Christi Noem shoots dogs which is a known behavioral symptom associated with psychopaths. Psychopaths have no empathy for others. They are entirely only interested in selfish ends. She fits right in with the rest of trump’s cabinet.

Trump writes it off as the cost of doing business

Making government to NOT work is making lives lost. It's killing people. It goes beyond not helping. The system was removed, personnel fired and now broken. It goes beyond Noem, it's Trump, his entire Cabinet and White House advisors.

I made a comment immediately afterwards about this. I didn’t have any action on the response, though I appreciate all the hard work and efforts to respond and recover as much as possible.

It is not just about the fact the Trump administration officials have gutted the resources.

They are incompetent and their response and efforts since the administration took over show their ignorance and lack of leadership. They severely lack any integrity, therefore are not accountable.

Agree with all your points here! It’s disgusting how they try to deflect the blame onto citizens

Thank you and agreed!

Outstanding analysis as always, thank you. I think about events like this as I reflect that it seems to be almost a MAGA maxim that the cruelty is part of the point. Is it meanness or just indifference to the suffering of the working class and marginalized?

Thank you so much, and I'd go with indifference!
