Last week, Donald Trump announced the nomination of Kirstjen Nielsen, currently deputy to White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, to be the next Secretary of Homeland Security. Nielsen was also deputy to Kelly when he was chief of DHS, leading us to wonder if Nielsen would be a rubber stamp for Trump’s deportation the way Kelly was. But not much is known about Nielsen herself, besides her resume and roles within previous Administrations.

Rachel Maddow last night shed some light on one of those previous roles, namely Nielsen’s time in the Bush Administration as Special Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Senior Director for Prevention, Preparedness, and Response. The problem? She was in that role during Hurricane Katrina, and the results were ugly. Maddow’s story is brutal. Watch it below:

1. Kelly's Nazi protege has a long history

2. And yet again Trump picks a total failure for an important government position

Another piece of crap floating on top the toilet bowl as it swirls it's way into the septic system of history.

4. She is not a failure. She is a pro at what she does.

That is why she got chosen. She is a corrupt, racist, GOP liar who has no love for her country or honors her position. Perfect choice if you ask me!

3. 'The information was relayed up the chain but then disappeared. DHS was, for some reason, unable

to process the critical information, the Administration was not properly notified, and the federal government took no action. A report from the Republican-led House of Representatives later made clear that “any delay in the confirmation of levee breaches would delay evacuation” — yet DHS failed to handle this confirmation. Thousands of people died as a result.

And again, who was in charge of prevention, preparedness, and response at DHS? Kirstjen Nielsen. A Washington Post story specifically said that “Nielsen’s team was widely criticized for its passive and clumsy response” to Katrina.'

5. AGain, trump supporters love that rump purposely appoints people who will ultimately harm them

i guess they also cut themselves when nobody is looking?

I am so fucking sick of this shit, I want to DO something
