…huh. It’s a… change…? I don’t expect an improvement, tbh.
I don’t think anyone expects an improvement when the candidate pool consists entirely of sycophantic psychopaths.
The improvement is that she stuck by trump threw everything and he just threw her under the bus.
Everyone in the admin just wondered if they’ll be next and if trump would protect them when the masses get upset at what trump does.
More like a lateral promotion than throwing her under the bus, really.
It’s a made up committee…
You ever watch Silicon Valley?
This is like when Bighead gets sent to the roof. trump can’t fully fire her, because she’ll start singing.
So she gets shuffled to a nowhere post that still has perks and money, but she just sits in a room all day. She runs out the clock, but it’s a dead end spot.
Or it’s come Saturday and nothing is announced
I’m surprised they didn’t just announce Christie Gnome as her replacement and send her out in a blonde wig
It’s not an improvement in the sense that the new guy is going to be better or do less evil.
It’s a small victory that the backlash to Noem’s time as DHS head was big enough that, even if they don’t admit it, it’s an implicit acknowledgement by the Trump admin that they did something wrong enough to warrant a response.
It’s not a major victory, and it shouldn’t be talked about as one, but it’s an improvement over the alternative, where ICE murders people and calls them domestic terrorists with literally no consequence.
You’ve got a lot more confidence than I do that any of that will change in the slightest.
No I don’t. The consequence I’m referring to isn’t any sort of change in policy or future criminal repercussions for ICE en masse or anything.
The consequence I’m referring to is literally just Noem getting replaced. It doesn’t stop ICE or change what they’re doing, but it’s better than an alternative where opposition to the current gov’s ICE policies is so locked down that they can’t even manage to do that much.
