The good news is this shows Milker is even stupider than we thought. He had massive influence in his previous role without being openly in charge of the administration, and now will have responsibilities far beyond his capabilities. He will drive the remainder of Trump’s term into the ditch, and likely have to live in exile not only to flee justice, but possible assassination because a putrid sack of shit like him has created a lot of enemies. And he has to also live in constant fear that his greasy wife gets too close to an open flame and immolates them both.

Smart move for Democrats now is to spend every moment in the media demanding that Trump resign, giving every good reason for it (mental decline, corruption, abuse of office) and begin the impeachment in January. Steamroll over any Democratic dipshit who disagrees—the man is polling in the 30s and can be brought to the teens with repeated attacks, and Republicans will be very unconvincing trying to defend him because they don’t really want to defend him. Hobble him, remove him if possible, but leave him toxic going into 2028.

I’ve been a little bemused by all the lefty takes about this, that Stephen Miller’s promotion is evidence that the administration is re-arming, about ready to detonate an A bomb on Austin rather than what it is-a desperate attempt to remain relevant by refusing to admit they were the problem. The government by fiat we’re likely to see them try will fail, although it is also likely to notch a few victories that will send the most terminally online lefties to declare the election results are now essentially meaningless and Trump is still playing the 4 dimensional chess outlined in Project 2025. Clearly bad things can and will still happen, but to me this is more evidence that lame duck MAGA is finally on it’s heels than it is some grand Dr Evil take-over-the-world plan we’re just now hearing about 🙄

"I suppose Miller is only White House Chief of Staff not a Twitch streamer. " OK, that's particularly good. Saturday, in this boutique Quainttown called Point Richmond, adjacent to Richmond, CA, an ultraviolet blue post industrial city, I heard this old hippie lady talking to some kids, saying "His name is Hasan Piker." I just thought. SHIT. Piker: a wandering mendicant, a person of little worth, "taking the pike".

I love that you wrote that Miller is about to pee in his pants when the Dems take control of Congress. Miller isn't brave, or strong, or intelligent - he mistakes cruelty for all three, and the cruelty is the point in all that he says and does. Yes, there will be fuckery, but we are ready for it. We might be scared, but it doesn't mean that we won't face what's coming and defeat it. We are also about to find out just how cowardly, weak, and stupid Miller is.

I wonder if it's true that Bannon introduced this creep to some powerful buddies with "You'll want to meet this guy. He's an actual Nazi."
