    Why do I recognize that name? And why does it conjure a vague feeling of rage and disgust?

    IKR? Putting the cheek fillers/fat removal aside, why can’t plastic surgery improve necks or hands? Honest question.

    Did they finally figure out a way to resurrect the broken corpse of Hitler with AI?

    To be clear, inbred poster boy, Markwayne Mullin, will almost certainly be worse than Noem.

    1. Mullin tried to physically fight someone during an official proceeding until Bernie Sanders yelled at him to sit down and behave like a member of Congress.

    2. Mullin tried ripping the "Black People Are Not Apes" sign out of Al Green's hand during the State of the Union.

    3. There are pictures of Mullin cowering in fear during Jan 6, after helping incite it.

    4. There are pictures of Mullin standing on a box behind a podium to match the height of his debate opponent.

    He is an inbred and a coward with a chip on his shoulder. Expect more Constitutional violations.

    How can he be both President and Secretary of whatever specific bullshit this is?

    I think it means that Trump is replacing her with someone else, not that he's taking both positions. I was confused at first too.

    From the article:

    President Donald Trump says he's replacing his embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and will nominate in her place Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin.

    The headline is just really stupidly worded.

    It's certainly some light title gore.

    Agentive interpretation, not anticausative.

    If only there were some way to make the title less arbitrary.

    It's not arbitrary - it's ambiguous. Context clues, world knowledge, and the entire attached article are more than enough to resolve the ambiguity.

    All natural human languages show structural ambiguity like this, especially when it comes to headlines which famously favor brevity over clarity, and the built in feature of human language to solve it is pragmatics.

    but it’s a start.

    Nah. Markwayne Mullin will be worse. But he'll be instructed to chill out until after the midterms since the traitor party is scared it'll be a bloodbath for them if they can't do something about public perception.
