Public documents show the Department of Homeland Security has contracted to purchase a pair of top-of-the-line Gulfstream jets for the secretary and other top officials.
The Department of Homeland Security has purchased two Gulfstream private jets for Kristi Noem, the secretary, and other top department officials at a cost of $172 million, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times.
The jets, which a department official said were needed for safety, are the latest expenditures on behalf of Ms. Noem to draw scrutiny from Democrats and other critics who have noted her lavish spending on living and other expenses during her time in public life.
It was not immediately clear where the funding for the jets came from.
I will say that she has a rather different style than she used to.
Here she is as a House Representative for South Dakota, a decade and a half ago:
Here she is in Trump’s cabinet:
Holy shit I’ve never seen what she looked like before. That’s a ton of work.
What the fuck is wrong with these people? Like even from that old image you can tell she was aging relatively gracefully already, so unless the evil is just that corrosive why get the work? Is it just a shitty optics thing and how rich you have to be to blow that much money on that many shitty jobs?
Fuck I’m glad I’m descended from old money, tradesmen, and laborers who took pride in their age cause it will fundamentally stop me from ever considering this shit. Also I don’t need work done to be unsettling on a visual level, my paleness and overall caveman appearance wrongfoots folks enough.
Same crazy eyes.
