Iβd ask how stupid Kristi Noem thinks we are, but the answer is clear. So is the question of how stupid she is.
I need someone to explain to me how not letting people use automated kiosks that use biometric scans to allow you to enter the country, and instead making them stand in line to speak to an agent is somehow less expensive and requires less manpower.

She responded βbut Iβm short.β (I β¦ donβt know why.)
Let me preface this by saying she was an absolute diva through the entire run up. Every time she saw a poster for the event that didnβt specifically mention her as a panelist (most of them only named the two keynotes) she would email me and ask if she βshould plan not to speak.β
