What scandal? They're openly corrupt and no consequences have followed so far.

Noem was removed from her position recently due to scandal. Weeks ago.

Noem was removed because she fell out of favour with Trump.

Yes, due to the $220 million advertising spend scandal and her claims about it.

Because she blamed it on Trump. Had she not blamed Trump, he would have likely protected her.

She should have been tied to a wooden post and shipped out of DC on an uncovered railcar for labelling a peaceful protester assassinated by ICE a "domestic terrorist".

Her scandal was not being subtle enough with the theft of government funds for Trump's taste, and he found a way to get rid of her that he could claim he had no part in.

I dont see the us empire recovering. This is in the starting / middle of a collapse. If any additional crises pop up inconjunction to this we are going to fall like the bronze age collapse

railcar? is that a metaphor?

she should be tried for corruption and manslaughter.

It's a reference to the saying "run out of town on a rail"
