She's being replaced by fucking Markwayne Mullin. The senator so inbred southern his first name is two actual names glued together. He's just as MAGA, and just as dumb as Noem.
TBF Trump immediately moved her onto some newfangled program that has even less congressional oversight while acting as a money pit, so it's not really a firing...
The first thing I wondered when I heard the news was if she knew, because this same thing has happened before. Despite "you're fired" being the phrase that made Trump famous, outside of scripted television he's a chickenshit coward who can't fire underlings in person. He has to do it indirectly to avoid confrontations.
After the second ICE Execution, she and Lewandowski had a two hour private meeting with Trump. Everyone thought she'd be fired, but they call came out with Trump hailing their success, and giving his blessing.
He's notoriously easy to manipulate. On his first visit to Moscow in 1987, the Russians were so amazed at his response to the most insincere flattery, that they identified him as a valuable asset, and gave him the code name Krasnov.
Those around him know how to smooth talk him with flattery, so when he really has to fire them, he can't do it face to face. Suzy Wiles probably won't even let him fire anybody in person anymore. When it's time to cut someone loose, don't give them the chance to talk him out of it.
I heard she was told just before giving a speech. She had to stand up there bloviate, knowing the news of her firing was being sent out and broadcast in the media as she was speaking. By the time her speech was over, everyone would know she was fired.
Painful. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving bitch.
Out of curiosity, how do you mean? the Department of Homeland Secrurity Secretary is a cabinet member and serves "at the pleasure of the president". He's able to hire and fire cabinet members as he wills per Article II of the U.S. Constitution about executive power. Is the DHS one of the protected that needs cause?
Saw the theory that MAGA intentionally chooses severely incompetent women for these positions to then pin all their policy failures on and replace them with men, to reinforce womens "inferiority" in the base's minds.
Breaking the chain of accountability/responsibility. IMO that's all this is. "That was the last CEO/Manager/DHS Secretary." This is a business move and nothing more.

Because just like when she was a VP candidate, she made an absolute ass of herself, and made her boss look bad.
I'm willing to bet that her replacement will largely do the exact same thing but with better media training and less of a PR disaster.

They mentioned someone in the article but I haven't looked into them yet as he doesn't seem to be part of the usual suspects.

Great, now I get to be stressed until the weekend that they’re going to anounxe they want to annex all of the America’s for a missile dome.
He’s been threatening that already, but moving people and creating a project for it is a bad sign.

It was a lateral “promotion”. She was put in an unimportant box where she can’t really do anything.

However, and I'm not american, nor do I want to be, or do I ever want to visit that place etc etc, I will allow this IF she was fired.
Why? Because she's a horrible, puppy killing, disgusting bob of plastic and syphilis that deserves the whole world laughing at her.
