Noem sec. of homeland security passed a rule saying ANY appropriation over 100,000 dollars has to get her PERSONAL signature and so FEMA response time was 72 hours where in that time the people on the ground ITCHING to help could not even make PLANS to help so she speared the heart out of FEMA, an organization she CLEARLY said she would kill so now she does this so people can come down hard on FEMA giving her more excuses to kill FEMA.
That seems to be the bottom line here.
This is not just me yelling the sky is falling, here is the gist of it;

Her utter incompetence and total loyalty to Trump ONLY killed over a hundred people when most of them could have been saved with on the spot help.
She said in public it is up to the STATES to do that work we only come in later.

@kmax87 saidI'll vote for that. Like Hegseth unilaterally stopping the shipment of patriot missiles to Ukraine with Trump saying he had not heard of it, maybe you could tell me....

A dude who ran TWO conservative republican veteran orgs into near bankruptcy but that was not enough to stop this assshole drunkard ex talking head to be in charge of maybe the most important job in ALL of US government.
So what does HE do? FIRES TOP generals right out of the bat.
And now taking on the authority to stop ALREADY PAID FOR Patriots going to Ukraine as as a result there were many new drone attacks in the meantime that could have been mostly thwarted but Hegseth seems to think he can act without POTUS approval. If at least Trump is to be believed which is another story.
Two days later Trump being asked the same question says I don't know.
Really? So in that two day stretch, lets give him the benefit of the doubt he really didn't know about that, he never bothered to even ASK Hegseth, hey whats with you not sending those Patriot missiles to Ukraine? Boss, you told me in a phone call not to send them. I DID? I don't remember........
@sonhouse saidAnd now you know why Trump surrounds himself with idiots. They are there as shock absorbers. Someone to take the blame FOR Trump. Someone to fall on their sword for him.

How he gets such blind loyalty is completely beyond me. Oh, wait, I did say they were idiots.

@Suzianne saidSeems we get a new scandal every week. So besides Hegseth making tactical military decisions unknown to Trump (maybe) where Hegseth is too stupid to come up with that "pause" so someone else talked him into it, maybe Trump, eh. but we can't prove any of that, but the next scandal THIS week is the Epstein list.

Bondi goes I have the file here and working on it, then it sure looks like Trump's underlings see the file and saw Trump was indeed in it, FBI and the rest issue a statement, nothing to see here, go on home folks.
Now WE see the possibility Trump is really in that list and it gets squashed but the MAGA people are up in arms, funny really.
It looks like the Magites were waiting for the list to come out, Bill Gates, Clinton, Obama, Biden, Hunter, some or all of the above are mentioned as clients but they would never want to see Trump listed, so freaking out big time🙂
It might even be there IS no such client list and now there is this war between Bondi and Bong ini and such, factions fighting like the fights for power between the underlings of a king🙂
Frigging HILARIOUS if there were not such serious consequences for both the opportunity for foreign agents to slip in and do their dirty work, hacking into systems and propaganda campaigns and the like and the chaos caused by this utter incompetence in plain sight and the world watching our government dissolve into a comedy show and the implications for our reputation elsewhere.
