Speaking to Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Wednesday, the White House deputy chief of staff launched into an unhinged rant against Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson—both of whom Donald Trump has called to be jailed—while accusing them of failing to protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.

    Imagine being braindead enough to think American cities, like Portland, are burning hellscapes and then being someone like me, who lives on the west coast and visits Portland from time to time and knows that it’s absolutely gorgeous and I’ve never felt unsafe, despite always hitting up the bars downtown in the middle of the night.

    I honestly can’t fathom being that ignorant.

    This isn’t the stone age. You can literally go online and find all sorts of publicly accessible live cams in Portland and witness it being the opposite of a burning hellscape.

    These people are just THAT stupid.

    But to be clear, it isn’t just stupidity. It’s that they actually WANT an American city to be a burning hellscape so that it justifies their misguided hatred. They’re anti-American as fuck.

    I love his rants. He fancies himself to be a Hitler-style orator, but he always comes off as a screeching weenie, instead of the scary tough guy he imagines himself to be.

    IF the Forces of Good manage to take our country back from the Nazis, we need to have a very official tribunal to try people like PeeWee Himmler, but I still harbor fantasies about what I would like to see happen to someone like this guy. Dragging him behind a vehicle past cheering crowds would we a good start.

      I’d like to see him have to pick up trash alongside highways for the rest of his life. It’d be a very fitting punishment for this entitled little jackass. A little twerp who is on video as a high school kid whining about having to pick up after himself because he thought it was beneath him.

          Exactly! I would so love that for him, along with instructing him about why that particular punishment is the one selected. Maybe he’d learn the value of working with his hands, doing something actually useful to society.

        Oh, yeah, if we get it back, we have to have a MAGA purge, then reconfigure our government to keep them from taking control every again. That includes a new court with 13 seats, and the impeachment of Thomas and Alito for their crimes.

        Also, we need to get rid of gerrymandering, the Electoral College, ban lobbying, have true Campaign Finance Reform, Federal financing of elections, etc.

        He’s trying SO very hard to be the next Trumpian “fist pounding dictator” who will lead Trump’s base after his inevitable and likely relatively imminent passing.

        It’s wild how nobody seems to get what hooks Trump’s political base, his fervent mob of ride-or-die, armed loyalists with the combined brainpower of an entire kindergarten.

        It’s not Miller that’s for sure. He had zero power before he was able to impress Trump, and his pathetic whining and stereotypical “stringy nerd” aesthetics are going to push him back to obscurity the moment Trump breaths his last. He also talks too much, he tries too hard to sound like a criminal mastermind, when Trump’s base is calling for a huge Orc to spit in their faces and choke them out while telling them everything is gonna be great and they’re very good boys.

          Himmler was a similar cunt. Close to the same story.

          Behind the bastards did a series on Himmler. Some More News did Miller. Even John Oliver did a segment on Miller.

          Miller is a Himmler wannabe.

    It’s so funny when you see some North Korean level bullshit from Faux talking heads - chittering away about how Taco has ushered in an “era of real masculinity” because of Taco’s “muscular leadership”. The only thing missing is talking about how long and girthy his huge throbbing veiny cock is, and how satisfied Melania is with his huge member…

    They say stuff like that and you see Taco when he’s trying to hide his hand, hunched over, mumbling, when he’s sitting down, or when he’s standing, doing that weird stance he does to try to hide how fat he is.

    Or, even more hilariously, you see PeeWee Himmler queening out about whatever fascist racist bullshit he likes to shriek like every weak dumbass you had to deal with in junior high…

    Yeah, “muscular leadership” and “real masculinity” is exactly what comes to mind when I see these clowns in action. That goes for all of these asshats.

    Elsewhere during his Hannity appearance, Miller claimed that the apparent success of the federal takeover in D.C. showed why other cities should welcome the president’s crime crackdown.

    “The Trump plan has brought historic safety to one of the most violent cities on earth, Washington, D.C. That’s what President Trump wants for Chicago. That’s what he wants for Portland, that’s what he wants for Los Angeles,” Miller said.

    “And yet, Democrats are on the side every night of the gangbangers, the predators, and now even the domestic terrorists.”

    Just found this break down of the arrests made by the Memphis safe taskforce as of Monday:

    The DOJ offered some insight into the reasons behind these arrests, although 16% of them have been labeled as “other” without further elaboration.

    In the first week of operation, beginning September 29, the 20 local, state and federal agencies that are involved in this crime-fighting operation successfully apprehended 181 warrant fugitives in total. The DOJ says 82 (or 45%) of these warrant pickups were ICE arrests.

    The task force also arrested 41 suspects on gun-related charges, 26 for narcotics violations, 18 for sex offenses, two for probation/parole violations, and one homicide suspect.

    The DOJ says the task force also made 52 “other” arrests, but no further information on those arrests is available.

    So out of 181 “fugitives,” you’ve arrested exactly 1 murder suspect. Nearly half of everyone else you arrested were immigrants, and 16% of people you arrested you can’t even give us a reason for doing so?

    I know we’re not supposed to use the F word anymore, but this sounds like a lotta FASCIST BULLSHIT!

    If I didn’t know any better, I might think ole honest Stephen Miller is lying to the rest of America about what the administration is actually achieving going into these cities that have become “war zones” and “bloodbaths”

      He is like every villain rolled into one, but he seems to have more of a direct role deciding policy than Goebbels.

      Marco Rubio, seemed to take credit but apparently Miller is actually the idea man who decided the U.S. should start murdering boats full of Venezuelans in international waters with drones.

      Miller also seems to be the one who came up with the idea to give ICE quotas they had to meet.

      Yeah, pretty much.

      Trump is old and easy to manipulate as long as they distract him with pointless things (like attacking his personal enemies with the DOJ). He’s the President like a 3 year old is The Chef when helping cook. You flatter him with unearned praise and give him activities to distract him while you do the actual work.

      In his cabinet are people, like Miller and Leonard Leo, who are effectively controlling the power of the presidency by proxy. Miller is a white supremacist xenophobie who was given ICE and he’s using it exactly how you’d expect an open racist to use it.

      The fact that it creates domestic friction and causes protests is a bonus, so Bondi can attack Democrats as terrorists and supporters of terrorists and work on “””protecting””” the next election.

    What I heard in there is that America is one of the most dangerous places on earth because of gun violence. Weird that republicans say guns keep us safer, and that we should keep the most devastating weapons legal, and must absolutely lower the bar to the lowest level so anyone can obtain them in the name of American liberties. This administrations is filled with maggots that will continue fueling themselves off the dead bodies resulting from gun violence, while pinning the blame on the boogeyman, and not their policies and agendas.

    Maggots.

      All major news orgs are simply parroting the lies from the fascist administration. People are protesting against ICE kidnapping people and racially profiling and deporting people without due process(and lots of other things, but these protests are the ones the administration treats the worst). Anytime you see something stephen miller says, it is a lie.

          Obligatory, the founding members of the think tank that created Project 2025 were up to some fuckery in Russia during the late 80s and early 90s.

          Holding mock elections to teach Soviet officials about democracy and “free” markets, helping to establish the first go between for U.S.-Russia businesses when they embraced capitalism. Teaching them how you should run government like a business out of the kindness of their hearts.

          There’s a reason the U.S. is feeling increasingly like post Soviet Russia, and a reason it feels like some people in positions of power seem to be pushing for secession and the collapse of the Union. They are, and the members of the Heritage Foundation that helped establish post Soviet Russia never intended to help them establish democracy regardless of what they claimed to be doing in the late 80s.

          The oligarchy they created in Russia wasn’t democracy gone wrong. It’s the result of their test run overthrowing an established government, and it went exactly like they hoped. They replaced it with a state run corporation, free of any public protections or accountability.

          Now they’re dismantling our federal government under the guise of replacing it with a Christian Nationalists government.

          Meanwhile, Russia is feeding their “patriots” the same BS, and using a nearly identical playbook. The only difference is which nation their patriots have to be willing to fight and lay down their lives for (Russia vs US) but the outcome is the same, the Oligarchs always win.

            When you see people like Curtis Yarvin and people like Musk/Thiel that worship something like The Sovereign Individual, you get an idea of the mindset. Or when you see that Bannon wants to crash the system…I would not be at all surprised if Russia and other enemies gave these people a boost, started whispering crazy shit in their ear and validating crazy shit they already believed. I’m quite sure they wanted Taco to win every time he ran, and I’m sure they did their part to assist.

            Between those crazy assholes with wayyy too much influence and the Seven Mountains Mandate fuckery (remember: Charlie Kirk was part of that madness) that also has way too much influence…we just have groups with way too much influence that actually HATE and DESPISE what this country is supposed to stand for. They want to break it and loot it - and as for the normal Americans? Well, they are just subjects that have to deal with the whims of these weird freaks that are fundamentally, by definition, ANTI-AMERICAN.
