let's watch in horror as Kristi Noem drags reality to a gravel pit, and--

imagine that you’re the head of the government agency in charge of responding to emergencies. now imagine that the very first time you’re tasked with handling a fast-moving crisis, you fuck everything all to hell — because you’re a cosplaying ninny more concerned with the flawless cascading of your hair extensions than with the flawless execution of plans.

now imagine going on the Sunday shows and bragging about what an amazing job you did. imagine staring straight into the camera while spinning bullshit fairy tales about how no one could have done better.

if you’re Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, you don’t have to imagine any of that shit, because you’re living the dream.



“these emergencies need to be conducted exactly how President Trump handled this one. it was that the local responders are the ones who execute the response, the state comes in and manages it, and then the federal government comes in an supports it, and as soon as Texas asked for anything, we were there … this response was by far the best we’ve seen out of FEMA.”
