i tried. what they are doing makes me want to scream, throw myself on the floor, and weep. #CrimesAgainstHumanity
Nielsen herself looks to me as if she has a permanent obnoxious scowl on her overdone face and simply sickens me. She is disrespectful and as honest as trump himself, not even a little tiny bit.

(3,115 posts)Dump's cabinet members only know how to sneer, lie and act like they're being attacked. Disgusting.
perhaps lying to Congress is a charge that would stick for that horror of a human.

(28,811 posts)pretty much all of trumpworld, indeed most republicans, are sociopaths and don't care, they do not care. My own sister doesn't care. She's been eaten by Fox News, she has her bogeyman and it's "migrants" (black and brown ones), and she does not care. this reality has tainted our relationship perhaps irrevocably.
Back in the gw days, John Dean wrote a book Conservatives Without Conscience. I think it should be brought back in print. They're all bad people.

(102,379 posts)were persuaded to deliver electrical shocks to their colleagues (unknown to be fake), with increasing strength until fatal doses were ultimately delivered (Milgram Experiment). The willingness to respond to the authority figure seemingly unquestionably to hurt another (in opposition to any conscience) was the outcome measured. While in the original experiments, men were far more likely to comply to deliver the shocks, I could see Nielsen being the female exception. In fact, I'd guess she'd even volunteer.
She's an abysmal excuse for a human being. Thank heavens she has no children (and hopefully no pets nor elderly in her care or vicinity).
May her karma haunt her long after she is drummed out of her position.

(23,337 posts)and didnt make it very far. Nielsen is an awful person who is awful at her job. She is a liar and treats anyone who questions her with snarling disrespect. I dont know is she is a mother herself but if she is, I pity her kids. She has no soul...just a gaping black hole where it should be.

(28,811 posts)i just saw a worthy clip from the hearing on fb. Rep Nanette Barragan's questioning was stellar and Nielsen looked as bad as she is.
recommended. i've watched it a couple times already.

(47,613 posts)where she was asked about children in cages. When she kept protesting that they were NOT cages, I wanted them to ask her if she would be comfortable with her children in one of those "not cages".
She has really aged since she took this job and I am amazed that she hasn't quit. If she had resigned, people might have been more sympathetic, but now this will be her legacy until the day she dies. If she was hoping for the privilege and status that comes with such a position, she was really shortsighted.
But maybe she doesn't have children and doesn't give a damn.
she doesn't have children and I know she doesn't give a damn.
It does appear that she has no children. I hope she saved her money, because I'm not sure she'll ever be hired again for anything. Just her Wikipedia page alone is disturbing.

No excusing that.

(28,811 posts)he and my sister are racist foxbots and i'm sure his version of 1944 was that the world was white and he would like to see it stay that way.
