As we discussed yesterday, Donald Trump forced Kirstjen Nielsen to resign. She was fired and not even given the opportunity to make it look like she was leaving of her own accord. No one is crying for her lying, racist, Nazi ass, although as I said yesterday, she was basically fired because Trump wants someone even more racist and awful as Homeland Security Secretary. He wants to reinstate forced family separations and bring in more cages for babies and children. He wants to treat all (brown) immigrants as animals. He’s spent years dehumanizing immigrants, with his Nazi advisor Stephen Miller’s help. Now Miller has orchestrated this whole DHS shake-up. Here are some words that should make us all scared: Trump, Miller, PURGE, decapitation.

President Donald Trump is cleaning house in the Department of Homeland Security. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Secret Service Director Randolph “Tex” Alles have been ousted, and at least two officials have been named as possibly heading out the door: US Citizenship and Immigration Services director Francis Cissna and Office of the General Counsel’s John Mitnick.

“There is a near-systematic purge happening at the nation’s second-largest national security agency,” an official told CNN.

At least some of the sudden personnel changes come at the urging of White House senior adviser Stephen Miller, who played a key role in Nielsen’s ouster. The President in recent weeks empowered Miller to lead the administration’s border policies “and he’s executing his plan” with what amounts to a wholesale decapitation of the department’s leadership, an official said.

The President has also pushed in recent weeks to reinstate the family separation policy, which Nielsen resisted, a source familiar with the discussions says. Trump rescinded that policy amid public outrage and scrutiny from the courts last summer. Miller’s heightened influence within the West Wing has been aided by the President, who recently told aides in an Oval Office meeting that Miller was in charge of all immigration and border-related issues in the White House, according to a person familiar with the meeting.

These kinds of sudden “purges” are seen in third-world dictatorships and monarchies in the Middle Ages. It’s one thing to fire one or two people for failing to follow a legitimate presidential order. It’s quite another to allow a Nazi lizard like Stephen Miller to orchestrate a “purge” of otherwise qualified people just because they wouldn’t break the law by following one of Trump’s illegal orders.

Republicans in Congress are apparently telling Trump to stop purging people, but at the end of the day, what are they going to do? Grow a set and actually stand up to him? Of course not. So my guess is that the purge will continue until the federal government really is just Ivanka, Jared, Stephen Miller and a copy of Hitler’s diaries.
