Holy shit! Miller looks just like him. Insanely pathetic and atrocious that someone who is of Jewish descent (or anyone at all) is emulating the Nazi party's Chief Propagandist.

Miller should remember where Goebels ended up, his last defense of his actions and his own “ultimate solution.” Miller sees himself as a Himmler/Goebbels combination; he has nothing but hatred fueling his every breath.

Wonderful. Hit the nail on the head, as always.

I frequently think Trump&his orbit must have some mental illness or are amoral&vacuous Pam Bondi springs to mind, but a person of Jewish ancestry embracing Joseph Goebbels is a real head scratcher? George Conway says he’s more Himmler, but Stephen himself embraces Goebbels.

Does he know how Goebbels&his family ended?

BTW the sooner we forget Charlie Kirk&consign him to some trash heap, the better

He retained none of the principles found in the Torah and the Talmud. He represents all the expressions of a Gestapo leader.

If he ever had read them is a great question. If he had read them he retained nothing as exemplified by his words and deeds.

Did he even read either of them? He strikes me as being similar to the Christian nationalists in that they've never read the Bible, or if they read it, they didn't understand the point of it

That was Karl Popper’s conclusion. Its validity is proved all the time!

Thank you for the insight. I didn't watch that circus, but it was as I figured after reading this. Miller has dangerous borrowed ideas, but poorly expresses them. Good. Can't wait until he becomes so boring and irrelevant, that he fades back into the shadows. Like Joseph McCarthy in the 50s and 60s. He made a big noise and ended up alone, shunned and died an alcoholic. Heres hoping.

Well presented critique of a thoroughly despicable man.

Miller a venomous stooge, propped up like a ghoulish lawn gnome to promote an ever more despicable man.

In Truth Pee Wee German is far more nauseating than frightening.

Alone against any ONE individual (like my grandma) he barely measures up.

In politics the only tool he has is his connection to Dear Sundowning Leader - without it what will become of him against more presentable tools than himself?

Even *shudder* JD has more appeal than this dime store horror novel character.

Yet - under estimating his foul reach is inadvisable.

Cornered creatures fight with strength thats factors more than their size - in short bursts - defending against their doom.

Caution is certainly advised - as we shove him deep into that un-comfy place.

I'm getting more and more to rely on your essays, Mr/Ms. Closer To...

Exactly the kind of righteous anger and nasty satire that's needed right now...

Miller reminds me of Grima Wormtongue in The Lord of the Rings Movies (part 1?). Or Igor in an old Frankenstein movie... Has that same pale, vampiric face; like something decaying right in front of you. The gleam in his eye is supplied by a demonic fount of evil bubbling up from his rotting insides. Shakespeare, as usual, got Miller right 425 years ago when he created Richard the 3rd.

Still, despite his vaudvillian second-rate performances, Herr Miller has a lot of power over his boss, Jabba the Hut... He whispers in blubberboy's ear and actual troops invade Chicago.

Keep up the bad work--I depend on it!
