i couldn't watch the Nielsen hearing.

[barbtries]

i tried. what they are doing makes me want to scream, throw myself on the floor, and weep. #CrimesAgainstHumanity

Nielsen herself looks to me as if she has a permanent obnoxious scowl on her overdone face and simply sickens me. She is disrespectful and as honest as trump himself, not even a little tiny bit.

[thegoose]

1. And why bother?

Dump's cabinet members only know how to sneer, lie and act like they're being attacked. Disgusting.

[barbtries]

2. right?

perhaps lying to Congress is a charge that would stick for that horror of a human.

[dlk]

3. Nielsen is Likely a Psychopath-She Couldn't Care Less About the Lives She Destroys

[barbtries]

10. i'm sure that's true.

pretty much all of trumpworld, indeed most republicans, are sociopaths and don't care, they do not care. My own sister doesn't care. She's been eaten by Fox News, she has her bogeyman and it's "migrants" (black and brown ones), and she does not care. this reality has tainted our relationship perhaps irrevocably.

Back in the gw days, John Dean wrote a book Conservatives Without Conscience. I think it should be brought back in print. They're all bad people.

4. I look at her and I'm reminded of the psych experiment where college students

were persuaded to deliver electrical shocks to their colleagues (unknown to be fake), with increasing strength until fatal doses were ultimately delivered (Milgram Experiment). The willingness to respond to the authority figure seemingly unquestionably to hurt another (in opposition to any conscience) was the outcome measured. While in the original experiments, men were far more likely to comply to deliver the shocks, I could see Nielsen being the female exception. In fact, I'd guess she'd even volunteer.

She's an abysmal excuse for a human being. Thank heavens she has no children (and hopefully no pets nor elderly in her care or vicinity).

May her karma haunt her long after she is drummed out of her position.

[barbtries]

11. i honestly believe that her consequences

should not be limited to karma. Justice is called for. The SPLC is suing her now.

I'm going to donate to them now. feeling so helpless.

[walkingman]

5. Birds of a feather.....GOP has got to be the most obnoxious bunch of people I have ever seen.

[FiveGoodMen]

6. She is (one example of) what Satan really looks like.

[MontanaMama]

7. I tried to watch the hearing too

and didn’t make it very far. Nielsen is an awful person who is awful at her job. She is a liar and treats anyone who questions her with snarling disrespect. I don’t know is she is a mother herself but if she is, I pity her kids. She has no soul...just a gaping black hole where it should be.

[barbtries]

14. yeah.

i just saw a worthy clip from the hearing on fb. Rep Nanette Barragan's questioning was stellar and Nielsen looked as bad as she is.

recommended. i've watched it a couple times already.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

18. let the wrath consume the Nazi!

Rep. Nanette Barragan was having none of the Nazi's excuses!

"Outrageous" indeed.

[panader0]

24. Kudos to Rep Barragan. That's the way to do it.

[MontanaMama]

30. Oh yes.

The Dems were stellar in their questioning of Nazi Nielsen.

[PatSeg]

22. I only saw a couple of clips

where she was asked about children in cages. When she kept protesting that they were NOT cages, I wanted them to ask her if she would be comfortable with her children in one of those "not cages".

She has really aged since she took this job and I am amazed that she hasn't quit. If she had resigned, people might have been more sympathetic, but now this will be her legacy until the day she dies. If she was hoping for the privilege and status that comes with such a position, she was really shortsighted.

But maybe she doesn't have children and doesn't give a damn.

[barbtries]

32. i think

she doesn't have children and I know she doesn't give a damn.

[PatSeg]

34. Yeah

It does appear that she has no children. I hope she saved her money, because I'm not sure she'll ever be hired again for anything. Just her Wikipedia page alone is disturbing.

[spanone]

8. She disgusts me.

She separated children from their parents. Time and time and time again.
No excusing that.

[Miigwech]

9. She has been well schooled in lying, but ...

[barbtries]

13. i didn't click on the link yet,

but immediately thought of Whitaker during that press conference and the sweat visibly beading on his bald head when he lied about Mueller.

well crap, i couldn't get past the ad blocker.

[malaise]

12. She should be put in a cage for life in the Hague

They are fucking monsters

[barbtries]

15. the SPLC is suing her.

I asked them if they could partner with the Hague.

[malaise]

16. It's unbearable

I can't harm a stray cat let alone a child.

[barbtries]

17. it's a big difference

between liberals and republicans. they're not conservatives anymore. this is trump's republican party 100% - they've all surrendered their humanity to this destructive cult, and will watch democracy go down the drain with it if they can.

[malaise]

19. They were never conservatives

It was all a big Con - they want a return to the pre-cold war racism

[barbtries]

20. my brother in law

(foxbot along with my sister sad to say) literally told me things were better in 1944.
sigh.

[malaise]

23. Holy Shit!

He said what?

[barbtries]

25. yep. those were the good old days.

he and my sister are racist foxbots and i'm sure his version of 1944 was that the world was white and he would like to see it stay that way.

[samnsara]

21. same here

[Ferrets are Cool]

26. +1

[stonecutter357]

27. Nielsen is a good german !

[KelleyKramer]

28. Of all the Trumpers, she reminds me most of a real Nazi

She has no conscious and no soul

She would have fit in perfect in 1930s Germany

[barbtries]

31. yeah, her and miller

he's a real bad guy too. they're probably hatching these horrific plans together.

[KelleyKramer]

33. Good point about Miller, he would be a close second for Nazi of the year

You can see it in Millers eyes, he has no soul either.. behind those eyes is just a bottomless black hole

[uponit7771]

29. John Kelly tried to blame Sessions for Putin's Whores kidnapping policy. They ... KNOW ... this

... is a human rights violation and don't give a shit.
