@kurteichenwald
To those who sacrifice your reputations to Trump like @SecNielsen - you will be remembered for what you did there, not for anything else that preceded selling your soul to this madman. Here, Kirstjen Nielsen, are the topics that will always be what everyone remembers about you.

(4,341 posts)She will get a gig as a contributor.
But very well said, and let everyone you know read the list, I know I will...
The fact that she claims her boss "making impossible requests" after she was a tool for caging children, and responsible for some of the deaths of some of those children, and the lifelong trauma they will have for the rest of their lives...so that was not "impossible requests"??? What kind of monsters are these people?
