DHS was a mistake from its inception. It never should have existed. The legacy of post-9/11 hysteria.

Ok, I think it's time to close the Internet when the phrase top goon makes me giggle.

I’ve been reading Lemmy for 15 minutes so far this morning. I am already untethered and my rage knows no bounds.

Lemmy is full of rage bait.

I think world events are full of rage bait, honestly.

Hamilton said it wasn’t a surprise that Lewandowski was the messenger, even if Lewandowski, technically an unpaid and temporary special government employee, wasn’t his boss. Lewandowski has long served as Noem’s gatekeeper, described to me by DHS staff as her “handler,” her “bulldog,” and the “shadow secretary.” They are also widely understood by those who work with them to be romantically attached.

Ewwwwwwww!!
