Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

When Trump dies, how long do you think Stephen Miller will try to keep it quiet?
Trump needed the presidency to keep him out of prison. Steven Miller needs Trump's protection so 8 year old girls don't take his lunch money.
I read the below recently from Millers wife and can't help but think that he is the lamest attempt at a villain I've ever heard of. Genuinely one of the most pathetic people I've ever read about.
"He is an incredibly inspiring man who gets me going in the morning with his speeches, being like, 'Let's start the day. I am going to defeat the left, and we are going to win,'"

They won't be able to hide it for 20 seconds.
Everyone around Trump is there to catch the flotsam and jetsam of his power and political capital, when he croaks, everyone will suddenly be trying to engage in their own power-grab plans, it will be complete chaos.
Republicans have no leader. They have nobody who can take the reins and keep Trump's only real political capital under control, his dumb-as-fuck hillbilly base of heavily armed nutcases. They will mourn for a week and then get distracted by something and just like that, the fascist empire will start to erode as all these unlikable clowns trip over each other to try to become the next Trump.
Fun if similar to the movie Death of Stalin and the example of such a vacuum. No spoilers but Stalin isn’t the only one who dies. Great comedy. Highly recommend.
No spoilers?
I'm pretty sure it was a documentary not a comedy.
I've always said when Trump dies MAGA will eat it's own head. The power grab back stabbing will be hilarious.
Invest now in popcorn eating memes, it's going TO THE MOON
