Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Thom Tillis, who called for the resignation or firing of DHS secretary Kristi Noem, says White House adviser ‘should go’

Republican Senator Thom Tillis said on Sunday he believes White House adviser Stephen Miller “should go” and that his role in the Trump administration has been a “big problem”.

The senior senator representing North Carolina, when asked on CNN’s State of the Union if he thinks Miller should go, during a conversation about the administration’s immigration crackdown, responded to host Jake Tapper stating “Oh, of course I do.”

“He is not worried about substance. He’s more worried about form, but I also think that he has an outsized influence over the operations of the cabinet. And I believe we’ve got qualified cabinet members there that sometimes are doing less than what they want to, because of his direction and his outsized influence. He’s a big problem in this administration. He has been from the beginning,” said Tillis.

"Mengele a big problem for Hitler" says Goebbels.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 11 points 13 hours ago

"Republican Senator elected in the Before Times, complains that this administration isn't keeping its evil deeds quiet enough and people like Stephen Miller are embarrassing the members of Senate who want to be re-elected someday so they can keep getting the massive donations, so Thom Tillis wanted to get it on the record that he doesn't approve of Miller as he eyed the midterms warily."

There, fixed the story.

Gee you think having a Nazi in your cabinet is a problem?

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 hours ago

Yeah, I'm not seeing how the presence or absence of one fascist in a fascist admin makes a difference.

Who's the Julia Louis Dreyfuss lookalike?

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

That's Elaine Benes, she needs to go just because of her dancing skills.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Lol, I almost corrected it to Elaine from Seinfeld lookalike. I should have.

Thanks

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 8 points 15 hours ago

Has anyone been arrested and held in custody pending trial? Then their plan is still working to their ends.

[–] theblurstoftimes@leminal.space 22 points 23 hours ago

Start calling him president Miller and maybe it’ll drive trumpy crazy enough to fire him

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 8 points 19 hours ago

He’s a human race problem.

It’s bad that he is in the admin — and should go. If he wasn’t, though, he is still a problem.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 77 points 1 day ago

Yeah, he's a problem for the whole country and the world, as well.

[–] RustyShackleford@piefed.social 43 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He looks like a slightly younger, depressed and bloated, Vladamir Putin.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

He looks like a slightly older, depressed and bloated, Caillou....

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 13 hours ago

This, and I can't believe that I'm saying this, is an insult to Caillou

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is the real ghoul pulling the strings. He's not the Whitehouse's problem, he's their solution. A final solution one might say.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

It's just clown on clown violence. Different factions within TrumpWorld undermining one another.

If you think David Navarro and Scott Bessent aren't getting their own licks in, you haven't been paying attention.

Trump's cabinet is Oops! All Scheming Vizers! Miller is just one of many and they generally all hate each other.

[–] wuffah@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

Just like Hitler’s inner circle.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 16 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

God, I want to punch Stephen Miller in the face so bad.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 10 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
Punching is also acceptable if the prior condition cannot be met.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It can be both.

  1. Punch until stops moving.
  2. Punch some more because we have to be sure.
[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 hours ago

1 Buy knuckledusters.
2 Start punching him at his toes first and move up.

At some point he'll stop moving.

[–] ugandan_airways@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What are the chances of this line of thinking catching on with the other republican fuck nuts? I’d normally say zero, but with Noem getting “transferred” and Tillis and Kennedy humiliating her with their questions (she may not feel the humiliation but she should), I’ll give it a 1% chance.

[–] hammertime@lemmy.org 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

About the same percent as them realizing they’re the baddies and stopping.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 2 points 1 day ago

So you're telling me there's a chance...

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Hes an idiot that who should never be given any power in the first place.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 14 hours ago

He is in power because millions of Americans believe in his racial policies. Miller is not some kind of mind control expert, he is a symptom of the American white trash problem.

Germany in the 30s was not 4 guys, it's was millions of enthusiastic Germans.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 11 points 1 day ago

He's also a bone chilling psychopath.
