We had a group of independent professionals within the federal government whose mandate was to look for waste, fraud, and abuse. They’re known as Inspectors General. Trump illegally fired all of them.

She's a joke and should get the same grace she gave her animals.

Was thinking the same thing.

She can’t justify it because there is no excuse for exposing our financials to the party of tRump. This man doesn’t blink twice before taking someone else’s money. Average Americans work hard to protect their data but it gets exposed over and over. And our very own government just handed it over to a billionaire and his crew of tech savvy kids who are not smart enough to realize that in any other world but Magaz they have committed a felony. They all committed felonies and need to be charged and sentenced. Remember the people who have gone to jail for sharing government secrets? Well that is what musk and his merry band have just done. Exposed them to the world. Do not be naive about this. They will have caused harm to some of our citizens. They need to be stopped now and removed from access.

My personal fav! 🤣🤣🤣

She is a waste of carbon and water, an absolute intellectual fraud, and her existence is the epitome of abuse of the public trust. Plus, she murdered a puppy.

And a goat.

That animal murderer puppy, goat horses belongs in prison in Gen pop. Sociopaths get off on torturing and killing animals. All felon 47 picks are unqualified, but Noem is the worse of the worst.

She is a fool completely unqualified for her position as are most of trumps choices, and certainly trump himself.

Her name should be pronounced as numb, because it rhymes with dumb and there is certainly a correlation.

Well, nothing is surprising about how she talks, how much of the verbiage is simply mouth salad. Some of us in SD tried to get people to know her as she really is, and there are many who are sorry she now has such an important post in our national government.

Unsurprising. A dumb idiot, who’s way above her supposed pay grade apparently. But that’s who the GOP are- idiots and thieves. Awful people all the time and all the way.

There is no audit going on.

An audit would consist of reviewing contracts and agreements and reconciling the money in and out of the payment system.

That's not what is happening because there is not 1 auditor, forensic accountant or risk manager overseeing what DOGE is doing.

Auditors don't have read/write access, certainly not write access. Read access if they are performing an walk-through of the internal controls.

Auditors would obtain reports and pull samples to verify completeness accuracy and timeliness.

MUSK is simply selecting payments that conflict with his biased and conflicting interests.

Simple as that and NOEM IS A LYING IDIOT

If only we had someone in the media telling us what an actual audit looks like. Thank you for realist facts.

A government auditor would be certified and adhere to generally accepted audit standards

Generally Accepted Auditing Standards Generally Accepted Auditing Standards https://g.co/kgs/seDjwBG

Our government already had these resources before Musk fired everyone

An audit plan with the scope of the audit and who was performing the audit would have been laid out and appropriately vetted prior to DOGE tearing through the Treasury payment

platform.

I wasn't a government auditor but what I wrote in short description is accurate.

You can research yourself as well

I would have been interested in her opinion on Lutheran Social Services being a money laundering organization. Would have love to hear her explanation of that.

She's a moron, just like everyone else in this maladministration.

Expand full comment

She is certainly challenged as it relates to brain issues. Could be a medical condition. But sure, let’s give her a position in government so that we (Trump) can control her.

SHE IS A DING BAT, WHO HAS NO CLUE AS TO WHAT TO SAY. TRUMPS PICKS ARE NOT DOING SO WELL NOW ARE THEY?

Like all the felon’s picks, “gnome” is fumbling as predicted. Not one can give a definitive answer or explanation without solidifying his or her own incompetency.

Exactly 💯 % correct

I have a hard time understanding how she functioned as a governor - she answers like those wannabe pageant contestants who are asked about global peace. What one would wish she had said is that FEMA has been broken for a long time and needs an overhaul which the President is discussing with members of Congress. Instead we get stuff and nonsense.

She was governor of North Dakota

Just a bit south Larry per Wikipedia “she previously served as the 33rd governor of South Dakota from 2019 to 2025”

The governor of ND is also now in the Snake's administration as Secretary of the Interior. ND has a lot of federal land which gets tourists. ND also doesn't want oil to destroy the land they love. Something the Orange Snake wants to do.
