The Genius That Isn't Kristi Noem

DHS head reportedly authorized purchase of 10 engineless Spirit Airlines planes that airline didn’t own


Sheer stupidity of this is just off the scale. 
 
Wall Street Journal reports Kristi Noem arranged purchase to expand deportation flights and for personal travel 

It's always about the grift. For the 'goat killer' government service means enriching yourself and screwing the American people. 

The secretary of the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Kristi Noem, reportedly authorized the purchase of Spirit Airlines jets before discovering the airline didn’t actually own the planes – and that the aircraft lacked engines.

The bizarre anecdote was contained in a Wall Street Journal report released on Friday, which recounted how Noem and Corey Lewandowski – who managed Donald Trump’s first winning presidential campaign – had recently arranged to buy 10 Boeing 737 aircraft from Spirit Airlines. People familiar with the situation told the paper that the two intended to use the jets to expand deportation flights – and for personal travel.
