He was booed, then escorted off stage when running for high school class President in progressive Santa Monica, CA.:

“Am I the only one who is sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us,” a young Miller told a crowd in 2002 before being escorted off stage, according to a video obtained by Univision and the Washington Post.

I think the focus should be less on cheeseburgers and television and more on what the people in the administration who actually care about policy are planning to try to do to this country moving forward.

He tried to have a normal interview with the nutjob. Miller would not answer questions, he just went on a tirade. Tapper's interview documented that the president sent a deranged Nazi policy adviser to make a scene on a cable news show and then spent his morning watching said show and gleefully tweeting about it.

I think that does show how dangerous and RW the people running the country actually are.

I saw the interview on You Tube and made the choice to read the comments. I am scared to death since half of them thought that Miller "destroyed and "owned" Tapper and called CNN the "fake news network". One third thought he was on drugs. Obviously they haven't been paying attention or else they'd have known that this is how he really is all the time! I WISH it would be that easy to excuse his Nazi-esque personality and blame drugs. We are going to have a tough road ahead of us to reach these people before the midterms. I am so depressed now. This makes me realize we have to fight tooth and nail. RESIST! Michael Moore wrote a very doable list of 10 things we can do to stop the Moron. He wrote it last Feb and it is needed now more than ever.

Mon Jan 8, 2018, 10:40 AM

Bannon got Stephen Miller to write the immigration EO. Miller, a fifty-five-year-old trapped in a thirty-two-year-old’s body, was a former Jeff Sessions staffer brought on to the Trump campaign for his political experience. Except, other than being a dedicated far-right conservative, it was unclear what particular abilities accompanied Miller’s political views. He was supposed to be a speechwriter, but if so, he seemed restricted to bullet points and unable to construct sentences. He was supposed to be a policy adviser but knew little about policy. He was supposed to be the house intellectual but was purposely unread. He was supposed to be a communications specialist, but he antagonized almost everyone. Bannon, during the transition, sent him to the Internet to learn about and to try to draft the EO.

..... his eyes open and shut in a very nonchalant way... often closing but only half way... not a full human blink. Like the doll with the slow and unpredictable blinking eyes as you move it about.

It is like this Miller dude huffs solvents of some sort... like maybe xylene or toluene, just before he gets up on stage to go into his spiel and diatribes of how much of a political and financial genius tr-dump really is.

Miller is tr-dump's Nazi fan-boy - no heart, no feelings, total lack of anything that might resemble a conscience.

They are both an extreme danger to the continuation and perpetuation of American Democracy.
