The Greedy Hubris Of A Repulsive Creep

This is a rare essay for congressional Republicans, in the unlikely event that any of them happen upon it—perhaps now that their dirty work has federal agents manhandling senators, they’ll spend a few hours outside their bubble.

It could double as a suggestion to congressional Democrats to make more Americans familiar with Stephen Miller.

But mainly it’s for Republicans.

Donald Trump of course bears ultimate responsibility for his administration’s unconcealed efforts to create civil unrest. And to the extent that unrest provides him more opportunities to bluster ominously, or consolidate power, he relishes it.

But Miller is the author of the strategy, which serves two purposes: to titillate him, personally, and to lay groundwork for yet more intoxicating barbarism.

But there will never be a satisfactory answer for how such utter scumbags were afforded such massive, destructive power.

Trump could not pass the background check required for most jobs but he can be PRESIDENT? A multi-felon who never conceded a legitimate election and tried to overthrow the government......something is VERY WRONG in America.
