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!

If you're saying "refuse illegal orders" is a rebellion that's uh...preeeetty telling on what sort of orders you're planning on giving.

I carry a little glimmer of satisfaction knowing that as soon as this administration crumbles, be it political fallout from Epstein or Trump just finally keeling over one day, Miller is most likely going to become the fall-guy for a massive portion of the wrongs committed by the administration. Rightfully too.

But the point is, he's not liked. He is disgusting and off-putting and the only reason he has any station or power at all is because he learned how to wormtongue Trump and has no qualms about acting as sycophantic as he acts fascist.

Nobody likes working with him, nobody wants to be around him, and everyone is happy to let him do the talking because he seems to think he's invincible and will never face consequences. He doesn't fit into modern politics, it's just that we're surrounded by so much other nonsense daily that he seems to just blend into the background. When Trump's power wanes, he will stick out like a swollen, festering, sore thumb and the sharks will smell blood.

This. I don't think Miller knows just how much his own side doesn't like him. He does have people over him with more power who keep him around because he's useful, and they protect him because he's useful, but once he's outlived his usefulness, they'll wash their hands of him.

Basically like a bunch of gangsters. I fucking hate these shiteaters.
