I usually hate when mods delete popular threads, but this post does break Rule 1.4: "Not United States Internal News".

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Thought it fell under International since Proton is a Swiss company and the FBI worked across borders for the information. lol
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.
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.
Love this pic of him cowering on Jan 6th, 2021, though.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Holy fuck they’re not so good for that guy
But they were just tourists!

and made her boss look ~~bad~~
and made her boss look somehow worse
Right? I feel like they don't understand the gravity of how difficult this is, given the givens.
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.
I didn't think they would be but I didn't know how bad it was gonna be.
It's worse than the little funny clip I showed you. He has also said to deport children of deported parents. The more you look, the more you'll find.
Ahh. Yeah. Thanks for the links. I do appreciate it.
I do prefer to use links so I can to have some proof of the things I say. You're very welcome.
It's this guy:

RAJU: You'll concede this is war?
MARKWAYNE MULLIN: We haven't declared war. They declared war on us
RAJU: The president called it war and Secretary Hegseth called it war
REPORTER: When you walked up just now, you called it war
MULLIN: Okay. That was a misspoke.
"That was a misspoke."
Oh. Fun. -.-
Ha Millin will be a PR disaster too

Wtf is the shield of America
Trump knows the avengers is fictional right?
I wouldn't count on it.
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 on the TV, it must be true.
Apparently she just gave a press conference and she hadn’t been told she was fired 🤣
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...
It was a lateral “promotion”. She was put in an unimportant box where she can’t really do anything.
Except access a ton of money and have no accountability.
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.
It is pretty fucking wild - he literally fires people on Twitter because he’s too chickenshit to do it to their face
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.
She's a horrible gift that keeps on giving.
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.
This is domestic American news. Not world news.
Yes. Agreed.
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.
Unfortunately, there's a correct way to remove Kristi Noem from office and this ain't it.
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?
Out of curiosity, how do you mean?
The correct way to fire her would be out of a cannon.
LMAO. Oh! The fun way.
But then you're just giving Trump an excuse to say his trademarked phrase, "You're fired."
Into the sun.
I'm guessing this commenter was thinking something a little more... Revolutionary?
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.
This is pretty hard to prove considering the administration has no competent people of any gender.

I mean, it follows his first year term playbook of "blame everyone but me"
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.
Alongside the announcement of Noem’s ouster,
Yay!
the president said he would tap Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., to be her replacement
Boo!
lol
She was discarded like a condom at Charlie Sheen's house.
