Stephen Miller sounded like a rabid dog on This Week with George Stephanopoulos. He has really drunk the Kool-Aid. Link |

He was on lots of shows today, I wanted to punch him. And I'm not a violent person.

I saw him on Meet the Press this morning. What a psycho ... and a flat-out liar.
Isn't he another Breitbart person? I thought he was Bannon's sidekick. That would explain a lot.

They are all very aggressive. Not professional, at all. And, they don't answer a single question!

Oh man I wanted to slap him silly. What a dink. How do they not understand that "many people say" and "everyone knows" is NOT evidence. I wish these liars pants would actually burst into flames on air.

I saw This Week also. He was obviously reading from a teleprompter so he must have been given the questions beforehand. Why would ABC News agree to do that?

More lying liars who lie.
Honestly, they need to keep him away from cameras. He's one of the least telegenic people I've seen on tv in quite some time.

LinkYeah the heat is on them now with all their screw ups and seeing that people aren't taking it lying down. Not so easy when you are in the hot seat -- so much easier to complain about others who are doing that job. |

ETA, Ok, I'm an idiot, I just re-read what show you said! Oops.

I think after Bannon, he is the most feared by the WH staff.

Is he the one who said "Trump's power should not be questioned"? I saw a quick blurb about someone saying that but didn't catch the name.

Fucking scary--
"The end result of this, though, is that our opponents, the media, and the whole world will soon see, as we begin to take further actions, that the powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial, and will not be questioned."
Those “further actions” remain frighteningly and ominously unclear, but Miller’s blunt declaration makes plain what those of us resisting Trump have been saying all along: This unpopularly-elected and historically unpopular president sees himself essentially as a dictator. And now that this belief has been openly stated as official administration policy, it should not be ignored or forgotten by the people, and should strengthen the resolve of the resistance."

Plenty of overlap between Miller and Breitbart people: "Miller developed a close relationship with Breitbart News staffers during his years on the Hill, and especially during the battle over the Gang of 8 immigration-reform bill that emerged in the aftermath of Mitt Romney’s 2012 defeat. The bill would have provided a path to citizenship for unauthorized immigrants—something Bannon and Sessions were both implacably opposed to. During that period, Breitbart became one of the loudest mouthpieces for the forces working against the bill, and Miller was instrumental in feeding them." 2peasrefugees.boards.net/thread/57397/stephen-miller?page=1&scrollTo=1529804 |

So sometimes I have to take a break from all the insanity because it's just too much. But I finally watched him on This Week with George S. He is frightening. Why do they think that enough evidence is "because I/we say so". Umm, ok, No! And yeah, it was more like a rabid teleprompter speech with talking points. No real discussion.
And no humanity. Maybe that is what bothers me most.

After thinking on it, I think he (Miller) is playing to Trump fanatics/ far right. Not middle of the road Trump voters but the fringe. They would totally buy into that type of thing. While I don't like someone yelling,preaching or demanding that I listen and tend to be turned off by that, I'm not the target audience. They aren't looking for a discussion- just telling it like it is because what they say is fact.  Preaching to "the choir", so to speak. Thankfully and hopefully that is not the majority of citizens. Dangerous sounding though. |

At best he is a racist. At worse he is a white nationalist. But then there is very little difference between the two.
While at Duke he wrote a column. Below is an excerpt from his last column.
"We live in an era when honesty itself has become controversial. We are told not to speak truthfully or even clearly, but instead in a fashion that is politically correct. These politically correct dictates are anathema to American values, yet many Americans have sadly surrendered to them a long time ago. The price for this surrender has been immense."
I have no doubt he believed at the time he wrote it 10 years ago. And I have to believe he still feels this way. But he is giving it all up for power. Either that or he believes trump's lies. In any case it's rather ironic. .

I heard him this morning and took an instant dislike to him. He was obnoxious when talking. And all that crap about the illegal voting? He/they just sound like idiots. But, as I commented to my husband, even scarier than Miller, who seemed to really believe the lies he was spewing, is that there are people all over the country who believe him and the other Trump spokespeople. I was glad that George was as firm and outspoken as he was, but I too wished that he had mentioned all the Trump family and people who are registered in two states.
