There is so much small dick energy coming this sociopath
Santa Monica Zionist wants to Gaza Your America
Hey cops! You gonna take that from The Feds? You want everybody to think you're pussies? Just Fed lapdogs?
Yes, yes they are. There's a pecking order.
Caillou is the poster boy for this whole admin
I guess this is the conservatives "backing the blue"?
Like the rest of their identity, only when it's convenient.
Take a peek at the footage from January 6th to see how much they back the blue.
They hit plenty of cops in the backs of their heads.
Lol he thinks cops are just going to willingly lose what power tripping feelings they have now? The cop vs ice civil war will be entertaining.
You are delusional. Cops are pussy bullies that will fold instantly to bigger bullies (ICE)
The only time cops act brave is when they are spraying bullets into unarmed protestors
Anyone thinking cops will stand on the right side of history THIS time is deluding themselves.
Civil right, women's suffrage... Cops have always been on the side of the boot and oppressors
I don't think it's delusional to think cops, who are so used to holding all the power, are going to give it up readily.
ACAB
But also....police have qualified immunity. If the police get charged and convicted, it would be the one positive thing that this administration will have done.
Miller seemed to be trying to lay the groundwork for President Donald Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807, which allows the president to deploy the military to suppress an uprising against the federal government.
It's just the daily beast, but at least someone said it.
The Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution protects the right to keep and bear arms. It was ratified on December 15, 1791
Insurrection Act of 1807
Just 16 years from "we must be allowed arms to protect from tyrannical government" to "if the people take up arms against tyrannical government we can massacre them".
Really makes you wonder why the NRA and the millions of gun nuts haven't campaigned to overturn that act. It's almost as if they've never had any intention of using their arms to protect against tyranny...
Look up NRA Russian funding, it was happenong for tears. Marina Butina wormed her way into the upper eschelons of the NRA to promote Russian goals, and she's just one of the more visible examples that was caught.
Look at that sentient anal-polyp... it's so disgusting and utterly fascinating at the same time. Holy shit.
I’ve seen that porn. It’s really hot. Federal agents and local cops going to town on each other? Oh yeah…
But the White House chief of staff should have more important things on his mind!
If he was Wormtongue to a state governor, he'd be advocating feds to surrender to state police. He will abuse whatever power he has to his benefit.
He has never had power of his own because he's too much of an outlandish cartoon character. He just wormtongues his way from office to office. A lot of people think it's an act, and to some degree it is, but it also isn't. This is the weird, foggy area that guys like this exist in, where there doesn't seem to be a boundary between feverish fantasy and reality. Everything is a comic book or stage-play to them.
I used to talk to incels and the like, I had success in the late aughts turning self-identified incels just by one-on-one time and chat and listening. It was exhausting and I felt like for every young dude I helped, 30 more incels would suddenly appear and start shitting on our online spaces and forums. It was like patching a dam that was bursting. More often than not they sounded JUST like Miller.
Over-the-top performance and grandiose statements, delivered stilted and awkwardly, unreal levels of boast and self-aggrandizing. If you listen to infamous incels like Elliot Rogers, you will notice they talk JUST like Stephen Miller.
All those dumb kids grew up, and were only reinforced by the grift-o-sphere, and they all moved on and got jobs and positions of power, but they never changed. Miller is one of them. He just learned where he can make the most impact, and it turns out wormtonguing the goddamn president himself was a very lucrative position.
My only consolation is that as soon as Trump keels over, any fukkin day, Miller will have ZERO power. It will be glorious.
Fuck this spiritual reincarnation of the self-loathing and morally vacant Roy Cohn.
Roy Cohn. Now that's an important name.
Roy Cohn was counsel for earlier years of Trump's "empire." Roy Cohn was the Chief Counsel of Joseph McCarthy. Roy Cohn was introduced to McCarthy by J. Edgar Hoover. Roy Cohn was chosen by Joseph McCarthy over Robert F. Kennedy. Yes, the father of RFK Jr. It's a big club and we ain't in it.
Roy Cohn died of AIDS but refused to acknowledge it. Said it was liver cancer.
Roy Cohn was part of the chain of evil to bring us exactly where we are today.
Roy Cohn taught Donald to attack and deflect. Taught him to lie and aggrandize everything. Also a self-loathing gay man who hated "fags", yet caught AIDS and died of it.
Oh, the irony is delicious.
I honestly see shades of Roy Cohn in Steven Miller. The self-loathing, the insecurity and the rage. In Trump's first run as President, he was often reported as asking "Where's my Roy Cohn?" when things didn't get done the way he wanted.. Now, he doesnt say that anymore, aparently, since he found his replacement in Miller.
It is breathtaking to watch this all unfold and connect the dots as it does.
It really is. All of it. All of it can connect back to the 1800s. It can probably be traced further, but I stopped at Comstock.
