breitbart correspondent), but it is truly amazing the level of ignorance and incompetence from so many appointments.

Trump's Navy Secretary Keeps Flubbing The Date Of Pearl Harbor

John Phelan, an investor and Trump donor, has never served in the military.

I actually don't have many dates for WWII in memory, just 12/7/1941, 8/6/1945, and 8/9/1945.
