My best guess is the “fire Powell” Rhetoric is not really about actually firing Powell, though I’m sure he would love to do it. I think it’s more about turning Powell into the new Fauci and the Fed into the CDC. He needs a scapegoat so his followers never blame him for the failures ahead.

I have to assume that Kristi Noem had $3,000 in cash because she had just sold children to a human trafficking ring, and it would have been $10,000 but she had just made a drop for some Fentanyl that she was on her way to pick up.
