Kristi Noem was just an incompetent. She wanted to cosplay a Hollywood role that would make her look good. She didn't know what her people were doing but she was willing to defend them to their last crime. In my opinion, she did not order the atrocious actions of the hooded agents but she defended them. She was never qualified to be in such a position.
Markwayne Mullin is different in that he is a cruel and inhumane person. He will order his agents to be the same. Their disrespect for the law and our freedoms will be worse under Markwayne Mullin. Hit them in the face will be his orders.
If this is all we can get, then we would be better with nothing. A domestic enemy against our people is worse than an external enemy, in my opinion.
This guy should be nowhere near such a position of authority.

(692 posts)Witness the entirety of his politcal career - his first cabinet was bad and became worse over time only to be outpaced wildly by the incompetence and banality of his second cabinet. These people collectively should not be in charge of changing toilet paper rolls in seedy gas stations, let alone running this country straight into the ground at full speed.
We could not do worse if we tried and a random selection from old phonebooks would surely be better than what we have...

But yeah, Markwayne acts and sounds like he will be even nastier that Noem, which will be as Trump and Miller want.

(3,311 posts)An overreaction to 9/11 puts far too many agencies under a singular authority, by extension a singular individual.
I hope we can fix it after the midterms if we get one or both houses of congress back.
