Stupidity is a badge of honor': How Kristi Noem follows in the 'grand tradition of Sarah Palin'​

Salon Senior writer Amanda Marcotte says President Donald Trump's Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement adores a “bimbo."

“In the world of MAGA, stupidity is a badge of honor for both sexes, but the heads of women need to be thoroughly empty,” Marcotte writes. “Book learning, in MAGA-land, is for lesbians and cat ladies. Intelligence gets in the way of the true duties of MAGA womanhood: keeping up your highly artificial appearance and, crucially, defending the man you serve with your whole heart and soul.”


As example, Marcotte said look to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem proudly proclaiming ignorance of the meaning behind habeas corpus. “‘Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country and suspend their right to,’ Noem said through her unnervingly Botox-inflated lips.”

Was Noem, who got a college degree through online courses, has taken the “role of the proud MAGA bimbo, in the grand tradition of figures like Sarah Palin," Marcotte writes. "The MAGA bimbo isn't just ignorant. She's contemptuous of people who actually know what they're talking about, especially if those facts-laden human beings are fellow women.”

Where the 20th-century version of the "bimbo" is a dim and mostly good-hearted woman, the MAGA movement makes the bimbo a nasty figure, “as cruel as she is dumb.” The modern right-wing man wants an attack dog, “someone who will charge in to fight your battles, unconstrained by intellectual concerns.”

“Ignorance is bliss,” said Marcotte, “at least for bigots.”

The origins of this bimbo devolution lies in reality TV like ‘The Apprentice,’ and ‘Real Housewives’, “where petty and cruel behavior is rewarded over human decency.”

Noem shapes herself around the stereotype of the wine-throwing real housewife, pairing “expensive clothes and plastic surgery with displays of breathtaking sadism, all performed as if she is literally too stupid to know better.”

“That's how we get pictures of Noem in full makeup with a $60,000 Rolex parading around in front of half-naked men in a torture prison, like she's a real-life "Ilsa, She Wolf of the S.S." Or wearing various uniforms with full makeup and a blowout to conduct raids, earning the nickname 'ICE Barbie.'"

“The bimbo can only act on impulse, never information. In this MAGA narrative, it's liberals who are the meanies for asking more of a woman viewed as mentally incapable of handling it,” Marcotte wrote.


 

Kristi Noem’s Gloat Over Dismissed Migrants Lawsuit Sparks Outrage​

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem drew swift backlash on Thursday after posting a celebratory but crude message on social media in response to the dismissal of a lawsuit against her department.

“Suck it,” Noem wrote on X, formerly Twitter, attaching a screenshot of a court notice confirming that a group of 10 detained immigrants had voluntarily withdrawn their legal challenge to potentially being sent to Guantanamo.

Seven of the group had already been removed from the U.S. “rendering their claims moot” and three “no longer wished to continue litigating this case,” said the notice.

Critics condemned Noem’s post.

“What an absolute clown show,” one user wrote, while others described her response as “classless,” “embarrassing” and “beyond disgraceful.”

The cruelty is the point. We have a segment of our population that controls one political party, whose ethos is cruelty towards the “out group.” Stupid people empowered this party and group last November in no small part due to the crisis manufactured by the media. They manufactured an “inflation crisis” while ignoring the obvious mental health of Trump, the seriousness of his crimes, and what his 2024 proposals would do the economy.

Just found out that due to the Big Beautiful Billionaire Bonus Bill that just passed, I now have to pay an extra $100 dollars each year because my wife's car is a hybrid.
If you drive a fully electric vehicle then you have to pay an extra $250 each year.

I guess it's because drivers of those vehicles use less gas and therefore pay less taxes on the gas that they aren't buying and the taxes paid on gas goes towards fixing roads and stuff and hybrid drivers and electric vehicle drivers also use the roads so they should contribute as much towards roadwork.

And that actually makes sense but it still sucks. Also, why not make people pay a fee who simply drive less often and shorter distances?
If you walk (or ride a bike) to work or the store then you should be subjected to this extra fee. If you are retired and don't work and rarely drive then you should have to pay this fee. Use public transportation? Pay the fee. Carpool? Pay the fee. Live really close to work? Pay the fee.
You might say, well those people aren't using the roads as much so they shouldn't have to pay as much but I might own a hybrid or EV and also walk (or bike) to the store and to work and live close to work and be retired etc.

It feels like a fee that exists to incentivize people to buy gas only cars and punish those who don't buy gas only cars.

Shut it you college educated coastal elitist Marxist. The working class slobs have had enough of elites like you with your fancy schmancy hybrid cars. You think you’re better than we working class folks types. You probably read good and think illegals deserve to not be mindlessly deported to gulags in El Salvador. Loser. Which is why we voted for Trump, in your face #letsgoBrandon. And once he and our team ram this through late at night without really reading it, we’ll celebrate another W and L for your side. Rah rah rah! So much winning!

250 dollars is a half a tank of brain dead Biden gas once he’s sold all the US reserves, blows up the nord stream pipeline, and lets Russia invade Ukraine.
Plus, I guarantee fish is not college educated.

It’s important to remember that Trump voters can’t admit that they were ever wrong. They’ll replace his nonsensical ramblings with whatever inner speech they can invent so their worldview isn’t burst and ego dismantled. The truth is, they’re living in an alternative reality while the rest of the world sees America as weaker and more corrupt. They know Trump is incompetent. Even Trump’s allies in the GOP merely use him as a useful idiot to accomplish their own selfish agendas (be it project 2025, beating up immigrants, or cashing in with tax cuts).

Just like he did with the Jan 6 Insurrectionists. If there’s on consistency with Trump’s pardons, racist scumbags always get pardons. Like camp Auschwitz dude here.

The people who support this disgusting president are gross. I guess the media they consume doesn’t show them who Trump is pardoning. And even if it did, it would portray it as team sports, “we’re winning and it’s irritating the other side!” If this were part of my tribe, I would find a different tribe. And if the president I voted for pardoned a degenerate like this, I’d definitely stop supporting him.

It’s all team sports “leave no maga behind”:
