Funny how the Unsource hearsay is never positive. Just another attack angle on the President.

And they wonder why 1/2 the country considers them fake news. The other 1/2 is asleep at the wheel.

I used to think that “IBTZ” was the sound of someone getting zotted. Like those electric bug zappers.

Well, it looks like raiderboy did indeed fly too close to the bug zapper. After seeing what he'd been posting on the Israel-Iran threads since yesterday, I'm not surprised that he'd depart suddenly - leaving only a cloud of ozone to mark his exit.

“Why is the NYT even allowed on freerepublic? We KNOW it’s fake news! http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/05/10/dhs-denies-report-secretary-nielsen-considered-resigning-after-trump-criticism.html";

We enjoy humor and pointing out blatant lies.

Agreed - and it’s been a while since the 1.21 Gigawatts were tossed around here. I forget... wasn’t it protocol to add “ZOT” to the thread title? Maybe that was just the practice of certain moderators.

Who cares? Maybe it’s true. She gets the job done or she gets fired.

Re: “The question is, who recommended her? That person is the one who must be dealt with.”

I bring bad news, Governor.

John Kelly, Trump's Chief of Staff, recommended her. Kirstjen Nielsen was Kelly's number two at Homeland Security.

Both Kelly and Nielsen publicly supported DACA Amnesty BEFORE Trump appointed them.

Then, Trump promoted both of them - Kelly to Chief of Staff, and Nielsen to Secretary of Homeland Security.

In a statement, Ms. Nielsen said she intended to “continue to direct the department to do all we can to implement the president’s security-focused agenda.” She said Mr. Trump was “rightly frustrated that existing loopholes and the lack of congressional action have prevented this administration from fully securing the border.”

Tyler Q. Houlton, a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security, disputed that Ms. Nielsen had drafted a resignation letter and was close to resigning, calling those assertions “false.”

...

IOW, the headline is crap.

It means "In Before The Zot" and it appears I was indeed in before the zot.

I knew it was coming though. I've only been here a little over a decade, but this raiderboy troll was perhaps the worst POS I can recall. Pure anti-Israel Dem troll trying to divide the base here.

He's been zotted before. Really hope the zot is permanent this time.
