She's also good at standing around smiling while he dissociates

dianamc.bsky.social•136 days ago

I guess she had just the “right amount” of plastic surgery to go with the evil soul. WHO SHOOTS A DOG FFS?

warrenterra.bsky.social•136 days ago

People are criticizing this but only because their minds haven't grasped Trump's other personnel announcement that they should be criticizing instead.

jaynahson.bsky.social•136 days ago

That’s from before the election, so I’ll assume it was just pandering to voters until proven otherwise.

thesoundings.bsky.social•136 days ago

Jokes aside - so far all his appointees are total sycophantic yes-(wo)men which indicates everything will be run directly out of the WH by Miller, McEntee, and Heritage guys.

bellepepper37.bsky.social•136 days ago

Well, that's a point to show.

jbllewellyn.bsky.social•136 days ago

Given Trump's obsession with dying like a dog, getting shot like a dog, crying like a dog, this makes sense

paularead.bsky.social•136 days ago

Yeah but it's okay because shooting them ≠ eating them so it's all good.

"10,000 family dogs are killed by police every year"

DOJ called it "epidemic"

"officers discussing who will kill the dogs before they even arrive at the house"

Another police dog cooked alive

"abuses k9 for not finding drugs"

"Kills Man, 3 Dogs, Gets Rehired and Shoots Innocent Dad Through Door

She’s the perfect monster for the job.

ghostyspook.bsky.social•136 days ago

Oh this is a version of what I was thinking which is that she is a cop at heart

arkenor.bsky.social•136 days ago

And throwing bodies into gravel pits, which may also be relevant in her new job.

pnwartist.bsky.social•136 days ago

Exactly-she's one of them already

The dog jokes were expected. They were all awful, except this one. It’s funny because it’s true. Nice work you ornery prick!

Where will Vivek end up?

zuelugaming.bsky.social•136 days ago

If I had to wager, I'm going to guess "nebulous *not actually an office*" thing along the same lines that he was spouting Elon would get

backlitkeyboard.bsky.social•136 days ago

Vivek just doesn’t want to be prosecuted

drseminnis.bsky.social•136 days ago

daven50.bsky.social•136 days ago

I understand the point you are trying to make, but the fact that she shot and killed a dog, a family pet, should disqualify her from holding this, or any, government job.

maxkennerly.bsky.social•136 days ago

You'd think it would! The story is in her own damn book and it's outrageous, a confession of a sociopath. And yet.

mht316.bsky.social•136 days ago

He’s putting together the Shitvengers.

lindsayb7707.bsky.social•136 days ago

Yet a random man carrying a dead goose was somehow an albatross for democrats.

ghostyspook.bsky.social•136 days ago

Even though geese are terrible and puppies are delightful

allmykidshavepaws.bsky.social•129 days ago

If you think some bitch could shoot a completely innocent puppy in the face & she wouldn't hurt people, YOU.ARE.FUCKING.DELUSIONAL!!!

malwarejake.bsky.social•136 days ago

virtuistic.bsky.social•136 days ago

Quick question: Are we expecting that she, or any of his other appointees, will last longer than a head of lettuce?

ljevans.bsky.social•136 days ago

As the local dogs rejoice....

zuelugaming.bsky.social•136 days ago

Listen, you need subject matter experts, and DHS is about one thing that Kristi Noem knows very well:

Unnecessary Cruelty

cstucker.bsky.social•136 days ago

It's getting harder to understand and accept that Republican Senators are giving up their own power and the Constitutional duty to advise and consent.

gailendavid.bsky.social•136 days ago

Only the cruelest (which they consider “coolest”) will do.

wobbledance.bsky.social•136 days ago

Not only is Kristi one of Trump’s favorite sycophants, she also likes his Spotify playlist 🙄

Clown caucus in complete control. We'll see how much people like it.

edinadebbie.bsky.social•136 days ago

I'm already hearing it's not going to be so bad, while I can feel the pot heating on the stove beneath me.

grouchysmurf.bsky.social•136 days ago

I've come to the conclusion that the average person has no clue about cabinet members or what they do. They'll start caring when it starts affecting their lives. Sad as I am to say this, I hope it does, even though it will affect mine as well. OTOH hard core MAGAs will be delighted.

independenthuman.bsky.social•136 days ago

We have to accept one fundamental fact. In the real world we can't all escape suffering. We will have to suffer together with MAGA in order for them to realize the mistake that they made. It seems to be the only way.

virtuistic.bsky.social•136 days ago

I'm suffering, but not "with" them. They made and shit the bed and can cope with that by their damned selves. I'll be busy over here trying to reduce the suffering for people these assholes are targeting for harm.

grouchysmurf.bsky.social•136 days ago

Bring it on. As soon as he won, I knew there'd be suffering. Can't say I'm happy about it but it's probably the only thing that will open their eyes. However I still think the hard cores (the ones who want to burn down the govt) will never capitulate. He's doing exactly what they want.

independenthuman.bsky.social•136 days ago

Nope. Those deep in rabbit hole ones will never give in. You can't argue or even try to make understand someone who is not interested in having their thoughts questioned and contradicted no matter the facts. They are already convinced that facts can be fabricated when you're evil.

techstepper.bsky.social•136 days ago

The people who voted for Trump will bear the hurt if it means the people who did not are hurt even more. There is no realizing the mistake.

independenthuman.bsky.social•136 days ago

I prefer to believe that not all of them are monsters ready to burn the whole country down for the sake of satisfying a bloodlust. I still believe many of them were simply duped into following him and will eventually open their eyes. But not before shit hits the fan first.

markfsu.bsky.social•136 days ago

You're right. They are completely information siloed. The blame will be spread everywhere except for themselves.

independenthuman.bsky.social•136 days ago

Agreed. They will blame Trump before blaming themselves. But I still think many will eventually come around once they realize how bad it all really is in the end. They might not admit failure, but they might at least quietly back away from it.

dezcacciotti.bsky.social•136 days ago

Well. He is doing what everyone predicted he’d do. Place loyalists who will do his bidding without any pushback.
