Sound familiar?



Miller is Jewish which makes this all the more grotesque.

1. So they have a pattern to follow

R.I.P. USA

4. From the start, Ben Franklin thought we would not keep our democracy.

He was correct.

15. Hey I_D

who was the Frenchman? back in the 1700's when we were first forming our country that stated:

A Democracy will work until and individual or group of individuals figures out they can vote themselves money???????

[Irish_Dem]

18. The quote has been attributed to Ben Franklin.

Ben Franklin spent 9 years in France as the first US ambassador there.
But he was born in Boston MA. And very much an American.

The rich have always manipulated the system and bribed polticans here in the US.
But there was an attempt to maintain rule of law, democracy, fair elections.
And to give the people some of the wealth generated by the greatest economy in the world.
We still were not on par with other advanced countries in terms of education, healthcare, etc.

Now the pretense is gone. Putin and the billionaires own this country lock, stock, and barrel.

2. A dire message to Stephen Miller,

I'm going to paraphrase a few words from the itinerary of a Jewish man fleeing Europe, I believe from the late 1800s (around 50 some years before Hitler?):

"If they find out about the thing, they are going to kill us all."

Dude, you are playing with dynamite!

[Marie Marie]

3. I may not live to see it but mark my words:

Stephen Miller will eventually get what is coming to him. When that "boy" goes down, it will be hard and he will have earned every ounce of crap reigning down on him. I know, that just like Trump, living inside his miserable self - the fact that there is no real joy or happiness in his life - is the very definition of instant karma. You fill your days inflicting hate and vitriol on others can only leave the same swirling around inside of you. That has to be enough for me for now but I guarantee it - his day is coming. Just want a front row seat to watch - just like we watched Elon swirl down the crapper.

6. He's only 39, Trump won't be around much longer to protect him.

Miller will be reviled by all decent people for his Trump years. He will become a political pariah, relegated to fringes of the far right racist nationalist movement he created..

[Blue Full Moon]

5. Makes one wonder. It's not fake. Ye singing praises to Hitler. They don't mean me.

[surfered]

7. Baby Goebbels is one sick puppy.

8. He is a repulsive repile... A pox on his own family, who fled the Eastern European pogoms...

19. Powerful story in Politico - thanks. But I believe that the rest of his family also hates Stephen.

[DENVERPOPS]

9. Stephen Miller and the 2025 folks

have been working on an agenda/list all during Biden's presidency..........

It is organized to move in accelerating Medium Baby Steps. A prioritized shedule/outline is given to the Republican Politicians and Trump's Cabal every day as their to do list. There is another list of things to do in the shadows, behind smoke and mirrors, using Trump as a diversion to what else they are doing out of sight.......

13. They're running the federal government.

10. Nailed it

11. The grandchild of the oppressed turns oppressor. A self-hating Jew turns full Nazi fascist.

Bondi checks in with Miller every morning. I read it on WIRED Politics section.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Miller_(advisor)

Miller has been given significant influence over the Department of Justice, with Attorney General Pam Bondi taking a largely implementing role.[120]
Miller has criticized federal judges as "Marxist judges" and claimed they were carrying out a "judicial coup" by restricting the powers of the US president.[110]
In March 2025, after a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to return back flights of deported migrants headed to El Salvador, Miller pushed for the flights to continue.[40]
Miller became a leading official in the Trump administration's actions against higher education, alleging universities did not do enough to curb antisemitism and protect Jewish students. The actions have included revoking federal funding to universities to demand policy changes, arresting foreign students and demanding changes to the makeup of student bodies.[121][122][123]

In May 2025, Miller said regarding immigration cases that "the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion," and that the Trump administration was "actively looking at" carrying out such a suspension, depending on "whether the courts do the right thing or not"; Article One of the United States Constitution forbids such a suspension "unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it."[124]
He later visited the headquarters of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement in May, calling for officials to increase the pace of deportations.[125]
Miller and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were involved in the preparations to revoke visas of Chinese students in the United States and increase restrictions on them.[126]
Later in May, Rubio announced the U.S. government would "aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields" and also announced the U.S. would increase scrutiny of all future visa applications from China and Hong Kong.[127] Miller coordinated the federal government response to the June 2025 Los Angeles protests, giving orders to agencies including the Department of Defense.[40]

Recent reporting shows Miller has a large financial stake in Palantir, the company that is providing technology to ICE deportation efforts, raising concerns of conflicts of interest by ethics experts.[128]

12. The amount of time I'd feel badly

if ANYTHING happened to Miller, could NEVER be measured by any known scientific method.

14. He might be the next contender for my daily list

16. The worm turns

Sooner or later, Miller will do something that pisses off Trump and he will become the new enemy of the state.
