The Tuesday Politics Thread Totally Resigned Because It Wanted To

DHS Secretary Kirstjen “Superfluous J” Nielsen was fired I mean resigned. (I wish I could do strikethroughs in headers, get it together Disqus.) In her place is some guy whose name I haven’t bothered to learn yet but he sounds awful. Par for the course, I guess. Either way when it comes to Nielsen, according to this NY Times story, she considered resigning months ago after Trump chewed her out in a meeting, but changed her mind and began parroting his talking points even harder, all of which made me think of this proving-to-be-evergreen tweet from Sarah Kendzior:

As always, be excellent to each other, only flag those posts what break the rules, Mayor McSquirrel rule is in effect (which means no threats against anyone), and if it gets hairy out there, grab ahold of a mod at avocadomods@gmail.com.
