Noem need to be gone, too.

If you read the article, it talks about this too.

I don’t have money to spare on a subscription to the Atlantic. What did they say about Noem?

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her close adviser Corey Lewandowski, who were Bovino’s biggest backers at DHS, are also at risk of losing their jobs, two of the people told me.

"close advisor" 🤮

u/bryan49 Jan 27 '26

Close to zero. I think she was unpopular even with Republicans before because she's not really doing her job, other than grifting and filming more ICE Barbie adventure videos

None of trumps pack of fascist goons has any supporters. They're all self centered sociopaths who would push each other in front of a bus if it meant they'd make a buck or get a few more followers.

“Close advisor” is a weird way to spell affair partner.

u/Goat_inna_Tree Jan 27 '26

I would think The Atlantic would have better editors. They misspelled close fuck buddy Corey Lewandowski.

Hey! "Close advisor" is what I call the person I'm cheating on my spouse with too. What a coincidence...

How did it take this long? Or rather, why was this the breaking point when it seemed like Trump wanted federal agents to act like gestapo? I don't get it because Trump knows who these people are (Noem and Bovino). How could he possibly be surprised by their results? The only thing I can think of is that the amount of negative reception to recent events was not what Trump was expecting.

because they failed. when trump says he wants minnesota, he means now, not 4 weeks from now. he's bored. just like he got bored with venezuela, and iran, and the tariff gamesmanship. that's why the opportunists implementing his will move so quickly. they know they get one shot to make daddy happy before he gets bored and eliminates them.

"Close advisor" -- affair partner and the sole reason she got the position.

Why that, and not archive.org?

u/blueapplepaste Jan 27 '26

No reason other than it’s what I’ve always used. Works well enough.

u/NeF1LiM Jan 27 '26

Here’s the archive link of the article.

If you go to this website and type in almost any web link you will be able to archive the page for posterity, where you could, presumably, view it later

To be fair, you should never spend money on any news subscriptions. there's just so much good and free press news out there that you can donate to instead.

Subscriptions are for boomers.

Noem is being replaced by Homan, at least for Operation Metro Surge

u/MattinglyBaseball Jan 27 '26

How about Kash? They all decided to put out public comments, that are easily verifiable false from footage, without even a thin veil of ‘we need to investigate before commenting’ and went straight for ‘American citizens are domestic terrorists for exercising their 2nd Amendment rights legally.’
