Just how deranged of an anti-immigrant extremist do you have to be for someone like Kirstjen Nielsen, who has been kidnapping immigrant children and locking them in cages, to decide that youre too much of an extremist? ..........................
Kirstjen Nielsen felt that Donald Trump has become increasingly unhinged about immigration, according to a CNN report.................................
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi quickly released a statement after news surfaced about the details of Nielsens exit. Pelosi said precisely what most Americans are thinking right now: It is deeply alarming that the Trump Administration official who put children in cages is reportedly resigning because she is not extreme enough for the White Houses liking. The Presidents dangerous and cruel anti-immigrant policies have only worsened the humanitarian suffering at the border and inflicted vast suffering on the families who have been torn apart.
Nancy Pelosi continued: The Trump Administrations increasingly toxic anti-immigrant policies were resoundingly rejected by the American people in the midterm election. America needs a Homeland Security Secretary who will respect the sanctity of families, honor our proud heritage as a nation of immigrants, and restore sanity to this Administrations policies.

(8,200 posts)Trump is culling herd and replacing those who show any restraint with blood thirsty thugs who aren't in least squeamish. While Hitler took out his evilness on the Jews and sent them to concentration camps for eventual extermination, Trump and his gang of fascists are taking out their lust for cruelty on desperate Hispanic men, women and even children.
There is a deeply sadistic urge in far too many to today's Republicans and their cruel Fuhrer that yearns for blood to satisfy their own abject failure. Just like the Nazis, they have demonized these unfortunate desperate people robbing them of any humanity to justify their atrocious behavior in which they have shed any compassion for those they consider as vermin. Just as years of degradation of Jews allowed for their deposal, over forty years of propaganda over 1,300 broadcast stations has yielded the same results in regard to Hispanics who they are convinced are robbing good Americans of a livelihood. Just like the faithfully Christian Germans who turned a blind eye to the atrocities, they are also unable to comprehend their hypocrisy. Singing with gusto "Amazing Grace" they fail to grasp that rather than being saved by God's grace they are sowing the seeds of their own condemnation. Rather than grasping the basic concept that we must struggle daily against our own greed and prejudices they have been convinced to embrace them as a virtue.

We can still stop it though.

I'm sad to avoid those people in my life, some are family, but the depravity of what the republican party supports, well, it's gonna leave a mark, people. I will never forget those who supported this.

(565 posts)From Wiki... Trumps Grandfather: Trump worked seven days a week for two and a half years under barber Friedrich Lang. After completing his apprenticeship, he returned to Kallstadt, a village with about 1,000 inhabitants. He quickly discovered there was not enough business to earn a living. He was also approaching the age of eligibility for conscription to military service in the Imperial German Army. He quickly decided to emigrate to the United States, later saying, "I agreed with my mother that I should go to America."[3]:30 Years later, his family members said that he departed secretly at night, leaving his mother a note.

I personally think she is in to deep to save herself from guilt when the hammer falls.

How American race law provided a blueprint for Nazi Germany
"As Whitman shows, the Nuremberg Laws were crafted in an atmosphere of considerable attention to the precedents American race laws had to offer. German praise for American practices, already found in Hitler's Mein Kampf, was continuous throughout the early 1930s, and the most radical Nazi lawyers were eager advocates of the use of American models. But while Jim Crow segregation was one aspect of American law that appealed to Nazi radicals, it was not the most consequential one. Rather, both American citizenship and antimiscegenation laws proved directly relevant to the two principal Nuremberg Lawsthe Citizenship Law and the Blood Law. Whitman looks at the ultimate, ugly irony that when Nazis rejected American practices, it was sometimes not because they found them too enlightened, but too harsh.
Indelibly linking American race laws to the shaping of Nazi policies in Germany, Hitler's American Model upends understandings of America's influence on racist practices in the wider world."
Not too enlightened, but too harsh - donald trump by definition.
