Originally published at: Noem Says She’ll Get Creative In Acting On Trump’s Threats Against Zohran Mamdani - TPM – Talking Points Memo
Since the MAGA hordes first learned about the existence of NYC Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani last week, they’ve been losing their minds — tripping over themselves to lob racist and Islamophobic attacks at the candidate and fearmonger about “communism.” It’s, in part, of a piece with the now-familiar Republican tendency to paint any up-and-coming…
According to the maga masses Mamdani can’t be kicked out fast enough. He’s a threat to their self assurance that only they, and their cult leader, are qualified to rule. Any opportunity for a brown Muslim to be mayor of our largest city must be eliminated.
If Trump told Noem to get down on all fours and bark like a dog, she get down in a heartbeat. Then if he called her a bad dog, she’d shoot herself.
Not the only reason she’d get down on all fours.
Here’s a cat. And my favorite example of machine translated ad copy. And a product that he wants:
Edit: Noem isn’t partially inspired by xenophobia and racism. That’s all she is inspired by. That’s all that’s there. No watermelon dreams for her.
This fucking country, man, I don’t know.
I thought only tinpot dictatorships expelled political foes from their countries.
Oh, wait . . .
Maybe she ought to stick to following the law?
Man, what a failed human she is.
And as for that story from Idaho, clearly, everyone is not welcome here.
Especially in public schools. Education, what’s in it for me, eh??
Ah, how I long for the good old days of the Defenestration of Prague, when leaders of our current ilk were…well… defenestrated.
She would take it like a bitch dog too. She’s despicable. Of all the hateful people in the Cabinet, she is the worst. Bondage comes in second.
Noem provides another way to say “I don’t have a clue” without openly admitting stupidity.
That aside, I doubt there are many “good minds” around that would work for Noem even if they were completely lacking in scruples: anyone with their wits about them can see that the fate of Trump factotums is typically double-plus not good; better to stay out of the line of fire and go for the side-grift.
Anyone here from South Dakota? Has Noem always been like this, or is it the Botox?
“I’m going to need some good minds on how to use those authorities”
How to use unnecessary authority to push around good citizens. The definition of Big Government. Democrats oppose Big Government.
Democrats favor representative government.
What exactly do the collective Republican malaise expect to end up with? Again, no work really put to maintaining order and a sense of government, even if for themselves. Do they think they can deport everyone not them? That is going to be a rough haul. Do they think the world now clicks into place with their chosen groups gone? As if they can achieve that. Some of those ICE agents are going to end up in the sights as well. There is no end game. Just this raw nerve sense of other and victimization.
I thinks it’s South Dakota. It’s a fucked up place.
Does Botox make you look and act like one of thoser latex sex dolls they showcase on occasion.
Never mind. I withdraw my question.
Let’s give her a break.
There are only so many means of pulling wings off of flies and she’s done used up all of 'em.
In other MAGAt funnies…
It’s one way to keep MAGA’s faux populist promises from having to go toe-to-toe with policies that might actually help working-class Americans.
Republicans don’t have policies to help the middle class. We are a giant pool of cash special interests fight over.
[Republicans are] especially concerned how their communities could access a limited pot of $50 billion for rural hospitals in the legislation.
My community neighbors, half of that $50 billion is already gone promised. Been there - Got the t-shirt.
Allowing these crooked, racist traitors to cheat their way back into power will cost America dearly.
The degree of petty personal animosity and disproportionate reprisal ought to shock most Americans. Deport a guy because he won a primary?? Take away his American citizenship???
Americans ought to be shocked and enraged. And we ought to be reminding them. The Democrats can’t do it alone. They also seem to be having some trouble figuring out HOW to do it. Maybe we ought to help them with that, too.
