President Trump fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and said GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma would replace her.

Noem "will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida," Trump posted on social media. "I thank Kristi for her service at 'Homeland.'"

Noem is the first cabinet secretary to leave the Trump administration in the second term. The announcement comes after Noem spent two days being grilled by lawmakers in Congress over her leadership.

This is some, "You can be Fire Lord, Azula, cause now I'm the Phoenix King" bullshit.

    Assuming Noem is the sandwich, it should be hers.

    That's not fired, that's reappointed to a new position.

    When the second word of the title is wrong, well get it right, people are misinterpreting this right now.

    The new position is made up and has no authority, so I think "fired" is not totally wrong.

    And Turnip doesn't have the authority to go to war with Iran, but he did anyways, so your point is?

    He has whatever authority the Supreme Court and Congress decide he has.

    Congress already declared he didn't have the right to do that without their approval.

    she'll still pull a(n even bigger) salary and keep her benefits, they did this during his first term plenty.

    it's essentially a pay-off, she's too high-profile to assassinate now and they want to keep her from doing a tell all

    It sounds like they're making up a new position. It sounds like this phony agency is supposed to be the DHS but for North and South America.

    Because, you know, they're called America, so clearly it all belongs to the United States... /s

    I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that the least negative thing I could say about him is that his first name is two first names.

    Wiki ays he is part Cherokee (lol), owns a bunch business and has an mma record of 3 wins one by rear naked which is probably the move he uses on underage girls. Other then that it seems to be pretty much typical political goblin shit.

    This "Shield of the Americas" thing that apparently the very NOT FIRED please don't tell people i was fired-Noem is being shunted into is gonna be just another Greenland-esque bullshit attempt to push and bully every sovereign nation across two continents. And with her involved, everybody brace yourself because it's gonna get stupider, more insulting, and more aggressive. Like yeah, better get this woman involved in international diplomacy because she and her boyfriend/side piece did such a fucking normal job of domestic affairs... ಠ_ಠ
