For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
If you want to spend 75 minutes learning entirely too much about this fucker, I highly recommend this video:
I watched this a few weeks ago. Despite being incredibly terrible subject matter, it's borderline required viewing. This fucking Wormtongue is reprehensible.
What they did in Venezuela was so reprehensible that this is really the only possible defense. You can't murder a bunch of innocent people to capture a drug trafficker and think that you get the moral high ground. If they can arrest Maduro and bring him to the US, then Venezuela should be able to arrest Trump for murder and bring him to Venezuela.
There is no moral high ground. There is no good outcome. This is just what happens when evil people gain control of the world's most powerful military.
The fact that he’s allowed to be a public spokesperson for the administration speaks wonders. Wormtongue is supposed to be whispering in the shadows like he was in the first term. He’s now the public face of the mask off authoritarian message that keeps ramping up.
I was just saying tonight - the fact that we're seeing more and more of racist Nosferatu means things are getting much worse. They are have dropped all pretense of giving a shit. They're not even giving us lies anymore. It's now just "fuck you that's why".
His role is to throw shit around. It has two purposes.
It works as a distraction from what the actual administration is doing, but they're also watching if any of the shit sticks.
Vance is doing the same.
A lie needs to be told 3 times for anyone to believe it, so they're "priming the pump" for Trump to deliver the final lie and make his followers believe that it's the right thing to do.
Wannabe Henry Kissenger without the charisma, intellect, ability to disguise evil as perfectly logical foreign policy.
Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller is behind most of the bad stuff in this administration, and behind ALL of the immigration stuff. Trump has already floated him as the guy to be in charge of running Venezuela. He will turn it into a slave colony, and force them to pump their oil for us. And worse.
The Dems need to make him as much of the face of MAGA as Trump, and I mean that literally. He is one of the most repellent people on the planet, and just looking at his picture gives you an accurate first impression. Most of America has never even heard of this guy, yet he is Trump's most trusted and influential advisor.
The Dems need to make every voter aware of PeeWee Himmler, and make him a major issue in the upcoming Midterm Elections. Trump has some mysterious charisma that's lost on me, but PeeWee Himmler has an anti-charisma like I've never seen before. To just see him is to dislike him, but as you get to know him, you realize that he's actually pure evil, like Wormtongue whispering poison in the demented Trump's ear.
Make him a central figure in MAGA, second only to Trump, and run against him hard. Just like Trump, he has a notoriously thin skin, so besides making him known, it will have the effect of humiliating him.
If we can't get these traitors out of office, we can at least make sure that they don't get to luxuriate in their evil power, make them guard their safety, and fight hard for everything they want that they thought would be easy to take. We have to harass them mercilessly, every minute of every day, and Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller needs to be taking a LOT of that harassment.
So, by that same logic, any other country can, if it has the resources, kill him because reasons, right? If international rules are over...
I mean effectively that's basically what they are calling for... Hell I think that's half what they are hoping for... either another country makes an attempt to attack and we get to test out our detection and defenses before launching a sharp counter and claiming whatever country attacks as our own. Or everyone's too afraid to, and then we leverage our position as the unstable psychopath bully that everyone just gives whatever it asks for in the hopes that they can avoid being the next bullying target.
This thread’s title is not sensational. Dudes a childish maniac with influence over the use of nuclear weapons.
And MAGA worshippers are watching with glee.
As a non-Merican I hope the Union falls apart before Trump can crown himself King of America.
If I could pick one person in the entire world to just not exist he would easily be in my top 3.
This dude gave an unhinged rant in high school. None of this should be surprising. He and his wife need to be yeeted into the sun.
This is getting dark but at this point US is clearly on a path to start using their powerful military to invade and occupy other countries. They are becoming the Nazi Germany of the XXI century but since they have nuclear weapons no one will be able to stop them. This will basically mean new cold war between US and China (and maybe EU if they manage to unite and develop a common position). So yeah, a lot of suffering ahead of us with a chance of nuclear war.
Except that, if China went full cold war with the US, all they'd have to do is stop selling to the US and the entire US economy would collapse. Not to mention that economic sanctions against the US would cripple the country completely, because Trump would just immediately default on the country's debt (as he loves to do) and, oh yeah, the entire NYSE would crater to 0 in about 5 minutes flat.
People may have shrugged off Trump as a grifter, but Miller struck me as a pathetic excuse for a politician the very first time I saw him
He's a true believer in white nationalism. And he's not strictly wrong, either. In a world of Might Makes Right, the uncontested heavyweight champion can and does have a "right" to send in the goons, because there's no countervailing force.
Miller's got the reins of this monster and he's outspokenly using it in a way the advisors for Obama and Bush and Clinton admins were more sheepish about. But you're foolish to believe the Bin Laden raid into Pakistan was any less internationally criminal than the attack into Caracas. It was just more politically palatable. In the same way, the US support for the overthrow of Assad and the installation of form Al Qaeda in Iraq leader Ahmed al-Shara and our proxy war against Yemen has absolutely been "just about the oil" passing through the Suez Canal.
Miller's committed the unspeakable crime of saying the quiet part out loud. And his voice is annoying to listen to. But he's not breaking from our international policy in a material sense. He's just coming at it like he's six whiskeys deep at the Klan Rally rather than four martinis in at the Yale Business Club.
But you’re foolish to believe the Bin Laden raid into Pakistan was any less internationally criminal than the attack into Caracas.
There's a big difference between kidnapping the president of a country and kidnapping somebody who is internationally wanted and who the country in question denies harbouring.
Sure, both are violations of international law, but one is easy more serious than the other.
Miller is a Nazi ballsack
How has most of America not heard about this virulent pus bag? He’s on the news constantly, foaming at the mouth, shouting shit that would have gotten him dragged to the gallows by an angry mob any time before 1920 (and even then only because he absolutely would have funded the Pinkertons).
the majority of america is either so disillusioned with the system or so inherently selfish that they simply don't care at all unless something "political" directly effects them
So basically mask off right now.
“Man made of shit doesn’t understand how to use honey to attract flies”
Hey, babe. Wake up. No, seriously, wake up. Its time to hit the streets.
Amazing words from a country whos citizens have absolutely no reason to pay it taxes.
Temu Goebbels is such a whiny bitch.
Everyone of these fuckers saying that should be required to stand in the frontline
So we can remove this administration and take their assets by force according to his own rules
The problem this time is that unlike Germany, the US has almost unlimited technology, military force, and the backing of Russia. Fascism usually burns itself out for lack of resources. This time it could take a hundred years.
Now there's a guy who missed his nominative determinism calling, he would have been much better at that job too.
I can't wait to see this guy get the death penalty from the hague.
Oh Shitler
