"And while you make a daily mockery of our courts and our Constitution, you're treating the billions of dollars our colleagues showered on your department like a personal slush fund. You budgeted an astonishing $220 million for media consultant contracts so you can star in self-promoting photo shoots," he continued. "You're living rent-free in the official waterfront residence reserved for the commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard."
"You spent $172 million to buy not one, but two luxury jets for your travel, and now you're using taxpayer funds to lease a third jet, a $70 million luxury 737 Max, with a queen-sized bedroom in the back, a deluxe serving bar, and four flat-screen TVs."
"Apparently, when your special blanket, your blankie, was left on one of the government jets and not transported over to the new one, your special government employee, Corey Lewandowski, chivalrously stepped forward to fire the pilot, midair, a 2003 Coast Guard Academy graduate and distinguished U.S. Coast Guard commander," he noted. "But then he had to be rehired immediately because there was no one else who could fly the two of you on the rest of the journey back home."
"Secretary Noem, you're flying high now, maybe even a little bit too close to the sun," Raskin added. "But with all these free planes and houses and pilots, you've traveled a long distance from your actual job and the things you should be doing as head of Homeland Security."

When I saw her in a congressional hearing, I found myself wondering how long did it take to put on all that makeup. Then comes the long process of removing all of it! Someone should tell her that often "less is more".
I've seen mannequins that look more natural.

(53,036 posts)The lack of self-awareness is stunning, which is also the same with Trump. It sets them up for understandable ridicule.
That kind of makeup is usually reserved for a photo shoot, a stage play, or a motion picture, not real life. She apparently thinks she is a movie star - "I'm ready for my closeup".

Kristi looks like she has to take off her makeup with a spatula.

(77 posts)Isn't this Kristi/Corey scene just a little like the Zucker Brothers spoof: firing the pilot mid-flight?
Are some human beings that stupid?
Then we get into philosophy questions: Are MAGATS human beings; what qualifies as Stupid; are MAGATS and Stupid actually synonyms in the taxonomy sense?

(53,069 posts)I'd find the first general aviation airport with enough runway to deal with a 737 and set it down. "I understand this airport is 40 miles from nowhere and the nearest hotel is a Motel 6 25 miles past that, but it's illegal for me to fly an airliner after I've been fired from its owner so...here you are. Enjoy Minnesota."

But her kind of incompetence is just what that vindictive sonofabitch, Trumpty-Dumpty, wanted in his cabinet. America failed to bend the knee, kiss his smelly ass, and reelect him in 2020, so he's gonna burn the country to the ground. That's a win-win for him; he gets his vengeance, and avoids defenestration by Pootie-poot.
Goddammit, I hate that evil fuck. He destroys everything he touches. And every Republican Satan ever shat out is going to wear the Scarlet Letter "T" for the rest of their worthless lives.

We need to recognize that Rep. Raskin's words were really for us Democratic voters, since the Repukes never listen to anything he says anyway. We already know that Kristi Noem is beyond redemption and totally corrupt. Raskin is counting the days and the reasons for when she's thrown out of her job, and fired or impeached by Congress.
