Again, this won't happen because this is an authoritarian loyalty test and she's passed with flying colours. Loyalty trumps accountability, just keep repeating that over and over until you get what's happening.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Yes. This is the reason for the many incompetent people in the administration. The competence doesnt matter as long as they are obedient.

mrweekender.bsky.social•2 days ago

Obedience before competence has been the hallmark of both Trump administrations.

Also why all the infighting.
When you have no coherent reality based guiding policies. All the various myths and conspiracy theories will inevitably clash.

This is exactly how mafias work. (And it is the reason why mafias need simple business models.)

And this is why authoritarian regimes typically fail.

I’m curious to better understand how Xi has been so successful.

Loyalty uber alles

The only change to this will be other cabinet secretarys trying pathetically to inject themselves into the news cycle, in case Donald forgets they exist.

I mean, she shot a 4-month old puppy in the face and bragged about it in a book. This is not someone with any capacity for shame or self-reflection. That’s why she’s in the role. She’s going nowhere.

elmobronowski.bsky.social•3 days ago

Exactly. In a loyalty test, the normal relationship between ethical behavior and consequences is reversed.

zengardner.bsky.social•3 days ago

Exactly. She murdered a puppy.

I am begging the Democrats to start fighting like Republicans.

vitorreis.bsky.social•3 days ago

I have just watched Delia Romero in BBC commenting on this. It's unbelievable as democrats are absolutely stunned with the succession of events. Not prepared for this. I understand, there's no playbook. I mean there is but people ignored it. Now it may be too late to stop this

I agree, but they're in the minority in both the House and Senate, and have zero power (right now) to effect change.

mapp.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah, but it doesn't mean that you shouldn't call for it. You have to plant the seed.

I still can’t believe how easily it is to destroy US democracy! Wow!

clotpoll.bsky.social•3 days ago

the confederacy actually won the civil war. this is our ‘find out’ moment.

clotpoll.bsky.social•3 days ago

almost the entire democratic contingent in congress is #controlledopposition. swalwell is one of the better ones, but none of them- singly or together- is going to save us.

Eric isn't confused, he's just dutifully playing his part.

Sickening period in our country!!

chrwest.bsky.social•3 days ago

They really are still acting as if they are opposing a sane administration following the rules.
Wake the F up.

clotpoll.bsky.social•3 days ago

frankly, it’s embarrassing.

contractjames.bsky.social•3 days ago

The First Criminal likes to surround himself with other criminals.

cindys636363.bsky.social•3 days ago

Agree. Expecting any one of these people to "resign" is laughable. They are in no way normal, rational human beings. They are unreachable, unteachable, and irredeemable.
