Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Stephen Miller is apparently so racist he can’t even see nonwhite people on the streets of DC protesting his goons," historian Kevin Kruse commented on Bluesky. "Wait, is that what they meant by 'colorblind conservatism?'"

Pam Fessler, author and former correspondent for NPR, gave Miller a swift fact check in a post on X.

”Besides Miller's nastiness, he's wrong," she explained. "Guess what? A majority of DC residents, regardless of race, oppose Trump's unnecessary just-for-show federal takeover."

Podcaster Bob Cesca, meanwhile, warned Miller to be careful in antagonizing Washington, DC residents.

”I take comfort in the idea that, for the rest of his miserable life, he'll wonder how much phlegm and/or feces has been added to his restaurant meals," he joked on X.

Like not hyperbole. Like an actual Nazi. His ancestors must be so proud of him.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Everyone in this administration needs to be held accountable for their actions and crimes. And there deaths should be long, painful, and justified.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 5 points 12 hours ago

I demand Trump be arrested for stressing me out

[–] bcgm3@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Talk about the pot calling the kettle stupid and white.

He meant to say real Americans.

When Trump goes down, this MFer is next in line. Is Nuremberg still holding court these days?

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Actually, Vance is next in line, and considering Vance is as much of a spineless worm as Mike Johnson...

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Do you honestly think Trump is gonna "go down"? How would you envision that? I'm worried he's going to Kissinger it and live for another 15 years.

[–] TuffNutzes@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Seriously. Talk about a piece of shit who had too much time on this Earth.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 7 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

unnecessary, just-for-show takeover

It's not "just-for-show." In the case of a Civil War, they can now wall off DC, creating a fortress with an oceanfront escape route, and the White House in the center.

Anyone trying to take back the seats of power - White House, Capitol, Supreme Court, is going to have to breach that fortress and fight their way to those power centers, or at least the White House.

Taking full control of DC was just the first step.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I wonder which city is next

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 10 hours ago

It's easy for him to take DC, nobody is watching out for it. It will be much more difficult to take a major city, with a strongly resistant governor.

[–] BMW_stick@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

#truth. When 'checkpoints' are added, then we know for sure.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 17 hours ago

Wormtongue, whispering poison into HitlerPig's ear.

[–] kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Stupid white hippies

Yeah, well at least I don't have to wake up everyday with the knowledge that I'm Stephen Miller.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 17 hours ago

He does not deserve to die as an old man in his bed. He needs to die terrified and screaming.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Wealthy? Memorable? Free from morals and unplagued by guilt? Filled with the satisfaction of knowing that all your evil plans are working and no one is stopping you?

Yea, I'm sure he's just miserable every day after getting everything he wanted in life.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I LOVE that last sentence!

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 61 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Dude looks like the bad guy in a 2000's straight to DVD Disney movie. I'm so fucken tired of obviously evil people normalizing their bullshit. Nobody with empathy thinks like you, Stephen. Get your sweaty forehead out of our government.

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

he straight up looks like Goebbels.

[–] bcgm3@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

He makes me think of Mok from Rock and Rule (which is a dope movie in spite of starring Stephen Miller back when he had hair).

Mok from Rock and Rule

And he's a cuck. His wife left him to be in Elon's harem.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Stephen Miller is one of the worst humans alive.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

I'm so looking forward to see this sniveling coward arrested and locked up (or worse) when this regime falls down.

Yes I know that'll probably not happen that way but it gives me something to look forward to. Like solarpunk ideas, it gives me something to fight for rather than just something to fight against.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 31 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Literally from a skinhead, lol

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 3 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

'Blasted' out of a cannon over the ocean is what I should be reading about that POS Miller.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

I mean this guy is a fascist through and through.

He'll be near the top of the list if we manage to get the Nuremberg 2.0 trials underway.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

Release the Trump/Epstein files

[–] unconsequential@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

“All these demonstrators that you’ve seen out here in recent days, all these elderly white hippies, they’re not part of the city and never have been,” Miller claimed. “We’re gonna ignore these stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap because they’re all over 90 years old.”

Ah, yes racism and ageism! He’s not a eugenics guy at all, I swear. /s

[–] bcgm3@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

"Stupid doodie heads, the lot of 'em," Miller was also heard to have said before lying down for his afternoon nap. "A bunch of stinky, dumb, poo poo butts," he murmured, just moments before sucking his thumb and being tucked in.
