You know what keeps me up at night: How do we rebuild a nation's security apparatus after it's been systematically dismantled by ideological zealots who mistake cruelty for competence?
As to whether the destruction of DHS is intentional or accidental, I honestly believe the answer is: both.
One of the things Project 2025 states is its intention to destroy the function of the American government, not for the sake of destruction, but because of what that destruction will let them accomplish. While everyone is losing their minds about what's happening, the unspeakable shitstained goatfuckers who planned this mess are doing two things: normalizing fascism in America and looting a burning building. How best to accomplish these aims? You get yourself a malignant narcissist of a presidential candidate with rapidly advancing dementia who's got literal cult followers all over the country, you steal the election when it becomes clear that this will be necessary to put him in charge (the details of how it was done just came out), and then you let him make the appointments.
Trump can be utterly relied on to do things a certain way. The more his dementia advances, the more he acts on his emotions because that's all that's left of his brain. Loyalty to him personally is the only thing that matters - but everybody else is expendable. Thus Kristi Noem gets the DHS slot; she'll do whatever he wants. She'll destroy everything under her control trying to please him, because she's dumber than a bag of rocks, and then Trump will toss her aside for incompetence.
That's what I meant by the destruction of DHS being both intentional and accidental. The people behind Trump want everything wrecked. They're manipulating the situation and Trump is profiting from the results. Kristi Noem, though...for all the damage she's doing, for all I'd be *so fucking happy* to see her tossed in general population in a supermax prison at the mercy of actual criminals, including the Latina gangs...for all that, Noem is just a puppet, and she's performing as planned.
Sadly they can't investigate her without Republican help. What they can do is message the heck out of this and amplify Murphy's letter. Also too stop beung so accomodating when it comes to confirming administration hires.
you are not wrong, thats why midterms are going to be Crucial. Current polling suggests that we might have a majority to pull it out after the 2026 election cycle.
And it's crucial to not give up early and assume there won't be meaningful midterms. Even those of us in red states where the odds of flipping a seat are small have to show up.
If you keep reading our shit, you will know I am in no way EVER giving up early. They are gonna have to pull my publication from my cold dead rigor mortis ridden hands.....before Ill stop talking the truth.
Ha ha. I got that from the way you mentioned it if that makes sense. But inevitably someone hits the replies with aome varient of “if there even is a midterm,” so I like to get ahead of that nonsense. Especially now.
My husband and I served in the Coast Guard for 24 years. Thank God we retired before it moved from the DOT to the then-new DHS. What a shit show. The USCG has always had to complete its’ missions while struggling with inadequate funding. Now this. It is unspeakable. Semper paratus, my ass.
"The psychology of the arsonist-firefighter" line is the whole rotten core in a sentence. They’ve been handed the keys to a system they despise and are now joyfully gutting it for sport — or worse, for campaign footage. You can’t rebuild a nation’s security when the demolition is the point. And when Noem’s shopping for Gulfstreams while the Coast Guard lives with mold? That’s not just bad governance — it’s state-sanctioned cruelty as performance art. The only question is how many more institutions they can burn before someone finally confiscates the matches.
Its frightening living next door to a collapsing empire. Its even more scary when the “leadership” is hell bent on burning everything down to warm the toes of the grifter in chief. Dont worry though Kim Jong DonOld has plenty of stolen and scammed loot and his ex boyfriend is still rich(on paper. For now.) THEY will be fine.
Ol' Sport Model is racking up the charges that will be brought against her when this scourge has ended. I can't wait to see her with no lip fillers or Glad lawn bag eyelashes glued to her head like hideous spider-trophies.
What do you call a government of malignant narcissist psychopaths? All of them are fucked in the head. All of them. From the smart ones like Burghum who were sucked into ‘greed is good’ mindset, to the alcohol-addled Hegseth and celebrity-seeking Noem.
This is technically what is called a Kakistocracy. From the Greek word “kakos”. Kalos is the opposite, meaning good and beautiful. A kakistocracy is rule by the worst, least qualified and most incompetent. It is also oligarchy, rule by the rich, but trump’s kingdom is even more accurately kakistocratic. He has fired all those with knowledge and skill and replaced them with the worst candidates he is able to find. If trump fires someone it means he has found somebody worse to replace them with.
2 reasons for this in my mind:
Stupid people make him look smarter. Smart people show his ignorance and incompetence so he seeks the stupid.
He is bitter, frustrated, inadequate, old and angry. He is taking out his abused childhood on the world because he has never felt loved or “enough.” As a bitter unloved man, all he has left is revenge and catastrophe.
Shit! The woman barely has a college degree! How can she possibly think that her position as director of DHS is in any way appropriate? In all honesty I can't get past her murdering her puppy to have any semblance of neutrality regarding this bitch.
I'm sure a lot of her budget went to her tacky wardrobe. Can't Democrats open an investigation on her? They've taken down representatives who've overspent on office decor. Why can't they nail her for misdirecting funds to buy herself a jet? I would like to see her next outfit a stunning orange with a numbered tattooed to the back of it.
She bought the boots and boobs for it.
But she has a costume for that.

oh I agree. Thats why we have to focus everyone on the "prize" in front of us.
She is a deplorable, disgraceful human being, if she can even be called that. They all are.

All she cares about is how she looks in the mirror and on tv.

Well, having Senator Padilla forcefully cuffed and arrested is par for the fucking course.
One day, post Trump she will venture out of the US, and Interpol will interdict her, and drag her to The Hague.
We’re soooo fucked, and from all sides. 😏😎
Just the way Kristi likes it. Allegedly.
Why do you think I used a cheap adult film store image

Don’t forget she also killed a goat for being a goat ie; it butted her as goats will do.
Well damn. How dare that goat have the audacity to act like a goat?
She is a sociopathic cunt.
That has a nice ring to it.
Among many many other things
