Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I had the same thought.
Why does her face make me uncomfortable
Because she killed her dog in a gravel pit, and put that story in her book.
It's called the uncanny valley. Some believe it's an instinctual response to keep you away from corpses. Others say it's more broadly an artifact from a time when humanity needed to be wary of things that looked human but weren't...
Skinwalker
Can't even manage her own security, smh.
Cope harder, Garden Noem.
Oh no!
Anyways...
If a black guy was pulled over with that much cash, the cops would civil forfeiture it because it is obviously proceeds from drug dealing.
I trust they are now investigating her ties to the drug trade?
Human trafficking is probably the more promising direction.
Don't forget to include animal executions...
Silly goose, she's buying drugs.

Everyone here focused on the cash for some reason.
The thief got away with Noem’s driver’s license, medication, apartment keys, passport, DHS access badge, makeup bag, blank checks, and about $3,000 in cash, the law enforcement source said.
The only saving grace is they can lock out that one badge. Hopefully she reported it quickly.
Who the hell still carries around paper checks? I think I've written a total of 3 checks in the past 4-5 years, all for home service like plumbers.
I'm european, born in the 90's. I've never in my life seen a check in person... By the 00's everyone either had a credit card or just used cash.

Old people who wish to punish everyone else in line at the grocery store.

Why? Any rando wandering in can't be worse than the people who are already there.

The person who was responsible for locking out badges was let go last month.

So qualified, she couldn’t even secure her own purse.
It's about the info IN the bag, not the money. Crewde tials, phone, maybe ID. This was a targeted hit 100% because the world's intelligence agencies now know how fucking stupid these people are.
Like, dumb enough to not notice a tail, then get your bag stolen from a restaurant with all kinds of goodies in it dumb.
But obviously it was stolen by a liberal, not a foreign agent, so you’re obviously wrong and stupid.
Well yeah. They were wearing a COVID mask.

Drug using dog killer obviously can't be trusted, she was clearly on the way to buy more drugs. Lost more state secrets than Donald's toilet library

Damn that’s a lot of cash. I like to carry some cash for emergencies, but shit, $3000??
That's the kind of cash that would get civil forfeiture'd for regular people.

The head of Homeland SECURITY doesn't have good enough security to keep her bag from being stolen?
Probably stolen by a member of her own security detail.
Fucking hilarious.

Department of Handbag Security Chief Fails to Secure Handbag.
I'd be willing to bet she just lost it and is blaming crime just as a deflection.

Hunter's Laptop people speaking up in 3...2....1.... wait where are they???
Do normal people routinely carry around $3,000 in cash? (Granted, that could just be the original Picasso that I swear was in the trunk of my Geo Metro when it was stolen).
That's an awful lot of cash to have. What do you need that for? Better "arrest" that money and take it down to the station.
(Not condoning civil asset forfeiture but def making fun of it).

Who goes out with $3k cash? Even if you are so wealthy that the quantity is like $20 for normal people, that's enough to make you a target if someone discovers you have it.

More evidence that we are shifting from a Trickle Down Economy to a Robin Hood Economy (take from the rich, give to the poor).
So the completely unqualified, dog-killing, trump-butt-kissing, hateful, ignorant, worthless, lying, and corrupt piece of filth - who happens to be the secretary of homeland security got her bag stolen?
I think this reaction sums it up best:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Why did the Homeland Security Secretary have $3,000 in cash in her purse?
