Ha. Even most of her own state has turned against her. We could say this is her third strike and she’s *really* out. This has to hurt. She’ll never admit it. We have been against her for almost as long as she was in office. She let the powers go to her head, giving her free rein to do what she wants. Miller set quotas. She happily tried to get them. The various “surges” were all part of that. Now she’s gone, and her state apparently doesn’t want her back in any office. With gratitude to Raw Story:
Any hope that fired DHS Secretary Kristi Noem may have about returning to her home state of South Dakota to pick up the pieces and run for office again one day likely expired on Tuesday. According to South Dakota News Watch reporting on polling conducted by the Chiesman Center for Democracy, roughly 3 in 4 South Dakotans approve of President Donald Trump’s decision to fire Noem from her role as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Scorched! That had to sting. It shows how far she has fallen when her constituents don’t want her. She’s another example of not thinking. She didn’t seem to think at all. Of course, that’s not a surprise, but with Trump as her boss, she needed to plan for the future, especially when lying to Congress about Trump on approving that ad she said she did, and he didn’t.
The polling firm surveyed 500 registered voters across party affiliation between April 7-9 and found that 76 percent of respondents agreed with Trump’s move, while 59 percent of South Dakotans disapproved of her performance as head of the DHS. Noem was already politically vulnerable before the firing.
The former governor and former U.S. House representative was on shaky ground when she accepted Trump’s DHS nomination — but her reputation was already severely damaged by an admission in her book, “No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward,” that she killed an unruly puppy by placing it in a gravel pit and shooting it.
Yea, that was a major mistake on her part. She outraged people across the US, and when she got hit with that backlash, she was definitely unsteady already. Then came the ICE issues, and her response was very poor when Renee Good and Alex Pretti were killed. Her lies were blown right out of the water on that one. And well they should have been!
Brad Coker, founder of Mason-Dixon Polling and Strategy, explained how the collapse occurred: “I think she was already starting to slip. Trump gave her a lifeline, and she wasn’t able to hold on to the lifeline.” The puppy admission poisoned her standing with voters across the political spectrum. “Republicans have dogs, too. It wasn’t something that just offended the left,” Coker noted, explaining that the brutal disclosure damaged her support even among her own party base.
It’s not just dogs. Anyone who has a pet was outraged, and that included our household. It’s really tough when a pet dies, and she deprived that puppy of a long life, preferably with someone who would love it. That’s just bullshizzle. Well, this may be the final nail in her “coffin”. We can hope she will quietly go away and not bother us. I wonder if the “open secret” affair with Lewandowski is still going. Ha.
See you soon!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise, among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
