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!

Would love to see Miller, along with the rest of the Trump sycophants, end up on the front line of the assault on Iran.

Is there a readable story (not a podcast)? The story's Politico link is to a separate story.

It certainly would be news if Miller was losing Trump's ear, because Trump has pretty much handed over all immigration policy to Miller with no restraints since the beginning.

Edit: Thanks replies, here is the link to the transcript: https://newrepublic.com/article/208332/transcript-trump-allies-shiv-stephen-miller-midterm-panic-grows

I read the linked transcript. It's mostly hypothesis about the increasing number of leaks and rumors that Trump is unhappy with the effect of mass deportation on his popularity, which is Miller's big thing. I can believe that, but it's a long way from anything actively throwing him under the bus. It wouldn't be surprising if he did soon though.

They have a transcript linked

[–] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago

Thanks, sorry, I must have scanned the article three times before I saw it.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 43 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

No. Just, no. The WSJ is pretending that trump has object permanence and gives a rat’s ass about anything but himself.

Who are they writing for? The last person in the room clearly said he would lose midterms because of ICE and the demented rapist saw imaginary money leave his accounts. That’s all that’s happened here.

There is nothing - zero, bupkis, nada - to this story and if anything were to happen around any of the topics it would be sheer coincidence.

American journalism such as can be called mainstream has been dead for a decade at least. And it stinks.

[–] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

The story literally calls what they are doing in the attached podcast "divining". I don't need anyone to read bones on this one.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 4 points 15 hours ago

Not quite nothing: some Trump lackey is briefing journalists against Miller. It might be due to rivalry, or to gauge public reaction to something Trump's thinking out loud about doing. Beyond that, it's like Kremlinology, except Trump's a worse cabbage than even Chernenko.

[–] DragonAce@lemmy.world 46 points 20 hours ago (6 children)

Miller has the most punchable face I've ever seen. Why has no one beat the snot out of this little goebbles wannabe?

[–] Asafum@lemmy.world 32 points 19 hours ago

Because he moved into housing at a military site for protection. He doesn't go out because when he's not spitting vile comments out of the white house he's too busy eating dead children in his basement.

[–] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 11 points 20 hours ago

He wasn't bullied hard enough.

[–] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 10 points 20 hours ago

I ask this question everytime. Most likely because similar to everyone in the Trump administration, these tough cowards are afraid of everything: from sidewalk chalk to their own shadows so they live on military bases out of fear.

[–] chahn.chris@piefed.social 7 points 20 hours ago

They probably already did when he was little. It lead to this.

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

How can a supremacist even be bald at that age? If his genes are any good, then where is his head hair?

[–] GalacticSushi@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 17 hours ago

where is his head hair?

I shit you not, his head hair comes from a spray can

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 4 points 19 hours ago

I have been challenging him to a fist fight for over a year but he doesn’t respond to my messages.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 20 hours ago

If it's not a literal statement it's not good enough

At times like these I basically let the players cast Vicious Mockery without expending a spell slot, even if they aren't a Bard

You perceive that the target was so short because it was a child!

Legendary video 😁😁

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 19 hours ago

Can someone literally throw this guy under a bus, please?

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 8 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I WANT TO PUNCH STEPHEN MILLER IN THE FACE SO BADLY.

[–] ThisUsernameKillsFascists@piefed.social 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

We all do. If we all banded together, we could probably actually make it happen…
