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
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
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!

You know who carries large amounts of cash?
People who get paid in cash.
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.
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.
"Hey guys, can we turn off all the cameras so nobody sees the drug deal I'm trying to do?"
More evidence that we are shifting from a Trickle Down Economy to a Robin Hood Economy (take from the rich, give to the poor).
I mean unless her phone was in it... although who just walks around DC with $3k lmao
I once knew a rich guy who carried two envelopes in his suit pockets. One carried small bills for tips and such, and the other carried large bills because "you never know when you are going run across a good gun deal."
I'm pretty sure if I want a good gun deal I'm leaving DC and going to Virginia
I'd be willing to bet she just lost it and is blaming crime just as a deflection.
With all that's going on, my instinct is that she had secrets or something in there on a USB stick and passed it onto another country while blaming crime. (Or that is, crimes other than her own.)
Ooh, I vote this one. Selling state secrets under the guise of crime

How the fuck is she going out in public and not being shot in the face? Honest question.
Supposedly she has a lot of homeland security protection. But not good enough to stop her stuff from being stolen?
Probably gave her all the TSA rejects.

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.
Someone who gets paid in cash

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?

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.
Hopefully she reported it quickly.
Why? Any rando wandering in can't be worse than the people who are already there.
I'm laughing at the idea of a hobo walking in smelling like piss and shit and wearing her badge, and staff going, "Morning Kristi!".
"Have you noticed Kristi seems more like an actual human being than usual?"
She smells worse, but damned if she isn't so much nicer.
"Not that much worse, mind you."
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.

The 80s called. They want their shoulder pads back.
Department of Handbag Security Chief Fails to Secure Handbag.
So qualified, she couldn’t even secure her own purse.
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

Hunter's Laptop people speaking up in 3...2....1.... wait where are they???
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.
Not all the tials were crewde.
