I suspect Ms. Noem wasn't "fired" fired

On Tuesday, March 7, King Donald Trump will announce his new "Shield of the Americas" initiative. It is a group of 11 Latin American nations, led by the US. In the Shield are currently Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay and Trinidad & Tobago. All these nations have one thing in common: their presidents are right-wing extremists.

The US Special Envoy to The Shield of the Americas, a desk in the State Department, is Kristi Noem.

What it appears to me is Trump transferred her to this new position rather than actually terminating her and sending her back to South Dakota to shoot more puppies, and all y'all just think he canned her ass. With this action, Trump gets a win-win situation: he can install a DHS head who's even worse than Noem is, which he did, and he can have this new slot filled with someone carrying a proven track record of evil.

He doesn't want her out loose writing a tell-all-but-Corey book.

2. Is the Shield of the Americas as expensive to join as his Board of Peace?

3. They haven't said, but Trump does nothing for free

As I've said repeatedly, Harry Truman had a sign on his desk that said "the buck stops here," and Trump has one that says "what's in it for me?"

5. are you sure that sign doesn't say.....

"the buckS better stop here!"?

4. Make no mistake. She was canned.

The timing from her disastrous hearing was too precise. If this had been the plan all along, Trump would have delayed the announcment so as not to appear to be a complete culsterfuck.

But Trump would never admit that, so this was a backdoor way of getting her out of there while having "plausible deniability."
