This is Stephen Miller’s (White House Deputy Chief) response to Karen Bass (Los Angeles Mayor).
The “states’ rights” crowd is not very supportive of states’ right, right now.
They never were. It was always cover to do awful shit like overturn Roe.
“States’ rights” has always been a bullshit lie. The confederacy did not honor states rights. The constitution explicitly instituted slavery as an institution an individual state could not abolish.
States’ rights to abuse its citizens, no states’ rights to protect any of them.
Little punk sure talks big when you can’t reach his little pencil neck. If federal law was as supreme as he plays up, him and his entire bunch would be behind bars right now
Easy to sound like a big man when you’re shouting from behind a few hundred marines.
But that’s sort of the crux of the issue. Miller has the Miller-tary at his beck and call while Mayor Bass will be lucky if half her LAPD don’t turn and open fire on her because they say they smelled weed. The folks with the guns seem absolutely gleeful in stomping their boots on the necks of LA residents.
Unfortunately yeah
It wouldn’t surprise me if Miller was one of those “Skinny guys [that] fight 'til they’re burger.”
I thought he might have been the source of Elmu’s black eye for a while.
Maybe. All I’ve seen him do though bitch andnmoan and threaten with is mouth
hold on, this is from the “states rights” lot, right?
Smeagol lied.
I think Miller is more a mix of Joseph Goebbels and Wormtongue, both sycophants seeking to advance on the backs of others.
Smeagol was basically a good guy until he was enchanted by evil. Miller brings evil with him.
I think of Miller as more like Himmler, which is why I call him PeeWee Himmler. Bannon is more analogous to Goebbels.
Goebbels was on the propaganda side, while Himmler was on the Final Solution side.
I’m shocked! Shocked! I can’t believe that Smeagol would lie about anything.
JRR Tolkien had smeagol a chance at redemption, but Sam blew it. There’s a yt video about it, if anyone cares to look.
States rights are only for conservative states. Blue states don’t have any rights. Everybody knows that.
I bet a few red states are in for a surprise.
I would expect nothing less from a literal nazi.
The party of “small government”, trampling over the rights of the state of California, one of the largest economies in the world.
The party of “state’s rights”.
You can start rehearsing the rebel yell sounds of popcorn, sorry, of gulping and smell of jasmine tea in my room
Executive orders ARE NOT LAW!
The law doesn’t matter unless the president says it does. We can disagree but it doesn’t matter until he is removed.
EOs are far more powerful because they trigger actual action by federal agencies.
It may not be how we learned it in Social Studies, but this is the streets.
States rights…to own slaves. Individual rights…to extract profit. Divine Federal right to smash dissent.
I need this on a shirt
States rights! Until I see anything I DONT LIKE, then unlimited power federal government!
Stop paying taxes. Let miller figure out how he’s gonna pay the military to keep up this supreme leader bullshit.
How?
Federal taxes don’t pass through California on the way to the feds.
Where are all the right wing states rights mouthbreathers now?
They’re the ones firing rubber bullets at news reporters.
Grima Wormtongue-ass mfer.
That’s a weird way to spell “heil Trump”.
Steven Miller has got to be high on the list of most punchable faces
That’s Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller to his friends.
Great Value Goebbels.
Face most replaceable with an ash tray.
He actually overshadows Aijit Pai by a planetary scale.
What a shithead, we’ve fought rebellions in this country over goddamn stamps and whiskey, and they really imagine material conditions are good enough that this sort of behavior will be tolerated amidst their ill advised trade war?
Yeah, the last time a rebellion happened, it was to reinstate full blown fascism, and what few concessions were pissed away because we got too comfortable, and when that wore off everyone was too soft to venture anything, with a few notable exceptions.
You mean to tell me that we’re supposed to take advice from a guy who can’t even grow his own hair?
