Cheer up, Kristi; the new jobs sounds perfect for cosplay
After contentious hearings this week in the House and Senate, where even Republicans faulted her for failures, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is being replaced by Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., President Trump announced Thursday on social media. “Noem, who has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!), will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas,” Trump wrote, referring to a security initiative focused on the Western Hemisphere.
Take heart, Kristi. When one door closes, another opens with a bogus title and backwater office that we’re guessing from the sound of it comes with a superhero costume. Oh, and we’ll need the keys to that $70 million luxury Boeing 737 Max 8 you’ve been riding around in.
In other attempts to spin bad news this week:
War of words: Republicans in Congress actually do disagree at times with the Trump administration. Looking to avoid a vote in Congress under the War Powers Act that Democrats are seeking to halt the joint U.S. and Israeli military assaults on Iran, Republicans, including Sen. Mullin, denied that the U.S. is at war with Iran. “We’re not at war with Iran. We’re making sure that they do not have the capability to harm us anymore,” Mullin said. But both President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have used the word “war” during interviews and briefings to describe the strikes.
