Kristi Noem is damn scary.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

Or as you say, people cannot envision anything different from the current reality.

Reality will hit soon enough. Some will have a steep learning curve.

Yes we have seen enough to know what we are dealing with.
And it is not pretty.

I am surprised she didn't have that dem U.S. Senator taken outside, and tied to a lamppost, so she could give FOX news a video/sound bite of her shooting him like she did with her dog and goat, that she is so infamous for having done.......

Trump would put the video on his cell phone to use nightly to get him self off....

They have got us into this mess by normalizing Trump.
There constant both sides reporting has done a tremendous amount of harm.
There constant blaming Democrats for everything and never challenging or blaming Republicans. Always using the Republican narrative.
It’s killing us and damaging our democracy.

Imagine if Biden or Obama had sent in troops to a city to "liberate it from conservatives" or "from MAGA." It would have been an administration-ender. Now we call that "Thursday."

After a 12-hour flight today, there she was on the video monitors above the security area for connecting flights. It’s enough to make you want to turn around and get back on the plane.

I'd fight her. She's crazy, with huge delusions and a murder of proud boys at her beck and call. She is grossly incompetent, a liar, and a thief. The only thing to fear (as in 'be cautious' of her) is the administration she works in. Get her alone and she isn't scary at all. I wonder if perhaps someone were to punch her in the face, if she would actually feel it?

Absolutely no empathy at all. I'm positive that is why she was picked.
It's sickening.
And also like Dumpy, I have no interest in even seeing her.
She has FAKE written all over her.
Did I mention dumb as a box of rocks?
