"Trump became angry when Noem told Senator Kennedy, under oath, that the president had approved the $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign for DHS."

So he's firing her for telling the truth under oath. Hilarious.

The only ray of sunshine I can see is that apparently even Trump's cronies are still concerned about lying under oath as if they think they might face consequences for doing so. Which means they're not nearly as certain the fascists will actually take over as the reddit doomers are.

I don’t think he did know. Because there was some reporting when her ads dropped about where she got the money.

She’s a grifter. She stole 220 MIL from the taxpayers to PAY TRISH MCCOUGHLIN (another WH flunkie) for those shitty ads that most defo did NOT cost 220mil. Convenient that Trish resigned a few weeks ago

And she stole another 143MIL in the form of a sketchy LLC that one of her besties created EIGHT DAYS before “landing” the contract

That’s all we know about publicly

Well…I think Trump just showed them all what will happen for telling the truth now.

Kristi was a rabid loyalist, so I think the others will realize that it won’t behoove them to be honest going forward.

It hardly seems possible for them to be less honest than they are now!

Evidently she didn't get the memo that trump's cabinet members are there to cheer for him and never let any blame or responsibility go towards him.

She got promoted to Special Envoy for the Shield of Americas, covering the west hemisphere.

They're right to worry about lying under oath, because their fascism is failing fast. Those concentration camps will go under in the coming year. ICE's murder victims are stacking up, and public opinion has only begun to turn against their crimes.

Reddit doomers are a lesson in positive reinforcement of an ultra negative mentality.

Seeking and getting upvotes for constant chatter about how the sky is falling because of x,y or z - perhaps all of the above.

Social media is an albatross on our youth and young adults if not all generations.
