    How do they justify a second jet? Is that specifically to rub our faces in it or do they at least go through the motions of coming up with a bullshit excuse?

    My house made of wood, dry all and nails is 500,000. How did she get a jet for 100,000?

      The article doesn’t say it was that cheap. That’s just the threshold at which Noem demands to personally sign off on expenses. So she signed off on $170,000,000 worth of private jets for herself.
