Dear (former) Secretary Nielsen:

I apologize for the timing of this. You have just only "resigned" a few hours ago and, while I would normally think it better to give you a day or two to adjust to your new status, others are already on TV speculating about "where you will go and how you will spend the rest of your professional life." These people are either foolish or cruel: your "professional life" ended this afternoon. Realists began composing an epitaph for your career on the day you agreed to assist Trump in ripping babies from their mothers' arms and warehousing poor brown people in outdoor cages under highway overpasses.

Yes, I'm sure their will be offers of paid speaking engagements before extremist right-wing anti-immigrant racist groups like the various militias, Klan wannabes and CPAC. And, some wacko publishing house front group will likely offer you a "book deal". But, please don't be misled about having a "professional life" that does not include many repetitions of "Would you like fries with that?"

Just thought you should know.

Atticus

Her "professional" life, and her actual life ended the day she took the job in the White House.

Come on Karma! Git her!

The more they are blamed the more they feel vindicated. They are the true protectors of the true religion. WASPM superiority (includes the de-facto male portion.)
