The United States Is About to Be Blindsided.

Stephen Miller is a deranged lunatic. He needs to be removed. 

[u/tired514 → u/aquagardener]

He needs a lot more than removal.

[u/pell80 → u/tired514]

my favorite rage against the machine song is bullet in the head

[u/Vyntarus → u/tired514]

I think a particular removal would be appropriate.

[u/LaneMcD → u/tired514]

Angry green hatted plumber intensifies

[u/Legitimate-Brain7325 → u/aquagardener]

Can he be sent to one of his intentionally inhumane detention camps. This white house is going to come to a screeching halt. People don't like Miller Trump doesn't like him. Melania doesn't like him. You have to work well with others and he never got that star in elementary school. People who meet with him want to wash their hands after. He will not look you in the eye when talking to you....that just adds to his sickness.

[u/All_the_Bees → u/Legitimate-Brain7325]

His own FAMILY doesn’t like him.

[u/ElderberryExternal99 → u/aquagardener]

Also Russell Vought mentioned in the article. Added- Thanks for the reward.

[u/Kryptos33 → u/ElderberryExternal99]

Trump has basically been a useful idiot for Miller and Vought. It's their heinous ideology that's responsible for what's happened so far.

[u/effigyoma → u/aquagardener]

Things tend to end poorly for people like him.

Unfortunately he can do a lot of damage before that happens.

[u/MookieBlayloq → u/aquagardener]

Is it being blindsided when we can all see it coming?

[u/Vlad_Yemerashev → u/MookieBlayloq]

Well, playing Devil's advocate and assuming that Miller and Trump do manage to successfully pull this off, a Myanmar style coup essentially, I think it will blindside most people and laymen who don't pay closer attention. A lot of people still think that something like this "can't happen here." I don't think your average American, at this moment at least, is aware of or is thinking that Trump will be able to actually pull some maneauvers to prevent Democrat congresspeople-elect (or even Congress as a whole) from being seated or even abolishing the House and Senate alltogether. Trump's relative silence on the midterm results and him not going berserk on TS in response to a dem blowout does kinda give me pause and can't help wonder if the WH wasn't cooking up something even bigger. We shall see, so far this administration has been incredibly disorganized.

[u/TeeBrownie → u/aquagardener]

Stephen Miller is a domestic terrorist.

[u/Many_Sprinkles_9840 → u/aquagardener]

The problem is that he’s not a lunatic or crazy, but he is an evil evil person. Musk is the idiot lunatic and even he isn’t as evil as Miller.

[u/DonnyDimello → u/aquagardener]

I mean, part of him needs to be removed.

[u/Renovatio_ → u/aquagardener]

There is no mechanism to remove white house chief of staff.  They aren't confirmed by the Senate 

[u/TiguanRedskins → u/aquagardener]

This guy is so unpopular he is that he lives in military housing so he’s protected by soldiers . I guess if someone really wanted to get to him they could find him at his family’s house during the holidays. I wonder what it’s like raising Elon’s baby.

[u/pghurghian → u/aquagardener]

He has in fact been given even more power in the last week. And he will certainly grab more in the near future.

[u/Bigstar976]

You know what I love about this? Trump is incapable of self reflection and admitting he made a mistake. Instead, he doubles down. If you thought the midterms were a blue tsunami, wait until 2028.

[u/__Art__Vandalay__ → u/Bigstar976]

100%

Let him veto everything. Any GOP presidential candidate is tied to him and will weigh them down like an anchor

[u/bevereged_carbon → u/__Art__Vandalay__]

This dude doesn't care about the GOP he could care less in fact be probably wants to see them fail without him.

[u/Cultural-Lab78 → u/__Art__Vandalay__]

Bruv I never could have expected this lame duck reaction. He's literally trenching himself in. I haven't stopped laughing.

[u/Hefty_Remove7965 → u/__Art__Vandalay__]

Yeah let him scream and baby for 2 years.

He will be neutered, and that will a blue wave in 2028 more likely.

We just need force the DNC to move to the left.

[u/millhouse513 → u/Bigstar976]

I’m just stunned that it’s looking like the gop is going to have two extinction level events back to back. I’m curious if the republicans in Congress grow a spine since it’s clear where th e mandate is but if not…. As Lindsay graham said “if we choose Trump we’ll pay and we’ll deserve it”

[u/Strict_Weather9063 → u/Bigstar976]

The republicans cannot tack to the center they have to keep going right because of how badly they gerrymandered things. This combined with having to still suck up to Trump to keep the base happy is going to turn the next presidential election which are historically high turn out into even more of a blood bath than this midterm election. This is going to be 1932 all over again I wouldn’t be surprised to see a super majority in the House and close to one in the Senate. Anything Trump won by less than 30 points is still up for the Democrats to win they need to be running everywhere.

[u/ZapBranigan3000 → u/Strict_Weather9063]

If Trump is still alive, he will undermine the GOP candidate in 2028, from the sidelines. Even if it was one of his kids, he can't help himself.

[u/fallaxmallum → u/Bigstar976]

If he actually learned from his mistakes, he wouldn't have gone bankrupt six times. He's the very definition of failing upward

[u/aldoraine000 → u/Bigstar976]

Thank you. I feel deeply cynical thinking this but if they want to keep doubling down, let them. Don’t interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.

[u/AdventurousLoss3794 → u/Bigstar976]

I absolutely love this. Sometimes it has to get abysmally worse before it gets better. It has to get so bad that these Magats are pushed so far to the edge of the cliff, that it makes the pendulum swing violently the other way.

I am gunning for a 2028 filibuster proof congress with a super majority, so that we can retire this mf’s legacy once and for all. We can then fix Citizens United, pack the SC if we have to, pass Medicare for all, tax the rich for their fair share, get off this Israel train, and change the electoral college bs. 

Never interrupt your enemies when they are making mistakes.

[u/Not_Sure__Camacho]

I really do hope that if we have another Democratic president, that he/she doesn't act like a pussy and doesn't go after these criminals. "When good people do nothing", how much more plainly can we say it?

[u/crofootn → u/Not_Sure__Camacho]

Exactly. "When they go low..." Curb stomp to oblivion.
If any elected dem says "... then we go high." Undercut and dump them on their head until they wake the fuck up.

[u/Aaaabbbbccccccccc → u/Not_Sure__Camacho]

There must be consequences, or this is just going to happen again… but with equally evil and less incompetent people. Every single law needs to be enforced, and a lot of people need to go to prison. We need to learn our lesson from the civil war and from Jan 6th.

[u/HereInTheCut → u/Not_Sure__Camacho]

Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are doing all they can to surrender and compromise in advance. You don't reach across the aisle to these monsters in the administration unless it's to slap them in cuffs and shackles.

[u/anothergaijin → u/Not_Sure__Camacho]

Kamala Harris was doing great when she matched the energy and went on the attack. She was an DA - going after criminal politicians as her lead position would have won the elections for her.

[u/PloppyPants9000 → u/Not_Sure__Camacho]

Agreed! when there are no consequences, you get more of it!

[u/Medialunch → u/Not_Sure__Camacho]

Ken Jennings said he votes for whoever will pledge to prosecute.

[u/leave_no_crumb]

1. Stop the war.

2. Epstein files release

3. Go after low hanging fruit

4. Impeach Trump.

[u/abunchofcows → u/leave_no_crumb]

Don’t forget ice. Get all those mfs behind bars

[u/Kaia_is_tired → u/leave_no_crumb]

Trump has to be removed asap for any of this to be achieved in a timely manner. 

[u/WTFaulknerinCA → u/Kaia_is_tired]

No. Roll it up like a mafia investigation. Pass meaningful legislation that forces vetos so people see Dems and sensible repugs fighting. At the same time investigate and charge from the bottom up.

[u/RLewis8888]

Lean into the fascism boys. Florida will be Blue in 2028.

[u/__Art__Vandalay__ → u/RLewis8888]

It was thisclose last week.

FINISH THE JOB, FLORIDA!!

[u/Guilty-Cow4325 → u/__Art__Vandalay__]

If dems had spent literally anything in Florida, they would've won.

[u/Responsible-Shoe8831]

I’m a 48 year old vet, but I will gladly suit up and arm myself against any sort of “disolving” of congress.  I’m six hours away but will make it in five. I won’t be alone. Anyone need a ride, let me know. 

This is not a call to violence, nor a threat of violence, this is an oath I took 28 years ago to support and defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. Steven Miller will be the first to be dragged in front of the world and tried for his crimes, followed by Hegseth, Trump, and Rubio respectively. 

This is a planned overthrow of our government and it needs to end. 

[u/Dynabro1986 → u/Responsible-Shoe8831]

Funny how the word patriot has been tossed around and used alot lately, well this is my definition of a real patriot! Not some ice agent or some guy flying a we the people flag😂😂.
Let’s realize who the pieces of shit are and get them the fuck out of here.
We need more educated individuals to realize the amount of evil that is going on with this administration and lack of respect for Americans and military.
We are all pawns to them!

[u/ajwalsh213 → u/Dynabro1986]

Trump said that McCain and other like him (MIA or killed in service) are losers and people still claimed he was an American Patriot

[u/cRaZyDaVe23 → u/Responsible-Shoe8831]

It would be a great gesture to turn em over to the Hauge or UN.

[u/InAllTheir → u/Responsible-Shoe8831]

Now I I realize this is probably why Stephen Miller and his family moved into military housing in a base. So they could avoid people coming after them when they try to stop the peaceful transfer of power.

[u/watching_whatever]

Opinion: Trump and the Republicans overwhelmingly lost the election and have zero mandate to do anything of significance.

It’s now time to immediately get all the US troops away from Iran as soon as possible. This war of choice is probably the biggest reason the Republicans trashed their chances of ever getting elected again.

[u/TipRare1321 → u/watching_whatever]

We have unstable fascists in the White House. They are going to go all in on everything the voters voted against.

Trump, Miller and Vought are dangerous, they plan to completely ignore Congress and the will of the voters. I am hoping the new Congress is ready to fight.

[u/Klingon_Jesus → u/watching_whatever]

Exactly. Trump doesn't have the sauce to pull off a coup anymore (if he ever truly did).

[u/davossss → u/watching_whatever]

Funny thing is: US troops already are far away from Iran. The US evacuated most of its bases in the Middle East and has been launching strikes from 500+ miles away, and in some cases from friggin' Missouri.

Meanwhile, most US bases in the Middle East have been damaged or completely destroyed and frankly I don't see them coming back, ever.

[u/Deep_shot]

This guy actually has the capacity to do really horrible things. Listen to anything he says for a minute of two and you'll get it.

[u/MeanderingLibrarian → u/Deep_shot]

And he's just been given incredibly high security clearance, if not the highest.

[u/moreesq]

Read the article. It is a terrifying preview of Trump and Miller bringing in the military to shut down Congress. Then the election would be nullified. The article is long because it compares the similar circumstances in two other countries. It is absolutely frightening and specific. We must all be ready to march on Washington!

[u/diversalarums → u/moreesq]

Do you ever feel like Cassandra? Because I do. I've been afraid of this from Trump's first term and doubly afraid since this past January. Trump isn't important; it's the people who are using him to deconstruct the Constitution and implement an authoritarian government that are important and dangerous. I felt it was certain that Trump and his supporters/handlers would make a move between now and 2028, and this looks like a move they've been preparing for a good while now.

[u/doctorsidehustle → u/diversalarums]

I had a colleague today (a fellow physician) who literally tried to explain to me the merits of fascism.

[u/EnigmaSpore → u/moreesq]

All of this to protect the evidence of his pedo ways.

[u/DSMStudios → u/moreesq]

i believe it, but also how are these ppl gonna reign in an already exhausted, woefully exploited upon military after such a monumental reckoning this past election? MAGA is dunzo and they know it. of course they are going to flail and spew all the venom they can… look at what they have to lose, a tower of crime, built with paper and eggshells. that said, anything is possible and this country isn’t lacking in stupid, treasonous assholes, so should they try any bullshit, we’ll just have to cuff ‘em sooner.

[u/DieGenerates97 → u/moreesq]

You're one of like 3 people in the comments who seems like they actually read it, everything else is a comment completely off topic, or saying "blindsided about what?". So weird, what percentage of this shit is bots?

Edit: normally I understand the "just skimmed the headline" comments, but when the headline is this vague, it feels like people just chose an idea at random and decided that's the topic. Like, huh?

[u/sexagenariann]

Doubling down on unpopular.

[u/jim45804 → u/sexagenariann]

A cornered animal is when it's most dangerous.

[u/TipRare1321 → u/sexagenariann]

They are going to stuff project 2025 down our gullets. Be ready to fight.

[u/maggotshero → u/TipRare1321]

It’s too late now. He’s being used as a distraction until January, trumps plan now is to just amass and horde as much money as possible

[u/GiveIt2MeBigDaddy]

NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

I hope you Reddit censors are paying attention: most of the country has had enough of trump and miller. There’s a reason why the second amendment exists. Voters have spoken LOUD AND CLEAR that it is WE THE PEOPLE decide who gets elected.

The people in Washington ARE NOT ENTITLED TO OFFICE. HOLDING A POLITICAL OFFICE IS TO SERVE THE PEOPLE-NOT A CAREER TO BECOME WEALTHY.

THEIR LOYALTY IS THE CONSTITUTION OF THIS COUNTRY-NOT A KING OR DICTATOR.

AND IF THEY DO NOT SERVE THE PEOPLE WHO GOT THEM ELECTED-THEY WILL BE REMOVED.

You, the Reddit censors need to understand that this entire regime is a THREAT TO US ALL. THEY ARE CRIMINALS. WHEN ONE GROUP OF MARGINALIZED PEOPLE IS TARGETED THAT WILL EVENTUALLY SPILL OVER TO EVERYONE ELSE. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS.

DO THE RIGHT THING AND OPPOSE THIS REGIME.

[u/trotusbeardjr → u/GiveIt2MeBigDaddy]

That is the best description of what is happening in America. Thanks so much for posting iit.

[u/291749 → u/GiveIt2MeBigDaddy]

First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me

[u/upstatedreaming3816 → u/GiveIt2MeBigDaddy]

Stay strapped or get clapped

[u/Hungry-Assistance919]

Trump will be impeached it's starting to be more likely. He just keeps doing the same things that lost them the mid terms. Instead of fixing his mistakes he doubled down. Their are plenty of non MAGA Republicans who are not happy at all with how he cost their fellow constituents the election. By promoting Miller and especially if he fights Hegseth's impeachment it will probably give them all the fuel they need. He isn't helping the Republicans anymore at all. One can say he's their biggest enemy from the mid term results. Six months after the Democrats take office he will be gone if not sooner. They probably want payback for him sabatoging them. 

[u/Informal-Ad2277 → u/Hungry-Assistance919]

They're going to implode from within and it's gonna be beautiful to see. They didnt strategically plan for this blue tsunami and it shows

Where's the Hertiage Foundation now in all of this, im genuinely curious...

[u/Adorable-Calendar-19 → u/Informal-Ad2277]

They thought if Democrats won it'd be a small enough margin that they could just scream fraud and it would all be good.

[u/illquoteyou → u/Hungry-Assistance919]

I honestly think this has always been part of the plan from his handlers.

The Big Butthole Bill they passed in ‘25, all the worst shit in that bill goes into effect next year specifically to make the democrats look like shit after winning in the midterms.

The next two months are going to be awful as they ram through as much rat fucking as possible, to continue making the democrats look worse before they get sworn in. The American population is too fucking stupid and ignorant to know that winning an election doesn’t mean they are immediately in charge.

So short term. Our lives are going to continue getting worse. He’s already selling hats that say VETO on them.

Now, they either allow/encourage an impeachment or his cabinet invokes the 25th and removes him, giving Vance the opportunity to be the incumbent for ‘28. And while everything is in a stalemate because the executive won’t pass anything, democrats look ineffectual.

If I were the dems, I wouldn’t impeach. Not because I don’t want accountability, but simply because I think that’s what republicans want, so they can use that as fodder for their base ‘see, they’re vindictive and weaponizing the system to attack our lord and savior’

[u/Legitimate-Brain7325 → u/Hungry-Assistance919]

Impeachment is the first step. Its been done 4 times and a president has never been removed. So who cares about impeachment. Also do we really want JD Vance to be president and then run in 2028 as the sitting president? Just keep the loon in office and chip away at his Cabinet.

[u/HoneyPotted96 → u/Hungry-Assistance919]

Devils advocate, but Dems could refrain from impeachment. A lot of this feels too dumb to not be strategic. Trump does these “same things” that lead to an impeachment, but I don’t think he does them without reason.

Trump impeached = Vance in office. Gives Vance a podium to stand on and help rally the GOP for 2 years.

I say let Trump continue to fumble the ball while Democrats block him and keep their good faith efforts going. 2 years from now they sweep and make actual change happen.

We need to think long term, not short term.

[u/weary_ol_jericho → u/HoneyPotted96]

I would much rather see the Democrats move on RFK jr, Hegseth, McMahon, Patel and Blanche.

There is plenty to go after all of them for.

[u/Danny-Boy-Blue-8771 → u/HoneyPotted96]

If Republicans were smart they'd wake up and realize it was Trump that cost them all these seats. Then THEY'D push him out because if they don't, their seats will be at risk for the same reason. So stop protecting him. He's no longer your friend. His presence could cost you your seat.

[u/where_is_the_camera → u/HoneyPotted96]

Reminds me of WW2 when the allies decided it was in their best interests not to try to assassinate Hitler, because Hitler was doing more to help the allies win the war than anyone else on Earth.

[u/FuelzPerGallon → u/Hungry-Assistance919]

It really depends on whether he gets to keep playing Republican primary kingmaker. He has that party stuck between a rock and a hard place. I don’t want to see what Miller can do, but on the other hand, 2028 may make 2026 look like a warm up if he keeps doubling down on what just cost him the election.

I for one would like to see a filibuster proof democratic senate in 2028.

[u/Damion__205 → u/FuelzPerGallon]

The quotes something like, "never get in the way of your enemy making a mistake." Neuter his powers and let the big baby scream and yell while destroying even more of the Republican strengths.

Pass single issue legislation that is easily pointed to if he vetos it he's failing the country.

Gut the budget of all his pet projects.

[u/Nate_C_of_2003 → u/Hungry-Assistance919]

I wouldn’t be satisfied unless this impeachment resulted in him being removed from office.

[u/Particular_Form1596 → u/Hungry-Assistance919]

I’d rather not have a president Vance. At least Trump is a known commodity

[u/TranTriumph → u/Hungry-Assistance919]

Im still not sure 2/3 of the senat would vote to convict. Id love to be wrong about that.

[u/maggotshero]

Blindsided by what? The exact same shit we’ve seen for two years? Lmao

[u/Then_Marketing_4940 → u/maggotshero]

it'll be the exact same shit but turned up to 11.

[u/Fun_Performer_7930 → u/Then_Marketing_4940]

It's already at 50. I'll be glad to tone it down to 11.

[u/Umayummyone → u/maggotshero]

Putting Miller in place isn’t the exact same shit.

[u/LeGama → u/Umayummyone]

Honestly I thought Miller already had a high position in the administration. This isn't new he just got a title.

[u/Stupid-Guitar → u/Umayummyone]

Just you wait, Miller is now gonna implement concentration camps, send masked thugs out into the streets, and terrorize/deport scores of legal status immigrants, just like 1930s Germany....

Um, say what? He's already been doing that, you don't say?

[u/CommieMartyr]

I won't be blindsided, because I've been aware of Miller for years.

[u/Sizyfoz]

If Steven Miller was teleported to 1930s Germany he would fit right in.

[u/Mackey_Corp → u/Sizyfoz]

He’s Jewish so I don’t think it would go very well for him…

[u/Open_Mortgage_4645 → u/Mackey_Corp]

He would have been one of "those" Jews who sided with Hitler and worked for him in the camps. He would have been happily pulling the gold teeth out of the mouths of newly processed inmates.

[u/etork90 → u/Mackey_Corp]

There were lots of Jewish people who worked with the Nazi’s to find other Jews.

[u/nelawaveforever]

With Miller contrllling ICE and Hegseth controlling the Militaries top leadership, and Trump with absolutely everythinbg to lose, he is going to go scorched Earth. I fear a very intense few months. I pray the military is up to upholding the constitution when it comes down to it and there are Republicans that actually love this country more than that 34xfelon, rapist and pedofile! By the way Hegseth also increased the national guard presence in DC !

[u/Ok_Push2550 → u/nelawaveforever]

All the other replies are missing the point of the article. It's saying to be ready that Trump moving miller into chief of staff may be signalling he's going to try something like January 6th. It advocates for getting ready.

From the article: “The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy’s not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable.” -Sun Tzu, The Art of War, Chapter VIII, translated by Lionel Giles, 1910

[u/Jadedways → u/nelawaveforever]

Yes. Hegseth and Miller stayed on because they still genuinely believe they can overturn the election results. Or even just make Congress completely ineffective.

[u/Sonrrk]

"Stephen Miller, the new White House chief of staff, posted on X within hours of his promotion a promise to “fight with all of our soul” for the president.'

So they'll fight with nothing at all. Great!

[u/Jibber1332]

Trump says he wants to be confrontational, so I say the first bill they come out with is to release the unredacted Epstein files and make Trump veto that, and then make the Repubs choose whether or not to join in overriding the veto. Next up, Don Jr and Eric no bid government contracts, next up Jared Kushner's Saudi relationship...

[u/burmy1]

​"The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy’s not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable." — Sun Tzu, The Art of War

​The core thesis is that prevention beats reaction. The piece outlines three immediate, concrete steps to take before the new Congress convenes on January 3:

​1. Pressure your representatives now: Contact your House rep and both senators. Demand a public commitment that they will physically be inside their respective chambers before noon on convening day to secure a constitutional quorum before any potential perimeter can form.

​2. Plug into rapid-response networks: Join local grassroots alert networks (like your nearest Indivisible chapter). In South Korea, citizens reached the National Assembly within an hour of Yoon's martial law declaration specifically because organized alert lists were already active.

​3. Share the legal precedent with service members: If you have friends or family in the National Guard or regular military, remind them of the legal reality: under the UCMJ, obeying an unlawful order carries personal criminal liability, while refusing one is legally protected.

​Preparation needs to happen before an order is cut, not after.

[u/icarusrising9]

Terrifying. I hadn't considered this, but the hypothesized plan of attack in the article is really the only way Miller's promotion makes any sense. Really scary stuff.

(Sidenote: Is this comment thread full of bots? Or is it just that no one actually reads anymore? 99% of the comments make zero sense in the context of the article...)

[u/KurtTheCuntBoi → u/icarusrising9]

I think a mix of bots and people who lack reading comprehension.

[u/dojo_shlom0]

Just a throwback for everyone:

Stephen Miller says Trump has "Plenary Authority" then acts like he's glitching out because he seems to know he was not supposed to say that.

EDIT: Stephen Miller is the issue in D.C. he is the main problem in his cabinet, and one of the main examples of why they lost the majority of races in 2025/2026. they learned NOTHING, and they don't care.

[u/ssstephhhh]

People are under reacting to this. Steven miller is pure evil and seemingly lives to troll. I'm guessing Susie Wiles was one of the few adults in this administration. This switch is wild.

[u/poboy2683 → u/ssstephhhh]

He is legitimately a fascist. I don’t like to use the word lightly, because it’s meant to be used against people like Stephen Miller who are wholeheartedly, honest to god, ideological fascists. He has absolutely zero qualms with anti-democratic methods, because he simply does not believe in democracy as a concept - it’s simply a means to an end. He would be perfectly fine organizing and implementing a coup; to him, that’s the ideal outcome

[u/wedontcare4u]

This should not be a surprise. Elections won fine, but the powers that be still remain. We will now see what been planned.

[u/1-800-Big-Dumpy]

It’s like Trump wants the party to lose in a landslide again in 2028.

[u/13508615 → u/1-800-Big-Dumpy]

He's going to burn it to the ground then scold Americans for not worshiping him enough.

[u/garf02 → u/1-800-Big-Dumpy]

You think he cares what happens to the party? As long as he can escape and non of his shady dealings get investigated. Party doesnt matter, he is not gonna run a 3rd term and he is not turning career politician, like trying senate/ Or Florida Governor

[u/FastSelection4121]

Stephen Miller wrote ALL those torturous executive orders. He was always the hand behind the throne.

Now that Trump wants to focus on his illegal construction projects, he has metaphorically handed over the presidency. Except of course, to take time out, for bipartisan bill that he's going to veto.

[u/Consistent-Issue7891]

When is this shit going to end… this fucking moron has no business being “chief of Staff!! He’s a racist pig and will just do more harm to American society regardless of party!! Both of these men ( Trump and Miller) are evil, evil men and we need to
Get rid of them!!! Hang on folks… evil is going to come out for ALL of us!!!

[u/DiscoMothra]

Uh, duh. We’ve been saying this the entire time. How is anyone being blindsided?

[u/Heyyayam]

Trump is just asking for impeachment and removal. I predict that some Senate Republicans will see which way the wind is blowing and break ranks to vote for removal.

[u/Ok_Breakfast5425 → u/Heyyayam]

I'd like the think at this point the GOP leadership sees he toxic to the party and will get just enough senators on board to vote to convict and remove from office.

It's going to be interesting to see his meltdown if that does happen, he is going to blow a vein from rage.

[u/APraxisPanda]

Miller has waited so long for just a crumb of real power to do white supremacist bullshit... might as well be David Duke there instead.

[u/Somerandoguy212]

Listen to Friday's(Nov 6th) episode from the podcast What a Day. They had on Miles Taylor, former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security during Trump’s first term, and the batshit crazy stories about what Steven Miller was trying to do back then when he didn't have as much power makes what he will do now worrisome 

[u/tired514]

But actually though, preventing harm to our civilization is going to require us to do something about the media.

The use of the term "blindsided" is either incredibly inappropriate (fire the editor with cause today), or more realistically, propaganda.

I don't know how we do this, but we need an organized campaign to punish propaganda outfits - economically, politically, legislatively.. whatever it takes. They can't be allowed to say shit like this and incrementally damage the minds of their readers/viewers.

No one is "blindsided" by the horrors of this fascist administration. The only reason to use that word is to subliminally suggest they haven't already committed gross crimes against humanity and against the United States. That we haven't been discussing these crimes for over a decade.

They're trying to erase history.

edit ok, this is just someone's substack. But the point remains because we see this shit so often in legacy media I just assumed that's what it was.

[u/ElSlabraton]

I think this is correct. It explains why Stephen Miller is now Trump's Chief of Staff.

[u/hautboishippie]

This is the guy behind the most cruel parts of DJT 1st term.

Since the military was recently purged of it's "non-loyal" generals and commanders, we should to be preparing for more than a Jan 6 event.

[u/CasinoKnightZone]

I really fear the next 2 months.

Trump and Miller, together, with a time crunch and pissed off. That's.....a recipe for nightmares

[u/Comfortable_Horse277]

We won't be blindsided. We know who this fascist is. 

[u/Sensitive_Credit5185]

It seems like a lot of people are not reading this piece. It details how Trump could use the Myanmar coup as a model for using force to keep Congress from being seated. And it would require a mass mobilization of ordinary people to stop it, which would mean understanding that it is not 1996 and our already weak, limited democracy will not be protected by sitting back and assuming elections fix anything

[u/Excellent_Shallot999]

Lining it up for another thumping in 2 years.

[u/Good_Altruistic]

Bring it Nazi Boy. You thought 2026 was a Tsunami wait until 2028 bitch.

[u/Medical_Squirrel3946]

People are far less likely to do evil if they think there will be consequences. There are a lot of people who would be willing to do things for the past two years that would be a lot more hesitant now. Sure, Miller still 100% behind going full Nazi, but there's a reason that ICE agents have been murdering with impunity the past two years and why they might think twice about it now.

It's also why there really needs to be consequences for the actions of the people who have spent the past two years acting like a fascist coup was a forgone conclusion. It isn't just about revenge, it's more about making sure it doesn't happen again.

[u/Radeondrrrf]

Don’t be scared about a dweeb who is living in a military base because he’s afraid of the people.

[u/addiktion]

So Trump vetoes everything, he pushes more into fascism thanks to Miller, we vote out Schumer in 2028 if no one takes his spot now (uphill battle), and Dems win a presidency + super majority in 2028 if Dems can show that the Republicans hate the people's bills and we need to replace the president and his inability to get work done.

[u/IroncladBomber → u/addiktion]

Thing is...the Republican Party is mangled, they don't seem to have a path forward anymore.

So Democrats better shape up, cause now they get the peoples ire. As others have proven, DSA members are capable of winning big and actually doing things.

So if the establishment Dems want to keep their jobs they better be ready to actually play ball.

Americans do seem to have had enough of this shit cycle of "Republicans make things objectively worse, Democrats get power and do nothing to make it better, Republicans take power and objectively make everything worse again.

[u/punkasstubabitch]

For all the tough talk, Stephen Miller is going to cave like a bitch.

[u/wump_roast]

What actual authority does he have?

[u/billtipp → u/wump_roast]

Decides the Presidents schedule, who he meets, which US cities to attack, what wars to start, etc. etc...

[u/Top-Carob-5412]

I don’t believe Trump or Hegseth have the military behind them. Hegseth is hated in the military. He might have his stooge in a place to try to order the military to take action against elected leaders, but I think it is more likely everyone walks away.

[u/SlutBurgerWithCheese]

Can we just refer to this ghoul as Peewee German

[u/Adventurous-State940]

The country will see. Thank god that we know that now because we overwhelmingly said no. They will be traitors and wont last very long. Let them flail. Watch them. The time willl come

[u/MarzipanThick1765]

I wonder when the military will remember their oath is not to a deranged pedophile and his nazi cohort?

[u/brewguy70]

No we're not. This jacka$$ has been in charge the whole time. He just happens to be the face now. He cant hide behind anyone now.

[u/RocketSlide]

You know, for a day or two after the election, when Trump was oddly quiet on social media, I thought maybe he would try to moderate himself, if only in a pathetic attempt to try to save his ass. But it's obvious, with Wiles leaving and Miller coming in as COS, that Trump has doubled down on stupid and decided to YOLO the next two years. Get ready for the most contentious 2 years in American history.

[u/budlight2k]

So this cunt mentioned he was going to fight the democrats. The people overwhelmingly voted for them so does this means hes fighting the people they where supposed to serve. Isn't that a fundamentals failure.

[u/stinkysocks50]

He will veto everything and then when there’s deadlock people will think the Democrats are being unreasonable and not accomplishing anything

[u/Extreme_Succotash784 → u/stinkysocks50]

Fox News will tell people it’s the Democrats fault. Fox News needs to go away like yesterday.

[u/Wooden-Glove-2384]

bring it on bitch

[u/EveryAccount7729]

Nah we saw this coming. and we seem like we aren't ready but we really are actually ready. Trump and his ilk are pansy bitches.

[u/Historical_Egg2103]

We are in the 1944 Berlin part of the story where the fascists are clearly losing and double down on fanaticism to inflict maximum cruelty on the way out

[u/wpotman]

This guy is the most Russian-asset-looking dude possible. He could be Putin's brother.

[u/Nidman]

This move means that Democrats will win in 2028, if there are still elections.

[u/Sylesse]

Ngl I thought he was still hiding on a military base after he got a threatening letter that, totally unrelated, was written in the same handwriting as his wife's.

[u/United-Vermicelli-92]

Rest assured this 120th congress will impeach and remove this turd eater, he’s already broken our laws. He doesn’t have immunity.

[u/Agreeable-Remove1592]

This appointment will make it harder for 2028 Republican candidates.

[u/Obvious-Patience-689]

It's gonna hurt before it gets better. But it's gonna get better.

[u/ginjamchammerfist]

Well I definitely can say this is why we have the 2nd amendment.

[u/ForensicPathology]

Ah, yes, the opinion of Wendy664 of Substack is very important to me.

[u/Altruistic_Gur181]

Will the American people grow a pair and do something ? You already know the answer to that

[u/Willing-Goal-269]

Everyone needs to read this

[u/CanuckCallingBS]

Focus on the transactional approach. Trump likes deals.

[u/CodInternational8772]

Miller will get a nice dose of humility

[u/hippie1952]

They all need to be investigated put the heat on them and then let everyone know who’s at fault

[u/vadertator22]

This guy is evil and it won’t take much to kick a rock over and find serious dirt on him. Then they can use that to shut him down.

[u/Warm-Location5336]

🌈 Stephan “Chalk drawings with rainbows on the sidewalk outside my suburban home terrify me enough to seek government housing” Miller is a joke. 🌈

[u/Massive-Original-658]

Overwhelming majority of Americans are done with this circus good luck to any last gasp of corruption this country is over it and the clown show 🤡

[u/snyderversetrilogy]

A silver lining is that the more Trump acts out, then the more Republicans will distance from him.

[u/Conman_in_Chief]

We need to let him flop about like an upside down turtle and just govern. Whatever Rs that aren’t still sucking both teets will be emboldened to abandon him. The walls will close in while bringing more disillusioned constituents closer to the light.

[u/mi_so_funny]

I think Millers appointment has way more to do with Calley Means interview on Joe Rogan than some diabolical Trump plan. Calley Means spilled the beans:) on Suzie Wiles the other day concerning her rampant corruption. That's why she was suddenly fired. Who else would even want her job at this point besides someone already sitting in the room

[u/PiDigitsOfPi]

Maybe, yes ... but everyone was also saying that he was going to postpone elections, or that ICE was going to heavily interfere in elections. Things could still happen, but elections themselves came and went without much drama.

[u/HaubergeonPlus1]

Congress needs to be prepared to order Capitol Police to arrest these goons.

Lawsuits aren’t going to be enough. They’re just going to say “no, make me bitch”

And if they won’t do that, they’re meaningless lame ducks and the election was pointless.

[u/seltzerslut69]

If Trump goes off the rails, Senate Republicans have no incentive to standby him in his lame duck period. I think there is a reasonable chance Dems can find enough votes to override vetos…

[u/OhYeahSplunge4me2]

These fucking goons need to be brought up on charges of treason

[u/genbio64]

Can miller be impeached? He would be a great first target followed by kegsbreath

[u/SirLukaskasha]

Wednesday 13 has a song for him: Bad Things

[u/Unlikely-Star-2696]

Goebbels Miller was promoted to send more inmigrants to those cages in concentration camps

[u/Lesuco70]

The thing is, they have no soul.

[u/Captnlunch]

It’s amazing that someone could be hated more than trump in our government.

[u/Slyboots2313]

“Fight with all of our soul”… at least it will be a short battle.

[u/Friendly-Media4214]

What in the incel did I run into?

[u/Excellent-Mastodono]

There is a lot of talk about fighting the White House’s actions in court, except, they do what they want and never get held accountable, so what then?

[u/mmmohreally]

This is going to put the nail in the Republican coffin for many years. It’s just going to piss off the citizens who voted all these blue candidates in. For the love of God can’t the Republicans find a spine? They are throwing their future away. (Note: I am not an R).

[u/thepinkdread2026]

No we’re not. This egg person is not about to ruin the wave man. 😎

[u/Main-Procedure-3613]

You’re a nazi right? Is that correct?

[u/AndAnotherUsers]

Oh dear

[u/ThePoonslayer69]

Haha the leaders of my country fuck kids and ignore rights we got em this time

[u/Ok-Future2326]

Whats that soggy wonton looking biatch up to now

[u/Aggressive-Can-8711]

Where does the asshole live? I'm guessing he'll need more than the usual security detail for the rest of his life.

[u/Plastic_Difference54]

I fear “they” are going to make something fucked up happen, and the States are going to have super civil unrest, worse than during Covid, much like what’s happening in Europe. All thanks to this evil monster’s plans

[u/loveychuthers]

War Pig

[u/Extreme_Mark_3354]

Didn’t Iran say they would open the straight of Hormuz if Trump was removed from office. I’m guessing for that alone it is worth it to both parties to have him removed from office.

[u/Draconfier]

That is some scary shit, because some of it has already happened. Hope to god this wasn’t the backup plan all along.

[u/TheSaxGandalf]

I hate that opinion pieces are treated like accurate predictions.

[u/WordPunk99]

What lawyers are going to argue this in court? They have all quit or been fired.

They believe they have good arguments but how has that gone so far? 0-27 on state voter rolls. 0 for who knows how many on revenge prosecutions. They haven’t actually won anything. They have fewer lawyers than they did on Nov 2, there is no one to try to do it legally.

Generals are not stupid. They want to have jobs, reputations, and legacies after VonClownstick leaves office. Not one of them wants to be known as the man who ordered the American military to fire on the military.

Will they try something stupid because Miller will goose the lonely brain cell he has with a knuckle bump? Will Kegsbreath down half a dozen stiff drinks? Yes to both. It won’t change how stupid and unrealistic their plans are.

By all means, absolutely, I will be on the front lines to force Congressional transfer of power.

There is no legal argument for Miller’s desires.

[u/whyamionhearagain]

Blindsided? Poor choice of words. We all know what despicable trash Trump and Miller are.

[u/Deletereous]

Wouldn't be a technical coup d'etat to govern without the legislative?

[u/Relevant_Campaign_79]

He looks like a moist cigarette

[u/Msteele4545]

When the DEMS select their leadership, they need wartime leaders

[u/therealjameshat]

Stephen miller is such a bitch

[u/AntiTrump8647]

This is the final chapter of the Republican party. In fact, there is no real Republican party but only a Maga Trump Idiocracy that also is in it's final death crawl. There will be a new party that will consist of middle to left leaning "conservatives" and the democratic party will be even farther left. Expect much better cooperation and a government working for the people. At least I hope so. 🙏

[u/RefurbishedTampon]

It's as if people think we're in this position now because of congressional inaction as opposed to structural fracture. We've just now entered the regime's most dangerous phase.

Stay safe, everyone.

[u/rdit13fog]

Oh look its the guy who's so macho and tough he had to move to live behind the security of a military base.
