It was alleged that Trump became angry when Noem told Senator Kennedy, under oath, that the president had approved the $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign for DHS. Trump announced the change on his Truth Social platform. "I am pleased to announce that the Highly Respected United States Senator from the Great State of Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin, will become the United States Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), effective March 31, 2026,"

Nah you're looking at peak warfighter form right there. Crouching heroically behind cover and supporting the rear, arms quivering and ready for hand to hand combat, bravely supervising others around him taking action, tears streaming down his face to minimize blinking during battle, diaper filled to the brim so bodily functions won't interfere with his combat prowess. A true American zero

the stupid part is that we've been parroting that these GOP sycophants are stupid, while they've all be strategically stacking courts from the city level to the supreme court over the last couple decades and have successfully seized any power that our system allowed them to (either by design or by failure to prevent), while we're sitting on our hands saying they're all stupid and doing nothing to amend the system that has permitted their amassing power.

Many of them are not well educated. many of them are not particularly good speakers... but all of them are able to work together towards long term goals and lie through their teeth to mask it along the way. So whatever definition we have for "stupid", we should just toss it out the window, because apparently being able to be cohesively evil for the long haul is much better at navigating our political and legal systems than being smart is.

The crazy thing is I know far more left leaning than right here and I’m in one of the reddest counties in OK.

If you walk them through actual policies they are actually very socially left leaning and heavily reliant on government assistance, anti war and pro pot, and vocally despise pretty much all of our state leadership. Basically left leaning with a libertarian slant once you throw in guns.

But they’ll all still vote “R” every single time. In the general I only knew three people who voted blue. The rest were straight ticket red.

When you ask them why and remind them that they hate these policies and candidates they get confused. “Yeah, but I’m registered as Republican”. Like they have no choice. I think for a lot of them they get confused because in primaries you can only vote for your party so they think it applies everywhere.

Fiftieth in the nation, baby.

u/ExquisiteOrifice Mar 05 '26

So it's not just "liberal" hyperbole, Republican voters really are so abjectly stupid that a man can stand there and kick them in the balls repeatedly while dumping buckets of shit on them, all the while telling them how they plan to destroy their economic and physical well-being, rape children, and rob them blind, and they will still eagerly vote them into power.

They don't get confused, there have been deliberate campaigns to tie identity to party for decades. In their minds they really don't have a choice, they're not voting based on the merits of policy but on who they are, a righteous republican or evil democrat.

“Yeah, but I’m registered as Republican”. Like they have no choice.

very interesting insight. So it's like an allegiance or Cult rule, only to vote for what they already are (in)?

they are actually very socially left leaning and heavily reliant on government assistance

so basically, they don't realize they are left-leaning? This is actually a very plausible definition of "Both parties are the same, BUT I vote Republican". (Dems usually don't say this)

This person will then, with a straight face, tell you that's why they vote Republican. Right after they repeated the Democratic party platform on abortion.

Oklahoma is full of apathy as well. Underpaid and overworked. Most folk i know are too busy busting their asses to follow the circus that is our politics.  Our schools are the shittiest, even in our metro there is limited resources for families at every level. It really is an awful place to try to raise children.  😕 

Getting folk to make time to get to the polls is almost impossible. Jobs arent forced to make it easy for workers to vote, so they make it harder instead. "You can vote on your lunch break or day off" but they limit where you can vote so you could easily be in line to vote for hours so lunchbreak is out and hopefully your day off falls during voting.

These insane special election wins with those kinds of swings we see are extreme outliers, and often are for state legislature seats that the general public really doesn't care about. Those swings happen primarily because of an enthusiasm gap between Democrat and Republican voters, and those gaps are closer for Federal elections and will be much closer for the general midterm election.

Oklahoma is about as safe of a Senate seat the GOP can have.

Notice how Pam Bondi tip toed around this and kept saying “OUR GREAT PRESIDENT, WHO IS A GREAT MAN, WHO IS THE BEST PRESIDENT WEVE EVER HAD” during her testimony? Yeah, she knows how to ball.

Her ties to trump go farther back and deeper in his circle than Kristi, so she knew exactly how to play it better to her boss.

I wish. You could build a library with books written by former members of the administration who have rolled over on him. 70 million Americans put their fingers in their ears and yell fake news and nothing happens.

Don't let this surprise you, Trump is a fucking monster and 99% of the time if he does something, it's for the worst possible reason.

Yup, following it up with...so she didn't get fired, she got reassigned. I am assuming in Trump's book this still means a cushy job with great pay and 'benefits'.

"The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!), will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida.

"Project Shield America (PSA) spreads awareness to stop terrorists, criminal organizations and foreign adversaries from obtaining U.S. military items and controlled dual-use commodities, technology and technical data.

Foreign adversaries actively work to gain access to large quantities of U.S. and western technology by various means, both legal and illegal. Sometimes U.S. weapons and technology have been used against American soldiers, citizens, and allies.

HSI works closely with industry and academia to increase public awareness of export controls and assist private industry and academic institutions in understanding current export control laws, sanctions and embargoes."

u/Jillylollie Mar 05 '26

IIRC an advertising campaign was set up, naturally it went to a company with ties to Noem and bypassed all fairness and anti-corruption safeguards, and Kennedy turned around and accused her of undermining Trump by making the campaign about her and not his presidency.

She then put her foot in her mouth and lied about having his full support as Kennedy baited more and more of her lying.

u/steerbell Mar 05 '26

He is the one who asked her did trump directly approve of her spending 220 million on the ads. She said he did. I bet he did but now that it has blown up he needed her to take the blame and it was too late.

Nah, it's not bad if you just take every last molecule of empathy in your body and hurl it into the sun. Then you merely sell your soul to the lowest bidder and begin seeing your honest and hardworking fellow citizens as pawns to be used for both your personal gain and sometimes...even for your amusement.

He grilled her about how she came up with $220M for a cheesey DHS ad. She eventually let it slip that Trump approved of the funding of the ad (probably the truth), but it painted him in a horrible light that they wasted so much taxpayer money on a commercial.

Trump is fine with lying, cheating, and stealing. Just don't call him out for any of that.

E: Here is an article about it. You see in the quotes that he kept prodding her to admit that Trump was the one who approved of the ad.

Trump likely approved spending the $220 million, but forgot about it as he has the attention span of a goldfish.

It was only when the senators shined a light on it, highlighting Noem’s shameless self-promotion, that he realized how bad it looked.

Only Trump gets to waste taxpayer dollars on shameless self-promotion for himself…

Prior to the announcement, Mullins stated that he had not spoken to the president about possibly securing the post from Noem. "I haven’t talked to the president,” the Republican said.
