This is not good. She let loose on people at a meeting, and not in a good way. She needs to watch her mouth and think before she speaks. There are doubts about her leadership. She has about the same amount of control as Trump does, which is to say, none. What is she accomplishing with this? Shock and stunned are the main thoughts from this meeting. That’s very, very ungood. From Raw Story:
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stunned department officials with profane outbursts reacting to a series of critical news reports examining her chaotic leadership. The former South Dakota governor and her de facto chief of staff Corey Lewandowski gathered DHS officials to complain about June reports showing that she demanded to personally sign off on payments over $100,000, which caused delays and bottlenecks throughout the department. Employees told New York Magazine the pair – rumored to be a couple – harangued them in harsh terms.
You think this is a problem? Yes. She cannot earn respect from anyone because this shows she has no respect for anyone there. That’s a plain and simple fact. And mercy, cursing? That is in no way professional for the position of the leader of DHS. One thing is certain. She needs to think before she speaks. She won’t, but that’s on her. By the way, does that sound familiar? It should.
“They were screaming!” a DHS employee told the magazine. “The level of disrespect and screaming at everybody in that room — I think people were really shocked and taken aback.” Another former DHS staffer said Noem and Lewandowski were clearly embarrassed by the reports, and they said the duo fed off one another’s negative energy as Noem dropped “multiple F-bombs” on subordinates. Sources said they were baffled when the pair accused others in the room of “lining their pockets” from government contracts – which struck them as projection.
Yes, indeed. You can see them doing that, and exactly what they are doing with the attempted misdirection. They do not have a good rep in their organization. Once the news about this meeting ripples out through DHS, it’s going to be worse. We know it will do that. Actually, it’s going to tank the pair. Is DHS going to listen? Well, they’ll appear to. They could even take notes. But actively listen? Not after that insane screaming.
“People are scared s—less of Corey,” said an administration official. Lewandowski, a former Donald Trump campaign adviser, has been serving temporarily as Special Government Employee after the White House ended his campaign to be DHS chief of staff over his alleged payments from foreign governments and rumors of an affair – the “worst-kept secret in DC,” according to one official – between the two, who are each married to other people. “Everything has to go through Corey,” said a lobbyist who has done work with DHS. “It’s all based on ‘You’re my buddy, or you’re not my buddy. You hired my friend, or you didn’t hire my friend.’ That place just runs that way.”
Do we even want to guess what the opinion is of DHS with these two running it? Probably not. We already know. Kristi and Corey are imbeciles. They should go to wherever their latest place is for an assignation and let people do their jobs like they already know how. They don’t need the temper tantrums. Kristi and Corey need to grow up. That’s it right there.
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that of all of the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
I just don’t understand why the American workers are so scared, they will never get what they want should they continue down this road. They weren’t scared in the 40’s, 60’s or when they were trying to bust their unions eras ago. People fought hard for their shit. A bunch of scaredy cats now!
