Ousting Kirstjen Nielsen was part of Stephen Miller’s overhaul for more extreme officials: CBS

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was reportedly shown the door Sunday, during a meeting with President Donald Trump. It’s part of a larger overhaul of the entire department at the hands of top aide Stephen Miller, CBS News reported.

“Nielsen’s expected departure is a part of a massive DHS overhaul engineered and directed by top Trump adviser Stephen Miller, according to a senior U.S. official,” the report said. “It’s unclear whether Nielsen is deciding to resign voluntarily, or whether she has been pressured to resign. Nielsen has served as DHS secretary since December 2017, and questions about how much longer she might last have swirled for months, as the president continues to articulate his frustrations about illegal immigration.”....

1. She should be in jail

for contempt of court.

[Kurt V.]

6. +1

[hlthe2b]

7. Exactly... She has no reputation to "salvage"; If we were part of the ICC, she'd be the

first female, yet first of many Trumpsters charged. Maybe Karma can do what justice system will not.

[PatrickforO]

30. There is no escaping from karma.

Each person must bear the full weight, eventually, of all their actions - and that includes thoughts, words and deeds. The trouble is we never see it because it happens in subsequent lifetimes.

At least that is my own belief. I'm not asking you to believe as I do, though.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

38. Opportunity knocks. Karma hunts you down.

[Demovictory9]

74. yep

[Miigwech]

8. She knows this ... rat jumping ship

or, she can't bow to Satan any longer ... 46,000 child separations. She is done and should spend the rest of her life (out of jail) helping children. Maybe then she can fit through the eye of a needle.

[RVN VET71]

41. You need a soul to get into heaven

Kirstjen sold hers for a chance to dance with power.

[politicaljunkie41910]

75. He's actually firing her, but I guess he's letting her save face by offering to let her resign.

Poor thing. This is what happens when you make a deal with the Devil. There is no way you can keep the Devil satisfied; you just have to keep selling your soul to him over and over again. How many more will follow in her footsteps until they just cannot continue to do his crazy ass bidding for him, while they cannot continue to look themselves in the mirror any more. When will they learn that when Drumpf comes calling for that meeting in the Oval where he wants to offer you a job, the only correct response is to run like your life depends on it. Run Forest Run.

[gopiscrap]

18. totally agree

[dixiegrrrrl]

64. This willl certainly delay the request for info. that Congress asked for.

Meanwhile, Miller's fascist ideology continues. I sure hope there is a subpoena with his name on it lying around.

[dhol82]

69. I wish there were a way to remove his 'three precious'

Might make him more of a mensch.

[hedda_foil]

73. Her "departure is a part of a massive DHS overhaul engineered and directed by ... Stephen Miller. "

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Did she jump or was she pushed?

[Miigwech]

22. Does a rat need to ordered to jump ship?

[WheelWalker]

3. Hmmm, I wonder if somehow she made a prominent appearance in Mueller's report?

Call me crazy... my kids do.

[pnwmom]

17. She's in a losing battle with the judge who's just ordered her to find thousands more

lost migrant children, in addition to the 2800 they've finally located.

[machoneman]

54. I do wonder if any miscreant did actually ask for tracking data of some type long ago...

to at least rejoin kids with parents after they got deported.

Where they so cruel as to NOT do so on purpose?

Ah, silly me!

I answered my own question. Sorry!

[dlk]

4. She Belongs in a Cage...

[uponit7771]

13. +1, or kidnapped from her family then "lost" with no contact from them for months to years

[Leghorn21]

28. Fuckin A right

That’s one foul human right there, just FOUL

[vlyons]

5. about time

A shitty job for sure. Although any Trump job would be a shitty job, but locking kids up has got to be one of the worst. Dare we hope that she will squeal about Trump's criminality? Probably not. I hope Congress drags her ass back in to testify. They ought to send her to the Hague for crimes against humanity. Send Trump too.

[watoos]

9. Maybe they're making a sequel

to 101 Dalmations?

[uponit7771]

10. Yep, they found the "special showers" for the kids near the border ...

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

11. Good.

Good news.

[John Fante]

12. Trump's stench will follow her wherever she goes.

For the rest of her days. It ain't ever coming off.

I like that.

[BadgerMom]

47. It's HER stench as well as Trump's.

[John Fante]

63. True. Everyone associated with the Trump administration

is loathsome in their own right.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. Do you suppose Trump doesn't think she's evil *enough*?

[spinbaby]

45. I suspect that's why she's gone

Trump wanted things that were too evil even for her.

[Solly Mack]

15. She needs to go to prison.

But she'll be as free as Bush and Cheney (and all the rest).

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

16. What's the matter? Are the current policies not psychotic enough for her? nt

[lkinwi]

19. Makes me wonder what vile human will replace her.

[sinkingfeeling]

20. I'd say hurray, but her replacement might be worse

[sandensea]

23. +1

DHS will probably go from Eva Braun Nielsen, to something like this:

[AdamGG]

50. Trump would probably give the job to Joe Arpaio if he was younger

The cadre of people around Trump have nearly all turned over in 2 years, all becoming more sycophantic and extreme, and the original group was horrible to start with.

[Dem2theMax]

66. Will definitely be worse.

They always are. Drumpf really knows how to pick 'em.

[sandensea]

21. Eva Braun Nielsen. Good riddance.

She'll probably buy a lakeside inn in the Andes.

[machoneman]

55. Good name. Think she escaped Nazi Germany in 1945 on that long U-Boat ride....

to South America. Admit she look good for her age though......must be all those kid's livers she ate!

[sandensea]

62. Could be. Who's to say.

I'll tell you though, when Hitler said "we lost the war; but shall win the peace," the Cheeto regime is exactly what he meant.

Hitler felt the average U.S. voter was naive, gullible, and easily manipulated with racial fears (the "browning of America" ) or red baiting.

It's certainly true of most of our GOP friends and neighbors. The things you hear from those people, day and day out.

[UniteFightBack]

24. Didn't rump say they were going in a 'tougher direction'? I hope she was fired...she doesn't

have the good sense to resign or she would of done it long ago.

This woman is irredeemable as far as I'm concerned. All the lying. She is foul.

[PatrickforO]

25. She is still guilty of crimes against humanity, and must be

tried.

[BumRushDaShow]

26. I thought I had heard a blip on the news this weekend

that he wanted someone "tougher" on immigration or some such nonsense.

[sheshe2]

27. May she rot in hell for hell crimes against the children. nt

[Iliyah]

29. And each replacement gets worse and worse . .

Kelly was terrible. Nielson was and still is horrible. The next one will be even more so. Ugh. Get rid of this whole administration, cabinet and DOJ.

There is evidence of this WH traitorous actions alongwith the Republican party.

[DesertRat]

31. Which sociopath will replace her?

[Leghorn21]

33. This guy, Rat:

I am pleased to announce that Kevin McAleenan,
the current U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Commissioner, will become Acting Secretary for
@DHSgov. I have confidence that Kevin will do a great job!

[DesertRat]

37. Thanks. I'm relieved it's not Steven Miller. nt

[dewsgirl]

42. Terrifying thought, he is probably worse.

[NewJeffCT]

58. or Joe Arpaio

or David Clarke

[dixiegrrrrl]

70. No comfort...HE writes the policies they carry out.

And Trump is avoiding getting the agency heads confirmed by hiring them as "acting" heads.
So he and Miller have a freer hand in their despicable policies.
You just KNOW Yertle has been telling him how to avoid Congressional oversight.

[Leghorn21]

32. Twitler confirms:

Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen will be leaving
her position, and I would like to thank her for her service....

[snort]

35. Ta Ta Fuckhead.

[elfin]

36. In over her head from the start -

Past incompetence (but not necessarily primary heartlessness) shown in Katrina, but parlayed her Repub. connections, mainly General Kelly to upward and more powerful positions.

She may not have wanted this gig, but Kelly wanted her there to have someone in Homeland under his influence after he left it to take the chief of Staff. She is close with him and his family, to the point of sharing holidays with them. (She may not have her own family - don't know.)

She is also a Repub., but this assignment got away from her, especially after Kelly's influence waned with the WH.

Not cutting her slack, because she should have quit long, long ago. She did a horrible job in a horrible job.

[joe_stampingbull]

39. the evil asshole treated her like a POS

I laugh!

[cp]

40. Good effing riddance!

Still won't protect her from prison.

[Mike Nelson]

43. She was a bad DHS secretary...

… the next one will be worse.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

46. "Bad" is a feature and not a bug in the Trump administration, but he probably wanted someone worse.

More of a Dr. Mengele than a Nurse Ratched.

[lunatica]

44. May the albatross of her karma cling to her for life

She should be unemployable and unemployed for life.

[happybird]

52. Well said. nt

[volstork]

48. I assume she will be followed by

someone ten times worse.

[Fritz Walter]

49. I recommend she take a nice, relaxing trip to the Netherlands

Amsterdam is nice.
So are Rotterdam, Utrecht, and Delft, especially when the tulips are in bloom!

She should definitely plan on a visit to the Hague. And stay awhile...

[rso]

51. DHS

What’s the difference ? Does anyone think her replacement will be any better ?

[LiberalArkie]

53. From Wikipedia

United States Secretary of Homeland Security
Kirstjen Michele Nielsen is an American attorney and notorious child abuser who held several positions within the Trump administration before serving as the sixth United States Secretary of Homeland Security. She is a former Principal Deputy White House Chief of Staff t…

[Kurt V.]

56. we have acting directors of interior, defense, hhs and now homeland security. impeach this mf.

[LiberalArkie]

57. Border apprehensions rising?

[Honeycombe8]

59. Another one bites the dust. Fired for doing what she was told? Or for being inept?

Or she quit for being told to do something inhumane?

[TeamPooka]

60. another "acting" leader to avoid Senate confirmation hearings.

It will be a long time, if ever, that Trump nominates a real replacement

[Roland99]

61. Bye, Felicia

[gademocrat7]

65. Another evil viper slithers away.

Nielsen should be tried for crimes against humanity.

[Grokenstein]

67. "I have confidence that Kevin will do a great job!"

Just like he had confidence in Ilsa, She-Chihuahua of the SS! Note to whichever grown-up wrote that for TheDolt: He's pretended to say that about EVERY asshat he's brought into his Council of Fascist Toadies.

[LudwigPastorius]

68. "Ousting Kirstjen Nielsen was part of Stephen Miller's overhaul for more extreme officials"

I'm sure Stevie and Trump will find some "very fine people" to fill the roles. People preferably in khaki dockers carrying tiki torches and chanting rousing slogans. Nein?

[llmart]

71. There aren't enough swear words in my vocabulary to say what I think of this evil woman.

The fact that a woman condoned what was done to these children make sit all the worse. If there is a hell, she belongs there.

[rpannier]

72. Secretary of Separation is being separated from the herd

[procon]

76. If Steven Miller is involved, the immigration

mess that Trump created is going to become a whole lot worse.
