Still, one has to wonder about her security detail. Nobody should have been able to get close enough to steal her purse from her,

want to bet that she had a pistol in her bag too?

Also, there is a real advantage in having Trump's people in office in this situation. Normally, with the dhs id and personal id of a high-ranking official being stolen, there would be increased security concerns necessitating law enforcement alerts. With Trump's people already in place we can be sure that the agencies have already been compromised. Any two-bit cyberhoodlum in Moscow already could access Noem's information if they wanted.

better hope you do not get stopped on the way.

The DOJ says that carrying that much cash is ALWAYS drug proceeds

Big people carry more cash. Could be emergency money, she doesn't want to leave it home to be susceptible to theft. Or it could be for fringe expenses, but I doubt they can manufacture something out of it unless there's more evidence. Question is, where'd she get it? Cashing a paycheck, bank withdrawals ... not a problem. Not sticking up for her, just listening.

And was her reaction, "tough Girl mode" or perhaps to soften her image a bit she....





She had to make up for her faux pas with the locked and loaded assault rifle she had pointed to a fellow agent's head. She had to show her vulnerable side.

......then there will be no financial trail. That way we'll never know how many trips she took to look that ghoulish.

to grind off those pock-marked cheeks... and plain CRISCO should work fine on those inflated lips.

(Plus, with the large sized can, she could get a whole WEEK out of it!)

(The girl needs to budget better. )
