Trump's Appointments

 
 
 
So they are thinking of calling Pam Bondi back to testify before congress again. I'm seeing contempt charges in her future.

Okay folks, she was moved, not fired. It is like when Facebook became Meta. They are moving her to the Shield of Americas thing, which sounds like a plot for a political thriller, where the US is the adversary.

Think MAGA is a cult. This damn administration is a cult. They are like Neocons, but without any sense of competency at all. The leaders of the First World are clearly unsettled by the Trump Admin's actions.

Trump picked him, so my guess is YUUUGE.

Well, he was an MMA fighter and purposely chose to change his name from Mark Wayne to Markwayne. Frankly I think his main qualification is that a) Trump heard of him as anMMA fighter so he’s a ‘tough guy, a very tough guy and b) he’s from OK so no problem replacing him In the legislature with another MAGA.

He challenged a labor union leader testifying before congress to a fight. Bernie Sanders had to order him to stand down and act like a senator.

The 7 Craziest Moments From Markwayne Mullin, Trump’s Pick to Lead Homeland Security

President Donald Trump nominated Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) to lead the Department of Homeland Security on Thursday, shortly after he removed Kristi Noem from the position. Her firing came a day after yet another contentious hearing before Congress, where she was grilled about her tumultuous...

7. Mullin said when he called Trump’s war on Iran a “war,” that it was “a misspoke.”

6. Mullin compared Charlie Kirk to Martin Luther King Jr., whom Kirk harshly criticized.

5. Mullin claimed – after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot – that only Democratic political rallies become violent.

4. Mullin stated that he doesn’t wear a seatbelt while driving in Washington, D.C. because he is afraid of being carjacked.

3. Mullin said he understands why Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was physically attacked by a neighbor.

2. Mullin nearly had a fistfight with Teamsters leader Sean O’Brien during a Senate hearing in November 2023. (already mentioned above)

And this doozy:

1. Mullin reportedly fingered the nostrils of sleeping congressional colleagues and their spouses while on a trip to Israel.

I suspect he's been hit in the head too often.

The guy replacing her will be worse. He's an aggro thinks-he's-alpha-male toxic maga. If he goes before congress to testify he'll threaten to fight them which he did as a senator when he questioned someone in the senate. That's even worse than a burn book ala Blondi. So this is why Trump picked him. So far as Noem being out, she wasn't outright fired, just moved to the Shills of Americas. He ad campaign of $220M wasn't enough for firing because if Trump didn't approve it he would have, it just made him look bad that she admitted he approved it. Also, she wasn't the only one claiming that the people murdered were domestic terrorists. That goes to the top. We are no better off with or without her. Trump has to go and he won't budge and who knows what will happen to the election process.

Corey Lewandowski might be better off, he has to bang Mullin instead now.

Wasn’t Corey booted too?

That's why she has been shuffled off to a do nothing job for an organization that doesn't actually exist. That will keep her quiet until Trump doesn't care anymore. Noem suffers the affliction we see in most of Trump's appointments. Anyone stupid enough to take the job is too stupid to do it.
 
I want to get some letterhead from “The Shield of the Americas”.
I think it will become a valuable cultural treasure.
If I write Krispi a nice letter of support, do you think she’ll respond?

Were those who had qualifications, experience and national security background really doing a crash hot job previously?

They were trying to hold things in a better check in the first term, yes. It was dysfunctional as all hell, but people like Kelly and McMaster, who were hot heads but apparently competent enough hot heads and tried to ensure someone of competence was always available in case Trump had a really bad idea. I ponder whether the Iran attack would have happened with them around.
