“WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE MY NEW DHS SECRETARY?”

In case you missed it, Kristi Noem* is out at ICE, and it happened in the most humiliating fashion: while she was giving a speech–and none of her staff bothered to interrupt her and tell her. She deserves it, and hopefully there are criminal charges in her future.

Trump has nominated Sen. Markwayne Mullin as her replacement. I don’t think Mullin’s approval by the Senate is a given, since he has really pissed off a couple of Republican senators (on the other hand, they might be thrilled to have him out of the senate, so who knows?).

Besides his rabid bigotry and Trump support (but I repeat myself), Mullin is just a very stupid person. When people describe someone as “a stupid person’s idea of a smart person”, Mullin is the stupid person in that scenario. He also is a huge wimp.

Will Mullin be worse than Noem? Possibly, but it’s still good that Noem’s political future–and possibly her freedom–has been flushed down Trump’s gold-plated toilet. Here’s to hoping Mullin self-immolates next. Anyway, it’s clear Homan and Miller are calling the shots.

In short, abolish ICE, and remove Stephen Miller.

*Due to autocorrect, future historians will debate whether her name was Kristi Noem or Kristi Norm.
