Honestly couldn’t stomach another blabbering to any members of the military. How degrading to celebrate 250 years with the orange-babbling-felon-buffoon and drunkard-kegseth. Saw the disgusting show with the top brass..

Some quibbles: He “got” Osama bin Laden? He didn’t go to a military “academy” but a military HIGH SCHOOL (usually the place incorrigible rich boys were sent). And did I read right he claims the LA Olympics???

Yes to all that. Amazing, huh? Some young sailors might not know, but the men (mostly) in charge know the truth.

I pulled, "It’s not new. Miller has always been the guy whispering the ugliest lines into Trump’s teleprompter. Family separations at the border? Miller. The Muslim ban? Miller. The move to label cartels as terrorist groups and use that as legal cover for drone strikes? Miller. The reflexive gutting of asylum law, refugee caps, and “wokeness” in the ranks? Miller. He has a gift for finding the most punitive, legally dubious option in any policy menu and dressing it up as patriotic necessity. Trump plays the carnival barker, but Miller provides the blueprint that makes authoritarian spectacle operational."

It wouldn’t surprise me if Stephen Miller as a kid got his kicks pulling wings from butterflies. He obviously enjoys causing pain to others, as cruelly as possible. Is it all a joke to him? Does he believe the crap he spews?

Whatever his psychology or motives, Miller is a vicious man translating Trump’s inclinations to vengeance, megalomania and paranoia into policy and actions. With Vought and Vance on his team, he’s a powerful enemy of the pro-democracy camp. On the plus side, he repels almost everyone.
