Kirstjen Nielsen

She graduated from Georgetown and the University of Virginia Law School. Her name and appearance suggests Scandinavian ancestry. And yet she responded to a question from Patrick Leahy that she "did not know" that almost all the people living in Norway are white.

How much is a job worth to these people? What makes them so willing to give up their dignity?

The Norwegian resistance prevented the Nazis from developing nuclear weapons by sabotaging the heavy water (deuterium oxide) plant that they were using to separate uranium 235. The Norwegians are not generally fond of Nazis despite a handful of nutballs like Anders Breivik.

Nielsen Name Meaning
Danish, Norwegian, and North German (especially Schleswig-Holstein): patronymic from the personal name Niels, a reduced form of Nikolaus (see Nicholas).

yet she responded to a question from Patrick Leahy that she "did not know" that almost all the people living in Norway are white.

Leahy merely asked if Norway was "predominantly" white, not "almost entirely." She was either lying or ignorant, both of which should be disqualifying for the post she holds.

No one really knows how much he has accumulated but it's estimated @ $200 billion.

Add onto that all the corrupt oligarchs disposable wealth under him and it makes for a nice little pot.

I would not be totally surprised if most every top R had been promised a tidy little sum. Trump was only the first. All that's required is to play out their roles as actual patriotic Americans.
