Real question. Here is an actual exchange that happened in what used to be a world standard stage for debate and deliberation.

At one point, the newly elected Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH), deeply committed to lowering the cost of gas and eggs for his constituents, asked Noem how she’ll handle “sex change operations for illegals,” something that is definitely not real.

“Senator, I believe that the DHS will be re-evaluating its mission moving forward to not allow that,” Noem replied. Shouldn’t be hard to stop something that isn’t happening from happening. Preemptive congratulations to any undocumented immigrants who request and receive cost-free sex change operations if-slash-when that happens!

Apparently the “sex changes for illegals” was one of Trump’s popular one-liners against Kamala Harris on the campaign trail. He also used the line at their one presidential debate: “Now she wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison,” For months, you couldn’t watch a football game without seeing campaign ads pushing that talking point. But it feels insane to even have to spell out the obvious fact that this is not a real thing. Homeland security is going to "not allow" a fictional thing. I can’t help but wonder: When did everyone get so dumb?

I think it was some time in 2015 when Trump came down that escalator.

I think they have a contest every year now to see who can out-stupid who.

Why is no one in the room asking what the he** is wrong with everyone? Should we ask homeland security about reptoids and aliens too?

I know.

All I've seen since the last election is a bunch of pussy democrats falling all over themselves to apologize to the fascists.

Biden slapped 100% tariffs on EVs from China, but democrats say Trump will ruin the economy for suggesting he will do the same thing.

As I said, half the nation went thick as a brick the second Trump opened his fat mouth and announced his candidacy.

Presumably you included.

Wasn't the original claim that California's flavor pf Medicare covered sex changes, and that coverage was extended to illegal immigrants?

Providing more examples...

I was under the impression that targeted tariffs on specific products were different from what trump proposes. Maybe I'm wrong.

Blanket tariffs will definitely raise prices on most products.

Sure mate. We can debate the legal language all day long. But something that does not exist should not be of concern to homeland security to warrant questioning at a confirmation hearing.

What blanket tariffs?

I think you just made that up to evade confronting the hypocrisy of Biden's tariffs. 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs. Sonhouse created a thread on here saying 100% tariffs would ruin the economy. He had no idea Biden had already done that.

Biden just continued Trump's tariff policy. The same tariff scam Trump imposed on us taxing American consumers. Trump lied by claiming it taxes China when it does not. Most people believed his lie too. Why did most Americans become so dumb?

I thought we were talking about dumb stuff, like having Medicare pay for sex change operations in California.

That's a nominee for homeland security director saying she will "not allow" something that does not exist. Like bigfoot.

Out here solving non-existent problems and patting themselves on the back.

That's the question I asked but you just repeated it instead of answering it.

I wouldn't put it past some Democrats to use taxpayer dollars to fund sex change operations for illegal immigrants. Hell, Kamala would have been all over that. So that's not really like Bigfoot. The best you can say is that its a problem that doesn't exist *yet*, and I don't think it hurts to have the potential head of DHS state a position on it.
