"SNIP......

New York Times: “Access to a government jet 24 hours a day. An office in the West Wing, plus guaranteed weekends off for family time. And an assurance of being made secretary of homeland security by November.”

“Those were among a list of 10 conditions that Kris Kobach, the former Kansas secretary of state, has given to the White House if he is to become the administration’s ‘immigration czar,’ a job President Trump has been looking to create to coordinate immigration policy across government agencies.”

“Other conditions included having a staff of seven reporting to him, walk in privileges to the Oval Office, a security detail if deemed necessary and the title of assistant to the president.”

"Former Lout" is what his official resume reads.

Professional summary: Fucked up stupid investigation into 'illegal voting'. Couldn't find a damned thing. Went back and ran for Governor of Kansass from a fucking jeep with a fucking .50 cal mounted in the back. Failed miserably. Cried for a few months.

7. Does he also want a $139,000 door, a $43,000 phone booth and a $32,000 table?

Like Zinke and Carson?

As we’ve learned all too well, Trumpists, those noble watchdogs of immigrant-family-busting, fetus-worship and female subjugation deserve only the best that laundered money can buy.

9. KS's "mini-Trump" brings his intense corruption and power

seeking to the Republicans' Swamp Central. He's not just a RW extremist and wannabe fascist overlord but profoundly incompetent. All he could do with the giant immigration mess they've created would be to accelerate the injustices, misery and deaths. That may be his attraction for Trump, as long as he also managed to accelerate the roundups and deportations.

Five dead children in the past 6 months. A couple dozen adults -- official count -- in the past 2 years; half were under 45, some longtime U.S. residents who were taken from their homes.

Plans were supposedly scrapped after word got out for construction of "austere" detention facilities on a naval base. I read those alone could have ultimately held up to 200,000. Trump still intends to get rid of nearly 10 million and has no intention of leaving them in their homes while they fight it. That means a whole lot of places to incarcerate them need to be built, and I'm wondering what word has not gotten out about yet. And what ambitious ideas these evil men have been discussing.
