Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan was heckled off the stage on Monday at a conference on immigration.
Just a little taste of the inevitable reckoning, you Little Eichmann turd.
The Resistance is gaining steam
Karma is flexing her muscles.
Pretty soon itāll be showtime!
Excellent. Keep fighting the good fight.
Maybe they can throw tortillas at him at the next speaking engagement.
The only way this criminal enterprise we call our Administration ends is with more people standing up like this and saying āNO!ā. It only ends with the average person deciding not to allow normalization of hate & crime & lies.
Matthew 2: 13 Now after they had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, āGet up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.ā 14 Then Joseph[a] got up, took the child and his mother by night, and went to Egypt, 15 and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, āOut of Egypt I have called my son.ā
Snowflakeā¦snowflake melting in the sunshine. After all, itās the best disinfectant.
Iāve dedicated my career to protecting the rights of free speech and all of the values we hold dear here in America from all threats,ā
We need protection from the threats posed by Trump and people like you who support him.
Go away! Far, far away.
Oy.
āSo weāll go ahead and try one more time, but otherwise Iām going to go back to work and keep trying to secure this country,ā the DHS leader continued, ignoring the comment.
They shouldāve let him speak - sending him back to work to try to secure this country is what got him into this mess in the first place.
Fuck your bogus free speech argument - You are the government dumbass.
āAs a career law enforcement professional, Iāve

Fixed.
āAs a career law enforcement professional, Iāve dedicated my career to protecting the rights of free speech and all of the values we hold dear here in America from all threats,ā McAleenan said after being interrupted for the third time.
Translation: āIntolerance of fascism and fascists is un-American.ā
To reiterate something that canāt be said often enough: Fuck Comey.
Good. Fuck this guy. Fuck 'em all.
NO MERCY. NO QUARTER.
The plutocratic kleptocracy needs to understand we are coming for them and that negotiated surrender is not on their list of options.

āBullshit,ā a heckler jeered.
and āfor the winā
On the one hand: I like that they did this.
On the other: There are questions I would like to see asked of these people every time they show up in a public forum. For example,
1) As a person whose job is to collect and detain people in camps, does it bother you that the person setting the policies under which you work has repeatedly voiced support for individual neo-Nazis, as well as nationalist parties and authoritarian dictators the world over?
2) As you oversee detention camps, does it bother you that American citizens once held in the now much-regretted Japanese-American internment camps have spoken out about how much worse conditions and policies (ie childhood separation) are than any they were subjected to at the time?
3) Will you publicly state that you will refuse to follow any policies or orders that you consider to be morally abhorrent or illegal?
Just for starters.
Imagine how much worse these folks would look if they tried to punt on these answers. Imagine how much more on the hook theyād be if they admitted on the record that nothing so far was immoral or illegal in their estimation ā or, that they are just following orders.
Waste of time, because he will never provide the answers weāre looking for.
Blah, blah, blah is all weāll get.
I donāt have a teevee, so itās all good.
If you want to make McAleenan look like a victim, and spare him the much more challenging task of defending the administrationās policies, this is the way to go. But it seems like short-term gratification at the cost of any strategic ideas as to how to best oppose these policies.
