I too would like to escape accountability (for murders, illegal imprisonment and kidnapping of people to foreign countries) by my manager putting me in a different department, and the opposing party thinking "Oh, that person's no longer in that position, that's a win for us!" and journalists being scared parrots instead of being a challenging fifth estate..
Did everybody in that country get RFK Jr's brainworm or something?
I repeat, if a company could break the law, and escape accountability by moving the figurehead to a different department, and putting a different asshole in her place... what sort of accountability is there?
I should just make a government where there are 365 DHS leaders, and if you want to get accountability about what the DHS did yesterday, well, lucky you, that DHS leader lost her job at midnight last night!
That makes me think of the UK government, where utter fuckheads resign because they did something embarassing, and a few months later get called back into government. Peter Mandelson (friend of Epstein) for Department for Children, Schools and Families when?
> Trump, who said he would nominate in her place Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin, made the announcement on social media on Thursday, two days after Noem faced a grilling on Capitol Hill from GOP members as well as Democrats.
One idiot replaced by another. Whee.
> Trump says he’ll make Noem a “Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas,” a new security initiative that he said would focus on the Western Hemisphere.
At least he's learned to keep them in-administration so they don't immediately go write a tell-all book.
Their books wouldn't say much more than what we already know anyway.

She still needs to face consequences for her leadership in Minneapolis as well as the corrupt ad-campaign that seems to have funneled hundreds of millions to their associates (and probably themselves)

Win-wise, it does show the administration is still at least somewhat vulnerable to public outcry and backlash. That's a good thing.

She's been fired; they made up a new position for her that's clearly to keep her under their thumb rather than be a free agent.
Any accountability beyond that is gonna need an election first.
I don’t see evidence for that. She expressed ambition to run for President. That threatened the secretive succession plan around Trump.
Not fired, moved. This part of the plan of ratcheting open the Overton window.
