#224 In which we bid a fond farewell to Kristi Noem. And her little dog too.

And it has begun. During the 45 administration, the man of wealth and taste seemed to start firing his box of monkeys cabinet as soon as he had sworn them in. With 47, he’s apparently taking his time, letting them first completely destroy whatever area of government for which they’re allegedly responsible before dropping the axe. We here at ConstiToonies HQ all agree, for example, that if ICE isn’t the most reviled operation in the entire world history of fascist regimes, it sure as hell comes close. We’re assuming from Noem’s unexpected (?) rapid departure that perhaps DJT is setting a precedent, and maybe he has a number of dead babies in mind that, once RFKJr exceeds it on his score card, it’ll then be off with his worm-eaten head as well. And another one bites the dust. Megadeth and Rubio will no doubt take the heat when the Middle East war spreads up to around Dublin or so—although the Iranians can have Spain, if they want it—and when there’s too many American casualties for our beloved White House Press Secretary to blame it on the mainstream media. OTOH, we haven’t heard a peep out of Linda McMahon for a while. No doubt her broad experience in education is the chief cause of her unpeeping, and make no mistake, we’re as happy as the proverbial clams if she remains unpeeping. So, presumably, are 114% of the public school teachers and administrators in the country. (Except maybe Texas.) 

Of course, we may all be missing the real point of the grounding of Noem’s private plane. She is being reengineered as the special envoy for the Shield of the Americas, which as everyone knows is the Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage Logistics Directorate. Whether or she or Nick Fury will be in charge is unclear.
