    President Trump has told advisers he has decided to remove Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, and her departure from the administration is likely to occur in the coming weeks, if not sooner, according to five current and former White House officials.

    The president has grumbled for months about what he views as Nielsen’s lackluster performance on immigration enforcement and is believed to be looking for a replacement who will implement his policy ideas with more alacrity.

    Nielsen has been reluctant to leave the administration before reaching the one-year mark as secretary on Dec. 6, but she has been unhappy in the job for several months, according to colleagues.

    Don't freak out about WaPo, folks... this is reported just about everywhere...

    Alacrity?? I'm positive Trump has no idea what that means....

    What do you say, folks? Can Nielsen make it a whole YEAR in the Trump administration?? Aging herself by 8 years in the process....

    Round and round we go... where we stop? 2020....

    If this is true, at first libs will laugh and bust Trump gonads, that is until they realize she's being replaced with with someone who will do more to kick out illegals and keep them out. Then the last laugh will be by us.

    I doubt that. Perhaps Trump is looking for a stooge who will do whatever he commands, legal, appropriate or not.

    But that isn't likely to work well. This is a post that requires confirmation, as the AG post does.

    Sorry, but the clown prince will not install his lackeys into cabinet posts as "acting" in an attempt to get around Congressional oversight.

    I realize you Trumpsters are all exercised about Presidential power when it's a Democrat in the White House, but strangely silent over Trump's brazen attempts to subvert the process.

    If Trump doesn't think she's getting the job done then it seems perfectly reasonable to replace her.

    Well, that logic should completely clear out the entire WH...

    Rumor has it he's dissatisfied with Matt Whitaker, as Robert Mueller is not rotting in a shallow grave this morning...

    Human rights abuses by authoritarian regimes are always a rip-roaring good time. I'm so glad Trump is bringing third world government home to us at last.

    What, like Trump's talk of terrorists in the caravan and election fraud in Arizona and Florida?

    You mean you know for a fact a couple of the thousands unknown and unverified illegals heading to the US aren't terrorists or their supporters? Floridas recount looks shady as hell and should be investigated. Arizona I haven't heard anything so maybe thats hyperbole. Still not as hyperbole as calling trump an authoritarian regime and human rights violations.

    The only truly shady thing that's been verified in Florida is letting people vote by freaking EMAIL... that's a huge no-no, backwoods Bay County...

    When is the Pentagon going to get it on the right page and start calling it an invasion? Oh, that's right, they aren't kowtowing to the President's politicization of deploying troops in the country to benefit in the midterms. They shot down the majority of Trump's ideas and even changed the highly political name of the operation, and were given guidance to be especially wary of Right Wing extremist militias. What a sick joke Trump supporters have become.

    Joe Arpaio aka "America's Toughest Sheriff" who was targeted by the Obama administration for Sheriff Joe upholding the oath of Sheriff he took has been spending a lot of time on Zillow lately.

    Since we are on the border issue, here's a sad article from something called jezebel.com (I have no idea)

    SNIP
    Understandably, morale is an issue for soldiers who are bored, broke, and increasingly depressed at the prospect of spending the holiday on a mission that seems pointless:

    Not pointless, it was done for political gain in the midterm.

    Conservatives beat liberals in elections by drumming up racial hatred and you think that is worth celebrating? Sad.
