Kristi Noem Gets Slap On Wrist, Justice Gets Slapped Down

By now, the whole world is aware of the fact that Kristi Noem, the Puppy Killer, is out as head of the Dept of Homeland Security. The only thing surprising about the whole sordid affair - Noem being fired, not her dalliances with her "top aide", Corey Lewandowski - is that a narcissist like Trump had put up with being embarrassed by her for as long as he had. His dementia must be so bad that he doesn't know what's going on around him.

But there are a few things that need to be kept in mind.  

One, Noem's removal as head of DHS was not impulsive.  It was planned out, complete with performative set-ups during this week's hearings, and the time for her proposed successor, Markwayne Moon Mullen, to be ready. Trust me, Mullen is not that bright that he can think on his feet.

Secondly, this move isn't anything more than a slap on the wrist for Noem.  Oh, sure, she has to give up her sex plane, her taxpayer-funded glamor shots, and all of her cosplay costumes. But now she gets to collect a huge salary for doing nothing more than staying out of the way. Good work if you can get it, especially while most of the country is struggling to make ends meet.

Third, justice has not been done. No one has been held accountable for the executions of Renee Good or Alex Pretti.  No, on ehass been held accountable for all the terrorism her goons have caused throughout the nation.  No one has been made to answer for all of the money she has squandered and has lined her pockets with.

Hell, even Cricket, the puppy that Noem killed for no good reason, still gets no justice.  And that's criminal in itself.
