I have a feeling Noem will resign or be fired by the end of the day

But the con better not think that will be enough to calm the public anger. The entire ICE operation and the way the con and Miller are running it needs to stop.

Noem gets canned, that occupies a news cycle and deflects from Trump.

Hegseth out next, that occupies the next news cycle.

Oops, I tripped over Rubio, news cycle.

Repeat ad nauseum.

But as a woman they will find her very expendable. They will simply replace her with a man who is just as awful and just as much of a liar.

You think they care about ending this conflict? The psychopathic powers that be are out for blood.

The only way this ends is they either get voted out or forced out.

saying that Trump annonced Noem was out. After I got into the office, I did some googling and checking no one else reporting it. Thought it was a but weird. I can't remember the outlet.

And the media is gobbling it up hook line and sinker. Make unlikable radical Homan the new "face" of ICE and let Noem retreat into the shadows Ridiculous, and not a solution, but the media will give trump props for trying and let up until the next explosion.

She’s incompetent but she’ll do Trump’s bidding. Loyalty is all that really matters.

She’ll get shuffled around or out if the midterms go really bad for them.

I think people are misreading their signals here. If she "retires" or is fired it won't be because of these deaths but because she hasn't been aggressive enough. It's been repeated criticism from Mango Mussolini.
I think there is a good chance he will name Steven Miller as the new DHS secretary with orders to go much harder.

Call me naive, but I don't think, even in this senate, that he would be confirmed.

Plus, serving as DHS Secretary would cut into his time making lampshades from human flesh.

Much as the loud opnions Bongino voiced in his last ten days wrote his swansong as well. Kill, hurt, injure, rape, assault... it's all fine, just don't get more bold type, good or bad, than the wee man.

Nothing will really change, Vance is as much of an idiot and tool as Trump, but it will distract people while the plan continues. He's got another little brown baby coming! Oh, newborn in the White House. How precious!

Project 2025 isn't going to give up willingly. It might look saner on the outside, but the whole point of all of this isn't going to stop.
