Can’t even manage her own security, smh.
You know who carries large amounts of cash?
People who get paid in cash.
I had the same thought.
Cope harder, Garden Noem.
Why does her face make me uncomfortable
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
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).
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.
Have you seen her Meth campaign in South Dakota? Slogan is ‘Meth, we’re on it!’ https://youtu.be/7LVcI-DQdYA
Meth campaign in South Dakota
Is that where it was so bad they had Gators on it? Or was that Kentucky? (Suddenly I have no idea where your provinces are)
If gators and meth are involved it’s Florida
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
Or used it to pay a debt?
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
How the fuck is she going out in public and not being shot in the face? Honest question.
I cannot think of someone more replaceable than her.
Also pretty low on the recognizable list.
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.
In a gravel pit
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.
Italy here, I handled lots of those when I had a business dealing with other businesses. Never for personal stuff, for that I’d have a cashier’s check printed at the bank
Who the hell still carries around paper checks?
Old people who wish to punish everyone else in line at the grocery store.
Big chains accept checks? 😳
I fix cars at a big retail chain and yep. There’s instant verification now where in order to accept it we have to punch all the info into some service on the POS computer to make sure the check clears, but if it does, yeah we take those. Money is money. Checks are still issued and cashed by banks so we still take em.
You say money is money, but I can’t even count the times I’ve seen No cash, no card or other ridiculous rules.
For me, I hand write checks weekly. That 3 percent credit card fee can add up quickly. Invoice me, and get the total payed at the end of the month. Also handy for person to person transactions, where cash is impractical.
That’s why I pay my rent with check, hand delivered to their office. That 3% is a significant chunk of money.
Do standing orders and Direct Debit not exist in the good ol’ USA?
Landlords/management companies sometimes will try to make you go through a payment portal with a fee if you try to do direct debit.
Wow, USA is proper fucked. I hope all the sane ones can leave asap.
The fuck!!! In canada I debit rent to my landlords email thru my bank, 0 fees… outside of the banks normal monthly ones of course. And all the cash apps in the US are so bizarre… like you can’t do any of that through your banks? Why even deal with one then?
My electric bill goes through a payment processor which charges 3% for an ACH transaction. I have tried on at least three occasions to set up direct debit; each time the next day for some reason all of my information mysteriously disappears (and you have to wait five days to pay that way?)

My therapist only takes cash or checks.
I write one check every month for my rent.
It’s so she can write bad checks.
I do, they’re useful for tipping my hairdresser & the shampoo girl and I don’t want to remember to put one in my wallet each time, so I just keep a bunch in my wallet
My hairdresser takes check or cash. No cards.
The person who was responsible for locking out badges was let go last month.
There was a Twitter story where Elon fired so many Twitter folks that for a large window of time, a lot of things was available to the public because the person in charge was fired.
Implying it wasn’t staged
How could we forget about the makeup bag?
Joke aside, the access badge can be revoked immediately (unless Elon somehow fucked that up too). Locks can be changed (and she can probably have that done quickly by a security detail as well as a sweep of the apartment). Blank checks can be canceled at the bank (basically a bulk stop payment on the range of check numbers).
Passport may be a bigger concern, but for someone in a cabinet-level position, anyone attempting to use it would probably be questioned pretty thoroughly.

Elon Musky definitely fucked it up.
That’s assuming she’s honest. There could just as easily have a USB stick with confidential docs in it
No, selling the USB stick was where she got the $3000 cash.
Sadly, you’re giving them too much credit.
Don’t forget Trump is on tape giving away confidential information to reporters for free to make his dick seem bigger
And here in Australia, one of our billionaires confirmed he also showed them confidential information about the submarines.
And these are the cases we know about… There’s no chance the confidential docs at Mar a lago were safe… In fact, the only guarantee there was that there was no cameras installed in the bathrooms (which is likely why he did it)
Checks?! She have some clipped coupons in there too? Damn grandma.
She had a copy of The Epic of Gilgamesh on stone tablets she was reading.
medication
Oh no, not my prescription crack pipe!
Shouldn’t have to remind them, it’s literally DHS, but hope they shut down that badge’s access.
Most people would not have “quick” context for an “access badge”. But they do instantly understand “cash”.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer Nazi bitch
Brutal, I love 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.
Someone who gets paid in cash
That comedian… You know the one. The young Jerry Seinfeld… He did coke and then made a Netflix comedy show about doing coke.
Idk, one time I had $20k in cash. It happens.
Typically when you’re moving money, such as buying or selling something.
I bet you didn’t casually leave it in your unattended bag. I paid $5k cash for a car once and planned that payment out carefully to minimize the time I had the money in hand.
I once did some consulting for the IAEA in Vienna. They paid you in CASH at that time. As an American I felt really really uncomfortable walking around Vienna with 3-4k in my pocket. Austrians thought nothing of doing so.
Compare the crime rates in both countries and you’ll find out why the difference in attitudes.
So qualified, she couldn’t even secure her own purse.
