On Their Way Out the Door, Kirstjen Nielsen and Other Officials at DHS Sabotaged Trump's Plan to Depart Thousands of Illegal Aliens

Well, the cucks have to make things right with their would-be corporate cuck employers.

The Trump administration had planned to arrest thousands of parents and children in 10 major U.S. cities to deter further migrants, the Post reported, citing seven current and former DHS officials. The plan involved fast-tracking immigration court cases and expanding the government's authority to deport migrants who did not show for their hearings. Arrests of the no-shows would involve coordinated raids of the homes and neighborhoods of parents with children, according to the Post.
Nielsen and then-acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Ronald Vitiello put a stop to the plan, citing lack of preparation by ICE personnel and public relations concerns, according to the Post.

It certainly seems like Nielsen and Vitiello are themselves leaking to the leftwing Washington Post about their Heroic Insubordination and Defiance of a Lawful Order by the President.

Well, I guess they wanted to be able to eat at restaurants again without being harassed by antifa.

Sedition ... is that better? no, but we are surrendering the country via open borders ... which follows a plan to undermine what voters elected Trump to accomplish ...

75% or so want borders closed to drugs, illegals, human trafficking and all criminal elements. The Kerry/Obama/etc. coalition of resistors are intent on Globalism ... BigMoney oligarchs funding some new world order nirvana dream. This is not a different opinion ... it is .. Treason. People in government pushing "sedition" sure ... but intent on our Republic being overthrown ... imo, it is indeed Treason. Siding with the enemy, undermining from within.

If he were running his own business, one he understands and has understood for decades, and he knew the players, then yes, I'm sure he'd be fine.

Parachuting in to a brand new situation, with brand new people, he has to get the temper of the place. I would imagine that all of DC is pretty good at dissimulation, or they wouldn't be there, so you can only figure out who's worth a damn and who isn't after assessing their performance for a while.

The so-called pink tax is, the extra cost or subtraction of wealth, I dunno, that women endure because they're not men.

In other words, being a woman is like having an extra tax on you.

For example, your period? A tax.
You don't earn much at your job? That's a tax that Patriarchy put on your ass!
You're the one in the marriage who has to give birth? TAX!

And the long list of taxes goes on.

Sure, you can get laid any time you want, but you aren't strong enough to fight off 50% of the population and they're more aggressive than you are. Yes, the culture is heavily weighted toward you, but you're expected to have a certain sort of grooming and appearance that costs more than men have to pay.

I think it all evens out.

It the idea that "girly" things cost more than guy things. Like women's shampoo and deodorant. The youtuber Shoe0nHead did a video proving the idiocy of it. The women's items that costed more had a lot more ingredients, so you know all the special moisturizers and stuff women want, while the guy's items were much more basic.

The video she used to mock even disproved themselves by showing a men's item that was more expensive than the women's.

178 They do. I only basic personal maintenance stuff, the Mrs requires much more. Her soap probably cost 4X mine.

Plus, all Seinfeld joking aside, women buy lingerie, guys buy underwear. We shave a bit of our face (and if you're an axe-spraying zima-swilling man child you shave the rest of your body), they shave everything but their head.

For many things yes. But the "Pink Tax" idea is that they cost more because they are "girly," ie because they're pink. It's not because the item in question has 20 ingredients and is thus a more complex and cost intensive product, while the men's item has 8 ingredients.

191 Blago: "I'll never understand the people Trump kept on (like Comey) and why he thought he could 'tame' these swamp creatures..."

I thought this at first but then tempered dramatically. I thought I knew the swamp was fetid. I never really, really comprehended just how bad it is. Nobody could have. And you need bureaucrats to push papers. It's the world's most complex business and personnel matrix. No one can possibly have the army of personnel needed, much less desired, for the transition of the US swamp.

So, yeah, I'd have preferred he made multi-level decapitations across the board, but it's just not doable under current conditions.

But once Trump does get his full team in place, then I hope he eliminates the majority of federal positions to make it more efficient. Simplify. Castrate. Liberate. Put that on a banner and run with it.

But they did show a photo of him in his uniform. I couldn't believe it. When I played at his age, USA Rugby required HS players to wear the US/UK bumblebee pattern shirts with crowd-pleaser canvas shorts because young rugby players are usually poor (though American ones wore Nike cleats, so luxury).

Now they have these European uniforms. It's disgusting. They're only children. It's not quite encouraging them to go trans, but it's close.

Now like everyone else here I was aware that there was a crisis. But i did not realize the scope of it. There are hundreds of homeless camps in Seattle alone. Parts of San Francisco. Los Angeles, San Diego and Stockton look exactly like refugee encampments in Africa. Tens of thousands of homeless people--mostly illegal aliens, but also casualties of the opioid epidemic and others--are living in makeshift shelters in public parks, near city halls and along miles of highway. The situation is out of control, and the leftist politicians running these cities are doing little or nothing about it.

266 "Now like everyone else here I was aware that there was a crisis. But i did not realize the scope of it. There are hundreds of homeless camps in Seattle alone. Parts of San Francisco. Los Angeles, San Diego and Stockton look exactly like refugee encampments in Africa. Tens of thousands of homeless people--mostly illegal aliens, but also casualties of the opioid epidemic and others--are living in makeshift shelters in public parks, near city halls and along miles of highway. The situation is out of control, and the leftist politicians running these cities are doing little or nothing about it.

Well, actually paper has a value approaching zero if one wants to be literal, and being some international scam's major market for the product of slave labor factories makes that scamming nation very vulnerable. This is what the "trade war" with China amounts to, the victims of decades of outright theft (us) calling the cops and demanding restitution. Trump has the Chinks up against the wall and if we don't get into WWIII over it, we will win. If we do get into WWIII over it, we will also win. QED.

Brennan was the ring leader of this whole Get Trump op. He was the one that came up with this Russian Collusion bullshit based on some piddling bullcrap that planted the seed -- "Russian collusion. Yeah, that's the ticket. It's so crazy, it just might work."

He was running the whole thing out of CIA HQ, and ironically, colluding with the Five Eyes to gin up the fake evidence to feed to the FBI, which would they use to get the FISA warrants.

Trump scared the shit of out them, the Deep State, and their foreign allies. The talk he was doing amounted to destroying the post-WWII order (where we play the sucker with trade deals and military spending on NATO and shit like that).

He scared the shit out of them.

293 @262 The situation is out of control, and the leftist politicians running these cities are doing little or nothing about it.

-------------------

Not exactly...

They're doing things. But since the best solutions tend to be the ones that they (and their allies) are ideologically opposed to, those particular ideas don't get tried.

Also, part of the problem is that housing is just too expensive. The solution from the local governments has been to try and push low income housing. But the real problem is that there just isn't enough space for the housing (and road space) that's needed. And yet the cities keep trying to encourage more businesses to move to their cities (because more tax revenues). And those businesses need employees. And those employees want places to live that are closer than an hour of travel.

And since the housing that's within an hour of travel time of these new businesses is limited, the housing that *is* close goes up in cost. And that means that people can't afford to get a place to live that's within a reasonable distance from work. And that means that some of them choose to live out of their car instead of living two hours away from their job.

And those are the ones who might actually be productive members of society.

For some of the others, well...

My brother linked an article over at the LA Times today.

Some people quite bluntly just aren't ready to be productive members of society. They might *want* to be. But they're not capable of being such until something about themselves changes.

I would like to have a nice open top roadster and use it for British Style road rallies, poker runs and so on.

That may be partially influenced by strong memory I have of Emma Peel standing up in such a car doing a road rally in the midst of some investigation.

Sigh.

359 I hate automatics - love driving my old Infiniti with its 6 speed manual. Was given one of the newer turbo 3.0 liters Q series with an 8 speed automatic as a loaner. I hate to admit it but that transmission belongs on that engine. Mid 13's quarter mile, and I got better than 30 miles to the gallon out of it driving it to Dallas from Houston and back at 75 mph. Only time I have ever enjoyed driving a car with an automatic.

364 88 Mustang with manual. Clutch was so heavy. Then, on first drive of Wife's 92 Probe, expecting similar clutch effort, I damn near put the pedal through the firewall. That Probe with turbo would scream, but was good for at least half a lane of torque steer.

371 The problem with turbo cars with manual transmissions is the lag before the turbo cuts in when you punch it - car feels dead then wants to run away from you. An automatic largely covers that up because of the torque converter.

I could still swing that tire hammer. Broke it down on the third blow.

In Linux/Unix world, line breaks in text files are simply a line feed control character, "\n". In DOS/Windows world, a new line is a carriage return line feed combo, "\r\n".

That can make things funny sometimes. Of course, with all the fancier formatting and code pages and Unicode, it may be much more complicated than that.

436 How does the Left get to force a baker to bake a cake, but it's okay for Youtube to delete video creators??

Posted by: Soothsayer -- Fake Commenter at May 15, 2019 08:21 PM (+BZ5R)

Understanding of the inherent hypocrisy of the Left is like a sentence of being beaten to death in a ditch by the Red Guard for being an intellectual poisoning the minds of the youth.

You might get it!

437 SpaceX is planning to launch their first set of Starlink internet
satellites. It is the heaviest payload they've launched to date. There
are 60 satellites stacked in the payload fairing much like Pringles in a
can.

Launch is scheduled for 10:30 pm EDT.

Looks like it's slipped to 11:00 now.

The shifter in the MR2 feels like you're flicking a lightswitch. The transmission is right under your ass, after all. Engine's behind you.

444 Norway is special because you are not likely to be raped there by a Norwegian.

Posted by: Ruthless at May 15, 2019 09:52 PM (md3fh)

It's funny because the Norwegians used to be the biggest rapists around. They raped their way through Europe and then some. With a little killing and baby-skewering thrown in for fun.

447 >>My all-time favorite car was a 1965 Sunbeam Tiger. Four-speed stick, Ford V-8, could shift into fourth at 100 m.p.h. and feel it throw you back in the seat. Wind in the hair I used to have. Great memories.

I can reach over the door and put my palm flat on the pavement in one...love'em. But they are too small for me.

449 417 My dad had a 1972 Datsun 240 Z. I loved riding in it!
Posted by: Nurse ratched at May 15, 2019 09:59 PM (PkVlr)

As a teen, I parked cars in an old parking garage in Tacoma. Many doctors were in the building next door.

One eye doctor (cool guy - always nice to a 16 year old gangly kid) had a silver 240Z, 1971 I believe. Kept it in mint condition.

But one day, he said he was selling it, and I was bummed out.

The next day, he comes in a Triumph Spitfire, British racing green, with tan leather interior. A few hundred miles on it.

I told you this guy was cool!

The car where you realize it's easier to flop out on the ground and then stand up than it is to try and stand up directly out of.

Well, they can blow me with their paddle shifters. It's moronic.

BTW, I think that the way regular drivers use the wheel is, perhaps, a bit different than how F-1 drivers do, too.

But it is nice to have shifters on the wheel where you can easily inadvertently hit them. That's a cool feature, in addition to having them turned around while turning.

Did some drag racing in a SuperStock Dodge with an auto--they shift much quicker than you can manually do.

FTR, I've driven both.

459 Shifting gears a little bit, I had a Norton Commando 500 that, like a car mentioned up above, would pop a wheelie going into 5th at 90-95 mph. If one were into that sort of thing, which I (mostly) wasn't.
