    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.

      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.

        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.

          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.

      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.

    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?
