Shit about to get even more fascist. Wiles was a piece of shit but a as semi-competent one.
Miller is going to go hard on fascism and give access to Trump to the worst people.

The next two months are going to be hell.
*years
Bold of you to assume he’ll live that long. His dementia is very very obvious and he looks like warmed over shit (more so than usual). Every clock tick is getting louder and louder
I've been hearing some variation of "he'll be dead in a few months" for at least 6 years - I'm not at all convinced unless I see some actual progress.
I think he's going to live to be 102
His dad lived longer and he’s got the best healthcare in the country. Evil people love proving everyone wrong about how long they’ll live.
By all means, I hope I’m wrong.

Depends how the months go.
In case anybody was in doubt about what Trump's response to the midterms would be -- it is, of course, the double down.
"I think he learned his lesson" - Susan Collins
I think maybe she finally did.
Narrator: She didn’t.
Her quotes today confirmed it
I could see Collins getting visited by the three ghosts of Christmas and then, afterwards, her response would be: "It's never enough."

And the irony is now that she lost her job instead
She sure learned her's

PeeWee Himmler is Tump's Wormtail, whispering poison into the demented king's ear.
He probably told Trump: "Listen, Big Guy, it's your lame duck era, and you've worked hard enough. You just tend to your legacy and your pet projects, and let me handle the pesky executive functions, okay?" And Trump liked the sound of that.
Now we'll have PeeWee Himmler speaking for a demented president.
I'd say that's the clearest signal from him yet that he has zero intention of signing a single thing that comes across his desk for the next two years. Miller is the guy you put in when you realize it's suddenly time to hide all the bodies, rip all the copper out of the walls, and plant a few IEDs for the next guy to find as you lock the door behind you and break the keys, plain and simple.
This is not a signal that Trump is thinking of compromise. Chief of Staff is an incredibly powerful position. By controlling access to the president, they have more control over policy than most cabinet members.
This may be less so w/ Trump bc he's such an undisciplined POTUS. But any power Miller gets will surely be used for wickedness.
Especially because Miller knows the specific ways to manipulate Trump - it's how he's embedded himself so deeply already, effectively controlling domestic law enforcement, immigration and DOJ policy, despite that he still had layers of people separating him. Now by controlling access, he can decide exactly what Trump hears and therefore thinks.
I think we got lucky in 2026 with ICE not at polls, but I think this is the earliest signal to not take a victory lap yet, and that they will try a full coup in or by 2028. It will be VERY hard with them losing the House and Senate, but I still think Miller will try.
I've been uncharacteristically optimistic all week, I haven't used any drugs since before election day but I am riding high on a sudden newfound optimism for the future of America, im really excited to see how 2028 plays out, I feel like MAGA is in for a quick demise, and yet there is still a cynical part of me waiting for it all to come crashing down any day now, I worry I'm in for a dangerous crash at the end of this high
Like the god-damned villain in a horror movie that just won't die
We need some prosecutions to make it harder for the MAGA nazis to return
This may be less so w/ Trump bc he’s such an undisciplined POTUS.
This is even more so with Trump, because he's so easily manipulated. He always tends to agree with whoever he talked to most recently -- he even had a meeting with Mamdani and came out of it repeating all Mamdani's talking points and praising what a great guy he was. With the Chief of Staff largely controlling who has access to him, the Chief of Staff can control who he gets manipulated by.

Anyone who thought Trump was going to moderate his rhetoric was definitely dreaming. Prepare for the White House to be much, much worse.
On the other hand, any Democrat who thought that they might be able to work with Trump during his lame duck years just got a dose of reality.
I'm sure Schumer and Jefferies are still going to spend two years trying.

I will have to say while I did Nat C that coming, it makes sense.
This isn’t really a change per say, both those individuals suck as human beings.
Pragmatically, this might work out for us. Based on how little we ultimately know about Susie Wiles, relative to the rest of the chronies, I’d assume she was much more competent than Miller will be about keeping things coaligned as much as possible as they’re trying to coordinate the interests (seemingly in this order) of:
- Trump
- Trump family
- Epstein co-conspirators / blackmail assets
- US oligarchs / federalist society (i.e. John Roberts, Russ Vought, Musk, Heritage foundation, etc.)
- Russia
- Israel
- Saudi Arabia
- Other foreign nations
- Foreign oligarchs
- Chronies (Rubio, Miller, Hegseth, etc.)
I can all but guarantee Susie was actually phenomenal at this, given the difficulties. For ex, I assume Miller is going to prioritize white supremacy over Israel obviously unless it’s a really good deal. He will likely not support Rubio’s decisions nearly as much. Stuff like that.

In case anybody who isn’t convinced that this Trumpland isn’t a festering racist conclave of rats and haters who have no compassion for human life if their colour isn’t white, then this appointment of the head rat should spell it out clearly to the whole world that the UNITED STATES is now run by a mentally unbalanced demon!
They did a coup last time. Pretty sure they are planning to do another in two years. Miller is just starting with the planning already, moving up in position to start up the fuckery.
or allow violence when the blue wave is sworn in. I wouldn't put ANYTHING past these fucks.

If Miller gets the opportunity he will try to seize as much power as he can.
That the highly competent woman is the first to be blamed, and not the highly and prominently incompetent Hegseth, is telling. Also a minor consolation to them having power for so much longer that they will have less skill supporting their agenda.
Wiles is the latest in a series of prominent female administration officials to leave or be fired ‒ including Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Press Secretary Katie Zacharia, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer.
Trump seems to only fire women…
Clearly, it is a strong signal that trump wants to work with the democrats.
I'm sure Chuck and Hack will see it that way.

So the voters basically say to Trump "we'd prefer a government that isn't so far-right" and Trump's reaction is to veer even harder to the right
Far enough right and it doesn't matter what the people think.
Tbh Miller probably said "I can help with the democrat problem."
Remember when he used to spray paint "hair" on his head?
He is bucking for a vice presidency, I think. He's in my opinion the most dangerous man in the White House.
