Did I hear that the Con is preparing to fire Kirstjen Nielsen ?

[malaise]

Ah well.

[OnDoutside]

1. Squirrel !!! Methinks it odd to bring it up right now, when he could have sacked her a year ago ?

[malaise]

10. Holy Shit!

just heard that he's thinking of replacing her with that lunatic Chris Kobach?

[OnDoutside]

11. Do you remember last week a journalist asked Trump, was he going to bring Kobach into his cabinet,

once it emerged he lost the Kansas race ? Someone had inkling of what was going to happen. I think it would be the height of stupidity to do it, as House Dems already have a Kobach investigation already on the to do list. It wouldn't be the first time he shoots himself in the bone spurs !

12. This requires senate confirmation, general feeling is he would never get it.

[malaise]

15. Agree

[TreasonousBastard]

2. Oh yeah. Today, anyway-- who knows what he'll do tomorrow. And since...

she has Kelley as her godfather, who knows what the next step is...

3. That's the rumor that's being reported in WaPo:

Trump is preparing to remove Kirstjen Nielsen as Homeland Security secretary, aides say

4. Thanks

[Rhiannon12866]

5. The thing is, whenever he replaces someone objectionable

He manages to find someone even worse.

[malaise]

6. He could do the planet a favor and pout his way out of office

[Rhiannon12866]

7. It's long past time!

Is there anyone across the globe he hasn't managed to offend yet? And now he wants to venture into space and who knows how the aliens across the galaxy will react? They may not be so polite as us earthlings...

[malaise]

8. Too cute

Ha : chuckle:

[empedocles]

13. .

[get the red out]

9. Why?

She is obviously a terrible person, seems Trump would be pleased with her?

[3_Limes]

14. I'm surprized by this. What part of her performance does he object to?

She seems depraved and craven enough to fit right in w/ Donnie's crew.

Anybody know what the (perceived) problem is?

[gratuitous]

16. No problem

Sure, there are a bunch of vacant ambassadorships, but now just seems like the right time for a Senate fight over a new Secretary of State. And Attorney General. And . . . well, what's Ben Carson been doing lately?
